    Oh god damnit.

    I just looked at my spreadsheet, and I literally just assigned my Wolfhound to a star for Clan Wolf-In-Exile.

    If that's not a sign I should just buy the damn new shiny thing, I don't know what is.

    Here I thought it would have sold out by now. Are there as many Nips out there on the fence about it?

    I have no idea that the Grinner in MWO wasn't correct (well I know that the one rear laser was moved to the front for the game) till now. So this is my way of having one of my favorite mechs on the tabletop and support the local manufacturing of mechs.

    Listen, it might sound that simple. But then that frees up a random Wolfhound loose on the spreadsheet, giving it no assigned home. Which means I have to add another line, for another unit that's going to require another set of decisions on who fields it and what their camo spec is. AND THEN I'll need to get it at least three more friends, which means buying more tiny robots.

    You see how this cycle goes, right? Right now, everything is a smooth and tightly-packed set of decisions, with no loose ends. It's like a perfect Jenga tower, and none of the blocks have been poked out yet.

    I buy Grinner, and I suddenly have to start playing Jenga again.

    On the upside, I just went and looked at CGL's site. Grinner's still in stock, but there's nothing else there I want or need, and I'm not about to pay for shipping! This at least keeps me safe for now....until those new Salvage boxes show up in their store...

    1> Monster Fight Club seems like a good fit, if a different specialties-plastic-figure pipeline was deemed necessary. I'd still like to see or read more details about the switch, and what their pipeline looks like. But that's just itinerant curiosity on my part.

    IIRC it wasn't anything to do with rants against CGL and BT (far from it as far as I can recall), but he has been very vocal on certain unsavory political views which CGL may be trying to distance from.

    I'm gonna be honest with you, I never really paid all that much attention to the people behind the scenes. I didn't find out about the scandal where Loren Coleman got in trouble (for borrowing from the company till to the point that it was interfering with CGL's ability to make payments to their freelancers) until years after it had largely blown over.

    Honestly I didn’t know about him until I saw a screenshot floating around of one of his worst Twitter statements and confirmed it wasn’t a fake myself.

  • DiplominatorDiplominator Hardcore Porg Registered User regular
    The worst part for me was that once I knew he was like that, I could absolutely see it in his writing. Everyone knows way too much about the US Civil War. Smoke Jaguars being all despondent over the destruction of their statues, etc etc.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/battletech/comments/swl6ne/found_a_whole_box_of_salvage/

    An interesting post. It comes off as a clear warning not to bulk buy these things, especially including the comment that mentions that this salvage case pack completely matches another case pack another buyer picked up.

  • NipsNips He/Him Luxuriating in existential crisis.Registered User regular
    Eh. The intent was to offer something blind and random. That people are buying literally entire cases and finding it's pseudo-random across multiple cases is no great shock to me. I can still be confident that when I find one in my hand, I'll have no idea what's inside, and that's the lure. Not sure there's much to be upset about here.

    In other news, speaking of chop shop jobs, Project Assemble All The Things has pushed into salvage territory:

    A salvaged Locust with refurbished SRMs and a new laser mount. Pretty easy this one, since I just borrowed parts that were already extant. Print, clean, cure, glue, done. Boom, missiles.

    I want to say Phoenix Hawk

    That's my guess for the white-with-red one

    It looks like they might be working on new plushies.

    They should do plushes for the Clan totem animals.

    If you're curious about my icon; it's an update of the early Lego Castle theme's "Black Falcons" faction.

    Weirdly pertinent to the conversation: there's a pretty prolific modeler named SirMortimerBombito that posts builds in the Facebook BT modeling/printing groups, and he recently did a Japanese Archer.

    Also a Crusader:

    If he weren't selling them for as much as he is, I might be tempted. That said, he does really good work across the board, and I think he did a good job adapting that slightly-derpy (IMO) line art into 3D.

    In today's installment of Project Build All The Things, we return to the salvage block with a Locust of the 1M variety. LRMs!

    Pretty simple, with custom tube-launcher style LRMs. I saw a couple LCTs on the internet that people did back in Ye Old Days, and it looked like they used the launcher off the Unseen Griffin or Thunderbolt, so I wanted to evoke that look.

    I need to work on the sizing of my surface details it seems though; the nubs on the butt ends and the side panels don't show up very well with my printer. Ah well. Anyway, it's done, so onto the next.

    It's a bit weird to have japanese versions of mechs that was already japanese designs.

    Nips, with all the Locust spam I'm starting to think you also go by the nick Fritz? :)

    Which reminds me, have anyone seen wargamer fritz's youtube videos and can comment on whether he actually knows what he's talking about?

    I've watched a lot of his videos. But mostly because he speaks clearly and generally sticks to the topic.

    Ups. Double post.

    Actually I'll use this post to ask.

    How much do people keep all their Inner Sphere and Clan mechs in the same colour?

    I can't remember the exact number but I think I have 30-50 mechs of each.

    If I build lances like Nips does and then pick an army for a game with mechs from diffrently painted lances/stars will it end up looking messy?

    Or do you think it's more important to have some varied display models?
