Papercraft terrain sellers. They've got stuff for sci-fi, modern, fantasy, horror, etc. Ten or so sets per genre. They've even got some stuff you can put together for BFG or other space based games, replacement boards for Space Hulk, etc.

Definitely getting some of this for Infinity when the time comes.

Here's a youtube of them putting some together, using a fantasy set.

Edit: And here is a video of using their custom terrain creation software so you can design your own boards.

FFFFFFFUUUUU

You print them out, do some cutting, and mount them to pieces of foamcore you've cut according to templates. Then you make little foamcore tabs to join them together. It's a bit time consuming but it's actually really easy.

FirstCongoWar posted:

Yeah, every floor piece is either 3x3, 6x6, or a hallway, and there are some standard templates that fit them. Pieces like posts and walls aren't mounted on anything so those you just print and cut.

Just FYI that is a pretty sexist question. I try to convince my boyfriend to play these kind of games with me!

My turn.

Hey guys, does anyone have any good "boyfriend" games? He pretty much just likes Risk and found Twilight Imperium really boring and confusing.

Furret Basket posted:

Yeah I have Axis and Allies, not really had chance to give it a real go. I've bought the Doom boardgame which I hope will be good.

He's really into his mechs and stuff so I'm thinking of getting some Battletech, are the rules very complex and/or in-depth? How fun are the rules? Is it mostly boring old stats and stuff or are there a lot of fun and simple "actions" you can do?

For comparison, he's okay with current 40k, it's a fairly simple set of rules and most of the units and armies have special abilities they can do.

Im probably going to do with monpoc what I did with MTG...buy a ton of common/uncommons on ebay and have fun games with those against my gf/friends and not worry about collecting the MEGA RARE GAMEBREAKERS RARARAR)A(FU)ASFA

PaintVagrant posted:

yeah Im going to buy the gently caress out of that starter box

PaintVagrant posted:

Speaking of FSA, Im hocking my painted dindrenzi and terran starter fleets. I like the game a lot, but no one locally plays it and I just got my boardgame friend into monpoc, which he likes way more than FSA...sooo.

Anyone who wants to get into FSA, Ill sell you both painted fleets (the dindrenzi battleship isnt painted, just primed) and the book and the deck for $100+shipping.

PaintVagrant posted:

actually, the dude who runs spartan games wants them. If that falls through for some reason though, Ill make em available to you.

Also, they dont want the rulebook and cards (for obvious reasons) so those will be available regardless

PaintVagrant posted:

So I got to play my first real (sort of) game of monpoc tonight. Hot drat.

In the span of 3 turns, my friends monster threw my monster into a crowd of my own units, squashing them.

I proceeded to get up and bodyslam him into a nearby building

He then swatted one of my flying martian thingies into a building, destroying both.


I dont know if Ive ever played a board/minis game with more FUCKYEAH moments than this. Pretty stoked.

Did someone say Aliens: The Board Game? It's kind of Space Hulk-y but way harder for the marines. In fact it could very easily be renamed Aliens: Marine Murder Simulator

That's about average.

Combined Army will usually have 6-8, Ariadna can push it up to ~15-16 while staying reasonably, er, reasonable (of course, you can always spam 50 6-point warbands with chainrifles but that's just ridiculous).

Ideally, if you can, you'll want to keep it at or under 10 or go to something like 12-16, because you can only have up to ten minis sharing a single order pool (so either a single pool, or two pools with 6-8 minis each - anything less than 6 and you don't really have enough orders in the pool to be flexible with your powerful units).

It sounds complex, but after a few games its rad as hell

PaintVagrant posted:

Feel free to post here with any questions, the pdfs are pretty tough to decipher at first, due to some seriously funky layout

PaintVagrant posted:

Yeah, ariadna are sort of "high skill, low tech",similar to haqqislam.

It looks like a decent list,although you might want to swap a HMG for one of the snipers if possible.

snipers and the autocannon are great on "reaction" (when its the other players turn) and HMGs are better in your own turn than in reaction, so it usually works to have both.

Ansob. posted:

Because you picked a dude from a unit known for not working well with other people. You picked US Army Rangers who are solo operatives used to working behind enemy lines in camo and murdering people, not giving orders and co-ordinating people.

You should pick one of the 0SWC Lieutenant choices instead, as in general they're a much better idea - either cheap and nondescript so the enemy can't easily guess their location, or really tough so the enemy has a hard time killing them (and even the former is preferable to the latter because you want to use your elite troops aggressively). Infiltrator/SpecOps troops like Foxtrots are something you use offensively, not something that hangs back and hides.

(Also I'm AFB and can't be bothered to download the .pdfs right now but I vaguely remember you'd in Loss of Lieutenant if your Lt is a marker - I may be entirely wrong, though.)

Also, your first group doesn't have enough cheerleaders and your second group doesn't have enough muscle. I suggest moving the 3xLK to the first group, using one as a Lt, and putting the Foxtrots into the second group because your Tankhunter is probably going to be camping in a place where he has nice LoS to any passing enemy elites. I'd also dump the LK sniper (terrible BS) and put in more Irmandinhos for delicious chainrifle action.

Ansob. posted:

Because Foxtrots are US Army Rangers are not Airborne.

Completely new units used to get released every now and again but nowadays they seem to have gone for the much smarter decision of only releasing new rules with new books. There's a shitload of sculpts they haven't done yet so adding new units isn't necessarily a good thing.

Like I said, I'll be expecting the 101st USAriadna Airborne or something similar in the USAriadna sectorial.
