"Later"
Are you using front loaded initiative?
@@craiglytton1641 no, doing it the standard way and at the end of the turn basically
Where is the mat from, Justin? Great fun as always!
@@plkangus Table War, Urban Zone is the mat name I believe.
Thanks!
Interesting indeed. I can see two things wrong with it though, in this iteration (which, I suppose is a prototype?) - first of all you don't print handles like this. It would easily break. In fact, handles are usually an example on how not to align layers, for that reason. Easy fix though. The second problem might be bigger. How do you keep paint from getting into the gears and thus blocking them at some point sooner or later? Sure, having your finger on the one in the middle might work, but what about the others? And spray paint gets everywhere, while working. There's no way to "just take good aim" or something. I wouldn't want to have to mask them every time.
@@Vortagh I’m not worried about the structural integrity, I’d be more worried about the gears but we’ll see how that actually pans out. Given a lot of the air brushing I do from the top angles I don’t think it’ll actually get access to the internal mechanisms easily. I’m going into this optimistic though as it is a new take on a paint handle and k appreciate the approach to innovation. We’ll see!
@@Thearmedpainter I'm very worried about structural integrity, because it is also a very very thin stem at one point and I have had my share of breakages with my prints over the years. I think adding a steel rod would be a good idea. About the gears, if it's mostly from the top, maybe some sort of "thumb dome" that slightly over extends over the gears, might be enough.
Interesting item, to be sure!
Bracing my fingers really helped me a lot. Thanks for the advice
You make great vids bud.
I’m new to BT and I love classic but not played alpha yet. I started with the beginner box with the Vindicator then got GOAC and CI after. Now I have the proliferation cycle and the urbies! Binged Tex Talks and so on. I think the other boxes have great value compared to most games especially if it’s classic you want to learn which was the case for me. I plan on getting Alpha not for the game but the mechs with an option to play alpha if I feel like it. This box is amazing and perfect for getting players into a game and other companies should learn from BT and I thought the other boxes were good to begin with. Catalysts whole approach for getting beginners into the series is something other games should try to emulate.
Looking good. I assume those were done with oil paints?
There is an oil wash step but the rest is acrylics.
apf! wowwww👏👏👏
i am my own third party 3d printer :D
Printer vs designer is a different thing lol. If you’re also making designs though that’s the 3rd party stuff I’m referring to.
@@Thearmedpainter hehe, true true... I love catalyst's stuff but there's just so much out there. I'm like the freakin' cookie monster, but for battletech... "C is for classic, it's good enough for me!"
"...have this in the background while you get your hobby on." 👍 I wish i didnt like clan wolfs schemes as much as i do. Or that they werent such an obnoxious faction 😂 beta galaxy does look real cool though
The Awesomest! I'm still trying to finish the Davion Battlemaster, but the stripes terrify me.
They look great! I'd love to be able to paint like that
You can 100% do what I’m showing here :) nothing fancy and super easy. When the tutorials comes out that’ll help a bit.
I enjoy your content. Don’t focus on the numbers of YT too much. I always say if it brings you joy, do it. I, for one, do enjoy your channel and wish we could play Alpha Stirike against one another sometime. I’m tired of losing to my kids and need to lose against someone else lol. Thanks for sharing what you do.
This is great!
awesome looking mechs as always.
I like the green what color is that. I'd like to use that green on my king crabs
I’ll have them listed when the tutorial comes out ;)
Like this channel and hope to enter the giveaways
Hopefully I can win the giveaway🙏 also look forward to seeing them fighting it out in AS!
Ah yes, the Blakist Jamboree.
i could never make marik or liao look cool. So mostly i stick with Taurian Concordant.
Hello, love the videos very helpful for us new guys. Does the IF3 is that a +modifier to hit or a -? Or is it a plus for damage?
For IF you take a +1 penalty for indirect and a further +1 if your spotter also shoots.
@@Thearmedpainter Wow thank you for the quick response! I noticed that some mechs have an IF2 is that for damage or a -2 modifier? I apologize thats my last question
fantastic tutorial!!! , can i please ask for an a lagoon blue equivalent?
I’d likely recommend using a thinned down speed paint or contrast paint to in place of the blue on the tutorial to achieve the color you’d like :)
Shame CGL did not fix the quality of the GoAC minis, what a wasted chance.. They could have arranged that with the factory for sure, instead of making pre-painted mini that most are going to repaint, and that useless joke that is urbie lam
Commenting for the algorithm!
Where can I find that terrain mat?
Table War - Urban Zone
@@Thearmedpainter Thanks brother.
