Shotlock + 1301

Need a quick access safe for my 1301. Looked at Fort Knox but the safe wont fit under my bed. Really want to avoid electronics to unlock, and I dont have room for a proper safe in my bedroom. Anyone have experience with a shotlock and their 1301? Mine is completely stock with a traditional factory stock but I do have a RDS on it..

Scouring Sands Emplacement Models

About to start up the SS campaign. Got 3d printed models for buildings and SS terrain but cant find something suitable for emplacements so I dont have to use tokens. I hear the Emplacement forcepack from CGL isnt very good else id get those. Anyone find a suitable model for them?

Edit: seeing posts removed, if you cant link it then just say what site you found them on and what theyre called. I dont have a 3d printer so ones where I can buy them would be appreciated!

How native have the clans in the IS gone?

I am aware that it will depend on the particular clan but I am wondering how 'inner spherized' the various clans have become now that they've been rubbing elbows with the Great Houses for a hundred-ish years now. Have any retained pure clanness, or gone virtually native, how about in between? Usually cultures blend to some degree when in close contact over time.

How has clan daily life and military structure changed in their new homes? Looking for a 500 foot view.

Won't everything eventually become Clan tech?

Out of universe I am sure they will always have Clan, IS, and mixed for gameplay reasons.

In universe wouldnt we expect everything to become clan tech level? Right now everything is a mess so I expect a lot of IS tech even succession wars era gizmos will still be around for some time but at some point everyone will be making clan grade equipment. I also read somewhere (battletech universe?) that cost is also a concern at least right now; its cheaper to make old stuff. Would that eventually change as the tech becomes ubiquitous?

Is CGL just going to do the "constant warfare and communication breakdown prevents it"?

After dealing with synthetics curling/kinking and not holding a point and a disappointing budget kolinsky sable (golden maple) experience I broke down and finally got a "good" brush. People rave about WN. They go on about how they hold their point, how nice they are to paint with, that they use a #1 to paint eyes.

Brand new mine splits, refuses to come to a sharp point, and overall is a huge disappointment for almost $30. Its no better than the cheap golden maple sable. It would probably be alright for base coating but my synthetics can do that. "Painting eyes" my arse, I struggled to pull a clean line on my cockpit edge with it.

Did I just get a dud? Or am I somehow using it wrong? I am considering returning it if I can at this point.

Need clarification on a rule.

If a vehicle is hull down it can only fire turret weapons. What about Indirect Fire? Nothing in the ASCE says anything about it in either the Hull Down or Indirect Fire rules. Logic dictates yes its allowed, but I want to be sure since my LRM carriers do not have turrets.
