I love them. The inside of my mouth, not so much.
I let the intrusive thoughts win and hung my ceiling nightlight thing from the inside shower curtain and shower with the lights off. I find it more calming--not that I found found showers not relaxing before but feels like I'm shutting out the outside world more and that I find more relaxing.
I also have some of those bone conducting headphones that are waterproof so I listen to podcasts while I shower as well.
Huh, never knew the Soviets got churchills. 🤔
Some creators are a bit iffy on the models, usually because there's too much detail for the scale. It looks great in renders but it's almost unpaintable. Some others like station forge have got it spot on, though. Enough detail to keep it interesting without being an absolute pain to paint.
The tubes replacing their beard on the helmeted models is so dope.
I have two resin printers (an old Proton and a Saturn 8k) and I've printed a fair number models, though no vehicles and it's been SO worth the money now that easy to print, less-brittle resins exist. The patreons I was subscribed to provided very good value per month too. I never got into tablestop stuff largely because of the cost but printing minis is wildly cheap after the initial setup costs--and it's not like you can't print other non-tabletop stuff (I use mine for other personal projects too). I can print a "space marine" and base him (I print my basic bases on an FDM printer) and it'll cost me somewhere in the ballpark of 15 cents vs, what, multiple dollars if I were buying from GW? I guess it does take a fair amount of DIY to learn the process and dealing with the resin itself is not exactly fun but I find that a worthwhile tradeoff.
How long does DITT take to play? I haven't played any of the more "sim" wargames but I'm guessing it takes quite a while?
What are you currently hooked on? Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Historical?
Came back to wargaming after a looooong break and got back in with OnePageRules' Warfleets beta. Been playing a lot of that with the couple people I've roped into playing with me. Currently drowning in STLs from patreon subs that need printing/painting for when I get around to trying Grimdark Future but I haven't found any other players nearby so far, just lots of Malifaux and 40k players.
Bit crazy watching Reddit devolve to FAST.
I played a three-way match of Warfleets once with about ~25 ships on the field plus all their accompanying squadrons--which is a respectable game with each fleet being a little on the larger size. With only 4 rounds in a game normally, you'd expect things to be pretty cut-and-dry as to who will win after the first couple rounds but in this meat-grinder of a game it all came down to one singular morale roll at the end of round 4. Every other ship had been wiped from the board and the only deciding factor on whether it was a three-way draw or a win for one of the players was a 4+ on a 6-sided die on the last remaining ship carrying a scoring objective.
He made it!
Been playing a lot of the beta rules lately trying out all the different factions available and having a good time. Rules are simple but surprisingly still lead to a complex game; feels a bit like chess in space as movement/positioning is arguably more important than just rolling well and poor deployment/manoeuvring can really bone you. There are additional optional rules that allow you to play with mechanics cribbed from Battlefleet Gothic, Dropfleet, and Star Wars Armada.
