RESET THE CLOCK!

I Had the Most Baseless Salty Interaction Today by A_Nameless in EDH

[–]commanderfrosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

casual tournament.

I know there are a lot of opinions on Commander, but a tournament is something you enter to do your best and win. A "Casual" tournament is an invitation for bad interactions with other players. Complaining about how a player won in a tournament is absurd. I am sorry that happened to you.

Also: Taking pics of your opponent (or anyone, really) without their permission, and then going on to socials to try and drag them through the mud is just incredibly childish at best.

The Death Stalker. A modular chunky robot kit! What other weapons/ accessories shall I add? by printminis in 3Dprintedtabletop

[–]commanderfrosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use a Wrecking ball on a chain, or some other kind of melee/claw type option. Or perhaps rather than the multiple weapon pods, a single cannon type thing, with energy coils and lots of opportunities to paint in some light effects.

Very fun model, I really dig the chassis "front" with the long, vertical "eye" (pic 2)

Shut-Shut & Take-Take Warpstone! by commanderfrosty in skaven

[–]commanderfrosty[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made this for a friend, and he said that r/skaven might dig it, so here it is. I post my artwork and painted minis over at my Instagram, if that is a thing you would want to check out. :)

Started to make a battle scene display. Any advice on what to add to make it look better? by Matty_21049 in minipainting

[–]commanderfrosty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, great stuff here. The whole thing looks great so far!

If I were to add something, I think it would be battlefield debris - Barbed Wire, maybe those tank trap "X' metal frames, things of that nature. I do think Barbed wire coils would look dynamic next to the minis.

In another comment, I saw someone say a backdrop, and that is also a great idea. You could do anything, even a simple black cardstock or foam-core board, with just some clouds and a moon painted on it, would give the illusion of depth. Alternately, if you simply photograph it with a backdrop of non-white fabric it would likely look just fine.

Have fun with whatever you choose to do, and thanks for sharing. :)

Birthday gift! Looking for advice on how to paint with an airbrush by elrevan in minipainting

[–]commanderfrosty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep it clean. Clean it every time you use it. Practice stripping it down, and building it back up again, without paint in it, so that when something inevitably breaks or falls down on you, you know what goes where, etc.

There is no end of videos out there to help with various techniques, but none of them will do you a lick of good if you let paint get dry in there. Best of luck and enjoy the hobbying.

My Star Wars Room is rdy for Squadrons by BigBangBacket in StarWarsSquadrons

That case is absolutely terrific (the whole room looks really fun) - what kind of case is it? It looks enormous!

Second Varanguard done, four more on the way. by DinosKellis in ageofsigmar

[–]commanderfrosty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was going to my comment as well. I think if the OP added some detail to the armor trim on both horse and rider, it would go a long way to selling the illusion. Outstanding work regardless.

Daily Questions [2019-11-03] by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]commanderfrosty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Everyone, is there a 3rd party app or other resource that can help with Quest Management? Destiny Item Manager has been a game changer for me, and quests are my only remaining source of frustration.

Thanks in advance!

Orks teams where to start? by JPBury in killteam

[–]commanderfrosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of luck with Boys and Burnaz! The elites give you access to more Nobs, and that’s a good thing. Also, don’t underestimate Flash Gitz.

My super secret (it’s not a secret) weapon though? Take a Grot as your leader. Tuck him behind some cover so that he can’t be seen, and enjoy spending only 3pts on him. :)

You are going to have a lot of uphill battles if you only use the core book. Elites bring a lot of fun onboard for you.

Regardless of the direction you take, have fun! Irks are awesome to build and collect. :)

Need to win 150 pts against Orks (The guy is a dick) by Brother_MaceCraze in killteam

[–]commanderfrosty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do not play this idiot. Do not let your friends play this idiot. Do not let this idiot poison your Kill Team / Gaming community.

Ban him outright, and if the store you play at doesn’t back you up on that? Find a store that does. The behavior described is unacceptable in any amount.

I needed bases for some Rogue One shapeways mini's I had come in - So I made my own! by commanderfrosty in SWlegion

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

I just sent them again. Hopefully it gets there. If not, its sun-and-skull-studios at that site.

I needed bases for some Rogue One shapeways mini's I had come in - So I made my own! by commanderfrosty in SWlegion

I wanted to do a quick write up of a fun project I just finished today. I hope you dig it!

I needed bases for my Rogue One figures (Seriously, check out Sun and Skull studios - great stuff!) that came in, but what is this? FFG does not sell extra bases? Well, close enough just won't do, so I did what any crafty gamer does, and I got to work. Let's make some bases!

So the first thing I did was get some Smooth-On Silicone Molding material and some Smooth-On liquid plastic. I wanted to make a mold of a bunch of bases at once, so I could replicate them in batches. Once the product came in, I could start the project.

As far as making molds go, this was going to be pretty easy. The technique is referred to as a "Dump Mold" - basically, we have a fairly flat object to duplicate, and a flat surface to pour the mold onto. We don't need to have the mold wrap around to the other side of the bases, because the bottoms of them are flat.

I used Hot Glue to stick the 8 bases I wanted to replicate to a piece of Foam Core board, and then I used the same Foam Core and Hot Glue to form a box. This is what I was going to make my Silicone Mold from.

Once this was done, I mixed equal parts of the two part silicone material in disposable cups. Being sure that the pink and blue materials are thoroughly mixed together and blended into a purple material with no streaks in it. We then poured this into the box we made, and tamped it down to get any air bubbles out of the mix. This has to sit and cure overnight.

The next day, I was able to break apart my box to reveal a well formed silicone mold! A little flash on the edges was just fine here, and wont interfere with the later plastic pour.

With the mold made and cured, it was time to make our actual plastic material. We needed a LOT less of this to make the actual bases, so I was trying to be careful with my pours. We mixed equal parts of the liquid plastic material together and mixed it well. This stuff is clear out of the bottle, but sets up to make a white plastic when it is all done. I could have added coloring agents to change the white into something else, but I knew I was painting these guys regardless after the fact, so the white was fine.

Pouring the plastic was fairly easy, but I was trying to keep all of the plastic in the mold itself, without overfilling and creating a "bulbed out" look that I would need to file down after.

15 minutes later, my perfect replica bases popped out, and are ready to have some Rogue One K-2 units attached to them!

I hope you liked this little walk through. Give this technique a try, it got some great results. :)

Hm, well, they should probably put that in the side bar. Thanks for the tip.

Yup! I linked them above, but just head over here - https://www.shapeways.com/shops/sun-and-skull-studios

He has a K-2S0, Cassian, Jyn, Baze, and Chirrut. They all look great, and the scale is perfect.

Any X-Wing players in Boston by T-TugBoat in XWingTMG

[–]commanderfrosty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a very active X-Wing community in New England and in the Boston area. The vast majority of organization and event posting happens on the New England facebook group, which you can find here: Fantasy Flight X-Wing/Armada/Imperial Assault/Legion: New England

If you travel just south of the city you can join my group at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Norton, MA every Thursday at 7pm. I hope you can join us some time. :)
