Quotes (from this video)
- The idea behind 3D printing is that I can go onto my minifactory and find a really weird specific interesting to me type of model that probably wouldn't sell well out in the real world if it was made in plastic
- We're not constantly line goes up up because not only do we have no shareholders we have to make happy we also don't have to do this this isn't our day job
- it's the more Choice um I don't really think it's actually about saving money
- the point of the game is to try and crawl to the highest spot so there's a lot of rules for pushing people off of things and falling off of things and stuff like that and climbing and things like that
- but they were a lot of fun to paint and they were very interesting and whatnot

Quotes (from this video)
- please explain painting Optical camouflage on spaceships I know rule of cool I don't know it just looked neat I guess that's the same thing
- all the stls that you buy or whether you buy the stuff through uh only games like if you get them printed like if you don't have a printer yourself they can do print on demand as well with those with those same six figures basically it's a 50/50 split
- it's literally you take off the little silicone kind of cover that goes over the whole nozzle thing so you don't burn yourself on it I guess you take that off you pop off the plastic thing there's a little clip little metal clip you uncp it and then you pull the nozzle out and the nozzle is magnetized so it doesn't like fall out as soon as you uncp it
- I saw a thing on Facebook about a machine that you just dump all your old pla into and it'll melt it all down and then create a new pla spool which I'm like well that sounds like an awesome idea
- I think they're that scared of 3D printing I think they don't want to do it
- I don't think that's really that's not the point is to to beat Games Workshop
- you create a game like Vince and I do or like fat dragon games does or like lots of different companies you create a game because you want to do it you're not out there to be like the best you're out there to put out a game that you enjoy and then hopefully people will pick up and enjoy as well

Quotes (from this video)
- the future of wargaming is going and what steps toward that future we're already seeing
- making games is hard especially Miniatures war games
- a game isn't successful if no one can get it
- 3D printing miniatures from digital STL files is kind of like printing rulebook pages on your paper printer at home from your PDF files
- most of the game companies out there especially the biggest one uh seem to kind of avoid the 3D print printing space completely
- because of the internet and Technology specifically 3D printer technology we're starting to see a new kind of war game emerging
- The difference was night and day the second batch printed a lot slower with the tiny nozzle which kind of makes sense but I mean like three to four times slower right but the detail was considerably higher
- this is doing is it is selling you a more complete package than just a wargaming rule book or just some random Miniatures to use in whatever rule set you decide on
- you will begin to see smaller Indie developers releasing more kind of complete package games like Battlefront Valkyrie

Quotes (from this video)
- it's so over complicated a lot of good ideas but terrible to play
- the models look really good but um it's also not cheap I swear to God I saw the retail on it for that starter box was like 150 bucks
- because you can now get a pretty decent looking print we can make more stuff like that
- I used to play silent death back in the day which was a game made by a company called iron Crown Enterprises we used to play the heck out of that
- it was definitely very kind of complicated as well but at the time being a younger person I enjoyed it quite a bit
- I don't know if I'm not sure if Vince has played ship combat games I have
- I use an iada uh Eclipse uh iada hpcs I think is the technical uh model name or whatever and I've always loved that thing it works great
- why you wouldn't have Federation versus Klingon AR Romulan as the starter factions in any Star Trek game it makes no logical sense to me
- so I was really hoping they were going to do something different with um with the new version and when they sent me like the copy and I was started reading the rules and stuff I was just like oh this is pretty much just the same
- there's a zillion charts in that game
- it was a little fiddly but not too fiddly
- I do wonder if making Star Trek games fairly complicated is part of knowing Their audience as a trekky I can safely say we tend to like that kind of crunch and the complexity
- I don't want to play too much crunch these days you know what I mean
- CPS speed paint through the airbrush on the bottom terrain is the goat indeed
- I made a video about how to make it so your airbrush never clogs again and I'm 98% sure I made that video
- I have never had a clog in my airbrush in a decade at this point
- hard to believe silent death was from the same company I mean probably different people obviously you know but yeah silent death sheets a bit like hero clicks whereas you take damage
- the tabletop minions Awards will be coming out on Friday so less than a week away tabletop minions awards for 2024
