Indeed

Can't imagine painting anything that big with a brush anymore

I painted all of mine with brushes. No airbrush for me

Same here

I think that the biggest thing I have painted without an airbrush was the conqueror worm from Hellboy

How has everyone gone about priming/painting the characters with the armoury kit? mainly interested in priming, do the pieces pop out easily enough post priming? Or do I need to have some kind of border or something to pevent it from sealing the piece on?

I primed them disassembled as there were regularly spots hard to get to otherwise

I have used liquid mask to protect the joints. in most cases, I just picked my favorite weapon and painted that one.

Airbrush certainly makes a lot of things easier, esp for the big minis

+1, painting all of them is a big waste of time Except for certain characters like mr handsome blade

The master of all weaponry

Only additional weapons I have painted are dual swords for a Blade, halbert for a Priest and I plan to paint dual swords for a Cur.

Injury card really mess up his stance a lot thought But he is still very fun to play with

Actually I have Blades of Chaos for an Exile and his standard dual axe. Ursus also has dual flails.

In most cases, we didnt have any injuries except for you know... I think his stances are not rewardind at all for how much fuss you need to do to make them work. I have given Shadowborne Games a huge feedback on Blade, and they are doing something for Blade for the 2nd print. Cant wait to try it out

Really? Free empower/redraw is okay, in some skill you can get full damage negation with the right stance, it is pretty good i think Our group put him as flex role and he can do it pretty well, of of his major problem is mobilities and expensive animus cost i think In my group our blade is 1 of the 2 survivor since first campaign (we are at chapter 12 now) and we play with the hardest difficulty, so yeah ma boi got a lot of injury and scars already lol

I was number 1 tank for my party too. Master parry is broken good. The main issue with stances is that they give you either something useless or they just give you something that other characters get by default. Try comparing him to the Warbear. Warbear is crazy good, it has pretty much everything, stronger defense on cards, party movement, big aoe attacks, board control, the ability to remove terrain... The Blade is pretty cool at the beginning with his versitility, but he falls off hard as soon as other characters start getting better versions of his cards and at a way cheaper cost.

At one moment you just find yourself moving for 2 and spending 4 on an attack that does something useless for that situation if you are in correct stance, while Warbear just cleared some minions, gave a party free movement or a token and hit boss for solid dmg, then taking the boss like its nothing.

Yeah i get your point, blade flashy move fall short in the later stage, and tbh other than the parry the new skill he get from lv up is not that hood anyway (seems good but most of them are just too expensive or situational)

Yeah, exactly

At least you live for negating like 26 dmg with master parry

But its okay, his handsome face made up for all the lack performance (this is what i always said to my group when they told me to retire him) 🤣

Eyes roll everywhere

hahahaa indeed

Stances are a really fun gimmick and they use the battleflow mechanic to the fullest

I had so much fun just brainstorming how to be in the proper stance every time

Agree with that, he may not be the strongest, bit he is so much fun, those flashy movement can grant you a bragging rights after the game, although everyone knows you are not the one who actually carry the game 🤣 (our witch are the heavy lifter in our group atm)

Yeah

It really feels like you are the entertainer in the arena

🤣🤣
