Sgt. Rock

Kusanagi is definitely beautiful. I really, really want to like that Monstrucker, but I am so goddamn sick of models with one leg on some kind of crap that makes it impossible to properly base the damn model.

I suppose that's true. When we move (soon!) they'll all be in one room, except the beardie, who lives in the living room (we free-roam her during the summer; she likes to wander around and sit in sunbeams and the windowsill and things like that.)

Okay, yeah, you're way out of our league. You're breeding, and you obviously have a much larger home than we do. There's no way we could even find time to take care of that many guys. Though we've always wanted a gargoyle, they're so pretty.

So basically, an official version of the TAG deathmatch everyone has been playing for years anyway. Probably. Although I find it interesting that the quote they took was from Voronin... Ariadna TAG?

Ugh. If only my printer weren't as jacked up as my arm, I'd try to take you up on that. I'm working on gathering terrain to play Sellswords & Spellslingers at 15mm, and I'd love to be able to make some new stuff.

Each in their own. We had a couple of the viper geckos together at one point, but they started getting sassy with each other, so we had to separate them. Most reptiles don't live well with each other, so they tend to all get their own little apartments.

Yeah, we normally go to the one at the hotel up by the airport twice a year, but the 'rona has put the kibosh on that the last few times.

What reptiles, he asks... okay... *Deep inhale* A bearded dragon, two crested geckos, two leopard geckos, a Bauer's chameleon gecko, three viper geckos, and a corn snake. We... may have a problem.

Yay! My children receive respect from the fish-folk!

I have aquariums! They don't have fish in them, though. Or water. Or... really anything to do with this thread, because reptiles live in them. But I wanted to feel included, so I'm piping up to derail the thread. ... AWAY! *whoosh*

Good to know. I assembled one of the ten dudes already with a flayer, so I'll definitely have to bulk that squad up to 20, but I'll put reapers on the other squad I build. I'm probably going to get two full squads of Warriors and one of Immortals and call it for a while (I don't necessarily intend for this to be a big-time collection.)

My friend's RPG that he's making went live on Kickstarter! Looks like a fun alternate take on the history of the Americas.

Might could do that at some point. I'm getting ready to move house soon, so it's going to stay inert until after that's done and dusted.

I use Cura. I've tried MatterControl, but I didn't like it very much.

I have a glass plate. I've tried hairspray, I've tried glue stick, I've tried just bare. I have a build-tak plate, as well, which usually produces better results, but when a print fails, it's impossible to get the damn thing clean, and then I have to pitch it and go back to the glass plate again. Even with brand new filament, it does this. Sometimes I have to re-dry my filament if it's been sitting there for a while, but I just have had so much trouble with it. Honestly, bed adhesion is my number one problem. Nothing else seems to be giving me trouble, just that.

Just one thing after another. Bad bed adhesion, parts breaking down, bad filament, just everything seems to go wrong. I've poured good money after bad into the thing, and I'm considering just cutting my losses, selling it, and getting a resin machine. I hate to consider that, because it was a birthday gift from my partner, but I never seem to be able to get the damn thing working right. Every time I think I have it dialed in, something goes wrong and I have to walk away for a while to keep myself from getting pissed off. I think that might be part of it. I'm not a very technically adept person, so these things are often beyond me. I've tried to learn, but it's tough when I have so much other stuff going on in life to be able to sit down and take a course or two in electronics and mechanical engineering when I just want to print some terrain and stuff.

I usually stick with Hatchbox, either grey or black. The biggest obstacle I constantly run into is bed adhesion. I level, I re-level, I do everything I can think of and that other people can think of, but anything more than a few small prints (like, less than 2-3" square) won't stick, it either turns into spaghetti or melts all over the hot end and I need to replace it (which is the current state of affairs.)

Ender. I sent the Monoprices back before I got it. The Ender spends almost as much time out of commission as running, and has produced more failed prints than successful ones. I'm beginning to think I'm just bad at it.

It must be nice to have a printer that works so readily... >.< I'm about ready to sell mine for scrap.

What it says on the tin. Just picked up some 'crons (courtesy of the inestimable @spagunk) and I don't know how to build out the warriors. My first instinct is to go for the Gauss Flayers, for the extra range, but the Reapers look spicy with the right dynasty (I'm looking at probably going either Nephrekh or custom.) Ideas? Opinions? Arguments and flame wars?

Everything has been traded away, thanks all!

+1 to Free Geek. They take all manner of used electronics, even busted stuff. They'll recycle stuff that doesn't work anymore. Also a great place to thin your accumulation of excess USB cables (if you're anything like me.)

I've never been able to cut through Bostria's accent. Cliff's notes?

Shameless plug to spread the word on my friend's work. His Kickstarter goes live on March 2nd. https://coyoteandcrow.net/ Sci-fantasy game in an alternate world where weird [big bad swear word] has happened and European explorers never came to the Americas. The originator (my buddy) and most of the team are all of some degree First Nations. Really cool world he's built.

https://www.digitaltaxidermy.co.uk/stl-files-for-3d-printed-miniatures-and-terrain/spool-tower-upcycle-multi-level-modular-terrain.html Finally put those damned spools to use! Fully intend to be making a few buys at some point. Maybe donate some terrain to the club.
