According to many Anons, it appears that the ghost of Chairman Mao has upped his recast game for Geedubs miniatures, and people are increasingly opting to buy recasts rather than actual GW plastic crack.
What is your experience with recasts? How often do you splurge on actual GW product?
I've heard a lot of success stories with anons buying chinacast. I've also heard just about the same amount of stories of anons getting burned by it. Months waiting and no product, getting scammed, shit quality on delivery, etc.
It's too much of a risk imo.

I bought some mk.iv jump packs from a chinaman and the quality was merely okay. A little muddy in the recesses but not significant worse than some stuff I've actually gotten from Forge World, especially on older, more popular molds.
The biggest problem was the shrinkage, the bits are noticeably smaller than their authentic counterparts. Shouldn't stand out too badly on the tabletop but side by side, there's a difference.

What are your thoughts about the space locusts in 8th edition?
And did I see that correctly, that every twin-linked weapon has now double the amount of shots except our bio weapons?

Ello /tg/. I'm gonna be running CoC for the first time in a couple weeks, I intend to do Amidst the Ancient Trees; the scenario included in the 7thed core rules.
Any tips for a CoC new fag? We'll be playing on Roll20, I got a pro membership too.
>>53810164
use d100
>>53810164
Yes. Read this Article. It's from White Dwarf 91, released in 1987, back when CoC was still a developing rpg and Lovecraft was new to the gaming world.
It talks more about the concepts of Lovecraft's writing, what makes them so good, and why they work well in an RPG. It's definitely worth reading in order to try and capture the feeling of a Lovecraftian scenario.

Do you actually think Wizards can do a return to Dominiara justice?
>>53808855
between that and another unset something good might happen
A friend of mine was behind on news. I shared the exciting news of returning to Dominaria and got a, "What's that? Is that a place? Have we been there before?"
It was at this point I realized new players not only don't care about Dominaria, they don't even know it's something TO care about.

Pokemon will grant you a scholarship if you play long and hard enough
Not raging, just metagaming:
> Fondles the cards he wants you to target
I wanted to ask him often that worked.
My metagaming was to straight up ask people if they had a specific card in their hand; I could usually tell by their reaction. Quit gaming around that time, so couldn't push it, or ask / have a judge called on me.
Story thread.
I'm looking for a particular cap I saw a while back. A paladin was being played by a that guy, the GM made him fall, and then sent him through a series of trial to redeem himself and also reformed the that guy as a player in the process. If anyone has it I'd be grateful.
Dumping more stories for now.
Also if anyone else has any requests, let me know. I have a decent collection so I might have what you're looking for.

Pretty Marines.
I had a pretty fucking moronic one when I was a dumb kid. The 'lavamarines', where I tried to paint them in lava-camouflage and it came out as an orange-red-yellow fucking mess, every time. I ruined so many models before I gave up.

Shadow war is a really good game; shame it's going to be dead for a while due to 8th. My club has openly said they're dropping it and picking it up again once they're all sick of 8th ed.
Feels bad man.
>>53799530
Sucks my dude. My pals and I have just gotten started. I kickstarted some terrain that isn't due to ship until October at the earliest, and unfortunately the odds are good my buddies will have lost interest by then. Still, I'm gonna try to ride the skirmish high for now.
Anyone wanna tell me about their Kill Team?

This is my WIP on a harakoni warhawk kill team. In having trouble coming up with names for them right now, it looks like harakoni names might be similar to Japanese? Does any have any resources I could use to look that up?
>fairies have started following your party

>>53798354
No adventuring party is complete without its propaganda wing, or in this case, wings. Make sure they only say flattering things!
>>53798354
So long as the rumors are amusing, not particularly malicious, perhaps potentially beneficial on occasion, why the fuck not.
