@mage The Minotaurs are coming along well. Let’s see Chaos done just as well in the future since you’re killing it with these guys.

@sundancer The pain of car repair and the impact its gotta have right now is palpable. We’re here to vent/winge

@robert Good to get the memory kicked about for BB. I’m playing through the early version before the current developers made the most recent edition. Same game, not as good a graphics, still fun. With the timeframe as it is I think that I won’t have much painted after these Eldar before I move. We’ll see though.

@woldenspoons Good to have your two cents on the topic. Its a little bit much like Daleks once you got to the technology ethics. Note to self: Don’t give woldenspoons the nuke codes or the Big Red Button.

@dawfydd I’d say that @sundancer is right about the firmness of plastics. You’re familiar with the capabilities of GW plastic which I think is probably ABS or styrene (likely the former).

Privateer Press uses, what I think, is a resin/plastic mix in order to get the detail level out of their stuff. The thing is that they have that dreaded plastic/metal mix in some of their kits. It has a little bit of flex but generally more durable that resin if you drop it.

Reaper is using a nylon base for their Bones line which is slowly getting changed over to the Reaper Black. The new material seems to be the stuff they make their CAV line from judging from the photos and having seen it creep into the line before the official announcement. It looks durable and feels better than the older stuff. I don’t know exactly what it is but it works better as their company (and likely large warehouse) sits in the high Texas heat of summer.

@tuffyears Egh! More small scale stuff. I give you the thumbs up on the Tanks purchase. It is a fine game for the scale that allows for little need to be careful with camouflage.
