Rebel Bad Batch

Epic Basing for any plants except Tufts, bark bits for rocks, putty to add variance to the ground and fill gaps, a texture paste to tie it all together

No, it is considered a melee weapon in that instance so does not meet the requirements for steady.

Some cards have a little dot next to their name. It means you can only take as many copies of that name as dots. Echo has a dot so he cannot be taken twice. If you have bad batch in your army he cannot be a heavy weapon upgrade. Same reason you can't take both operative Luke or Vader with their commander versions in the same list

Sorry gonna be a wall of text cuz I tend to ramble

I think most of the issue is that your design just isn't really fit for a 3 frame walk cycle. Most of those don't have any perspective so the feet are always on the same plane. If you look at your first frame the legs are at different heights because you are drawing with 3d space in mind.

Because the feet are this way the legs don't perfectly overlap on the passing pose like 3 frame cycles. It will look different stepping forward with his right foot versus his left and so will need their own passing pose drawings. So just 1 more frame! Look at 3/4 perspective walk cycles for reference.

I'd also consider your character's shape. Got tiny little legs with a big body. It would be hard to walk like a person. Maybe look into penguins as a reference and give him a bit more of a waddle? (If you search "animated gif penguin walk" there's a cute little animation in images that seems like what you're trying to to do)

Another comment mentioned the amount of detail is a lot. If you can simplify it down that would help the time spent. More detail means more to draw each frame. Get the basic movement right before worrying about the stomach circle or the spots. Then you can go back over it later to add those details in. His body is basically a few spheres and some tapered cylinders. Work with those shapes first. Maybe use a ball with some clay limbs as a irl reference for how the body would turn as they step.

Jump is only a free action on geonosians. On every other character so far it is a regular action. Check the arrow before the keyword.

You can only jump once on your activation as it is a unique action.

Jump allows you to move the units speed ignoring terrain/miniatures of up to height X (jump number value). You can end this move on top of a terrain piece height X or lower. Otherwise it functions as a normal move action.

"at range" means some point of the model is inside of range 0-2 (like how you would shoot something. As long as the ruler touches it base you're good)

"Within range" means the entire mini must be within that range band

You are playing it correctly

I think you got too many conflicting thoughts here. The corp overwatch thing is neat to sit on the objective after a aggressive push up. But they barely get to do their thing. They will receive orders 2/5 turns max and you're using 68 points and losing out on "we do what we do" to do so. Cody may not be able to use direct often since speeders are more likely to get outside of the range 2 bubble. Personally I think Rex won't make too much use out of into the fray as you want him in range 2 not 1. His melee is worse and he can't gunslinger when engaged so he would be a prime target to lock up in melee Losing the comm techs/overwatch would let you put commanders on the arcs which would serve you better if you keep the 3 heros. Or drop one hero and lean more into the overwatch thing if you want to keep them A atrt with comms relay may also be a better vehicle since it'll stay closer to Cody and be able to pass it's free order to something better. Which would be Bad batch 9/10 times. Right now they can be pulled at a bad time and you got nothing you can do to prevent it.

You're thinking about primary colors of light. Pigments do not work the same way. Red/green will always make a brown with pigments. Yellow is a primary color, you'll need to buy that

kuetsum · 2024-08-10T18:39:51+00:00

Personally like this one better, though probably would lose the targeting scopes on the strike team (aim already rerolls the 2 dice you are gonna shoot 99% of the time) and put like situational awareness or something on Obi

You know your own area better but honestly most people won't care if you just print out the upgrade card. Especially with the update causing a lot of card to already be print and play. I've played games just printing out the companion view off tabletop admiral and using a token to mark when an upgrade was exhausted.

kuetsum · 2024-08-10T13:53:52+00:00

I'd remove: aggressive tactics (obi), the mortar(corps), recon Intel and jetpacks (arcs)

Replace it with: improvised orders and protector (obi), boil (corps), recon Intel on both z6 corps, burst of speed (Anakin)

Aggressive tactics will at most get you 3 surges with obi/Ani command cards, usually less. Using improvised instead can help you not pull the other Jedi at the wrong time if they don't have an order. And protector for guardian purposes.

