The cap troopers actually make pretty good Helljumpers.

Uh, yeah. Completely my fault. I'll see about refunding a portion of that and I'll still send it to you. Ugh, things have just been crazy over here with my final semester(s) of college and work. Wake up at 6am, get ready, fight traffic to arrive at 8 or 9am, then go to school and work which...

I'm done with minis gaming, so I'm looking to clear out some space from my home. I've got 64 PAMI total, about 16 have been assembled, the rest are still on sprue. One is painted like the Helljumpers from Halo, the others are unpainted. I also have 80 warrior bugs and 6 hoppers. About 40 or so...

Someone posted an article a while back about making hills with slopes that you can put a figure on and not have them fall over. There was a certain angle that you had to make the slope for this to work.

You might have found some more expensive version meant for high end home insulation. The cheapest stuff is likely to be styrofoam. And honestly while HDF is likely to be better, I don't think it's that much better to pay that much. Some people talk about pink insulation foam being great, try...

Not because I don't like BFE, but I'm getting out of miniature gaming in general until I get a more stable lifestyle. There's a lot of expenses I have lately, so these have got to go. I have: 1 Type 99 Tank 2 PLA Infantry Squads Basically it's a starter set. Looking for about $50 shipped to...

Alas, I'm leaving the miniature gaming scene for now. I don't have the time or space to hold on to my giant SST collection, nor do I have the time to paint them since I'm graduating soon, finding a new job, and getting an apartment. So I need to sell them to help with expenses. I've got 64...

2030 might be a bit of ways over. You should definitely let your opponent know you're 30 points over and let him take an option to match up. I know it sounds like not much, but 30 points is about 1 extra soldier or support option, and 1 guy can change things. Forexample, that's one more to...

You could say that ever bit of future warfare fiction is "weak" because they're just "carbon copying" Robert A Heinlein's vision of infantry powered armor in the Starship Troopers book. Those tau battlesuits? Heinlein's idea, carbon copy. All that anime? Carbon copy. Forth? Sure, carbon...

The Forth are not a copy of the Tau. Instead, both the Tau and the Forth are inspired by a broad spectrum of Japanese anime designs. Because they're pulling from the same art style, there's bound to be similarities.

So, did you actually play on the table with them?

The thing to remember is that whether or not the old models will always be available, all of the old models will be tournament legal in SSTE. They'll have official stats published in S&P so that even if any of the models won't be remade in SSTE, you'll still have the stats for them to play with...

Also note that unlike in the original rules, you can place the fire zone anywhere you want within that 12", then measure out another 6" to see what the furezone catches. Thus you have an effective range of about 18" from the center of the model. Once again, this was factored into the model's...

If anything, once the advanced rules come out I'm sure we'll see some conversions of 40k and other games to SST, and vice versa.

Looks nice, but yeah, needs a lot more suppression tokens. Didn't think they'd get these tokens out so fast considering the main rulebook isn't out yet, so there could be some other effects that need tokens.
