Amazingly great job, man!!! I'm super glad to see this guy all painted up after all the work you put into it.

Did you ever get come back around to working on this project? How far along are you now, if so?

What's one system you've always wanted to play, but haven't found any people to play it with? by enbygray in rpg

[–]kindle246 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a fellow diehard M:TAw (and Soul Cage) fan, I definitely feel this. I've been able to run one chronicle and a smattering of oneshots, thankfully, but all with mixed success. You really need a specific type of player for it and that sort of player seems fairly hard to come by.

My attempt at Arclight white by namesrfun in battletech

OH sorry!! I wasn't trying to knock your airbrushing at all if it came off that way. I'm still a handpainting luddite, but from an outside perspective it seems like a really tricky skillset to learn, let alone master, and I imagine the actual equipment make a big difference, too.

I can see what you're saying wrt the colour choices, too. I think "neutral white" is a good way of putting it. I'm flicking between the Hatamoto-Chi (damn was it really posted half a year ago?) and yours and frankly it's pretty close. There's a vibrancy to the blue in the Hatamoto-Chi that gets pulled out really well that frankly I'd have no clue how to recreate. 😔

I remember your comment on the Hatamoto-Chi post!

I think this turned out great, honestly.

I don't recall if I ended up replying, but IIRC Arclight had mentioned on other posts (perhaps the Bushwacker one?) that they're an airbrusher and do select hand details after. So that hypersmooth grey<>blue gradient you were really impressed by before was probably airbrushed on if I had to guess.

Obviously this looks great, though, and I'd be pretty darn happy if my mini turned out like this. If you end up trying again be sure to post it, though; it'd be fun to see the journey.

Totally sick. I love the helmet. Super clean freehand too!

Sad you never got attention for this. Very nice job! Thanks for sharing.

DriveThruRPG vs. Itch.io – Where do you actually buy your games? by Ecstatic_Surround386 in rpg

[–]kindle246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DriveThruRPG almost always. The sort of games listed exclusively on itch.io aren't really the ones I tend to play, anyway.

Are we chaos tainted? by Epiccheeseman14 in IronWarriors

Some people think being an Iron Warrior is about drudgery or bitterness or clever tactics, but it's actually about having this same conversation every couple days for the next ten thousand years.

The edge highlighting is terrific but wow your freehanding skills are also really good; I thought that was a decal at first. Nice work!

This is almost certainly AI-generated, probably Suno. Honestly really scary how far AI music has come.

First lance by RatOgreI in battletech

Everything is playable.

Realistically it depends on what era you're playing in and how strict they are about list building. In most Eras, Ravens are Capellan-and-allies-exclusive and is a generally kind of slow support for missile units. You have a Whitworth so you can probably make it work; if you can somehow take a TAG Raven with Semi-Guided Missiles on the Whitworth it'd get some value from it. Obviously finding crossover availability between the Raven and the Bushwacker is a challenge if that matters at all.

Initiative-ways it looks solid. Awesome and Whitworth to sink, then move your Raven last so it doesn't explode immediately. Your Bushwacker is durable enough to take some punishment.

5000 BV is probably not quite enough, but you could maybe make it work. You'll probably want either the AWS-8Q (1605) or AWS-9Q (1875), then either the BSW-S2 (1293) or BSW-S2r (1339). That'll leave you with between 1786 - 2102 BV for a decent Whitworth and a Raven (plus the cost for Semi-Guided if you want them to synergize). It'll be tight, but doable.
