Ciaphas Cain's father View Thread Reply Doris Wavinglut - Wed, 15 Nov 2017 11:48:38 EST /OzOUEd8 No.28691 File: 1510764518048.jpg -(16557B / 16.17KB, 235x245) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Kal Jerico is, in all likelyhood Ciaphas Cain's father. He's the governor's son-turned-bounty hunter, who got hitched to an Inquisitor. Usually the schola progenium doesn't pick up underhive rats and send them off to be Commissars (as is noted in the books by Amberley Vail) so he had to have been born to someone important. Cain himself notes he was born on a hive world, and his uncle (I think his uncle) was a bounty hunter. He doesn't name the world he was born on, citing he doesn't actually know.I'd say it's a pretty solid theory, what about you?

Painting miniatures (and Battletech) View Thread Reply Hide Reuben Blorryfuck - Fri, 08 Sep 2017 10:11:28 EST cy0rSMET No.28633 File: 1504879888949.png -(93723B / 91.53KB, 410x448) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. I decided to start painting miniatures as a hobby to rebuild dexterity in my hands and decided on Battletech so I purchased a few mechs from Iron Winds (an Atlas II, Ymir, Lu Wei Bing, Anubis, and an Osiris). My first question is what are all the tools am I gonna need for assembly? So far I was gonna buy an exacto knife, files, and a diagonal cutter. Any super glue work for this or do I need to purchase some special stuff like citadel sells? What am I missing? Also recommendations on brush sets and paint/primer brands would be appreciated.This first time I kind of just bought what I wanted to paint but if I decide to keep going I think next purchase I want to put together a fieldable lance on the chance I decide to actually play. So anyone with experience in BT, any suggestions as far as building an assualt lance around some of the mechs I already purchased? >> Edward Dacklepud - Sat, 09 Sep 2017 06:45:16 EST ycIjzbvX No.28638 Reply >>28633Super glue is super glue. If they're metal figurines any super glue will do. Just make sure you get a brand with a good applicator and reasonable price. If you're using HDP then poly cement is the shit you need.

Just thinking.I know the whole "adventure party" tradition is ripped from Lord Of The Rings, and The Fellowship Of The Ring was that size to try and sneak past the Ork armies and monsters into Mordor, but it just seems odd to have all these 5/6-strong variegated mini-gangs tromping around looking for caves and unexplored underground labyrinths. Just spontaneously forming in taverns and heading out to the nearest underground structure and just assuming it's going to be full of monsters and loot instead of fucking bats and bat shit.I mean that size party isn't much good for anything except bodyguarding, courier work, and banditry, really. Are there really any historical or fantasy parallels to the RPG party before Tolkien? There were Sindbad's crews, but they were pretty much expressly redshirts. I guess even within Tolkien there was the Dwarf party that Bilbo accompanied, but that wasn't exactly a "party", more a "band", like the Vikings in Eaters Of The Dead. With a Band you can get things done, especially a homogeneous one, like a pack of Arthur's kniggits, or Charlemagne's paladins. The ragtag party isn't much good for anything but exploration, and they're just lucky that every dungeon is basically unguarded, with security depending on local wildlife wandering in and eating adventurers, and the occasional trap which must have to be reset every time a cave horse or a cave elk steps on one. I guess the wildlife running into the traps is what feeds the Orc guards. Considering they never seem to just buy some goddamn food from the local town, apart from maybe raiding a farm or two. So that explains why they leave to door open and unguarded, so the things wander in. Although it would make more sense to set the traps outside. 1 posts omitted.