Oh. A suggestion/request for a future video: Can you do a tutorial on how to best remove flash on CGL Battlemechs? I've been painting them since 2019 and I still struggle... °sighs° Sometimes I think I got it all, I prime the mini and some janky fissure or two jump out at me. :-/
I'd suggest a sharp knife, to cut and scrape, then treat with soft sand paper. And if you're painting them anyway, fill the defects with Milliput, it's sandable. Hope that helps :)
I’ve got this jotted down on my list of videos to try to tackle :) though you’re not alone, cleaning their mold lines is a pain in the butt.
Support for one of the view creators who do amazing Battletech stuff. :)
leaving a comment to support this content creator
Sounds good!
Looking forward to more videos.
Obviously you can go to dollar tree and spend a dollar twenty five on sanding sticks
Or order them online, which I have, short of context on the specific part of the video you’re talking about though I’m not sure what type of reply you’d be looking for. I also don’t have every video I’ve made memorized so context is important. I do these in my free time as essentially a hobby right now (I don’t promise tutorials to patrons because of the time investment) if I was being paid to make tutorials the polish would likely be different but as it stands, I do the best I can with the time I am able to allocate. Hopefully you find something useful from these videos. If not, plenty of other creators on UA-cam that are likely doing a better more professional job :)
Always meant to give Aces a shot, but never got around to it. Thanks for the video! Were you using the beta rules for PUG's and Tournament play?
Yup, I don’t have access to anything new for ACES rules wise unfortunately.
Thank you for the explanation on game play.
Thank you for leaving a comment! :)
Are these Tourneys' just "buy-in" kinda thing? or does it have to be on Invite or what? I just recently learned there was a Battletech Circut for tournaments!!! I know right?! I'd LOVE to try my Luck and skill at another tournament.
Both Northern and Southern Assault are first come first serve paid tournaments. NA is at NOVA Open in Virginia and SA is here in North Carolina.
Just found this channel and getting ready for my Kickstarter stuff! Excited to be here! Love the content!
Love your Videos, even if I am sometimes a bit particular with CBT Stuff
I'm most certainly used to that with CBT players :) I'm glad you enjoy the videos! I'd like to do more CBT for channel as well, just hard to get a counterpart on who can walk my noobie self through the rules lol!
You miss the point that the other boxes have parts of the Battletech Rules in it, here you only have AS. You pretty much need both if you want to play CBT,but then you have 16 IS Mechs 10 Clan Mechs
All of my videos are generally from the AS perspective. I don’t do much with classic.
@@Thearmedpainter if it is only the Number of Minis you are right with the comparison, but the CBT boxes come with maps and Rules too. Therefore the price is ok if you compare a mapset price. Plus you can convert AS to Hex too and CBT to " I love your Videos but your compared Apples and Oranges here imho. As your forgot to mention why the CBT box is a bit more expensive. I just bought myself the Box for CBT usage (Gimme that Wraith!) The thing is: If you only play AS this Box is the cheapest, but i guess i am not the only CBT Player who watches, and new CBT players need the other boxes, due to the rules in it, if they don't allready have Total Warfare 😊
@@Thearmedpainterbtw where do yu get the CBT Battlefield Support cards?
I tend to use guitar strings (unless you have don’t have a guitar you’re doing well)😮
You can put the aces cards, under the unit data cards, rather than on the table. You don’t need tokens
You just need to cut your units data card out to seperate them on the printed page
@@brycie35 given how little time I have and how rushed we usually are trying to get things done, cutting cards out isn’t likely to occur. It’s a good idea for anyone who has the extra time but usually, behind the camera, we are prepping to film 3 straight games and have loads of stuff stacked up. With tokens it would be a “make them once cry once” sort of situation where I wouldn’t need to cut out my unit cards every game. I just haven’t had time to design something yet.
Fun Video Justin, I love unboxing stuff... I have one question though - Should i buy, on ebay a "Catalyst Game Labs 3500B BattleTech: Introductory Box Set" ?- I have the Alpha Box and some misc metal I just received :). It would seem top have a lot of decent mechs. Hi from Minnesota!
I would recommend the A Game Of Armored Combat box over the old intro set personally. The newer plastics are much better :) I have unboxing of pretty much all of the new plastic boxes on the channel except the new Star League one, I haven’t gotten that one filmed yet ;)
Hi , 1. The Wolfhound is Not jump capable, thats the Panther he was designed to hunt Hound 6/9 Panther 4/6/4 2. The Panther has the PPC, Wolfhound Large Laser, Nightsky Large Pulse
Hello! I just recently started learning alpha strike. Why do you get to roll so many dice for your attacks? Is it 1 set of dice per weapon firing?
Correct, it’s the multiple damage rolls rules listed in the book under optional rules. It’s essentially the standard that Alpha Strike is played with in most groups otherwise really low skill high damage units just one shot everything.
I've been trying to reverse engineer this card, im close but I can't seem to get some details right.
