Dear larpthread,

I want to build a cheval de frise like that one picture floating around on the internet that calls it a pallisade. However, painting pool noodles proved harder than I thought, as most spray paint just flakes off. Does anyone know how to paint pool noodles? I think coating it like you'd do when making a latex weapon would work, but I have no idea how to do that. Anyone?

tactics evolve over time.
i could tell you those that i remember that we used but not those we're gonna use, because to tell the truth... its on the inspiration of the moment.

Ex:
>Bico 1010
>a guild discover that peasant flail are op
>bico 1011
>a shitload of people are now following the meta and using peasant flails too
>one of our commander tell us to thighen the ranks and the second rank must lift their shield over the first rank heads
> we enter unharmed by their attack and get close
>we have shortswords and daggers
>they have huge peasant flail
>its a massacre
>bico 1012
>peasant flail is way less popular


Bico 1013
>they have lots and lots of siege engines
>siege engines one-shot everything
>they target our vip and own artillery
>we take a beating from the barrage
>what do now?
>me and some dude go see a bunch of young teen ready for battle
>wannahavefunkids?
>we tell them a huge thing about being heroes and all that.
> they form a screen of running dudes catching ballista bolts with their chest
>some even destroyed an ennemy siege engine
>we mow the rest
>heal up the lil' dudes
>you're heroes now
>they were invited to a feast after


Talking about tactics, i did not continue the foam pikes (pic related but not mine), did anyone tryed to do them also?

>If a kilt is appropriate for your game setting, feel free to fucking wear it.
Is it wrong if i just imagined you saying this in the most stereotypical accent with your probably redhaired beard and your bagpipes somwhere.

I just dont get it, why do people complain so much about cultural apropriation.

there were like 4 cultures back in the days.

They were the elves, the dwarves the Canadians and the humans.


Anyways, my group want to build pic related but maybe with a layer of plastidip on it to make it look more wooden and less pool noodlish. and we are currently talking about what to get and we'll construct a bunch of them next month, i'll take some pic and try to make a tutorial.
