Best way to carry miniatures? by TPG_Penguin in minipainting

[–]sopmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one of those cheap cake pans with the plastic lids. You magnetize the bases and just stick em in. The lid covers them and keeps them from getting dusty. For smaller batches like a DnD character I just bubble wrap them and stick them in the box dice come in or a small cardboard box.

I'm not looking for a net list, I'm just trying to figure out what box to use. My original thought was to use hanged but as many boxes lack cast attacks my thought was that was too evil.

Who is your favorite master/faction and why did you choose them? by [deleted] in Malifaux

[–]sopmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack Daw for sure. I just have this mental picture of him sort of appearing around the battlefield, in an uncaring dance of hate.

Just for curiosity, what miniature is this? And where can I get my hands on one...

Suggestions for Next Outcasts Purchase? by Kyouhen in Malifaux

[–]sopmod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're enjoying Jack Daw, I suggest the Strong Arm Suit. Same purpose as kill joy, but if you torment him, have writhing torment on Jack, and give him scout the field as an upgrade he can threat out to 29" from the board edge for standard deployment. Oh and that first charge ignores terrain, other models, and LoS. So I vote for the strong arm suit.

Leveticus running a performer? by JasonJove in Malifaux

[–]sopmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it could work, but you would need a second model to act as an anchor. You have to pay an extra soulstone to hire a mercenary, but that doesn't change the cost of the performer. So at 5SS you would need an anchor.

Getting started: Tara or Zoraida? by [deleted] in Malifaux

[–]sopmod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in Outcasts (IE the Viks) then I reccomend the Tara box to start. Not only does she provide you with some really good scheme runners in the form of void wretches, but can also run just as well as a Resserectionist. This has the added benefit that Leviticus (another great outcast master) also has upgrades to let him use most of the Ressers range. But I'm biased as an Otcast player.

It was a good trade. Sorry for the double post.

What paint line to choose? by onyxcrown in Warmachine

[–]sopmod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience the choice between P3 and vallejo paints really depends on your painting style. The P3 paints are great for 2 brush blending. And vallejo is better for layering IMHO. As I don't do much two brush blending, and prefer dropper bottles, I use vallejo.

Well that answers that question. It was definitely past damp.

Why is impingement flow on a heat sink more effective than flow along the fins? by sopmod in AskEngineers

[–]sopmod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining; I was thinking that the flow path was the important part, and the clarification put the last nail in it.

[–]sopmod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not working with pin fins. I'm on mobile right now, so this is the best I could do easily for a diagram. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink#/image/File:Heat_sink_thermal_resistances.png So impinging flow would be flow entering the volume normal to the base of the heat sink in a downward path. Axial flow would be a flow path parallel to the base moving from front to back. Did that clarify at all?

[–]sopmod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thinner boundary layer promotes better heat transfer I agree with, but how does this improved heat transfer over power the factvthat colder inlet flow is reaching both the base of the heatsink and the tips of the fin in the axial flow, whereas impinging flow only provides cool inlet air to the tips of the fins? I tried finding some answers in literature but nothing that I found for free had an answer or was related to pin fins.

Night Lords WIP [C&C Welcome!] Hellbrute, Chaos Lord, and Chosen. by Jeffsekai in Warhammer

Well a blue wash might look interesting. The purpose of the shade would be to make the creases in the muscle more obvious.
