BattleTech Miniatures / Recommendations for a matte finish protectant/sealer?
« Last post by Hammerhead on Today at 18:38:32 »I’ve been knocking the rust off and getting back into painting recently, and was wondering if anyone uses and/or has a favourite matte finish? Something pretty tough to protect them? Does such a thing exist?
Forgive my newbness. Plz. 🙏🏼

« Last post by Ghaz on Today at 18:29:11 »Ah duh. I only checked Alliance and PHD
I’m guessing the change was within the past year?
No idea as I just look at the product names and not the item code, but I just remembered that Universal Distribution has public catalogs, and the entire catalog for Catalyst Game Labs starts with the CAT prefix.
Alliance started keeping their catalogs behind an account password sometime in the late '90's or early '00's if I remember correctly. This was back when Games Workshop was still only doing monthly (or bimonthly) releases and the upcoming releases would often show up on Alliance before GW had even announced it themselves. I imagine GW didn't like that...

Clan Chatterweb / Re: Touman sizes
« Last post by cmerwin on Today at 18:06:13 »Being a solahma is like institutionalized survivor guilt. Your sibkin and trothkin have died, you have survived somehow. If that's on the back of a bloodname and success that's one thing. But if you haven't achieved those things then it doesn't look like as impressive a feat
This! All of this. And as a solahma you have utterly failed: you have failed to get promoted, you have failed to earn a bloodname, and you have failed to die.
Nice points about the median versus the average. And even there we have to ask whether it is Clans wide? The first several generations of Nova Cat khans pushed (or exceeded) their hundreds, which would really mess up the averages for the rest of the Nova Cats if that is the case.

This, I did not know.
Mayhap will be making another order at IWM, for these and a couple more Shadow Hawk’s.
Maybe one or two others.
