So the Gaki are the first wyrd models that I need but really dislike the model. Has anyone come across any good proxies for these guys?

No rush mate. Take your time

It was always a risk that customs would sting us. I will send the extra cash your way when I get the invoice.

I am not a fan of NMM in general but all these are lovely. Well done!

-The rules need to be easier to reference. The index is abysmal. I should be able to look up any common ability. If an ability is not "common" enough to show up in the rulebook, then it should ALWAYS be spelled out on the card. 100% of the time, no exceptions. As a related bit to this, your references should be in as few places in the book as possible. As it stands, if I need to check tokens/counters, characteristics, common abilities, common triggers, etc. I am flipping all over the bloody book. When I started the game, I was playing Kirai exclusively. It's a bit annoying when people tell you her crew is really resilient but you don't know why because Spirit is in an out of the way place because it is classified as a Characteristic (which is annoying to reference) rather than an Ability, despite it explicitly contributing to the abilities of the model itself!

This is a big one for me. I really dispise the Index in the 1.5 book. For example, I am a new player and need to clarify Spirit. I looked in the index and it wasnt there....

Was made brilliant by a Beckoner, and fell to Huggies obey several times. While in control of my opponent Izamu proceeded to kill Yan Lo (and Soul Porter), an Ashigaru and Chaki.

I now know what its like to be on the receiving end of Izzy. I also no know that I need to avoid brilliance at all costs!

Cool! The UK are getting closer to getting their hands on these lovely decks

I had an issue running Vassalfaux last night that was not down to a bug but down to my system configuration.

This will only effect a very small number of people, namely people who are Java Developers. If you have installed the developers preview of Java 8 on your machine and forgotten about it (like me), Vassalfaux will only allow you to perform one action (flip card, add character to your sideboard) before it stops you from adding anything further to your sideboard.

To solve this I completely removed Java 8 from my machine. Vassal now works as expected.

I know it will probably be rare for this to pop up for most folk but I thought it would be worth a mention.

Yes, plastic cement, while not essential, will greatly reduce any breakages at joints if used while assemling plastics.

I haven't had any real trouble with the new plastics to be honest. 1 Guild Rifleman had a broken strap on his rifle when I opened the box but that was about it.

One tip I would be when removing the parts from the sprue make sure you cut about 1cm away from the actual part itself. Then trim the part once you have it off the sprue. This way you reduce the risk of the part snapping while you clip it off the sprue.

Also, with the really small or fragile looking parts try cleaning the part while it is still on the sprue. That way you reduce the chance of it going flying across the room!

I really like that conversion

I will be picking up Toshi so I can try running Yan Lo without Izamu.

I went for the Rivenstone range from startledhegdehog on ebay. Cheap and a very helpful seller. Pretty good quality too.

The snow may have slowed them down but I got my puppets today.

My only gripe about the new plastics is the lack of definition on some of the models. The hands, and faces are the main culprits, the ashi's feet are also a problem. I know this is due to the models being sculpted to true scale but some things need to be exaggerated when working at this scale.

You dont use any form of undercoat on your minis?

nice work!

I don't think anybody would mind that at all and the reason for the month long sign up period is for people to get comfortable using Vassal. If you can get a couple of games under your belt then you will have learnt all you need to know about Vassel. I'm sure there's enough people here who could give you a demo run-through.

If that sounds ok then ping me your email address and I'll add you to the sign ups.

Ok cool. I am in and I will also be interested in playing in two leagues if possible.

And theJudge can get a quick game in with (assuming no more power cuts!)

Sounds good dude. Lets set something up.

I would be up for this. I havent actually played a game on vassal yet but it would be a great way to learn if the rest of you dont mind being patient with me for a few games

pull my finger is why I ordered a 35ss Collodi crew last week :Smug_Puppet2:

Hey, I am looking for 1 unpainted stitched together that I am willing to pay cash for or trade you some old, unpainted GW stuff (to mush to list here).

PM me if you have 1 spare. I am in the UK.

Where are you located? eBay UK has a few Myrandas available at the moment.

I am using the following for my Collodi crew to represent a puppet stage.

Will probably use the same for Collette when I get round to doing her crew too.

Was used for the first time and was killed by Mei Fang once, suffered another 7 wounds after being resurrected and then finally killed her with help from Yan Lo.

Depending on scale, when it comes out, what about this for the dead rider?

That is sweet!!! Very possibly an option instead of the official Dead Rider.
