“Crossfire” implies both sides were shooting. I see no evidence that anyone was shooting *except* the cops.

We’re working up ideas on what to do for our next unit now that we’re getting our skills less rusty, but I need to be able to translate it down to battle armor.

My group’s current friendly-unit paint scheme is ‘primer gray with a left arm and/or leg with the pilot’s choice of color’ for the Van Zandt Free State Freebooters, Group W (aka: Guthrie’s Brigade, aka: the bench warmers).

Literally army green primer, brown stripe, brighter green counter-stripe, and then a dark wash. Can get 24 done and sealed in a 4-hour session (starting when the primer is dry).

Yeah, that further process really does help.
Here’s one of mine for my ‘OpFor’ set. The paint scheme is optimized for fast production so I can get as many different units done as possible in the limited time I have to paint.

These are great. Any chance the Buccaneer Mech or Kage battle armor are on your list of art to update to the modern style?

The irony of good camo is that it’s hard to get a good photo of the end result. Good job on both.

I’m trying to fill out my collection, and just discovered Sunstone: Mercy. Is it an extension of Sunstone (which I have issues 1-5), or a separate series?

You can keep flailing. I’ll keep laughing at how desperately stupid and terrified of reality you’re showing yourself to be.

The dumbest part of your post is that, no matter how hard the writer of that Vox article *tried* to paint Biden as a warmonger (and he tried *hard*), none of the facts, or quotes, he mustered for that purpose paid off.

There were literally thousands of games. Most people who had consoles had dozens of them.
The fact that you’re not good at a game doesn’t make it ‘bad’.
There were *definitely* objectively bad games out there. You do t even have to go looking all that hard for them.
CV1 & Metroid aren’t them.

Betraying and alienating our allies will do nothing to “ensure our nation’s security and prosperity”. Quite the opposite.

Isn’t it amazing how the proponents of “wrong-bad-fun” can never just acknowledge that opinions differ, and must insist that any opinion that disagrees with their own is somehow invalid?

The justification is that there are four times as many sheets (of the same size) as in the ‘regular’ size roll. Neither roll is 4-ply.

They still exist, though.

All that’s changed is that the rolls are more tightly wound, meaning they fit better on standard fixtures.
