Hi guys n gals.

Another weekend another pledge…. just depends on the postman as to what it is.

If my Wild West Exodus Hex Beasts arrive tomorrow morning my pledge will be to paint them up, If they dont I guess Me and Matty will play a game of something…. probably Malifaux or maybe Blood Bowl.

annnnd to the questions:

1) No, never played it. The reason? Well there’s a couple really but the main one is I don’t know anybody who either plays or has an interest on RPG’s and I’m guessing Solo play isnt quite as much fun.

2) I hate to admit it but i’m not entirely sure what a Podcast is.

3) Mmmm theres a few… Empire Strikes Back, Godfather 2, Spiderman 2 (Tobey Maguire version with Doc Ock).

4) Mmmm, I suppose some of the most irritating ones are the ones that are way too long and you end up watching an hour (i’m exagerating) of waffle before they actually get around to the reason you decided to watch the video in the first place. There’s preamble and there’s “What the hell has The Last Jedi got to do with Snail Racing?”

5) Bacon Mushroom and Cheese….

Happy weekend everyone,

My pledge for this weekend will be to prime and get the colour scheme set on a practice model for my Shadespire Chosen Axes. I always like to try out colour schemes on something else before committing on such a small force. At the same time I want to document my processes for this project as I often forget to or get a certain point and then forget to do a stage photo.

(1) Have you ever played dungeons and dragons? If not, why? If so, tell us what you like about it.

Yes, although it must be at least 25 years since I have. I always loved the monsters in it and the character generation. I think everyone is praying to the dice gods when they roll for a new character. I also like that in the following years I have come across more and more of the monsters in other games as they have become mainstream.

(2) Recommend me a podcast

Okay this didn’t start great as I had to look up the meaning of the word podcast. Luckily there is a one that I like which fits the criteria. The Joe Rogan Experience, its a night time show in the USA which does have swearing in it as well. It covers all sorts of subject matter and also has a video feed too so if you want a taster check out some of the clips on Facebook to see if it is for you.

(3) What sequel to a movie have you preferred over the previous instalment.

Let me first send us into muddy waters and then swim back to shore.

I prefer Return of the Jedi to Empire Strikes Back and swim, swim, swim.

I prefer Chronicles of Riddick to Pitch Black and to throw in a third one I am going to go with Terminator 2 to Terminator.

I would like to point out at this point that I really do like all these movies though.

(4) What do you find irritating about a youtube video or podcast that covers a subject you like? Stereotypical nerd obnoxiousness, pacing, camera focus, or poor editing/syntax/diction/dictation

The biggest one for me is probably the easiest one to spot and that is when the host/hosts are too over the top and forcing themselves to act excited and over energetic. Fine when your entertaining little kids but not so much for adults.

(5) Omelette of choice.

Ham and cheese, I am a pretty boring food guy but I do like a nice omelette 🙂

Hi all

@mage  The wife says i’m consistant too, but when sha says it, its usually followed by a lot of bad words 😀

@noyjatat Yep got to agree with you on Chronicles of Riddick being better than Pitch Black (although that was pretty good). Did watch the Third one, Riddick, recently and I though that just edged Chronicles (not by much though). On Terminator 2, yup most definately the best of all the Terminator films.

@avien welcome to the thread Sir.

@torros Mmmm Alien vs Aliens (we wont count 3 or 4) would be a hard choice for me personally. I think Alien was a little slower paced,  had more suspense (although Aliens did have a good few good butt clenching moments), and was a little scarier, while Aliens was much faster paced and more exciting and the end fight between Ripley and Big Bad Momma Nasty was just so cool you could keep Ice Cream in it.

Ok pledge sorted… My Hex Beasts turned up so going to make a start on them…. once I can find a way of amusing the Granddaughter for a few hours…..

@biggabum – thanks – happy to have found it! BoW 2.0’s mobile format means I can be more involved in the community. My wife’s not too found of 2.0 as a result ?.

@mage – I’ve come across a couple f YouTubers or podcasters who act really like their way is the only way someone should approach some aspect of a hobby/game/technique and really derides any other approach. It just suggests they are full of it.

Gotta love onions mate, well spring onion to be exact!

@torros – Alien vs Aliens is a tough one, but I think the original edges out in front for me. Love the suspense.

Pledge is well and truely underway. I’m trying out @lloyd ‘s foam mountains. Getting a bit bored with city based Dropzone tables. I have 12 pieces ready for the most part – might need a bit of fine sculpting to shape the rock faces a bit before adding paint, debating whether to leave the tops flat. I have cut offs to sit on top of the flat areas to stop them looking like they are all the same height- which is a bit of a concern.

I’ll be starting a project log for this project.
