humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 12:13 AM

#

Oh neat

#

I’ve never been super jazzed about Army Painter (they’ve seemed like Valejo but not as good in my experience), but this is cool

#

Especially since Army Painter seems more common at games stores

languid jay May 3, 2025, 12:15 AM

#

I give props to AP for being willing to listen to feedback and improve their formula.

#

I also like their washes.

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 12:16 AM

#

Yeah, they do seem to be definitely working to improve their range

#

I just had a meh experience using some of their paint previously, but that may not be reflective of their current quality

languid jay May 3, 2025, 12:18 AM

#

I haven't given the updated line a try but people are positive, especially the reformulated speedpaint.

cobalt summit May 3, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

Updated line honestly is becoming my new favorite

#

there's a scant few colors that don't mix well but it's all at least decent, they have a huge range and they're also generally more saturated/versatile than GW paints

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 1:44 AM

#

Yeah, I have a couple GW paints.

#

I hate the pots

#

I hate them

#

I just do not care for the application.

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 1:50 AM

#

Yeah, I used to be okay with them, but then I got a wet palette and droppers were incredible

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

Yep

#

It's why I ordered a bunch of them on Wednesday.

#

When they get here I'm gonna empty the pots and put them in there.

languid jay May 3, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

PRO TIP: the labels on GW pots come off pretty easy and can be applied to your brand new dropper bottles.

apparently the German kit is also A+ for Sons of Horus

I could see the color overlap on that

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 5:42 AM

#

Huh

#

I can see that too

#

Definitely might see Krieger and Steel Legion players buy the German kit.

#

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 5:48 AM

#

It’s almost like 40k was inspired by a lot of historical armies (and even written by guys who played historical wargames) 🤔

#

It is fun how the guy known for being the biggest historical wargamer ended up being the guy who wrote the most “historical” 40k thing, 30k

lime haven May 3, 2025, 5:51 AM

#

I think that a lot of the crunchier wargames get a lot more fun when you start to look at them as history reenactment, regardless of whether that history happened.

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 5:54 AM

#

Absolutely!

#

They can also be a good teaching tool, if you combine it with A) a ruleset that doesn’t jerk off one army or another (cough many wwii gamescough) and B) have sometime to actually be explaining with it, such as a specific battle, the era, the stuff being used, ideas of command decisions, etc

#

There’s a historical wargames channel I’ve enjoyed, Little Wars TV, that tries to actually include historical background or a specific thing they’re considering in the game (like an alternate command decision, ways of playing with the command format like asking people away from the board to make overall decisions based on text reports, etc)

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

I like watching them

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 5:59 AM

#

Once they had a whole Punic War campaign where they had patrons vote in the “senate” on who should be leader each turn

#

Historicals are cool

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 5:59 AM

#

They are

#

Because they offer so much kitbashing stuff.

#

Ya wanna make some tunrip boi's???

#

Get some Napolenic boi's and some knight boi's.

#

Go snip-snip with the cutters to take off the pointy helmets and put them on the coats.

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:01 AM

#

And they’re often (or were, we’ll see 😬) pretty cheap, especially at smaller scales

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 6:02 AM

#

_.>

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:02 AM

#

And small scales are where historicals often really shine

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 6:02 AM

#

Oh yeah, those tarfs are gonna make the stores barf.

#

I hope they don't kill the only local LGSes in my county.

#

They are the only two here

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:03 AM

#

Yeah…

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 6:03 AM

#

I think the first one might be okay because they have a lot of traffic. And they also have a discord server.

#

So, yeah, there's that. Oh, and they sell comics too. Store is split in half between the Gunpla and BT side with the Comics and Manga side.

#

The other store. Yeah, I don't know if they'll make it. Not a lot of traffic.

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:11 AM

#

The only downside of historicals is you kinda need to have two armies because you kinda need to do the “hey, you wanna try something different than 40k/infinity/whatever? You can be the British and I can be the French, give it a try!” to get people interested

#

But again, especially at 6mm/10mm/15mm those entry prices can be pretty reasonable

#

Especially when you account for 3D printing, then it’s even easier to get people in just ask em to give you some cash in exchange for a whole army

weak hornet May 3, 2025, 6:13 AM

#

Yeah.

#

Be funny if there's a 3mm game somewhere

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:16 AM

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:18 AM

True

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:21 AM

Also, to put stuff back on topic, 6/10mm stuff means less overall detail to paint

#

Cold war?

