If you look at some of the painting guides on YouTube you can definitely tell the models are 30%ish bigger or more in 2.0

Yeah the only plus side is that they'll pretty much fit on the grid, so movement and stuff will work fine.

Painted a Blightbringer. Then chipped the base. At least that's an easy fix. https://imgur.com/a/vxBzgJ4

Yeah, I basically never comment on paintjobs, because I'm not really good enough to judge and anyone who can paint within the lines just seems like an otherworldly being to me, but, man. That should be the box art. It's not that it's fancy or that any aspect of it stands out, it's just that it's, like, perfect?

Oh, that's good. The gradient from brown to blue looks like it wasn't easy, but it works. As does the green flesh.

I'm magnetizing a Demolisher / Devastator / Spriggian kit. The arms and shoulders obviously have to change, but am I required to also swap out the head and forehead plate?

In War Room 2, is there a way to load two armies in Go To War mode and have the app handle dice rolls / stats / damage against models for you?

Around here, people have adopted Vassal. Haven't tried it myself, and the caution is "save every turn" because apparently it's prone to locking up.

So, after a long hiatus I decided to get back into Warmachine, and I'm starting to look at foam trays and cases as my lists approach being painted. What would you all recommend? I'd like to avoid dealing with battlefoam, if possible.

I use KR Multicase. Their stuff is overall quite good, some of the trays aren't as suited for the troop sizes they list them as which I think is just the reality of the model line and they have the absolute worst website but their customer support is top-notch so that ameliorates that somewhat.

Yeah, also, you can basically tear the kr foam in their multicases to for what you've got really well, and bodge stuff with the ripped out foam, which sounds kinda bad, but in practice is actually perfect because like, the alternative is only being able to carry a single big model type in that slot.

I bought a Battlefoam bag, mostly with pick'n'pluck trays, thank god. The laser cut tray I bought is basically unusable. The dimensions on the troop tray don't match the published specs.

Hey, so, would any circlebro's be able to help me out? In our DnD campaign, I'm playing an 'Arithmetic Golem', and wanna get a mini to represent him for combat. None of the stuff I can find online really strikes the right balance of 'fantasy' and 'not poo poo'. I always loved all the Wold models, but for some reason, I'm finding it really hard to find good pictures of them that show the scale / size of the minis? Anyone got any good shots? I'd dearly like to use a Wold Guardian, because it looks cool as all fuckin' get out, but I think it's probably too big? Any suggestions or photos much appreciated, thanks!

Warmachine has fixed base sizes, so you should be able to get a decent sense of its size based on any picture of a model. As a heavy warbeast, a Wold Guardian goes on a large (50 mm) base. I found this photo showing one posed next to Baldur, a (roughly) normal sized man small (30 mm) base:

Thanks, that's about the only useful one I've found, I'm trying to find one with a Wold Watcher too, because, while I think they look kinda goofy, if it's the right size I could like, mod it, but it's really hard to tell if they're scrawny or big or what? Like this guy looks perfect, but, I have no idea what it is or how big it is? It's weirdly hard to find out:

That's a somewhat converted Megalith. It's a heavy warbeast, on a large (50 mm) base. And it's a beefy one for that class. Woldwatchers are light warbeasts, they go on a medium (40 mm) base. Here's a picture showing those two with a Wold Warden (there's one of those in the previous picture for comparison):

Wold Watchers are on 40mm bases, so they're smaller than those guys but bigger than regular troops. Here is some random guy's army with a Watcher in the center. There are also Mannikins, which are more human-sized, but they look kind of like they are made from sticks and bundles rather than stone.

Maybe this isn't the right path then. Anyone happen to know of any cool (but not like 90's comic book cool) Golem mini's? The remit of 'Golem' is very broad.

Skip all foam and get a magnetic case. Tablewar is good but pricy, A-10 is alright. If you want to be thrifty, you can make your own for ~$10. I hate foam, it scratches paint off anything that isn't pure plastic. You're never done buying it either, you always need more as you get more or different armies. The only thing foam is good for is very tall models, or top-heavy models with small connections to their base, like stuff on flight stands. With magnetic transport, you can have 2 sheets you can re-use for any game or army you have. It is exceptional for transporting large quantities of infantry, as you can place them very near each other without worry.

Not sure exactly what you are going for; Reaper makes a variety of miniatures under 'golem', which vary from frankenstein monsters to iron and stone to scifi-like robot dudes. You could also look for some Warforged miniatures; they are basically the golem race from the Eberron DnD campaign world that might have the right look.

Thanks folks, I think I'm goona take a look at KR. I use to have an Army Transport case, but it looks like they've went in price and are no longer the bargain they once were. Setting up a magnet case is pretty much a no no for me.

Iron Crowned posted:I'm just curious as to why? Its a combination of things. The premade cases are way too pricy, and putting together a homemade case myself is a bit more than I have time for right now. But honestly, I know how to set up foam to my liking, and my paintjobs aren't good enough for me to go that extra mile to protect them from what's really a minor issue for me. (I think i see more damage from handling minis than foam scratching paint). I'd rather not risk loving up the magnetization of the bases, after seeing a buddy gently caress up the same thing, and he arrived at Lock'n'Load with a case full of smashed minis a few years back.

You can't gently caress up the magnetization of the bases without either being incompetent or an epic fail down the stairs. If you're into mini/wargaming as a hobby, magnets are always cheaper in the long run. You never can have enough foam, and large chunks of are either not useful or require you to insert extra foam to gap fill. It is a never ending hassle. Magnets are just so, so much better. I can fit a unit of 40 infantry in a 6x11x3 inch space. Try doing that with foam.
