I am quite pleased with it.
>>11737252Dunno what it is but it looks cool
>>11737252I keep meaning to get one of these to check the articulation out. How dynamic can they get? >>1173741630mm (Thirty Minute Mission) bandai kit. Setting agnostic, they have a fantasy line and a longer running sci fi one.
>>11737435the articulation is good, and I got a stand for it, I am also getting these but I have to wait a while. I thought I might not like it but upon getting it and building it I AM QUITE PLEASED WITH IT. I WILL PROBABLY GET MORE. BASED AXE KNIGHT.
op here I am getting another portinova, a liber knight, and a gardonova my new obsession.
>>11737252I'm on the fence about adding the necromancer the the skeletons to my collection at some point. they're still just in pre-order, right?
>>11737809correct both still haven't released yet. although honestly the rosan wizard looks like more of a necromancer than the upcoming one.
>>11737714>portanovaMight as well get the full armor version when it's available. It just came out in Japan, should hit US retailers in a couple months or so.>>11737840>rosan wizard looks like more of a necromancer than the upcoming oneBecause it's a Necro Knight and not a proper 'mancer I guess.
>>11737252>>11737496>>11737714These damn things are like candy, I have a small army of the 30mm ones and built (literally) and Adventuring Party out of the 30mf stuff. I got a set of skeletons and the wyvern on pre-order and just ordered the tan spartan with accessory set, the monk and the samurai today. Might get more of the base spartan figure to flank the boss one while the other two work as a duo of assassins to harass my party. Still waiting on an add on kit for my mage, who I still have to build, but the rest of the party is the Warrior (pic related), the Ranger and a rogue made from a 30mm Acerby type B. I also have a Dark Paladin as the leader of the bad guys (which will be the skeletons, one of the Megalomaria Goblins and the Spartan dudes). My only real complaints about the kits is that 1) I wish the Warrior's expansion armor was red, not brown and 2) I wish their weapons had square handles not round. The grips of their hands aren't tight so a round handle kind of flops about. Both are things I'd be capable of fixing, but I just wish I didn't have to fix them at all.
>>11737252I want this but I've only seen the knight in stores, which is cool but looks too skinny for me
>>11737252So they CAN make cool looking mechs, they just prefer not to.
>>11738081That's the Fantasy line. Do some proper research before you insult something. Makes you look stupid.
I also got an ash ketchum today, pretty good quality.>>11737926Yes I noticed the round handle problem. >>11737858I ordered an machine gun kit for them, (I ordered 2 portanovas because I like them), because they kind of look like german infantry to me, I liked the idea of it having a machine gun slung over it's shoulder. considering they're 1/144 is funny
I also got a couple of these pokemon model kits pretty fun
>>11737252I have the knight. Pretty fun dude.
>>11737252>>11738582I do wish that the weapons' handles were squared so they fit better in the hand. The assassins' knives are an they fit in the hands perfect, so I don't understand why the other weapons aren't.
Is Fantasy stuff a better build quality or taller than the Missions stuff? Will it feel pretty much the same in hand?
>>11738890Feels pretty much the same. They may be slightly taller, but that could also be because the bots are more athletic looking so it may just be a proportions thing. They also have better, more natural articulation, as their core bodies are supposed to mimic organic human builds. And they do have some nice quality joints so they're not flopping around. Other then that standard model kit hollow feeling and the aforementioned square hand with round handles issue, they make for fine figures.
>>11738890the fantasy is much better imo, I just built the portanova and the center joint that connects the torso to waist, especially since I attatched the machine gun build to it, comes off and feels weak, they are also smaller than the fantasy ones, you get more bang for your buck with them imo. I will build the liber knight later. Portanova feels a bit cheap but i like the way it looks. They're just 30 minute kits after all.
I built the liber knight, looks good and goes well with the fighter.
I would get the swordsman next, but that's all I'm going to get from fantasy for now. Now I'm waiting for my second portanova, the gardonova, and next month the alto. These stands I got for them also work well with other figures, my clone trooper and link are happy.
Dragonia Knight is one of the coolest ones in this line. Gonna have to get it some day
liber knight is quite beautiful
My 2nd portanova and the gardonova arrived. THe gardonova reminds me of something out of megaman like it will pop out of the sand like a crab and claw you, I thought that was cool.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJ97koqvcInew kino just dropped
>>11739847goblins? Necromancers? dwarfs?
>>11739885necromancy is sin, tsk tsk
>>11739847cute little fighter and knight part at end those are the ones I have :3
>>11737252I'm glad you like it, I tried my best to make something you'd enjoy. It's just a small token of my feelings for you op.
Been working on this for a long while, but finally got around to painting it a couple weeks ago, not quite done yet. I was shocked when I had this guy sitting around, and then Bandai announced the Dragonia Knight, so it kind gave me the kick in the ass to finish this Rosan Dragonslayer. I almost went with gold instead of purple, but i think that would've been too on the nose
>>11737252I am wishing for a Monster Hunter collab
>>11739847So if you look at the tiny slip of lore we have for Thirty Minutes Fantasy, the Rosan Empire seem like a more sinister organization, led by someone possibly like the Lord of Blades from Eberron, but I guess necromancy is too much even for them.Also those last three seconds give me hope for bonus kits full of creatures you can take apart and use as accessories, Monster Hunter style
>>11739951That looks great. The shiny purple was a great choice. Only thought might be to do something with the gray, maybe a wash, since in comparison it just looks like unpainted plastic. Still, looks good as is too.
