WhiteWulfe Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just now, Gadgetman! said: Go for WDs. They're good. I have 2x 4TBs, and 1x 12TB in my Synology, and a slot free. (Bought the 12TB when the single 4TB Seagate in there started getting finnicky. It was one recycled from a 'MyBook' unit) I hope the price of 12TB or larger drives have dropped a bit by next summer, because I intend to replace the two remaining 4TB drives then. It seems to vary on a batch by batch basis for us. We've had terrible luck with their black line the past five years, but that's typically been with 1-2TB hard drives. The hard part is finding decent drives that are reliable, for NAS work, and are still 7200rpm. I'll be doing something similar to what Gerald Undone did for video work if I do get semi-serious about such in the future - a dedicated Synology or Qnap filled with solid state drives... Because I don't already have issues with finding places to plug things into... >.>;;; 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lidless Eye Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Here's a weird question: anyone know a good file for an Undead/Zombie Unicorn? Trying to get one I can scale properly to be the mount for a Nurgle lord. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgetman! Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Basecoat it in Black 3.0 and freehand in bones with some bone colour and possibly mixed with a metallic or pearl to give it an edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnwulf Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 19 hours ago, WhiteWulfe said: But yeah, I can see STL's taking up space rapidly, especially the higher detail ones... Just as an example... I backed Skides of Sordane. First crew was 4.4 gb just for the 6 person crew. The ship was an additional 4 if you only wanted one version. . (it would go past 9 if you got all of the breakdowns, whole, medium fdm, small fdm, and resin.) And this is the zipped/compressed size. and this was only the first of 5 large ships, each with 6 crew. I wouldn't be surprised if by the time it's all said and done all the files for this KS will be over 100 gig.... That being said, this one DOES have the advantage of being fulfilled through MMF so I can download whenever I get ready to use, but I'm paranoid and like to keep them local copies too. so... while I may not have tubs and tubs of unpainted miniatures... storage space could get to be a real problem eventually. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I've spaced off from the beginning to use the 2nd HD for storage & the C drive (a ssd) as just my OS drive when I bought this computer last Black Friday. I was starting to run out of space on it. While I've slowed way down on stl purchases/acquired I still have 150 GB of them & usually add probably 5 GB each week to them, depending on if I need to download a Patreon Welcome pack or not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys have a couple of Sahaugin minis I'd really like to have before Saturday (encounter with them) but vs having a 2 pack of the melee ones they made them seperate. I can get the entire 4 pack (shark riders & melee guys) for 15, but I really don't need them all, even if they are very cool looking. Anyone know what their starter pack consists of? Also are they even still doing Patreons? Last message is dated like March or April this year. He was having HD problems & needed them fixed from the messages. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know he took a break from it all. Not certain when or if he will be back. I also want those one day especially the riders. And that crabqueen also looks tempting. I got the mummy set, it's good quality. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Well problem solved with the sahaugin minis. My FLGS had 2 in stock of the Nolzur's (I thought he only had 1) so I've got what I need for Saturday's game. I still will keep AMINI3D in mine. I just need to see what's in the starter pack first before I commit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked his Patreon site and the message from April where he said he'd take a break is still there, I don't see any new sculpts or anything? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
