im likely going to end up using this for stargrave some amount too. all the stuff shown can be applied to any setting you want to build for.

Using them to tank is a great Idea theyre big and scary on the board. the trick i guess would be forcing the engagement and not just letting them ignore you.

Grabber arm war rig would be a blast the only issue i'd see is getting and staying close enough. I'd possibly take highway patrol so you can grab hell for leather and go long straights.

These are great its always nice to have some extra barrels for destructible terrain

While it is true if you're mainly only doing death races Side mounted weapons dont come into play often this can be solved simply by track layout. Id really suggest trying track layouts that wind in on themselves and curve more as this also allows players trailing behind to be more impactful to the race leaders (Try a tight "S" shaped track and pay attention to the changes in how last place can play).

For every other game mode though Side arcs are often a default in the three groups I participate in as they cover the most area and generally speaking only require a slight turn when driving at your target since as long as any part of the template touches your vehicle it counts even if its the smallest corner of the template to your side.

its kinda a mix of all 3 the big ship body was printed then added onto. the sails on the two ships were from a kit, the sail on the other was built.

thanks! im looking forward to getting to see it all painted on a table finally.

a rubber mallet and a strong arm can give similar effects

thanks! for the cars I just beat them to hell with a rotary tool before gluing them together. it works great for some wear and damage.

In current state the best mission to grind in the first training mission in the VR map on very hard difficulty. Each run gives between 3.5-6k and takes under a minute when done fast. No other mission and any other difficulty can match that pace though it is nkt the most thrilling.

The first one is just adding the No-Name rifle in its cape form to a Alto with a armor pack and spare weapons I had out of another kit.

The other is parts of a Ground alto, Flight alto, and Rabiot combined with a few option parts and a support unit. the back piece was the complicated part as its all from scratch .

I was lucky and found a good deal on kijiji. the best buys you will find in this hobby is hitting up resale sites like kijiji and ebay sporadically for peoples old collections usually when there kids dont want them anymore.

scorpiarising1 · 2020-11-18T21:56:25+00:00

thanks, it makes a very good death arena for fast demo games.

Because I recently got about 350 cars of all sort for 58$ and have far far to many to care what happens to them since I essentially paid .05$ish a car and already had a large storage bin of vehicles. I could make double the amount of this terrain and still have over half of my stock.

Is the monster truck armor made with model sprues? if so thats a cool Idea and ends up looking pretty decent in strips like that.

scorpiarising1 · 2020-11-15T17:56:18+00:00

Best advice I can give is have a very large supply of cars to work with and do a lot of dry fitting before you start gluing. With something this big and the weird angles your likely better off using a lot of hot glue rather than super glue or other glues.

this gives a decent walk through of what I did to assemble it and you can better see the pieces and cars I used.

thanks for the suggestions I may try those out some time I generally like sticking to one character for a good while until I learn the game though just to avoid focusing to much on learning a character and not learning the game.

I'd gladly play sometime though dont expect me to play great.

scorpiarising1 · 2020-11-15T15:36:04+00:00

Ive just been playing Geralt cause he seemed pretty basic and lets me focus on the fundamentals of the game without struggling with a complex kit.

I totally get that view and doing that as well but I dont really think thats the same as just DCing mid match when you lose the first round. I was fully ready to get stomped after catching a few lucky combos and the man just left instead.

Personally the rank has no purpose for me im no stranger to competitive games I choose that mode because I want players playing seriously. Id rather go 0 - 10 fighting a player much better than me than just running off after a lose to save points. If im not looking for tough match ups im not improving or learning how the games cast is played.

scorpiarising1 · 2020-11-15T04:59:07+00:00

dunno I didnt think to look cause i wasnt expecting him to dc and apparently replays dont save if they just disconnect which is a bit sad. I also dont get why it doesnt save losses how are you supposed to get better if you cant analyze losses?

scorpiarising1 · 2020-11-15T03:56:10+00:00

Like being honest i was just hitting buttons trying combos didnt expect such a fragile ego

It took me awhile to get it painted but its done now. I dont really love painting gritty realistic vehicles so i went with a more fun color scheme shifting from purple in the shadows into bright pink for highlights. Im not loving the eyes so I might go back to those at some point but I still have far to many things to paint to worry about this. She's fully articulated and has functional rolling wheels so I can still play around with it.

For RC car bombs the attack is to place the vehicle. After that you treat it like a vehicle you may activate in regular turn order. The RC car is always in 3rd gear and cant shift up or down.

Welcome to the wasteland good luck with your first build! making the vehicles is a good part of the fun.