Built the gardonova, like it better than the portanova actually more simple and gruntish, my second portanova felt better to build for some reason the ball joints felt more secure. I have a little army of toys now.>>11739951purple armor has a tasteful thickness to it
I gotta get a shelf or something.
I'm getting a new shelf and also this thing since
>>11740790*since it was cheaper at walmart than amazon and it looked cool
>>11740134Yea, it seems the Rosan are a more strictly militarized kingdom compared to the Liber kingdom, which seems to the more traditional RPG Adventurer based kingdom. It's a simple way to have that good v evil motif for the line, and makes things more interesting when new factions like the Dragonia Knights or the asian inspired Meteoric sets. It helps build this world without actually needing a story to go along with it. That said, I kind of would've preferred to see Liber and Rosan get some kits unique to their own factions instead of seeing light and dark versions of every class and upgrade. It would also be nice to see some sort of effeminate Silhouette body type, to go along with the tall skinny/short stocky options. Also, just being able to get cheap Silhouettes in general would be nice. A base body to make use of some of the spare parts you collect from swapping out option parts. As for the monsters, them adding small ones that include swappable armor bits in some of those accessory sets would be awesome. But I'd want to see more kits like the Drow Wyvern and Skeletons, just more bio-mechanical monsters for these guys to hunt down and turn into gear. The Giant Ants or Stone Golem from one of the earlier trailers would make for some fanastic kits.
bandai has nice base pieces and city pieces I am quite pleasedwhich 30 mm should I get?
ordered a bunch more
>>11742384Portanova space type
>>11742617based it's like an astronaut which fits with my themes
that one is too hard to come by
>>11740996>That said, I kind of would've preferred to see Liber and Rosan get some kits unique to their own factions instead of seeing light and dark versions of every class and upgradeThey're starting that with the two new armor sets coming out: Liberl Commander for the Knight, and Rosan Fortress for the Lancer.
>>11742384Provedel
>>11742384Join maxion, we have cute robo girls
>>11738193Yes, it's clearly a fantasy mech. Calm your axewound, gundamtroon.
>>11742837meh I don't like it's penis thing and it's tail kind of looks dumb
>>11743696how are these models? Been looking into a few other 30mm things, and they look neat
why is there no 30 minutes label general? i feel like a toy line this extensive with customisation should easily have one by now. I know 30MS is talked about in the busou shinki and friends threads but 30MM and 30MF feel left out
>>11744159The modular robots general is the 30 min general.
I like him but he's a bit shorter than I was expecting.
>>11744457I ordered one of these as well, yeah you have to be prepared for the size on 30mm I notice, 30 mf is much bigger but these are giant robots kind of throws you off. Looks cute.
As far as bang for your buck 30mf is better. 30 mm can feel chinsey.
I'm finna get this boba fett
>>11744900I had planned the next few 30mm i was gonna get but with this revelation i think I'm going to swerve into 30ms sooner than i expected. Witch girl should be arriving today.
>>11744944I mean they're not bad but they are small fragile models guess you have to have a taste for them and their crappiness and aesthetic
this person cut the ears off his foresteri
>>11744945I like it but my grand fantasies of cool modular robots is slightly dashed by them being shorter than all my other figures. Definitely still want to get more, I'm just less excited than i was so I'm going to let some girlpla take priority.
>>11744457To be fair, it's probably the smallest main kit in the line. >>11742617 for instance is a lot taller on account of the extended legs.
>>11745444
>>11745444Interesting that's closer to what I'd imagined. Guess I'll just need to pick up more. Still my Marical arrived today so I'm excited for that.
>>11737252I just got some time to work on my backlog and build this guy, its pretty cool but the masks just keep popping out with the slightest touch.
>>11742384Armored Assault Mech, love this little dude.
>>11744457>>11745444Feels like that guy is a smaller, cheaper scout mech or some sort of behind the lines worker or training mech compared to the others being more full frontal combat mechs. The few 30mm sets I have all felt pretty solid for how cheap they were, but I don't have the lil guy so maybe he's a downgrade.I will say that the Fantasy line just feels far nicer. Maybe it's because all the mechs have more human proportions and shapes, but they look and feel better to mess with. I still gotta build the Mage for my team and BBTS just got the Liber Swordsman in stock, so I'll be getting him soon. But not his armor set sadly, which looks to be one of the best upgrades they put out so far. >>11743696I put a small cloak on the purple one and now she's the rogue in my 30mf adventuring party. For the most part she matches well, but her head is very much larger and her blockier limbs kind of stand out. Might hunt down one of the Assassin sets and start swapping limbs or something so she fits in better.
>>11745978you painted this?
Just built the forestieri 01, actually like it a lot, feels solid compared to the portnova which is an earlier design, has a cool lightsaber. very cute
>>11746475I have the black forestieri
built the iglight very solid and looks ok>>11746623looks good nice blue
Forestieri looks like it was meant to be kitbashed with Core Gundam.
built the cielnova, I like it it has nice legs and good height compared to the others.
building these does get boring after a while you have to be in the mood it's better when it's new to you
I picked him up along with his gladiator job kit. The weapons isnt thick enough for the hands imo. Tight kit in a good way. I'm happy I was able to make a spartan with him
>>11747319
>>11747319that definitely looks cool
it has the gladiator movie mask baste
>>11744941Why no republic commando gundam?
Just found out the 30 Minute Fantasy line. I'm in love.
>>11750465It's genuinely one of my favorite lines now
>>11750547Nice!!! I just got into building kits and Gunpla. But man, this 30MF line has me feeling like a kid again. Just got the Liber Fighter in the mail today, that's probably gonna be my next project.
