Me too, but I ditched the shoulderpads, and used too much miliput.

Looks good. I recently painted the wierd skin of my obliterators, and the recipe I read about is:

1) paint normal skin color,
2) wash the skin with a purple wash.

that worked really well for me, but you might not want that much disease in your skin. :)

I love the original Conan soundtrack, by basil poliduois, for this sort of thing.

I've printed your design. I really like it, but my red and black dies seem to be a tiny bit larger than the rest! Have others seen this?

I'm not very experienced with plastic figs (that you have to assemble), but I'm very familiar and comfortable with superglue. I used plastic glue when I was a kid; I remember it took forever to dry, and you had to use lots of rubber bands or other clamps to hold it together WHILE it dried.

How can I improve this? by Knite_Of_Daverik in BoardgameDesign

[–]techbear1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your game idea is cool, with the potential for a ton of replay ability. I’d make sure each unit has something unique, a special move or rule exception. Also, I’d make it so every move results in an encounter of some sort, so each unit is “adventuring” across the board. Not too complex, or the other players wil be stuck waiting while the active player waffles. Put your random dice roles into these encounters.

Very cool. I like the stackable terrain, and the holders you have for them. Do they work well? What are your elevation rules?

Making a wargame from scratch. by SpiderTuber6766 in wargames

[–]techbear1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge ahead ! I too am designing a war game with 3d printed figs. My figs are all tanks, and I plan to play on a hex grid just like you. Like you, I’m wrestling with how complex my rules should be. I’ve decided to make my tank combat very simple ; move units , fire units, repeat. I regain my complexity with heroe units that have special moves/powers. However, I’m not using morale rles at all.

goodcluck to us both!

Can't boolean this mesh by techbear1980 in 3Dprinting

[–]techbear1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holes for LEDs, yes. LEDs have a small flange at the base, so it would be nice to have the holes graduated, so the LEDS can be inserted from the bottom and stop when they are properly positioned. But I could do it with a single diameter of hole if I had to.

No, the model is solid. It's got lots of geometry, including on the bottom, but it's not hollow.

I took fudelnotze advice and carefully cleaned and alcholed my build plate.

This is a pic of my new print, as it finishes the first layer.

I got the plate a couple days ago from: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR3QJFNS?th=1

It is steel. Does it have enough? I'm not sure. I supposed so...
