I believe they're PVC, haven't run into any detailed views into them but so far there haven't been any complaints I've spotted, but could be a thing of less volume of orders so far

OPR fans are such casual fags they won't have any complaints about quality. They're awful to deal with because they're so obsessed with being the casual warhammer and any sort of complexity makes them cry for a week until it's reverted.

Nobody played TC and they still is eons of people bitching about quality, im just keeping an eye out because the contrast is fascinating regardless of how retarded the fanbase might be

Never mind, I'm going to build my own homebrew, with blackjack and hookers!

theres a couple neat little projects rising up, ive heard good things about Oathmark as far as Rank and Flanks go, its in the same bubble of projects as the skirmish sized Frost/Stargrave, Some simpler heartbreakers like the Space/Sword Weirdos shit is an okay little system. The umbrella projects of the 9th age are fan attempts to recreate the vibes of WHFB with less jank. Not everything is LGS unfriendly depending on the types of products that they sell, unlike say, OPR or TC. If you want to get TTRPG players into Wargames then the Five Leagues/Parsec systems are decent little things, same with Rangers of Shadowdeep
Everything relies on friends and likeminded groups, but in spite of the mainstream spitting you in the face you can still find nuggets of gold or play 30+ year old shit that still works and is fun as people have said, there are archived rules encyclopedias of things like Laserburn, 40k 2nd Ed. or even Chainmail

All seriousness, I know there's gems out there and more that really deserve more of an audience than they have.

People keeping talking up the 5 Parsecs From Home, and I've groused about picking up it's more military oriented spin off (Bug Hunt).

Historical pill at this rate

I'm not opposed to historical games. Hell, it was historical games that got me into mini's gaming in the first place (still have my old Historicon event pamphlets) with my 25mm samurai. Still have those adorable poorly painted little guys. It's just I don't think I can devote the space and money to a meaningful investment in them unless I somehow managed to sell off every sci fi/post apoc/gothic horror figure, board game and terrain I have.

OPR is really LGS friendly. Everything you can buy from GW will slot into OPR.

How did we become the old men playing games from their youth and historicals? I realize I'm not the fat old dude who grumbles how much better things were in my day or plays niche systems no one else cares about. I might even pick up Battletech at this rate.

Play historicals.

Nobody will even bat an eye at an SS army. Just make sure the Kar98 is the K variant and the shells on the base aren’t for a different type of field cannon because that’s the affront to god and grounds to get you banned.

Look at my name, baby :D I've already got a fairly adaptable Deadzone force to mix and match and all the faction's named characters. Wouldn't need a whole lot more (mostly plague soldiers) for a proper Firefight army.

Again, if I didn't have space, investment concerns AND I thought I could reliably find another soul to do it on the regular with, I'd happily start rebuilding Ia Naotaka's Red Devils and get back into Sengoku Jidai skirmish or mass battle.

Though even if I did Dubya Dubya 2, I would probably do Soviets or France just so I can stuff it with irregulars and partisan troops, which is a kind of unit I love painting. Rabble units have always had a special place in my heart. Hell, I even did up a Bolt Action unit of Worker's Militia just to use them with other stuff.

First impressions look at the OPR box set from someone who seems to be a genuine backer and not some sort of shill (he is pretty biased towards OPR, but i meant that he isnt sponsored)


TL;DW the quality is pretty solid and there were no bent pieces, seems to be of a softer plastic than regular sprue models (some pieces are bendable and they include a guide on how to straighten bent pieces) but they seem to be about as detailed as their resin STL counterparts (from my observation), Only issue is that it seems like its meant for true uber noobs so no assembly required including the big pieces, so some of those are a bit janky to paint. the accoutrements that were included (tokens, dice, cards etc) were all of good quality.

Im going to have a slight chuckle if a random portuguese furry who got around 500k does better quality products than the industry veterans at TC who got 5 million
