    Last night in a moment of weakness I ordered my first 3D printer, an Ender 3 Pro.
    While I am waiting for it to arrive, does anyone have a recommendation for what sort of filaments I should get, and where to get them?

    I've been having some good success with Yoyi brand PLA.

    From what I've seen in the community, and with my own experience, the Prusa is a top notch printer and it is nice having the company that is on the cutting edge of the printing industry. That said, the Ender 3 is very solid and the price is hard to beat.

    I have an Ultimaker 2+ and and Ender 3 Pro.

    Yes, you do need permission to use another company's/group's logo.

    The reason is copyright infringement. It's a brand the club controls and paid money to have the artwork created. These are things you have to consider when dealing with 'internet' artwork.

    I would never make shirts I don't have permission for. But if Ordo wants some different styles for OFCC, they know where to find me. 🙂

    Hey everybody!

    I'm CaptainA, owner of TraderA, ex runner of Guardian Cup, mover to Boise, sometimes vendor at OFCC coming at you with my latest endeavor!

    My wife and I started www.t-shirtfam.com, a direct to garment printing business! We purchased a high quality machine that can print onto fabric. We specialize in t-shirts, hats, and hoodies.

    If you have a gaming club, team, or other low print run needs, feel free to check out our website or hit me up at contact@t-shirtfam.com. We can beat screen printing on color selection and low print runs.

    We also offer vendor programs where we have a store for you to sell your items in, much like cafe press or teespring, but with a personalized touch!

    Right now we are partnering with Goatboy of 40k art fame (if you've seen 40k art, then you've probably seen Goatoby) selling his shirts and items of art! https://www.t-shirtfam.com/product-category/goatboy/

    We also did a run of shirts for Mindtaker Miniatures @pretre can confirm.

    I'll get some pics up of shirts we have printed soon.

  9. 40K Book Play vs ITC Play

    in Warhammer 40,000

    Posted

    My personal sadness in this is that ITC=WAAC in the minds of many players. The definition of WAAC amongst most tournament players is Win at All Costs - they will cheat, obfusicate, be unclear, ask for takes backs and not give takes backs, etc etc. 

    I've played a ton of tournament games and i've played the majority of them against good people that were fun and lenient. Ive played some against jerks..

    I've also played a fair shair of pickup and OFCC games. The majority of them against good people that were fun and lenient. I've played some against jerks.

    It doesn't matter what system you play in, you will play against these kinds of people. Ive meet narrative fluffly players who were not enjoyable to play against and left a bad taste in my mouth and others that were great.

    The guy mentioned by pax above abusing rules and changing things just to win is a WAAC player, but most are not. I'd say the odds are the same both ways in my experience.

    I have to call this part out and disagree with it. We get rule changes multiple times a year in the form of a new version of the FAQ for the BRB, a new version of an FAQ for specific codex, and then to top it all off, Chapter Approved comes out every year. Then there are the Beta rules that everyone insists on playing even though they are beta rules. The very definition of "beta rules" means that they are not thoroughly tested and are not the final rules, yet most people play them that way.

    The constant changes to all of the rules is a big turn off for me.

    What I was referring to was that it is the ITC that is changing the rules. That is not the case. It is GW that is changing the rules.

  13. 40K Book Play vs ITC Play

    in Warhammer 40,000

    The funny thing is the ITC is The Book. The rules are the same, with only one minor terrain rule to help the damage output of armies in 40k. The missions are different and that is where you get the different feel of what is good and bad. Its the same as any comp system, in any comp system certain builds rise to the top as to what is the best in that comp system. There is a lot of talk about what is best and maximized, but people are always surprising the meta with armies that go agains the grain such as Thomas Oakey's Blood Angels that went 5-0 at Boise CUp. There is a big misnomer that ITC is still changing the rules, but since Frontline got closer to GW and GW got closer the the tournament system, they haven't needed to change rules for quite some time.

    Mary Poppins Returns - 2/10 No thanks. Went to appease the wife and wanted to die multiple times in viewing. By the end I was trying to keep my spirits up but knew I could only last 1 or 2 more songs. I was hoping the songs would end so I could get to the story parts, kinda opposite of what its intended to be. I have no plans to watch it again, even for the children. They can go to the other room and watch on a laptop with headphones...

    @paxmiles If someone is being rude and using the players packet against you, that is a violation in and of itself. The removing models is intended for the person owning the player to remove the models, not their oppoent. If you have say, a guardsmen being shot at by a full unit of whatever, you can take the model off without rolling saves. But if you feel you have a chance, you as the controlling player can ask for it to be rolled out.

    Sorry  you feel that way about the ITC. I personally enjoy the format and find you will find jerks in whatever format you  play in. I've played them in friendly settings and in tournament settings.

    Also it should be noted that if a player is abusing the code of conduct for their advantage, that is itself a violation. The idea of the code of conduct is to help players know how they should treat each others, like"Norms" for meetings, it is more for the people that are abusers of the game, and not for the everyday joe. But the everyday Joe can learn things from the document like playing faster and speaking their intention about rolls and such.

    The ITC adopts all beta rules immediately as a rule, I think they should be in effect here even though it doesnt effect me. Once a Beta rule is out, they are basically supposed to be in use. YMMV.

    This isn't really true. Each ITC event can do whatever they want, just need to have a winner of some sort. TO's don't need to use itc missions and can construct it pretty how they want. Now, many will do what FLG does for BAO, SoCal, and LVO, but that isn't the case in every situation as Nova, Adepticon, Renegade, and many more do their own thing and still classified as an ITC event. There is a min point cap at 1000 and scoring, but that is about it.
