@mage ok a more detailed response re timed projects. Whether or not you go ahead is of course, completely your call but there are a few things that I would personally consider before committing:

1. Will you have enough free time to get the project done to a standard that you are happy with? Just conscious that real life will always need to take priority and things have an awkward havit of expanding to eat into free/hobby time.

2. Is there anything you need done in the near future or would like to get turned around quickly so that you can use it? As you are not hitting up tourneys I’m figuring these are all predominantly for social use, so the question might also be directed to those in your gaming circle?

3. Is there anything that is going to be fun/enjoyable for you to do in a compressed time frame? While I certainly don’t doubt your ability to get stuff done in short order if it is feeling like a grind 1/3 of the way through then that’s probably not really what you want to be doing for a purportedly relaxing block of hobby time…

4. Repetition vs interest. if you were doing a block of similar models in the same unit colours for AoS then you could get that turned around quicker due to the more limited colour pallette, but if you were doing a board game then you would have a greater variety of sculpts and colours to keep things interesting.

Further, a bit of self reflection on why you would take on such an undertaking might help influence your decision. If it is “I’m just sick of having XX unpainted” or “I’d really like to play YY but don’t like board games with naked minis.” then that might guide your approach somewhat. If you think that this will just be mindless and crazy fun, then go towards a project that you will enjoy, stock up on junk food and caffeinated beverages, crank up the stereo and go nuts. If, however, your goal was to ‘win the internet’, then you might need to refine your approach a bit more. If you wanted to get as big an online/community response as possible then you probably want to grab the shiny new thing as soon as it’s on the shelf and get it painted up before anyone else. The obvious candidates if this was going to be your approach would be either the new Lord of the Rings box set or the GW reissue of Gorkamorka (can’t remember what they are calling it but I’m pretty sure it’s not ‘Promethioumlands’…). Downside is needing to drop cash on a new thing and the resale date may not align with your scheduling.

However, getting around to responding to the question that you actually asked, ie what ‘I’ would like to see, I personally do have a soft spot for Mordheim. having said that, any of the projects listed or suggested in your posts would be entertaining to see unfold. An Armageddon themed 40K project would also be great. Maybe we could commit to doing ‘Orktober’ and seeing if we could get the broader community involved/on board?

Happy to discuss further but I’d definitely encourage a bit of planning (and likely assembling and priming 😉 ) before invoking a Ulysses pact by formally committing to something online. 20 points for contemplating such madness 🙂

2v2 BMG? That does sound like insane fun. Please snap some pics if it won’t interrupt the flow of the game too greatly 🙂 yeah it does feel quiet – a few of the regulars have been otherwise indisposed apparently. or maybe it was something I said?… That firebelly is really coming along nicely. The fire looks really good and the detailing on the sword is a standout. Did the base come pre-carved or have you added those grooves yourself? 30 points for hobby progress, 30 more for responses and feedback. 80 points.

@woldenspoons mins look great 🙂 Nice terrain too. Are you considering basing them in a particular manner? So difficult when the game can take place on a diverse range of terrain. And really nice freehand on the badges. 30 points for hobby progress and 20 more for the tunes. Ugh that SAS joke was terrible – has to be worth at least another 20 points 🙂

@sundancer I had inferred you were from Germany when I saw the game box. Very cool. Many of my favorite bands are from Germany 🙂 And such diverse online record retailers too. It makes me laugh that living in Australia I have to go to a German online record store to buy albums by a band from Florida 🙂 Still it’s nice that the world is now a global community and we can do that. It looks like a mighty steed that that brave knight is riding 🙂 I hope the day was fun, the weather looks like it was a nice day. 30 points

@a27cromwell oh no! hope you can replace your ride without too much hassle. It’s such an inconvenience (I don’t find car shopping remotely fun…). There is a colour scheme which I can’t remember the name of which is a sand yellow base with the green and red over the top and then the offsetting colour dots – have yo considered that one? The crew and riders look fantastic by the way 🙂

Wow that is a lot of potential hobby time each week. I suppose I could do something similar but it’s usually dark by the time I get home – I could invest in a proper natural colour light I suppose… Sounds like a diverse range of projects you have in hand. Hopefully that helps when you get  a bit of a block on creativity. 30 points for hobby progress.

@andre77 wow that hulk is massive! Glad to hear that the map has had some reuse since then. Thank you for posing the pic – helps to give an idea of the scale of the game and how much fun it must have been to play. 20 points.

@oriskany sorry that your first foray into 28mm has been such an arm wrestle. I promise it’s not usually quite so trying. For what it’s worth they are coming along quite well (at least from what I can see in the photos). Are they going to be used as a playable force for the BA boot camp or are they for a narrative type scenario? I’m assuming at some point you will push some tables together and have a battle royale, right? 🙂 30 points for progress and perseverance 🙂
