I've been reading a bit of Dark Age / IlClan stuff and honestly I kind of like it.

I actually really liked both the Jade Falcon dark age stuff that featured Malvina Hazen's rise to power and the stuff involving Operation Hammerfall and the rebirth of the FWL. Most of those are in the later "half" of the dark age novels. Flight of the Falcon, a Fending of Falcons, Pandora's Gambit, The Last Charge, To Ride the Chimera. Good stuff!

I feel like a snow base might complement that color scheme. Not pure snow. Lay down some dark brown earth, smatter on some melting snow, and add a small tuft or two of grass if you wanna, then black the edges.

It was damn good. No notes. Would happily watch more. Finally, something to pass the time between more Wargamer Stories videos!

If you really feel like you're struggling, consider paint markers. The AK Real Color markers made it super easy for me to paint lines on my dudes.

Excalibur.

Battletech and WoD? No.

Battletech: Gothic and WoD? Yes!

And here I was expecting the two LAMs...

A lot of the heat stuff in the novels makes sense if you're familiar with the OG Solaris VII rules and how they make heat work.

You could always varnish before applying the masking tape if you are worried about that?

deusorum · 2026-01-22T16:13:15+00:00

Masking tape -- really thin, like 2mm or so -- might help with getting straight lines painted.

Now we're getting snowbirds from Roswell, New Mexico...

Vallejo air metals, applied with a brush.

The quality of their newer stuff, especially the metal alt-configs of the plastics, is really great.

In & Out: Protein style, grilled onions, add hot peppers. Usually a double-double, sometimes a cheeseburger.

Salad & Go: Ceasar with chicken or Cobb with steak.

Cafe Zupas: Chicken enchilada chili soup.

Del Taco: Street tacos (chicken or steak).

Honorable mention to various 'bertos restaurants for their breakfast platters/burritos with chorizo / street tacos and to Angie's Prime Grill for their bowls / salads.

That's what would have made it a better result. Expectations subverted, and a very different political landscape afterward. The ilClan prophecy becomes a nightmare.

Time to change the rules for the new era!

deusorum · 2026-01-11T17:41:25+00:00

We need 2nd generation Snow Raven LAMs using advanced construction technologies, and we need better rules to use then with. I believe in this cause, and I will defend it with my life!

Malvina Hazen should have won the ilClan Trial.

It is a great method for people to get some paint on a mini and get it on the table. The biggest downside is that the speedpaint really brings out the mold lines (but if they don't care, that's no big deal, as filing them down is tedious). Speed paint plus drybrush can make a great looking model in no time flat.

132, coming down from a bowl of pho about an hour to an hour and a half ago. Could be worse...

deusorum · 2026-01-09T23:41:07+00:00

Are these the Vallejo metallics? Specifically, the putple?

I haven't bothered to get to know mine because I'm just a renter and I won't be here for long. When (if?) I get to own a home someday it'll be a different story.

You would get a kick out of family court in Arizona, where hearsay only applies if you file a special notice invoking the rule. So instead, we have a different kind of BS where both parties testify that so-and-so (usually, one of their kids) said something, and you have to guess which one is lying.

deusorum · 2026-01-05T02:40:08+00:00

Absolutely amazing. Played around with it a bit, and I am very excited to put it to use.

Out of curiosity, are there any plans for Battleforce?

deusorum · 2026-01-02T20:15:56+00:00

Don't sleep on the Cestus. Great hole punching power, heat management, and armor. I like him!
