edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yes, how dare I use such things, lol. Oh hey, Monkey, question for you when you get on- how big is Ol' Rowdy compared to the plastic Ironclad, do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I dunno, gave it a kind of fun emphasis, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Evening Ed..... Rowdy is a little bigger, but has a big shoulder pad and a few extra armour plates on him. Thinking of making one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I read through Allison's short story in Rites of Passage, and she's got an Ironclad in there named Bunker. I kinda want to try doing a diorama piece for the two of them, but I'd want to convert Bunker somewhat. His big moment of awesome involves taking a ton of punishment from a Protectorate Colossal, and I think it'd be very appropriate for him to be braced as if he's taking a blow, and Rowdy's legs look like the right pose for that.

Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The Rowdy model does look fantastic...... How is your day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, I'd want to kitbash it with the regular plastic Ironclad though. Bunker is awesome, but Rowdy's got too many special gubbins for me to take off, so I'm thinking of bitz ordering Rowdy's legs and lower torso, then grabbing the plastic kit and going from there. I'm doing pretty good, all told. There's apparently an audit at work today, and I found out last night. Good job folks on telling third. >.> Anyway, I'm not here for it, so I don't care all that much, lol. How are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ooo forgot Privateer Press do bits orders..... handy. My day was just another day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, I wasn't sure if Rowdy would be in there, but he is. No idea on the cost, it'll be a month or more before I can mess with it. I'm thinking Allison and Bunker standing back to back. The standard model for Allison has her shooting her pistol, so use her fighting some Menite infantry, maybe zealots. Not sure if I want Bunker facing off against something, or put that at the back end of the diorama so that it implies an enemy 'offscreen' so to speak. Oof, I'm sorry. Did you get that machine running that you mentioned a while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sounds like a nice diorama ..... I got it back together, but we are having issues getting it to run, thinking there might be an airlock in the hydraulics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Too much air taking up where the oil should be..... will take a while to work its way through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ohh. Yeah, that would be a problem, I'm betting. Eek. That'd be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah.... oh well I am sure we will get it going. Been enjoying the Warmachine novella things then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah. Rites of Passage was great, they did a great job fleshing out all the journeyman warcasters. Even the Cryx one was interesting, which surprised me. Although not as much as the fact that at the end of the Menoth story, I liked Servath Reznik as a character. He always struck me as just 'lulz, evil executioner' for the Protectorate, and his process as Tristan's mentor was actually really complex. Definitely made him much more interesting.

edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I think it's just ebook, unfortunately. I'd love to see some of this stuff in print! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I tend to only do it for stuff that's ebook only, honestly. Otherwise I like my dead trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 At the very least, it's always easier to read on paper. It's why I always tend to track down rulebooks for stuff, even if I have the pdfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, I tend to like actual rulebooks..... there was a massive backlash when the ancients game I play said version two was going to be ebook only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Huh. I have to say, I kinda sympathize with the game makers, print books are expensive...but still, if you already have a solid following why do that? Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 In the world of print on demand why not make it available that way...... which is what they ended up doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Some printing places won't let you do that. Kinda depends on how you're doing it. But still, glad to hear they found a way to compromise and get it to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 As I say there was a lot of backlash..... seriously the last crowd you should do that sort of thing with is the ancients crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
