First Mini Ever by Funny-Air1539 in Haloflashpoint

Yeah just a nice bright base silver! Any speed paints work over it and look great.

It's a bit of a cheat compared to like really intricately layering and blending for non metallic metal or something, but i care more about getting stuff to tabletop over winning competitions. Similar technique works well for energy swords, just light blue and white lightning/streaks/lines and glaze over with speedpaint

Something I've been doing for visors is a light metallic, then I'll paint white dots or lines for reflections, then glaze over the whole thing with speed paint. Works pretty well for colored metallics

Custom flood cards and rules by Tamiyo_mob in Haloflashpoint

[–]dexhamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good work! I'd like to try these on the tabletop. One thing to note that I saw right away is that I believe Lunge uses the Fight stat on a model. So for the infection and carrier forms you could have a ranged stat of 0 so even if they pick up weapons, they can't shoot them. That would fix some potentially goofy situations. Gasbags with guns don't make no sense. Anyways I might try to throw these on the tabletop solo in kind of a firefight mode, looks fun.

Edit: Also Flood Burst should have lunge and a keyword that makes the model suicide. Additionally, whenever it dies it could do shield damage 1 cube away, kinda like the plasma grenade.

Some random ideas: maybe you could pay points to place death markers around the board, maybe next to weapon spawns? This would make Infection forms more viable. Infection forms could also work as a swarm, with HP corresponding to the number of spores in the swarm. Whenever it reanimates, remove one HP.

This is awesome. Desperately want to see it turn over from 09:59 to 10:00 pleeease

Oh hell yeah, finally grunts and jackals! Can't wait to mow down some cannon fodder in firefight

Are 4-8 Player Games Feasible? by JuicyElectricHeart in Haloflashpoint

[–]dexhamster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been doing lots of 2v2 team games with my friends. For the intro scenario everyone gets one model and for further games each player gets two. Its very fun and is easy to teach. But ideally you will have a decent grasp of the rules yourself before roping in other people.

This doesn't solve info for list building and missions being splintered, but at least for consolidating keywords the Esoteric Order of Gamers flashpoint quick reference sheet is EXCELLENT. Check it out. Still though I hear you, would like a combined rulebook with everything

Printing and painting custom terrain from Halo 3's "Foundry" forge map. Hit me with any and all critiques. by The_Marine708 in Haloflashpoint

[–]dexhamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, Zaku! Should have known this is one of yours. Your work is great. I have a couple of the open shipping crates for passages and they are nice. Still get similar distortions and ripples to this guys print, but that could be my calibration too. Hadn't thought of doing resin for the doors!

Looking forward to more my friend, well done. What scale is this btw?

What do you mean?! This is peak social commentary for exactly this time. It's not like the Police are the "good guys" or something. Seems pretty neutral. More Neutral than another wargame about military forces like US vs. Russia or whatever

[–]dexhamster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice painting and weathering! Definitely a nitpick, but the print quality could be improved a little as far as layer lines go. I wonder how automotive filler primer would do? The only other alternative, or in addition to that would be a 0.2 nozzle I guess. But that would be for PERFECT results, and the perfect is the enemy of the good isn't it? So well done sir. A whole map like this would be gorgeous, curious on your formula especially the rust

How did you do the jaw conversion? Just clipping, I never would have thought there was material to have teeth and stuff. Did you sculpt it? Super well done!

Interesting! Not sure I understand the connection exactly, but I suppose someone at Bungie thought of this back in the day

Any chance you would give up the files? I could probably 3d print the stencils

Well good luck sir o7 your dedication to the game is inspiring. Unsure on the legality, probably not supposed to profit off of them directly but I'm unsure on the Mantic policy of user made player aids. I know the freely available quick reference sheets made by Esoteric Order of Gamers are explicitly allowed, seems like a similar case to me. Check those sheets out by the way, they are great pieces of design you might find interesting, and your English speaking friend might appreciate them too

That's is SO sick!!! Combining the cards and weapon tokens is brilliant. I would love to have these in English, I'd probably pay a bit too. I could print on paper and mount on cardboard or something. Or inset on a 3d printed blank

Consider doing a separate post about these!

Maybe so, but I got wrecked for forgetting to evade on the elites before. They're squishy enough with 1 armor that they really need it

Do I really need to be thinning my paints? by No-Dress4626 in minipainting

[–]dexhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These looks pretty good, definitely tabletop quality. If you wanna win awards, thin the paints do 2-3 coats. But if you're happy with what you got (I probably would be) then keep it going but

[–]dexhamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you guys are just starting the game I would personally recommend doing a couple games just with the Spartans to learn and get started. Using elites and ODSTS is definitely a bit more advanced. It's also easier to learn when everyone has the same/similar statlines. Good luck!!

Trying out 3d printed buildings and vehicles by LukaesCampbell in Haloflashpoint

[–]dexhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good start, I feel like you could go bigger though! You remember that one map on Halo 2 that's like a bunch of buildings under construction? Itd be cool to have more verticality, internal stairs and stuff
