I neither confirm nor deny that I accidentally may have ordered a 6mm SciFi army by accident.

 

Oopsie.

 

[Erifnogard]

I wouldn't want to be the one to try and give Lolth a belly rub. 
 

 

ETA:  Or a buzzie come to think of it.

Hmmmmm well.... maybe not the EVIL spider gods....

So how would you guys do 6mm SiFi infantry using only Reaper parts? CAV is nominally 10mm so their infantry is insufficient.

I have been looking and coming up empty. I see several things that could work for other elements of a SiFi 6mm scale army.

A Titan class mech

Some medium mech/warjack sized walkers

Some close air support/fliers

A candidate for super heavy hover tanks

 

But infantry -??- out of something Reaper...

 

I did find a 6mm infantry platoon on Shapeways for $7-$12. No link because commerce site. They are four to a sprue. Looked like three would fit a penny.

A ninja order... Edited May 1, 2016 by TGP

Oh, shoot! TGP mentions Shapeways, and that reminded me that I was going to do some printing today. Probably too late now. Just got finished grey lining two Bones I figures, so that I can do a little painting after I cook dinner for tonight (knock-off zuppa tuscano, side of French bread, and fresh baked cookies for dessert). Maybe I go ahead and get the job ready, just to see how long it takes.

But speaking of the figures, one of two is the IMEF sargent, Nick Stone. I'm sure Mr. Jackson doesn't frequent the Randomness threads, but he sculpted tread on the raised foot. And it transferred over to Bones. I was impressed.

Anyway, off to chop potatoes and kale, then get the sausage browned up. Dinner's in an hour if anybody's coming over.***

***Haha! Not enough time! More soup for me!

I just realized I've been misreading "Lord Ashenwyte" as "Lord Ashenwife"  this whole time.  Color me embarrassed.

Look at me!  Limited edition baby!

[NomadZeke]

I need a vacation...or Xanax. Maybe both.

1 troll, 1 conjurer, 4 skeletons, 1 carrion crawler, 1 grick, 1 intellect devourer, and 1 basilisk. I think that was it. And finished off a little piece of a wall. And kinda started a rust monster. All since last night. Pretty speedy, I guess.

I have a 1947 Singer Sewing Machine).. in working condition.

The stupid light still works.. it is a wide harp machine (with ALL the attachments).. was given to me years ago.

Now I want it gone, but I want it to go to someone that will appreciate it.

:wub:

 

Really?!?

 

I love those great old machines. I've kind of had my heart set on a foot-powered one for a while, just for nostalgia's sake.

 

At the moment my workhorse is a bottom-of-the-line Sears Kenmore machine, all mechanical with no computerized bits to go "pzzzt" at inopportune moments. I've sewn cushions, curtains, costumes, leather aviator caps, clothing for the whole family, and tailored suits on it.

I have an old Singer that belonged to my great-grandmother. Only problem with it is the bobbin spooler doesn't have the hold it used to, so unless you hold the wheel Just Right, loosely threaded bobbin.

 

Otherwise it works like a champ. One of the first electrics, it's still attached to it's original base. Love it and used it just before Christmas to make some stuff.

 

And yes, the light still works.

 

Hate the plastic carp they call "sewing machines" these days. Designed to fall apart if you look at them crosseyed.

 

 

 I have a Tailor, which was somewhat expensive when it was given to me, but which turns out (after some research) to be in actuality just a re-branded Chinese machine... It's a passable machine, but nobody wants them because they can't get parts for them.

 

 

 

Have the assassin put a placebo in his drink.

 

Just as a warning.

Bottom of glass needs to have "you've just been poisoned" on it

 

 

 I did something similar in college during an assassination game... Poured about four teaspoons of lemon juice in someone's coffee cup in the cafeteria while they and the rest of the people at their table were up ordering their food, and then left a napkin under the cup with "I'm dead" written on the bottom so the other people saw it before the target did...

 

 

Yesterday (while playing D&D) my paladin opened a door in the underground lair to find four enemies. They all threw alchemist's fire at my trusty paladin, half of them missed. As I sat there thinking, "Ouch, next round that's another 2d6," the cleric announced enthusiastically, "I cast Create Water over her!"

 

It was extra awesome because the person playing the cleric isn't as familiar with spells and standard strategies, so I felt like it was a turning point for her.

 

 Reminds me of Sister Maria, my fourth grade Catholic Catechism teacher who let us play after class - the party was getting their elfs kicked by a vampire who had her cleric (also named Sister Maria) jacked up against a row of shelves in a wine cellar with one hand, while pimp-slapping the party fighter with the other...

Since she knew nothing about D&D I'd told her that in addition to casting spells her cleric could perform any miracle that one of the saints had, as long as she named the saint who'd done it (she loved that part, lol). Anyhoo, the party was in danger of a TPK. When her turn came around again, you could see the wheels turning and the smoke pouring out of her ears.

Finally, she reached up behind her, grabbed two jugs of water off the shelf, and in character recited the exact blessing Catholic priests use to make Holy Water - and then smashed the jugs together with the vamp's head between them. The whole table was speechless. I was completely brain-locked for an entire minute. And then the vamp burst into flames and died. Instant win. What else could I do, y'know?

Great anecdotes, but I suppose it's a sign of the times that I was actively horrified at the notion of actually putting anything secretly into someone else's coffee for real. Good use of the napkin, though.

[Darsc Zacal]

Blue urine, 1940's era sewing machines, hair curlers, and a discussion on what gods really want...

Yep. Think I'm all caught up on the randomness thread now.
