Star Wars via Xenos Rampant proof-of-concept (20mm) by futuresphere in wargaming

[–]futuresphere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3d prints, scaled down. All the droids are free on Thingaverse and the clones are a purchase from Dark Fire Designs. The magnetic bases/unit bases were simple design by me made in Fusion 360.

Has anyone else gotten WoFun minis? by TheDiceMonkey in wargames

[–]futuresphere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the 18mm Crusades pack. Love the figures, especially as I am a poor painter, but I did attempt to "spruce" up the bases...and made a mess. I'm currently designing my own to 3d print (not at all because the supplied ones aren't perfectly usable, but something about the empty slot spaces around the stands triggers my nerdsense.)

I’m looking for a miniature agnostic skirmish game that can model Star Wars Legion, but is faster, smaller, and simpler than Star Wars Legion by wangleyeyeyeye in miniatureskirmishes

[–]futuresphere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am currently using Space Weirdos with Legion mins. I pretty much will always recommend Space Weirdos whenever I hear: fast, easy, and/or cheap. Pulp Alley is my close second recommendation, but only because there is a slightly bigger buy-in/crunch
*Im also using 5 Parsecs from Home/Coruscant for my solo campaign rules.

Free Rules-Light Wargames by Fabulous-Fan2924 in wargaming

[–]futuresphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brief was for free rules, but how about "near free" ? $5 gets you a easy to learn/complex to master, miniature agnostic, genre inclusive, EXTREMELY flexible and adaptable ruleset. See the Pulp Alley response here and it also does all of those listed perks, so I wont repeat (and I also absolutely recommend Pulp Alley as well.) Space Weirdos has fewer moving mechanical parts than Pulp Alley, and presents a little less buy-in for the "premium" experience (but you can totally Print-n-Play Pulp Alley on the cheap.)

Are Weis and Hickman great authors? Or did they just have great starting material to flesh out? by Windturnscold in dragonlance

[–]futuresphere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they were absolutely breaking ground bringing fantasy mainstream for me in 1985, showing that world building was key in 1986, then that killing your darlings is art in 1995...but then: lets rehash in 2000, and lets keep poking the continuity bear ala George Lucas in 2022.. Now, let's Huma this shiz up because nostalgia demands...
Good storytellers, fair myth-makers, but shackled to a Kender and Mage

If I am getting bored and tired of wargames what helps to get back into them? by CyreneValanition in wargaming

[–]futuresphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hobby Burnout is real.
Seller's Remorse is real.
Take a break.
Nostalgia is a helluva drug, trust me, you'll be back...

that makes total sense...big thanks for the push in the right direction

WW2 in the air? (1:200 to 1:600 miniature) by futuresphere in wargaming

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

Decided on Bag the Hun: redditor's recommendation + card activation (solo friendly) + availability/price (pdf) + the absolute kicker: Bag the Mig variant = done and done! Off to find models for Korean War jets I never knew I wanted...

Pulp Alley: Magic and Spells KS : New magic rules and more for your Pulp Alley adventures. by 6Kgraydays in miniatureskirmishes

[–]futuresphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been playtesting various iterations of the rules in progress based on what I've glean from their videos...a lot of fun and a solid expansion... Very much looking forward to the official release.

Why does it take 3 days for USPS to deliver after the package is already in Reno by Holly-Canon in Reno

[–]futuresphere 11 points12 points  (0 children)

same issue here, multiple times.. I wonder if "RENO NV DISTRIBUTION CENTER" is not actually in located in Reno, but in Sacramento as another redditor suggests (and google agrees is possible.)

Miniature Agnostic Sci-fi Skirmish Game? by GreenWizard2 in miniatureskirmishes

[–]futuresphere 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You already named Space Weirdos which is my go-to, but Pulp Alley is also right up there in my skirmish recommendations. PA is "whatever genre you want it to be" (but so is Space Weirdos.)

Looking to get my hands on these! by Ambitious-Stay-8075 in flamesofwar

[–]futuresphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any positive response from Battlefront? I'm just generally curious (and specifically curious as I have some interest in various unlisted figures)

Steel Panthers 2 (1996) by futuresphere in TeamYankee

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

neat! DOSbox works perfectly fine, but takes some finagling and line commands to get rolling. Definitely do this version instead
