    What's the reason for the change? I have a team that's pretty disappointed in this, especially after OFCC being gone for a few years.

    There are two fundamental questions regarding the changes for 40K this year:

    Why did we think a change was needed for the 40K event?

    • The 40K Team event saw a decline in participation over three years prior to the pandemic
    • Historically, the Team format is difficult to adapt to for new players and captains
    • In the 3 years since the last OFCC, we have seen a large number of new players to the game

    Why did we choose a 2v2 Doubles format?

    • We wanted to keep the causal nature of the 40K event for OFCC
    • Smaller points total per player is more approachable for a larger group of particpants
      • This format brings the per-person ticket cost down
      • Prepping a smaller army provides more flexibility with time management, budget, and choice
    • The doubles format provided a good mechanism for several scenarios
      • Veteran player aiding a novice through one of their first events
      • Partering with old friends and maximizing time spent with each other over the weekend
      • Solo player needing to find only a partner rather than three

    Rumor mill has it that there's no 40k team event this year?

    The rumor mill is correct in that there will not be the traditional 4 person 40K team event this year, but there will be 40K. The the organizers are finalizing the details for the 40K event now and we hope to have them out very soon. It will still have the casual approach as previous years, and our hope is that it will have very broad appeal for both new and returning OFCC players.

    Okay, the best way is to collect components to get the best deal.

    ebay is a great place if you know what to buy

    Starting with irons, I would look for a full set ~$250 and stick to name brands like Taylor Made, Calloway, Mizuno, etc.

    Here is great iron set at a very good price - https://www.ebay.com/itm/165014150830?hash=item266b9c1eae%3Ag%3A01EAAOSwNpdhFHlD&LH_BIN=1

    Driver is next, and I would look for ~$100 price range

    here are some good options - https://www.ebay.com/itm/174906449984 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/265275557827 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/185009770862 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/133856758595

    After that, you have some choices to make for the last $150:

    • wedges (gap, sand, lob)
    • fairway wood(s)
    • hybrid(s)
    • putter

    Just know that all of that for $150 will be a stretch, so it may be better to carry over some of the old clubs and upgrade over time.

    It would be good to get a sense of what "doesn't break the bank" means. There are pretty big differences between $100 and $500 when it comes to clubs.

    Also, are you looking for a full set or just new irons/woods/etc.?

  13. Rate the last series/season you saw (TV)

    Altered Carbon S2 - The sophomore slump is alive and well! - 6/10

    I knew based on how much I loved season 1, some level of disappointment was coming in season 2. That level was measurable, but not overbearing (like True Detectives.) I finished the season and found I had more complaints that praises. Without giving away anything, I will say that there was just too much effort made in looking back that looking forward.

    I am looking forward to see if season 3 brings redemption or death to this series.

    Based on @evil_bryan 's recommendation i tried using eSun PLA+ for a while.  I then switched back to Hatchbox PLA.  I'll be switching back to eSun PLA+

    Personal Observations:

    I won't be using anyone's black filament ever again. I have horrible nozzle clogging problems and adhesion issues.  I've tried many different temps, flow, settings etc and I hate it.  Nothing anyone will say here will get me to use it again.  I gave my 1/2 full spool away.  I know it's weird, but there it is.

    I don't know if it's the composition or the manufacturer but I get better consistency with the eSun PLA+ in Grey.

    I get horrible stringing with the Hatchbox PLA, again in grey, but even that's all over the place.  On one print it's fine, on a different one with the same settings I go fuzzy.  

    Hatchbox PLA white seems to be a bit more stable, but again it's not consistent.

    Conclusion:

    It's not an exhaustive test set, as I'm way more interested in printing for my hobby, rather than printing as my hobby.  I just want to find what works for me and stick with it.

    So, back to the eSun.

    Speculation:

    Would clear PLA+ be even more consistent? Less additives?

     

    @scottshoemaker Another PLA+ that I have had great success with is SUNLU PLA+

    It also has the advantage of selling in 2 packs for ~$15 per spool - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDJRBJT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

  16. Can anyone recommend an airbrush for a newb?

    in Artificier's Forge

    Posted

    The reason I recommend the 105 over others (of which I have 6-7) is due to how much abuse it will take and continue to function.

    I baby many of my other brushes, but just beat that 105 to death. It is more tolerant to heavy use, poor cleaning, and paint variety than anything else I have used.

    Just make sure if you buy the 105, you do NOT get the 105 Extreme. Although the extreme has a nicer trigger (which you can buy separately and install in your 105), the MAC valve at the bottom of that brush sucks! It is loose, it leaks, and it is prone to falling out...and the airbrush will not operate without it.

    I really liked this years missions TBH. The secondary points tho could have been a little different, they were kinda just win better for the most part.

    I do really like when there is a legitimate way to win by denial of primary and getting a few secondary but that requires allot of play testing. OFCC isn't super balanced missions it is some crazy fun with just a little bit of score keeping!

    Yeah, my secondary objectives need some help. 🙂 I have thought about going back and reworking last year's and this year's missions with regards to scoring.