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

Probably, but it’s playable basically from WWI to now

#

But Cold War seems to be its bread and butter

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:37 AM

#

i've thought about getting into historicals in the past

#

but honestly the main barrier for me is that almost all of the most popular post-1800s time periods and rulesets and models will involve me having to lovingly purchase, craft, and assemble The Racist Army

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:43 AM

#

I regret to inform you basically all of the pre-1800s armies were that

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:45 AM

#

okay, true, The Extra Racist Army

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:46 AM

#

But more seriously if you’re not into historical wargaming that’s okay

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:48 AM

#

it does vaguely interest me, but again, if i engage with any ruleset from either of the most popular timeframes (world war 2, american civil war) it'll put a regiment of painstakingly painted and detailed nazis / confederates on my shelf, hitting cool action poses

#

and that feels gross

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:49 AM

#

Well, first off you don’t have to play the nazis in any WWII system

#

And also Napoleonic are overall more popular than ACW

#

For that general time period I mean

#

But again, if you don’t feel comfortable playing historicals, that’s fine too

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

if i were to get into it, it'd need to be a setting further back

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

I mean, I would say for gunpowder stuff Napoleonic are pretty neat

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:56 AM

#

possibly even pre-napoleonic

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:57 AM

#

But if you want more melee focus you could do ancients

#

Like Greeks/persians/etc

#

Rome and Gaul and Egypt for a little forward of that

#

Well, Egypt spans a lot of stuff

#

There’s also naval games, which can be real fun

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:58 AM

#

as something to pitch to my local group, grounding it in somewhat obscure british history sounds promising, lots to work with there

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:58 AM

#

Either age of sail or battleships

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 8:59 AM

#

the heptarchy, the norman invasion, the war of the roses, the (other) civil war

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 8:59 AM

#

For British stuff, age of sail is always a big winner

#

Or yeah there’s medieval stuff too

#

Some Renaissance pike and shot stuff too

#

Like my history focus professionally I’m more interested in stuff 1800s+ myself so I couldn’t exactly recommend specific rulesets, and there also a bajillion of em ranging from big “professional” stuff to “passion project by a guy for his game group that he also decided to publish”

#

Basically history is big and full of military history, so you got a lot of wargame choices

#

The one snag is finding people (or bullying/persuading people into being) who are into the same ones you are

gleaming shore May 3, 2025, 9:02 AM

what's the deal with SAGA? it seems big and well-supported and accessible but skimming the ad read makes it sound much more in the post-warhammer tradition than anything

Honestly, not aware of it

humble stirrup May 3, 2025, 9:11 AM

#

gleaming shore the heptarchy, the norman invasion, the war of the roses, the (other) civil war

For something sorta like what SAGA seems to be, there’s the free skirmish game Ravenfeast. It’s meant for kinda Viking stuff, but the creators also have a modifier to play the series of battles leading up to the Battle of Hastings, since you mentioned the Norman Invasion

#

I’ve not played it myself, but I’ve watched people play it and it seems pretty good for a simple game (and it’s free)

#

Also oh no, I forgot this was miniature painting not the wargaming thread

cobalt summit May 3, 2025, 2:26 PM

Has anybody here messed with making their own transfers? I’m kinda thinking about DIYing some mini-scale posters and flyers and whatnot

languid jay May 3, 2025, 3:15 PM

#

Well, there's transfer sheets you can buy to print your own and I'm sure there's plenty of fan-made templates.

#

If you're doing actual like, posters you can print out ones and just glue them on. Mod podge works best for that.

#

the limbs have little square nubs and holes which do not help in the slightest for assembly, and the glue seemed to just squeeze right out of the interface and bind together nothing at all

languid jay May 23, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

Make sure the model has been scrubbed with warm soapy water; sometimes there's residue left over either from the mold release or the printing process.
Super glue only! That's obvious but worth repeating.
Baking soda is a very handy trick to use sometimes. Apply super glue, press parts together, sprinkle with baking soda; it'll bind it near-instantly and be rock-hard within a few minutes. Can easily be sanded.
If you have to, pin that shit.

Definitely sounds like either mold release left over or that you were using plastic glue instead of super glue.

One other thing that really helps, beyond what Slimnoid said is scoring contact areas with a hobby knife to increase surface area. It'll help the super glue hold more strongly.

