Cheers my man!!

Woo! Thank you my friend, I'm stoked you dig it!

Ha right?! That's the whole idea really. And... we're just getting started! Cheers friend

It's the same link as the V2, so if you revisit that document it will be updated!

Right now, there is no vinyl! It's just available to stream for the time being. Thanks for your support man!

Thank you! Please let me know if you do grab them

That's supper r fun, Ii should give a go at drawing some lil custom tokens too!

@malevminipainting4453 With you being all artistic and whatnot, I'm sure your hand drawn tokens will look better than my scribbles.

Hahah, thank you my man. I'm..... proud of it?

jus a lil tappy on the tip

Thank you my man! I really appreciate the support.

yoo, big thank you my man! After painting them, I really appreciated them a lot more.

Ah! Thank you for that man, I was stressing over the sound quality in parts haha. Learned a lot making this. Next one going to be even better!

My man. Thank you so much, what a legend. Stoked to have you in my corner!

Oh? What ps2 game are you turning into a board game??

@@malevminipainting4453 not sure if you recall the game MASHED ? car combat basically. its gone really well. I've ironed out loads of rules and the game works brill now. I'm also working on a toy soldiers game too.

@@aaronwilkinson2519 That's way fun, I haven't heard of that game. I had to look it up! Glad to hear it's turning out

@@malevminipainting4453 ah awesome, yeah i spent many hours playing this game in my younger days :D like soo much time wasted haha....well i say wasted but not really :D

@@aaronwilkinson2519 ha! It's so interesting to think back like that. Because you really begin to understand how formative those things were. So much of what I do today directly correlates to the time I spent alone as a little kid playing with toys and using my imagination. I'm quite literally doing the same thing.

That's awesome my friend, it says something about this kit that its' inspiring in such a similar way. I feel it though, the trade off for painting miniatures with the weapons attached is that you have to paint more! With the expansion weapons for the game now, it's actually a total of 13 models!

Big love! I'm glad you was feeling it!

Thanks so much my friend. I am stoked you are inspired!! For a Kroot Box, you know what sounds neat? a group of kroot trying to take out a spread out group of guards at the same time. It's essentially a mini game about taking the guards out stealthily. That sounds fun!

You would

Holy smokes! I've never seen that. It's so sick. That's also hilarious considering the conversation I was having with the CEO of Steve Jackson games this morning!

PHIL MY MAN. You're in the zone. You get it. So hyped reading your words, and funnily enough so much of your thoughts align with mine and the first update for the game is dropping tomorrow and has a lot of those features! I wrote a bit about it on my Patreon, it's a free post if you wanna peep. I appreciate the comment, hell yeah expand on them joints

Ayyyyyyyy, big love my friend. Can I just say that I have already purchased and built that Foot Knights kit! haha, great minds think alike. I'm excited to show off more about that project. ;)

@@AnhkGuy haha cheers my man!

Thank you!

Cheers! Stoked to hear that. Check out the worksheet too and let me know if that is any use? I plan to try and make it better and better.

@@malevminipainting4453 Yeah absolutely, the worksheet is useful. It helps with getting the story straight before you start. I've got it on my desktop partially filled out!

Yess, it looks SO COOL. Do you think you could make a more 'orange tinted' version of the walls?? I'd love to download and make some of my own with your stuff.

Thank you! That's what I'm talking about. You could be blasting by tonight! The document I feel is in a really good place.

Ha! That sounds like a fun lil kitbash project. And, thank you my man! I think the game is at a good spot right now, if you want to build 5 and give it a try!

Cheers my man, I appreciate the thoughtful and insightful comment! I am not sure where I miscommunicated persay, because your comment reads very in support of the things in which I'm talking about. The point that I'm trying to make is also that there is nothing wrong with being creative, and that we can play/make our *own* games however we'd like! You're not wrong though, I do like smaller scale miniatures games. But I like to design miniatures solo games. And that being the case, painting up 50+ miniatures isn't going to help. But I don't have anything *against* other designs or desires, just have a preference for what I personally go for in my solo designs. I'd love to design a mass combat big battle game.

Big love my friend! I am pleased you enjoyed it. 🙌 That Einherjar kit is pretty interesting, another one I've overlooked

That's a fun one! It makes me think that about an idea i had for saving colorschemes, you'd paint them on CD's and then let em dry - then save them in CD binders like back in the day.

Cheers! I'm actually kinda interested in making something with Army mens

Legendary comment my friend, thanks so much! I am really pleased to hear it. Working with the limitations is a form of 'going with the flow' and it can be really rewarding.

