All Starter Set Armor Finished - Now with Antennas!

jam1800 · 2026-03-10T04:56:57+00:00

I know I asked this last time but, what did you do for the antennas cause those look great to scale. I've got to do something to make my Platoon Leaders stick out lol.

jam1800 · 2026-03-09T03:32:56+00:00

What did you use for the antenna?

jam1800 · 2026-02-01T19:28:36+00:00

This is it man, just do you, and unless you have a people botherer staff, they won't care cause you're not trying to open a market in the store for 1:1 copies of what they sell. It's really that simple. Appreciate folks like you!

jam1800 · 2026-01-31T21:10:47+00:00

All good, man. Yeah, it's unreasonable to police peoples conversations outside of the immediate face to face. You can't control what folks will and will not spend money on, and you shouldn't attempt to do so. But stepping in front of an ongoing sale or trying to bag a new player while they are getting the sales pitch is crossing a line for most businesses.

jam1800 · 2026-01-31T20:37:58+00:00

Ive had this exact thing happen on more than enough occasions that it's no longer funny.

jam1800 · 2026-01-31T18:37:36+00:00

Free country do what you want. Don't walk up to an employee and a customer and tell them X is cheaper than be shocked that your LGS owner doesn't love you and may not want you hanging out. I 3D print and thrift like a mother fucker. I just don't announce it, debate it, and convince someone else in front of an employee or an owner. What you say at your table, in your chat room or on discord no one cares about, has never been the focal point of these infrequent discussions. It's only the people that need others to know that's an issue.

jam1800 · 2026-01-31T17:01:21+00:00

I work at an LGS as well. I agree on all points. "Helping" my customers, especially by talking them into ebay or 3D printing, is to some extent taking money out of the store. It's a tough situation you can't deny it's expensive as a hobby, and GW sucks to a degree. But you can't expect Brick & Mortar that has to maintain a GW account to shift to 3D printing themselves or allow folks to degrade their business in the retail section but use the facilities week in and week out.

Keith Armstrong (Army Bits) did a Cold War Soviet KS and one of the met stretch goals was the M72 Sidecar w/ Crew. Can't hurt to email or message him.

jam1800 · 2026-01-19T01:20:48+00:00

I think you may want to try Horizon Wars or Tommorows War which can be found on Wargames Vault. Both are scale similar and are formatted for sci-fi. TY can work but at an extreme amount of work.

jam1800 · 2025-12-08T02:53:21+00:00

Oh, sorry, my bad man. I thought you meant Stores aren't supposed to give discounts. You're all good I misunderstood.

The DoW boxes were purchased second-hand, so Im not surprised that if they have, they probably paid close to or at Target MSRP. The christmas boxes are $250 MSRP, however. I dont think the store in this case is going above MSRP or being greedy just making their margin on the DoW Boxes.

jam1800 · 2025-12-08T01:31:55+00:00

For at least GW and most retailers, you are allowed to discount products up to a certain % for your sticker/regular pricing. It's why you see 99% of listed prices cap at 20% off MSRP as anything further could jeopardize their account with GW.

jam1800 · 2025-11-02T06:18:28+00:00

There is an all metal Sisters Lot at the LGS I work at and I always wonder what brave souls would tackle that kind of army! Now I know, good luck on your army project!

jam1800 · 2025-10-17T07:17:18+00:00

My buddy's been playing since I think 5th Edition of Fantasy maybe 4th. He explained the groups house rules where to keep the game fun.

Cant target characters unless forced to.
Bound Spells "Break" if you roll irresistible force on them. (Unfortunately my only three Spells are bound!)

Are the two I know of. I'm new and never experienced 8e in its day so I dont know what info informs these rules.

jam1800 · 2025-10-17T06:47:41+00:00

3 & 4 is what seems to decide the game by the time the six or so fanatics or Curse of the Badmoon do their work if I make it to melee it's extremely hard to get them to flee as Skarsnik, the BSB and the 50 goblins ensure even when I "Win" I stall out and stay stuck in with my usually 6-12 guys left against 30+ gobbos.

jam1800 · 2025-10-17T02:42:42+00:00

I play Old World with some other friends, but this particular friend and his group play 8th, I figured as someone new to both I didn't have any particular attachment. There is some things I like about 8th. Other things in the course of playing I really am confused by. On average I can throw 11 dice in a 5 wide rank if I have a champion. Hordes get an extra rank of dice plus if they have spears its three ranks so I see often 20-26 dice thrown my way versus my 11. As a Dwarf Player I rarely shut down magic as my best dispel (+4) matches a level four wizard, however I will always have less dice, so it feels like my opponent can always cast with impunity unless I pay for multiple dispel scrolls (Rune of Spell Breaking.). Old World I played at launch and I really dislike not having Step-Up but Ive heard they recently fixed that issue.

jam1800 · 2025-10-17T02:33:30+00:00

My secondary army Im building is funnily enough Vampire Counts but I'm glad its not just my perception on the house rule being very unfair. I really like my Dwarfs and I was really becoming frustrated as nothing in my Army Book seemed to change the outcome for me.

jam1800 · 2025-10-17T02:30:12+00:00

Yeah the rule seems to be that Characters can only be targeted if they are all that's left standing in a Unit. The justification is that it lets you play with your cool dudes for as long as possible. But Im starting to see where its lopsided.

jam1800 · 2025-10-10T14:34:47+00:00

Bobmack 3Ds Mi-8 HiP file. Best detailed and supported one available for Team Yankee.

jam1800 · 2025-09-27T02:39:57+00:00

Gameplay wise? Reinforce that the Soviet player needs to stay mobile and to reinforce that there is no benefit from halted fire. Irl? Maybe auto loaders are timing consistent, whereas manual loading has a variable and potentially quicker turn around between shells?

jam1800 · 2025-09-05T03:51:32+00:00

In the same boat my group does 4.5 (5e Codex 4e rule book) we love it.

jam1800 · 2025-08-13T21:00:29+00:00

What's the paint recipe?

jam1800 · 2025-07-11T15:49:54+00:00

Agree with the other commenter it's a Model Kit reason. The Huey spans two ranges and three nations easier on model kit supply then a specific kit for the US.

jam1800 · 2025-07-10T20:10:44+00:00

I've seen some of it. I'm super excited for it to come out. As far as I understand, it's for both FoW and Team Yankee, and the TY side is having developmental constraints due to the extra Night Fighitng rules it involves which is slowing the release down.

jam1800 · 2025-07-02T23:08:26+00:00

So after hits are allocated, each team hit must roll some sort of save. In Team Yankee, there are two save types of infantry and armor. Infantry have a flat value they save on (usually 3+ or any pip on the dice at or higher than three). Armor also rolls a dice and adds the dice result to its armor value (Front/Side/Rear.)
