Who said you need to decal 6mm troops? If you look at what other people did for troops in 6mm they only use a few colors and that's it. 6mm was meant for armor combat (though recently people started to do skirmish too). Where did I say you had to? Some gamers enjoy having their minis being as "...

Maxgravity

Having seen the size discrepancy between the 6mm Invid Scouts and a Destroid in person, I can say that it's really, really jarring. The ability to paint intricate detail on the 6mm Invid is also extremely limited. You will need a microscope to see decals on a 6mm Cyclone. I think that having 6 and 1...

Think of it then those players whom I'm sure are not scared of technology will post he info and scoop pb on this big news, thus once again we backers hear news from someone else first again. Only if they truly have no clue. A fairly standard PR tactic is to send out embargoed press releases that ar...

Maxgravity

I kind of figure that they are sitting on the RRT update until on/after the 16th. That will allow them to make it a big announcement not just at the Open House but also at the RRT tournament there and allows them to give the attendees the "insider" scoop before it becomes public. -MaxGravity

Maxgravity

just got my GHQ order in today. A HEMTT fits nicely on a 30mm base and is large enough that it reinforces the scale of the mecha without looking like a clown car compared to them. The design is also suitably angular enough that it looks more sci-fi than more mainstream real life vehicles. -MaxGravity

Maxgravity

The wording in Flyover is somewhat ambiguous which leaves me with a couple of questions. A. Are you limited to one Flyover per turn or can you conduct multiples? My gut instinct was 1 but then I got to thinking about the penalties to use imposed by the interaction of the Flyover, Aircraft and Afterb...

Maxgravity

Are you consistently rolling low? If so, try changing dice. One of the dirty secrets of gaming is that game dice are low quality to begin with and even "good" dice wear out to the point of no longer rolling truly random within a few hundred rolls on a soft surface, quicker on the typical d...

Maxgravity

Hey Alpha, just wanted to drop a line to encourage you and let you know you're not alone. With the release of the tournament rules, I realized that an all-Destroid list was not competitively viable and so suddenly had a to crash build a Valk army to supplement it. Over the last three days, I've got ...

Maxgravity

Something else to consider with the pricing of the Phalanx is its relative utility. In a Destroid force, it fills a vital role providing long range strike capability for a force that is markedly slower than any of the completion and therefore merits a proportionally cheaper price than say Vertitech ...

Maxgravity

The problem I have with the Phalanx is that it is a game changer and is is extremely cheap compared to the Heavy Arty Battlepod (HABP). To me, it's more a case of the Artillery Regults are almost ludicrously overpriced for what they bring to the table. I think I get what the Devs were thinking sinc...

Maxgravity

Maxgravity : we added that last provision as a counter-balance to the absurd unlimited ammo that the Phalanx has. Without that what What has your experience been in playing? How is Blast working or not working? My experience, which I'll admit is relatively limited so far as to the variety of player...

Maxgravity

Not to mention, even at 250 points you can end up with some truly large armies that take time to play like a list that's 42 Regults + special character.

-MaxGravity

Maxgravity

Please do not take this as a rabid attack, but I think the rules will likely alienate a portion of the player base. I know that the VT's are the "stars" of the show, but there is a sizeable portion of the player base that favors Destroids to the exclusion of everything else. This will be a...

Maxgravity

Ticket bought, now to trim 50 points from my list. I thought that 300 pts was the standard, why the 50 point cut?

A mecha can never be destroyed by the automatic damage (i.e. the last point of MDC can't be the 1 or 2 points assigned for being under the template). I was tracking with you until this point. I think giving away the ability or Arty to finish off softened up units is throwing the baby out with the b...

Maxgravity

Or bolting on some RATO's/JATO's which is the standard way of getting a bird past MTOW airborne. That's a possibility, yeah... though one would have to wonder where you'd stick it to avoid damaging the verniers on the NP-FB-01 packs or mounted armaments. There's very little free space on the airfra...

