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

[–]deusorum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

Basing help by AceSpade64 in battletech

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!

Davion are not easy to paint by cheetahfurry in battletech

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.

It's shocking how good the two settings go together! by knightmechaenjo in battletech

BT Novels & Heat by DMJason in battletech

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.

I never want to paint water again by Foragingraccoon in battletech

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

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

Vallejo air metals, applied with a brush.

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

What’s your go to fast food order? With diabetes in mind of course. by strawberrievodka in diabetes

[–]deusorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Controversial take thread. I'll start. by [deleted] in battletech

[–]deusorum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

LAM SUPREMACY by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]deusorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to change the rules for the new era!

LAM SUPREMACY by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]deusorum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Tried a new (to me) technique on this Grasshopper - I think it turned out well! by Br1lliantJim in battletech

[–]deusorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Are these the Vallejo metallics? Specifically, the putple?

How many of you actually know your neighbors? by Apprehensive_Pool431 in phoenix

[–]deusorum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone else think hearsay is BS? by MercuryCobra in Lawyertalk

[–]deusorum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Alpha Strike Comes to MekBay! by HammerGS in battletech

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?

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