OH SNAP. American Gladiator style death contest, now we're talking! I can see in between 'rounds' of this game, the convict has to just for entertainment purposes also navigate a deadly obstacle course to get to the next arena. Lmao I think we got something here

@@malevminipainting4453 YES! And "entertainment" makes me think of a popularity mechanic that can give the convict improved starting gear or in-round bonuses. Because I love campaign mechanics 😆

Ohhhh!! Haha that is way fun. There is a part of the game round where I am thinking there could be a whole 'arena event' table that has a lot of different options happen. Crowd favorites and return stars seems pretty fun to mess about with!

Yooo, thank you my friend, I'm really pleased that you dig it. I'm already thinking of how to make the next one better and more informative, and I'm also excited to show off some cool mats too ya know.

Big love my man. People like you remind me of why it's so great doing this. Can't wait to hang out again

So kind Alice, thank you! I am really pleased to have your eyes on the project.

Yess! Thanks for stopping by my friend. The game is fun! I'm making active changes to the document still, but we're getting there

Pets, thank you my friend, glad you enjoyed it!

Also, your FLGS rules! What a great minis selection.

nah for real real, I slept on it in the beginning but now I have a lot of ides to use them for!

Cheers friend. I came home with that accessory sprue from the flgs last night! I'm totally thinking of implementing some rules for it in the game! It has some fun bits on it.

Thank you so much for the insightful comment my man, yes! I will absolutely dig into what you've suggested, I'm unfamiliar with most you've mentioned.

Hear hear! This was my early gamer life, English magazines with one-shot/scenario rules in each issue that my mates and I would hack to let us play a different way. Cardboard counters and hand-written rules of our own devising - gamers free and in control of our own experience. I slipped out of that life for a couple of decades, lured by the pretty models and glossy propaganda and product catalogue James Workshop dangled before me - but I'm returning to my game-punk roots now, rediscovering the joys of making stuff with my hands and what passes for my brain. Long live open-source, support the indies, and just make your own stuff!

Big ups my man, I am right there with you!

Yoo, thank you my friend! You've really inspired me with this comment to make other tokens, that which are labeled as convicts and things so that you can simply play this game with token pieces if that's preferred. No purchasing of miniatures is really a requirement!

Thanks my friend for the kind comment, I'm pleased you dig the concept!

@@malevminipainting4453 I'm thinking of making a game like this. I think commercial Wargames are escalating when it comes to cost, amount of work, units and terrain etc. Not every one has the amount of disposable income + free time to paint 90 minis, build a 4x4 foot terrain set and has a friend circle of 6 people for each faction.

I the concept is solid. You have to use the terrain and perks strategically to defeat the opponent. Trying to avoid a fair playing ground. But you also have to balance out for the opponent once you get a perk or bonus, maybe some sort of "commando point" or simply having to remain a complete turn on the perk to get it etc.

I am totally with you there. That's honestly the main driving force for me to make miniatures gams that are played primarily solo!

@@malevminipainting4453 "driving force for me to make miniatures gams that are played primarily solo!" That's why I got myself into Five Parsecs From Home. It's a neat concept, I also liked that you played around 6 vs 6. But the table heavy outside skirmish game kind of demotivated me. He should have made a small board game overworld or space travel like in Faster Than Light (the Indie Game) or in Fallout the BoardGame with the HexGrid, but fights are skirmishes. Thinking about modelling something like this myself.

Oh! I'm all ears. Would that mean we'd have to change the actions being tied to dice? Or do you mean perhaps that certain actions should cost different action points costs?

@@malevminipainting4453 actions being tied to dice. hm, that would be an interesting concept. I am making my own ruleset to play with my niece and nephew. It uses action points as dice pool, each action point is either die or an inch movement. The skill + weapon describes dice or limit of dice you have/can take out the action pool. I have a free form magic system that works with limits. etc.

@@malevminipainting4453 mana, endurance/action points could be a dice pool limit. What I'm also looking at for a wargame is D20 and default Target Value is 10 (50% chance), from there on things can be modded up and down, skills and obstacles, resistance etc. If the opponent rolls an opposed roll, you roll against their skill+bonus+mods etc. But you can't do "action points = amount of dice (including damage cap".

That sounds really cool! And, I am also pretty keen on using the d20 in a design sometime. I'm sooo not used to the swing of a d20 every time I use one it can feel like I roll low for agesss

@@malevminipainting4453 "I'm sooo not used to the swing of a d20 every time I use one it can feel like I roll low for agesss" Yeah D20 can become swingy, because of the random range. But you can balance it out properly so mods and skill play a bigger roll.