I most have metal minis as an infinity player, but I've stripped several plastics with no adverse effects, though I am careful to not leave plastic minis in there more than an hour or two just in case. I've left bases and things in there for days and they're fine but usually not the same plastic

really dialing these in

humble stirrup May 31, 2025, 1:52 AM

#

So, I printed up about a squad of Marines (not an actual squad as is laid out in marine order of battle, any marines I’m deeply sorry and will say nice things about Chesty Puller if you agree not to get mad) and a squad (again, sorta) of PLANMC dudes as well as a mortar team, MMGs, and drone for each using the designer of Down Range’s model designs. Standard Reference Tin of Shokakola included for scale.
I kinda enjoy the hotdog people look of the models at the smaller scale, since they’re more representational than hyper detailed, which would likely make it easier to get people interested in trying the game if the models are very simple to paint and print.

#

Also, @full hinge, I know we talked about what scale the system is for, and based on the default model size being 18mm tall and 15mm at approximate eyeline, it seems it’s definitely meant to be 15mm

full hinge May 31, 2025, 1:54 AM

#

oh yep definitely

humble stirrup May 31, 2025, 1:56 AM

#

Only issue with the models is the barrels can potentially snap based on how the support struts are clipped off (ask me how I know) and the plate carriers have a bit of an empty gap between them and the body, meaning they can potentially chip

#

Also I had a fucked up print on the PLANMC MMG, but I’m gonna put that down to some kind of printer fuckup rather than the STL, having only printed one of them so far

#

It’s still usable, just weird looking

humble stirrup May 31, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

Also, question for the painting community: I’m gonna be painting up the minis I posted above, and while I have a general paint scheme for MARPAT from another project I worked on, I’m wondering what I should do with the PLANMC guys

#

Since they currently use a weird-ass blue digital camo, but are transitioning to yet another knockoff of multicam along with the rest of the PLA in the very near future. Basically just wondering what’s y’all thoughts on which I should do

manic raven May 31, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

Well, I guess there's two questions there. Are you trying to depict a certain time period? And which one do you like better?

ornate tendon May 31, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

Honestly the sculpts are so abstract that I’d go for solid colors that approximate the patterns

#

ie. tan for desert MARPAT with coyote flak and kevlar, versus blue for PLAN type 07 with green kit

humble stirrup May 31, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

Nah, you can do a general approximation on stuff like this fine, I’ve done it before

#

You’re not doing it down to the actual pattern with teeny tiny pixilation, just stripes or stippling

humble stirrup May 31, 2025, 4:26 AM

#

manic raven Well, I guess there's two questions there. Are you trying to depict a certain ti...

Generally since it’s for an ultramodern game, I’d say I’d be interested in semi-future proofing it, but also the oceanic camo is rather odd and inexplicable enough that it’s kinda fun

#

However they’re also phasing out the QBZ-95 bullpup for a more traditional AR-ergonomics rifle, so I guess the models using the QBZ-95 already kinda-sorta dates them to this era

#

Having thought on this by talking it through, I’m probably gonna go for the Type 07 camo

#

Which means I now need to figure out an approximation of its colors

#

I’m also very surprised that some mild googling hasn’t turned up anyone who seems to have tried to paint Type 07 Naval, which isn’t great since I’m not very good at figuring out paint schemes

And again don’t feel like you need to do everything at once, you can work on just getting everyone base coated and then work form there

#

The one big thing is to be aware of how thick you’re putting the paint on and not overdo it, it’s better to do something in a few coats than all at once

languid jay Jun 14, 2025, 12:38 PM

#

Epic isn't supported officially by GW but fans have kept that light goin' for years.

#

The one that gets the most support and most activity is Net Epic, which is a continuation of the 4e/Armageddon ruleset (the last set of rules from GW). It's a relatively cleaned-up set of rules compared to 2e. 2e is much more detail-oriented and has just, a bunch of flow charts and "crunch" to it that has a certain feel to it--a lot more models and armies have distinct flavors, but it's a more complicated ruleset that takes longer to play.

It's community maintained still, but Epic: Armageddon came out in 2003. That said these are actually Legions Imperialis releases so the minis are current.

manic raven Jun 14, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

The only thing that's kind of rough right now is Legions is 8mm and most Epic files (and old minis) are 6mm. On bases for infantry you can't really tell on the table but with vehicles and titans you definitely can.

#

My group has decided to adopt the 8mm scale complete and just scale up print stuff that's not in production

As a little follow up, Legions is very based in Epic 2nd edition, which we didn't get into for the aforementioned reasons. The consensus for my group is that Armageddon hits a sweet spot in terms of detail, the blast markers do morale better than most games, and because of the size and smoothness it captures the fantasy of the Warhammer setting much better than what any of us got out of mainline 40k or other GW games.