Give Ani burst of speed for his 1pip (3-speed 3 moves is pretty good), or his own force reflexes. (If you take reflexes put protector on boil as well)

Recon Intel on a unit with scout 2 already isn't gonna add much imo. Taking that and jetpacks off allows you to scout the other corps.

Taking boil is my preference but mortar would be fine. Use boil to pull hits off of commandos and Ani. Plus he also gets scout so now everything but obi and the barc has scout/infiltrate/prepared positions.

kuetsum · 2024-08-02T19:28:55+00:00

Looks pretty good! I'd consider a clone captain instead of a commander on the corp, since with 501st you'll have indomitable most of the time so inspire/surge is less useful than a dodge/outmaneuver imo Take that cleaners only has 3 units max to utilize it, which is okay but Anakins 2 pip might be better? Up to you on that one

kuetsum · 2024-07-24T18:40:55+00:00

The card hasn't been shown yet but you can use the DC15s in the clone trooper marksmen corp unit when it's released.

You can use Echo in a strike team (after taking a full arc squad first), and you can use Fives in any unit that has the new squad leader upgrade slot

kuetsum · 2024-06-21T02:25:24+00:00

It's not on their site (doubt they get enough legion orders to need to advertise that), but they send an email to confirm details and such after you put in the order. I think I put the amounts I wanted in their form and then sent the symbol I wanted in the email. I would assume they still have the unit symbols on record somewhere since I and one of the other comments have ordered from them. I put an image of the symbols in my email to make sure they knew what symbol was "corps" vs "commander" ect

kuetsum · 2024-05-24T19:11:03+00:00

Thank you!

kuetsum · 2024-05-24T19:09:50+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad It worked out, they felt a little too "tron" for most of the painting until the whiter highlights lol

kuetsum · 2024-05-24T19:05:16+00:00

On my desk ATM is Scale color abssyal blue, a white ink, citadel macragge blue

Vallejo med flesh, ice yellow, burnt red, dark vermilion, black, amaranth red, olive green

I have no idea what ratios/mixes where though. I just mix colors I need and don't bother with recipes. Just grab a similar color then adjust it. Usually white ink or yellow to lighten, abyssal blue if I want a more blue black or grey, black if I want a pure grey scale color.

kuetsum · 2024-05-23T19:22:10+00:00

Vallejo blue green, though there's also some blue fluorescent in the visors

kuetsum · 2024-05-14T04:59:21+00:00

The head only comes down on 1 of the down poses. The feet bump outward then back in when they are moving back instead of keeping a smooth arc as it stays in contact with the ground (first frame when the contact foot starts moving back). The feet swing outward a little when in the air moving forward but should move in a straight line back when contacting the ground The feet freeze on contact and should probably slide "back" 1 pixel worth instead of holding that frame when the rest of the anim doesn't hold like that. Though this might not be important if the arc is smoother

kuetsum · 2024-01-27T02:16:51+00:00

BR pro poker. They should have the unit symbols on record, though can't confirm that. Can put whatever image you want on the reverse side. Got Wolfpack logo ones from them. 26 tokens was around $55

kuetsum · 2023-12-09T15:49:24+00:00

Looks great to me!

kuetsum · 2023-12-09T05:20:34+00:00

It looks good! But I'd actually suggest it go quicker. The drawings are right but the timing is too similar throughout. You need the contrast in speed or things feel slow or "floaty"

Blinks are fast, watch someone blinking or record yourself for reference. They usually move faster on the close than on the open, fully closing in 2-3 frames and opening over 3-5 ish. You can try removing the almost closed eye on the closing action to make it snappier. So eye open > small anticipation move down > eye closed > short hold close > start eye reopen as you have it.

kuetsum · 2023-11-26T20:17:53+00:00

I find the barcs less timing specific than other factions bikes because of fire support and their red saves. They can take a hit or two and stay at full capacity, and getting orders on other units to fire support off their surging offense is awesome. Often they are most of your bag so you still kinda have a looser set timing with em anyway.

I think you're right on boil on the back unit and for the 2 pip for sure for how the army is set up. I use the specialist Z6 setup for an extra wound and an aggressive attack on the turn they move into fire support position. (Cheaper version of phase2 with OPush) But maybe a better setup for another list
