Anyone still playing Warhammer 40K these days? (tabletop game)

It's a cool model, but at the same times looks like it would not be fun to paint. Wow, you put some work in to that to be sure.

Battletech is entering its edgelord phase.



Battletech Gothic. Yes that's the name they're going with.

I guess it's like the Max Max phase the game went though around 2000-ish with Mech Warrior Dark Age, but more 40k adjacent.

Battletech was starting to have a renaissance, but they've made some questionable decisions with their authors.
I still have some teams for casual play, but the company is off the rails.

Yeah, I have to wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

Firing Blaine Pardoe is the dumbest thing Catalyst Games has ever done. And all on false allegations by a person that wasn't even who they claimed they were at the time the charges were levied. This was proven to be a 100% hoax and they still chose the false accuser over the guy that has been keeping their fiction line going for years. I believe they even gave the hoaxer a job? Clown World.

Catalyst and Goodman Games are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are either compromised or they were biding their time. Steve Jackson Games is another company I've lost so much faith in.

I have plenty of old Battletech materials if I still want to play, and all of the new stuff is readily available online if you know which seas to sail.

Anyone ever play Bolt Action?

Sup nerds, recommendations/thoughts on airbrushes?

Really wanting one for terrain, base coating, vehicles, etc.

I bought the starter set for the miniature Skirmish game Dead Man’s Hand.

Currently putting that together.

I'd recommend you get 1 or 2 cheaper airbrushes instead of a expensive one.
Chances are you are going to fuck one up sooner or later.
For miniatures that's good enough.
For basecoating I just use rattlecans.

For what you describe, I would also recommend a cheap airbrush. I use a cheap airbrush 95% of the time anyways. I don't do small details with airbrush that often. I prefer gravity feeds over siphon feed even for basecoating. Siphon feed looks good on paper, but doesn't work well in practice.

This is the one I use for all of the things you mention:

Amazon.com: Master Airbrush Model G22 Multi-Purpose Dual-Action Gravity Feed Airbrush with a 0.3mm Tip and 1/3 oz. Fluid Cup - User Friendly and Versatile - Spray Auto Graphics, Art, Hobby, Crafts, Tattoos, Cake : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

They used to have a set with compressor and everything. You can get similar models on Temu, but YMMV.

Two other things to make it easier:
Airbrush Flow Improver
Iwata Airbrush Cleaner

Primer based paints can really clog an airbrush. Flow improver helps for that, and it reduces clogs overall.

Thanks guy. I’ll probably have to buy a compressor too. I have a nice 220v one outside for tools but I guess I probably don’t need one that powerful for an airbrush lmao.

I’m sure something from harbor freight will be fine.