What exactly do you mean with "there's no infill because of how it works"?

#

Because while there's usually no infill in the traditional filament way, it's pretty common to hollow out larger resin models and put a little hole or two in the bottom to drain them. That can save you a fair bit of resin and weight, and works quite well.

Auuuuggghhh the Bradley print came out overall okay except for some of the most absurd amount of extraneous supports I’ve ever seen, I’m really gonna have to see if either flipping what side it prints on or just going in there and seeing if I can make it not go into “about as much supports as model” mode

It seemed mostly fine other than that, but goddamn I spent about 4 hours trying to clip and cut those things off, I’m pretty sure they dulled the blades

I'm assuming your using a filament printer? Might want to check your settings, I had problems like that before I made some changes now it auto-places a lot less extraneous supports

humble stirrup Jun 20, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

Yeah, they have a resin one too but I’m trying to see if I can get good results from the filament as it’s cheaper

manic raven Jun 20, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

Some of the newer filament printers give really solid results. I got a Bambu A1 mini recently that rivals my resin printer at times. The biggest issue is the shape of the model to be printed, FDM printer supports are still terrible in my experience. A little better than they used to be but still painful and detail ruining.

tawny glen Jun 21, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

you can do resin to fdm supports that are pretty good but honestly my biggest recommendation is to cut the model into easier to print parts that use no or little supports and just glue the part together

#

for bigger prints like tanks and stuff i get really get results that are comparable to resin with a little bit of sanding and some automotive filler primer

In my case one of the big the issue was it did a line of supports over the goddamn road wheels of the tank, like a whole layer right in front of them

regal inlet Jun 26, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

humble stirrup Jun 26, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

Also realized I forgot to show what the Bradley I printed looked like, it was overall a pretty good result, it’s just the road wheels got kinda mauled by having to chip away a layer of supports right in front of and behind them (and was also a really miserable time getting all the supports off, took several hours in all)

#

#

From a few feet away it looks quite good, I just hope the next one is less of a pain to get the supports off

#

Hey, would potentially having the hull be printed upside down help with it being less crazy supports do you think?

#

Also, sorry for putting a bunch of printing stuff in the painting channel, I’m not quite sure where else to put it sweating

tawny glen Jun 26, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

if you want to make the supports easier to remove id suggest changing the top z distance so their easier to pry off and use tree supports if your not already doing so. If you think theres too many supports you can change the autosupport angle so it doesnt try to support such shallow angles or you can manually place supports in the places their actually needed. I dont think flipping it upside down would be a good idea since it looks like your printing it all in one piece so that top of that turret will get mulched by the supports but you could try placing its ass end on the plate and printing it vertically. Honestly tho you should probably just cut the print up and print it multiple parts

This is what I use for 99% of the things I work on. Resin and metals get gorilla glue.

regal inlet Jul 2, 2025, 9:19 AM

Oh so regular plastic glue (like Tamiya) just outright won't work on certain types of plastic (like older star wars legion minis), resin and metal.

swift tangle Jul 2, 2025, 9:20 AM

#

Ahh

regal inlet Jul 2, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

Yeah. The very short version is that the acetone in glue for plastic melts the plastic slightly so they can "weld" together.

Meanwhile superglues undergo a catalytic reaction where the cyanoacrylate becomes a hard acrylate material. (The white/clear substance left behind when it dries)

Because the cyanoacrylate isn't welding stuff together, rather simply adding an extra bit of material it can be used on a much wider range of materials.

swift tangle Jul 2, 2025, 9:26 AM

#

Yeah ok this stuff has been doing both

Ahhh the tulip 3 inch rocket launcher

A pretty fun one. Also another random fact. 17pdr smoke shells used a lot of white phos

classic Blue Angels color combo pops like crazy

lunar axle Jul 6, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

That has the vibe of a G1 transformer so far, which is a good thing in many ways.

#

A way to make it feel a little more to scale rather than just a tiny plastic robot is to add details that break up the monocoloured surfaces. Things like joints, vents, thrusters, or even tiny warning labels. The painted equivalent of a banana for scale.

#

Here's the first BT mini I painted when I started out, it has things like the joints done in a different colour to break up that monotony and make it feel a little more real.

humble stirrup Jul 6, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

That looks nice, yeah

#

Good to break up the look a bit to give it some texture

weak hornet Jul 6, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

That does look pretty

lunar axle Jul 6, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

Thanks. It's not perfect, but mechs work differently than organic minis. Not that I'm an expert at those either.