Maxgravity

I won't be playing 'the rpg with tactics', so the character conversion rules, where a single mid level pilot might cost more than an entire VT squad isn't helpful to me, unless it's proportionally powerful for that cost (from my reading, that doesn't seem to be the case). I am of the opinion that t...

Maxgravity

What that translates into is that a FASTpacked Valk will fly as long as it generates enough speed to produce enough lift to offset the weight of the FASTpacks. Countering this is the parasitic drag fo the packs themselves, but there's the interesting part, drag is also a function of speed and the p...

Maxgravity

They'd only really be usable for a straight-line ballistic flights to extreme high altitude (we're talking 80-100km+) for interception purposes. You could say that it's "possible, but not remotely practical" to use the VF-1's FAST packs in atmospheric service. In real life, the penalties ...

Maxgravity

My issue with this is that Marine is a branch of service....not an OCC. considering the united Earth Defense Force not only does not currently exist, and in the show, is comprised of multinational recruits, the idea that the UEDF has to conform to american divisions of jurisdiction is somewhat sill...

Maxgravity

cool. I play exclusively on line, so the idea of physical miniatures is just a waste of money. But there are stats for YF-4s? Those are not statted out in the RPG. Is there a way to reverse the conversions from RPG to RTT so we can get YF-4s in the RPG? Not really, it's not like the RPG where the s...

Maxgravity

If you are using an airbrush, the dry time on primer is a lot closer to 15-30 minutes unless you just absolutely cake it on which is a bad habit anyway. Also dry times can be accelerated by using a hairdryer set on low and moving it fairy constantly so you don't get a hotspot on the model. -MaxGravity

Maxgravity

Honestly, there's not a lot unless you are using miniatures to map out combat in the RPG. Pages 92-96 in the RTT rulebook cover interactions with the RPG and the majority of that page space is for converting RPG characters to units in RRT. Other than that, there are two small paragraphs. One reminds...

Maxgravity

Even though the Super Veritechs/Valkyries haven't come out yet for RPG Tactics I've wanted to know something for some time now-are these vehicles meant to fly in the atmosphere? When I played Robotech years ago the GM insisted they could fly with the added thrust from the FAST packs even though the...

Another thing I thought of is for people who are new to modeling and want an easy tip to help make their models look great is to invest in three primers, black mid tone grey and bright white so you can do a technique called Zenithal Highlight which is a technique that builds the highlight in to the ...

Some where, on some board, someone posted a photo of RRT armories from Adepticon including a Zent force with candy green regults. Does anyone have a link to that page?

Don't get fixated on Regults, go after the force multipliers like Recon, artillery and Glaugs. Also don't forget to hug cover when possible. Regults hit most Destroids, as well as Valk B and G modes 50% of the time but if you are in light cover that drops to 1/3rd the time or 1/6th of the time in he...

Assuming travel from AK to Detroit goes smoothly (never a given when you are above the Arctic Circle in conditions that most people would call winter even though it'll be mid-May), I should be there at 5:30 on Friday and will be there until about 4 on Sunday.

Maxgravity

I will be arriving around 5:30 on Friday. I am hoping to be able to play in the tournament. I'm bringing a 300 pt. UNMC Destroid force, but may also bring 300 points of Zentradi for some pick up games if I can overcome my hang up about playing with half-painted units.

Having it on the cards prevents some mistakes and confusion when building an army but can also be frustrating if you are used to things like 40k where a space marine is a space marine is a space marine and you pay for them individually to add to your force and only rarely as a full squad/squadron e...

Background: I'm a long time Warhammer, BT and 40K player with a fair bit of experience putting together/modding models, to the point that when my home was robbed a few years back, the insurance claim for the Citadel minis alone was well north of $10,000. Once you understand the wonky assembly, espec...

If you are using an airbrush, I highly recommend Mig Jimenez's Ammo line of primers. They seem a little pricey but they are large bottles so they go a long, long ways.

Anyhow...what I do is have players add the Officer MOS (I just renamed and tweaked the Line officer MOS) if they are sent through OCS 'in game'. For those few who start out as an officer they get the MOS at level one. But they also have to add a 4-5 years to their age to represent going to school a...
