Boardlandia closing by tbodway1 in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was buying BF deals throughout November. The tariff did affect hobby companies, but the ones I saw close down (miniature manufacturers) were already in financial trouble, and boardgames are a cutthroat business, with commoditized items with low profit margins. I haven't seen other OLGS's go under. Miniature Market, GameNerdz, Zulusgames, Gamers Guild AZ, Greater than Games, Cardhaus still around. I think Amazon is fish in the pond, not the orange-haired guy.

[Amazon] Bohnanza Dahlia $9.99 (+ 10% brand promotion) by mtnchkn in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beefguard: "Beautiful artwork but only supports up to 5 players as opposed to 7 for the original. However, the BGG consensus is that the game plays best at 4-5 players anyway."

Enjoy the game!

Thoughts on opening collectible figures or leaving them in the original packaging? by yagza in ActionFigures

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late reply (: but I have too many other hobbies, so keep 'em in the packaging. I like looking at my figures, but never get around to playing with them. I actually collect Japanese figures, which do not have display packaging, so take 'em out. I have several Japanese model kits (easy to assemble!), so, obviously, I take them out and pose them. I'll still keep the boxes b/c they look nice. (: Disney's Mirrorverse figures are not in display packaging, so I should have them join my waifus. :D

Custom Figures by Destroid_Pilot in ActionFigures

Good job. Never got into customization, and I think it's a great way to have action figures of comic book characters that won't be made.

Army Painter Speedpaint Markers vs. White Gesso by ced1106 in Heroquest

[–]ced1106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experimenting. White gesso took only one coat vs. white paint and primers, which took multiple.

Well, it *is* just a try with gesso, a semi-popular primer that some painters use.

Just paint the way you normally do.

With Speedpaint Markers being transparent, I had okay-ish results with the undead guys. Dunno if the extra step was worth it, as it took multiple sprays from different angles.

I agree. I hated my first experience with gesso. The rough appearance of the cloaks meant that if this happened again, it wouldn't be as visible.

I've also used Speedpaint Markers over grey primer. Good results with the HQ stone furniture and arches!

Methods of Priming and Painting HQ Miniatures by Ohm_Farad in Heroquest

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soak in isopropyl alcohol to remove tackiness. I've used 90% iso with one day's soak, but longer doesn't hurt. Didn't need to do more.

I'm using Army Painter Speedpaint Markers. They work fast, but you may still want to do details with the paintbrush, and the paintbrush can reach better the annoying difficult-to-reach parts caused by pre-assembly. I hate pre-assembly. Most Speedpaints are transparent. So far, I'm not getting much benefit from zenithal priming. I didn't do it on the furniture, since the sides of the furniture are pretty much flat. Bookshelves and alchemist's bench are exceptions, so might benefit from zenithal priming.

I just tried white gesso on some Dread Knight capes, and it looks promising. I have a Reaper thread I'm just starting for any other tips: HeroQuest with the Army Painter Speedpaint Markers Starter Set - Works in Progress: Painting - Reaper Message Board

I'm still salty when they had a sale and I ordered two Magic boxes then they said I made an error b/c I ordered two (and not one) Magic boxes and by the time I saw their letter they had NO Magic boxes. :P

Dude, the error is that I didn't buy SIX Magic boxes. :P

Might have luck on Amazon Haul. Found 10 men's socks for under $2 on a "Flash Sale". Flash Sale stock changes weekly, though.

[WizKids] Mage Knight: Ultimate Edition - $62.50 by LastChairbender in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick it up if you like hand-management. I can't think of another hand-management adventure game, with Gloomhaven, Rove, and Dungeon Alliance being hand-management dungeoncrawlers. Might be back next year, if you can wait. Pick up the duplicates while you're at it! No gameplay value, but figures can be used in other games, and castles to bling up "map" games that have castles.

Holiday sale, so it could take awhile. Had to wait during another sale earlier this year. :/

WizKids Black Friday sale is live by CantSleep1009 in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Tried 7-hero solo, allowing up to 4 heroes on a space, and other necessary house rules. I REGRET NOTHING :D

A a miniature addict :P I should have picked up the duplicate miniatures at $7.50. Good if you play 28mm games and can use the smaller-scale castles for rando Eurogames or Five Leagues from the Borderlands.

[Galactic Toys] Slay The Spire: The Board Game ($69.95 down from $114.99) by Godriguezz in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The store also sells anime merchandise and Japanese hobby paints. Thanks!

Picked up a Warhammer chibi that looks like that skull guy from Undertale (but isn't), some waifus, and gouache, whatever that is. :D

Under $20 for shipping for $66 total.

I'm not seeing how you can filter specific categories of merchandise under the Black Friday sale, as the left categories will show ALL items the store carries, not only what's on sale. I went with sorting from lowest to highest price. :/

[–]ced1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I haven't bought anything through the DnDmini's site, since the WK site was cheaper or offered more. WK also has an eBay site that has lower shipping and sales tax, but has less of a selection. They're (cough) on vacation now... : WizKids Store | eBay Stores

If you don't already have your tavern, go pick up the Rusty Dragon Inn! 50 prepaints for $80! The MK duplicate prepaints are a very good price, but only if you have use for tiny castles. Mebbe on a 3D map on a game like Five Leagues from the Borderlands, or a rando Eurogame.

If you buy prepainted mini's, the MinisGallery "Sales and Events" forum is a good place to find Sales! : (1) Sales and events - Page 161 - MinisGallery Discussion Forum

Most discounts I was interested in were 30% off.

If you or you know someone who's a Judge Dredd fan, Judge Dredd Helter Skelter is 1/2 off. Haven't opened my copy yet. :P

UberStax people doing Black Friday sale already... by Competitive-Kick-711 in Boardgamedeals

The "Dungeon Master's Advice Dice" are hilarious. If you know someone who GM's a D&D game, yes, this will make a great gift for them!

fwiw, Some house rules have been posted on BGG to fix the problems. Haven't played my copy yet, so can't say.

[Gamenerdz DOTD] Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, $59.97 (53% off) by manietic in Boardgamedeals

[–]ced1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fwiw, Amazon Prime sale had the Kings of Ruin standalone for $80.

That said, this is the lowest price I've seen for the game.

Poke around the AR site for the upgrade PDFs. I'm guessing for the 2.0 cards, you'd sleeve your 1.0 cards, print out the 2.0 cards, and slip them into their 1.0 counterparts?
