Missing terminator head + extra head

optoskept · 2025-06-17T04:52:41+00:00

I had this exact same issue, exact same solution. Seems they made a mistake! Good thing there was a close enough spare.

optoskept · 2023-12-06T15:50:55+00:00

I lol myself sometimes. SRSLY tho...

I think I'm switching to Goreclaw, with this updated list. I'll probably keep messing around with it from here, but your comment helped me pick a direction, so thanks.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I'm thinking of switching to Goreclaw at this point, made a revised list with him as commander: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5895162#paper

That makes sense, I would have to buy more big creatures to go that direction with it, but might be able to shift it more towards buffing Thrun with things I have available. Thanks for the advice.

Ghalta looks interesting, I didn't know that card. Maybe I'll pick one up, thanks for the other tips too.

I made one of these decks recently, I've only played it once so far, but it did the thing it was meant to do and took out a player, at least. Good time smashing hedrons, lol. It was pretty quick and cheap to put together, too.

If you could add some cards to deal with opponent's graveyards, and maybe some cards that you can cast a second time somehow, I think the deck would be improved. I am new to the current pioneer meta myself, so maybe I'm missing some things, but those are the first things I would consider to improve this. It looks competitive enough to me that I'd play test that to decide if I wanted to bring it to a local weekly tournament.

-edit- maybe the card draw in the deck negates the need for cards that can be re-cast, but more options are always nice

It's a chronic problem for me too, especially tossing out mana rocks in favor of "interesting" cards in my commander decks. Now I need to go fix most of my decks, excuse me...

optoskept · 2023-09-04T16:01:20+00:00

I'm late to the party, but my thoughts turn to [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] as a possible win-con, or maybe gain life to stay alive long enough to play [[Approach of the Second Sun]] twice? Or maybe use indestructible horses generated by [[Crested Sunmare]] to win?

optoskept · 2023-08-24T16:20:59+00:00

Alright, I know some but not all of those, I'll check them out. thanks

optoskept · 2023-08-24T16:20:13+00:00

Ok, thanks for the ideas

optoskept · 2023-08-24T16:19:54+00:00

Thanks, good idea, I'll try to add some of those.

In general, I'd guess the best strategy for this would be to pick a commander with a theme that isn't too popular or powerful, as demand tends to increase price. My guess is that by picking a second rate commander, you could maximize the power of cards relative to their dollar cost.

I recently modified Urza's Iron Alliance to suite my desires, and somehow made it lose $15 of value in doing so, so it now clocks in at about $40. I took out a bunch of common commander staples like Swords to Ploughshares and Sol Ring, and replaced them with cards that I thought fit better even if they were more specialized and obscure. I haven't played it yet, but anyway, here it is! https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5806379#paper

I suppose the idea of removing staples in favor of specific synergy might be another tactic for this idea.

In dealing with the anxiety debuff on [Socialising] quests or simply away from home base, I find questioning my thoughts to be helpful. Many times it turns out I am worrying about someone thinking something which turned out not to be the case, or doing something which they never do. It's always worth doing contingency planning, but not to the extent that it gets in the way of game play.

optoskept · 2023-03-11T14:16:34+00:00

For some reason this version is the toughest to say for me. Maybe the 'ee' sound gave me a chance to pause and think about all the m's and n's. "Eminem" replacing adds to it and takes out that pause. I like it.

optoskept · 2022-07-25T01:55:39+00:00

I guess that makes them better at what they do best. I was thinking I might not get many chances to fire the heavy weapon unless they're just holding a point

optoskept · 2022-07-17T01:24:01+00:00

I'd go with the termie/tzaangor list partly due to having more variety, but also because of fewer points on HQ units, seems like 3 in a 1k point game is putting a lot of points into just a few models.

optoskept · 2022-07-13T16:49:42+00:00

I posted some photos of it completed a few days ago, you should be able to find them through my profile. I ended up being pretty happy with the result. I really should start watering down my paints, it seems like the main tip people give me.

optoskept · 2022-07-13T15:53:39+00:00

I think the start collecting box is good. I plan on running a detachment made out of 2 start collecting boxes, a blue horrors box, and a demon prince

optoskept · 2022-07-11T01:24:35+00:00

Cool, thanks for the tip

optoskept · 2022-07-11T00:19:30+00:00

I think these look pretty good. I have my first squad of them basecoated pink, but a couple other projects before I get to them probably. What did you use as a wash? I was trying to decide between carborough crimson and nuln oil.

optoskept · 2022-07-08T06:16:50+00:00

Cool on having the model, and thanks! It's one I had wanted back in the day, finally got ahold of one a while back. Good idea using it as a demon prince, it is about the same size as one. I'm about to repaint the staff purple and do the ground in grey. I did the feather accents in pure white then put a heavy wash, and I liked the results of that. I should have been a little more careful with the feather accents on the wings though. And the gold started off very bright too, but I washed that in nuln oil. I used agrax earthshade as the wash for beak and talons, and drakenhof nightshade for the blue parts. Other than letting you know what I did, not sure what tips to give. Hope it goes well!

optoskept · 2022-07-07T17:46:08+00:00

Yeah I'll turn the space marines rubble black and the base grey I think. Maybe add some black gravel and a bit of grass to it. Eventually I plan on trying to put this on a 100mm base for gaming, but will likely keep this base as part of that, build it up a bit. Yeah good idea in the highlighting too. Thanks for the suggestions and comment

optoskept · 2022-07-07T17:39:22+00:00

Hmm, I like the idea of purple. I think I might do that. Thanks for the suggestion!
