For me I'd love to see as many different or new parts/models as people have time, energy or inclination to produce. On the topic of the big guns a 1:1:1 ratio works for me as they can either be proxies, or it allows for some custom rules (plus a base of 3 looks the right number)

If magnetization was possible (say with 1/16 thick magnets) then 1:1:1

I am OCD. Although why stop at 1? Surely 4 more and a platform would make a lovely sprue to magnetize things with.

I'd like to poll the opinion of the community on something, with regards to the 3 big gun variants. Even though there are only rules for one of the variants, I personally want models of all three in rough equal amounts.
But, I was wondering what the rest of you (the ones that are interested in acquiring these big guns) thought. Should I produce equal numbers of each type [1:1:1 ratio], or should I produce more of the one type that has rules [2:1:1 or 3:1:1 or whatever]?


Much like the standard grav platforms, I like a varied look, so although only one has distinctive rules, I'd prefer an even ratio. If I was particularly bothered about uniformity, I'd probably get three sets and spread them evenly amongst Guardian hosts!

I'm sorry, what was the question? :D

Shuriken Cannon heavy weapon Grav platforms would be great :)

I heard from Mr. Boyce today and there is a chance that the bronzes might be done in about a week. Of course, he also indicated that he may have to reprint the parts due to a problem with a new print nozzle, but he wasn't going to know until the support matrix had dissolved.

I guess we'll see which it is. I am hopeful.

I hear tell that the bronze parts should be in the mail to me by tomorrow. Hopefully they will get to me by the end of the week.

As for the rules for the various weapons, let me collect all my thoughts on the matter and post them all together. Of course, I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about that matter.

You and me both.

Tracking confirms the parts are in transit. I must now wait patiently - they probably won't arrive until Friday.

Stop copying me or I'll have to snap my rubberband again.

I like all Space Elf Stuff. Ratios are meaningless to me since I have no real defined plan for buying them. My purchase would be strictly impulsive and gratuitous.

To be clear, all the parts are either on a warmaster base (40mmx20mm) or a 60mm titan base.

All in all, I'm VERY pleased with how everything turned out, but there were a couple issues.

I'm going to upsize the sure-I-can because it looks too small compared to the other guns. Also, there was a minor snafu with the tank gun (which I purposely didn't show above) - the gun part as made doesn't have the turret connection nub on both sides like it should (so the same part can fit on either side of the turret). So, I'm looking at doing up a couple more parts before anything else happens.
