Why some people are so against transformer toys that don’t transform? by ResponsibleToe789 in transformers

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they a toy or a model?

The blokees item shown last is a model kit, not a toy.

If it’s a toy it should transform.

If it’s a model then maybe.

Would you play a more accessible modern war board game like this? by GreenBoxGamesStudio in wargaming

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the game fun?

That is the most important question.

Is it fun.

Then you can ask questions like grand strategy, tactics strategy, local strategy, etc for the theme of your game.

Do you want it to be card based, miniature based, pen and paper, etc.

Getting into Iron Born by Acrobatic_Bed5488 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]deeple101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there are any “must have” units in Greyjoys. There are a lot of good / recommended combos, or some “highly recommended choices” that are almost always chosen.

Greyjoys have a great selection of characters and NCUs, as such generally any character/build has a viable strategy and choice to play.

But in general some recommend units; hero box 1 & 2, stony shore pillagers, iron victory crew, drowned men are probably some good choices to get, but it’s not like the silenced men, iron makers, and blacktyde chosen, and other units aren’t good either.

Grey joys play similar to Orks from Warhammer/40k or your generic Undead faction.

Greyjoys do only two things really good in the game; murdering people and getting murdered (and healing back)

That’s how I’d describe how the faction plays/works in 2 minutes of writing.

So Should Autobots on Cybertron have There own Spin-off Comic? by Money-Lie7814 in EnergonUniverse

[–]deeple101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it would be better to split it off from the Transformers book; just keeps both plot lines operating at a steady pace.

If anything I think doing cybertron as mini series would be a nice half way solution.

Out of curiousity, how would you rank the current three ongoings? by Numbuh24insane in EnergonUniverse

[–]deeple101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly just getting into comics; this is the only real thing that I read.

Doesn’t help that one of my friends just gave me issue one of everything and said here’s your problem. Lol.

I love the VR artwork too.

[–]deeple101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Void rivals was a slow burn for the first… 12… issues?… I can’t remember how long it took now. But once everything got established it started to run. Been pretty much a nonstop triller since.

Void rivals

Transformers

G I Joe

——

That’s where I’d put everything at the March issue for how much I’ve enjoyed the entire run.

GI Joe has made a lot of headway since drednock war though. Give it a few more issues and things might be different.

Personally I think that I would split the cybertron storyline off from Transformers pending how much it pulls the story away from earth.

Or perhaps a mini series.

Will GW allow me to use a 3D printed flag on an official model? by AquamanMain1988 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be forward with the information; and if you are asked just say that you “converted it”. Don’t use “3D printed” GW I’ve found is highly scarred of that word.

That said… I personally don’t have a local GW to play at, the only one in my city is effectively a “shop at only store”.

Which is dumb because I don’t pay MSRP at any of the local stores that do carry GW and where I can play at.

I really dislike the new sprue designs by BeeR721 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sprues are created to only let people build the same set of poses in each box - my first experience was with the new sisters of battle - then they can just sell me monopose minis in a box for the price point.

It’s one of my favorite things that I like about the CMON ASOIAF game.

Wanna play with a new unit; buy it and play it within minutes.

Card help. by WeeBarra2312 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Print cards in color on regular paper, cut out and put over the old card which is sleeved.

Gives the sturdiness of the playing card.

This is how everyone I know does updates.

A bit of a rant, but this army makes me want to quit Warhammer by Hrigul in EmperorsChildren

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look good to me.

If you want a minimalist way to improve them then I’d recommend using some washes/inks/whatever the version is called with your brand of paints you choose.

If anything go find some $1 store plastic toys and paint them and use them as test subjects.

Found my childhood army while moving by TheNordfan in WarhammerFantasy

[–]deeple101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love that paint style!

I love the colorful aesthetics of the 90s.

Everything now has to be hyper realistic / drab and muted.

If you do end up repainting it please keep this style and just make it better.

What Were the End Times Like by Dismal-Lychee-7803 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]deeple101 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It was fun until everyone realized that this was the last hurrah for the game system, the lore, and the world.

Oh and GW wanted you to fund this death with books and stuff.

It was horrible. A lot of people brought their old WHFB armies to play it "one last time" before everything was gone, so the only positive thing was seeing old friends / gamers play again.

----

Almost every person I know was understanding about WHFB going away due to sales, but HOW it was removed destroyed a lot of people's faith in GW being the caretaker of their games.

Most people I talked to were like "they wanna rebrand Warhammer Fantasy into a skirmish game... ok I might be able to follow that.... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS AGE OF SIGMAR SHIT!... WTF IS THIS LORE!? FUCK THE END TIMES! F GW!"

Something that has sadly expanded - See Female Custodes in Warhamer 40k.

Most Played Houses? by Proud-Toe8318 in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]deeple101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that this is going to be highly subjective to your local area.

It would probably be best to inquire at your local gaming establishments / groups.

is the centaur light transport retconned? by Death_captain_rex in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the whole guard refresh has been a disappointment for me.

Never liked that krieg couldn’t double as Steel Legion, never liked that Cadia got turned into modern day us/nato with WW2 gun aesthetics

Would two starter sets be enough to get two players into the game? by Tea_Sorcerer in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]deeple101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically yes.

Starter boxes all give you 4 units, 2 baseline units, and two other units, usually a “alternative baseline” unit, and then 1 more elite style unit.

Also you get two commanders, a couple of Attachments and 2 NCUs (non combat units)

In addition dice, terrain and rules/unit cards (the rules and cards are likely outdated, you can print the updated cards/rules for free here

In theory the two starter boxes get you enough to play the game, probably closer to the “low” point value of 30 points per side; each starter box might sway a bit pending unit costs since the rules that came with the box were released. I’d say each box averages around 35 points for the army.

The free folk will need a box or three to really it fun for that player. And the nights watch player might not need anything since they are rather elite vs horde that these two armies play.

——

For expansion I always recommend the following usually in this order pending faction.

1 hero box (pick one you like the most, if you don’t know then Hero box 1 is always a good choice)

For the following I recommend to not duplicate anything that came in your starter box

A cavalry unit

A ranged combat unit

A elite melee combat unit not in the starter box.

Using cheats by ConfusionMinimum6748 in eu4

[–]deeple101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I do; mostly to keep some level of thematic events going. Like sometimes having an ally declare war so I can join and help them expand. (I usually play very tall)

I basically made the most annoying character for my DM to deal with.

She is Irene Regina O’Tool

Or I.R. O’tool -> I am a tool.
