@horati0nosebl0wer ambitious sounding pledge. what does the Slaanesh project entail? I’m keen to see my man/woman Slaanesh reappear in the Age of Sigmar universe. the new beastmen might tip me over the edge and back into the game but Slaanesh would get me over the line no questions asked. 10 points for the pledge.
@elessar2590 Bellerophon – ah yes are we all familiar with the acronym ‘BAMF’? If not please don’t go and google it on a work computer… 22? Good grief I had you pegged as a venerable grognard with your extensive knowledge of history. Well played on accumulating that much historical knowledge already 🙂 I hear you on the small scale stuff. I’m personally thinking of just picking a scale and working out the gaming system later. re the French I had the same problem with regard to their being top heavy with the smaller footprint bases. My solution was to pick up a couple of packs of washers from Bunnings and superglue them to the underside of the bases. They still fall over, just less often now…
What system are the french going to be utilised in? Ie, will you need to have them all as individuals or are you going to do group bases? I got bored counting but it looks like close to 100 French? 30 points for responses.
@querion that changeling setting sounds positively disturbing. Although it would afford some excellent opportunities for role playing as the characters become paranoid and think they are about to become reclaimed or have terrifying flashbacks triggered by seemingly innocuous events. Agree on the villians needing a motivation too. what I used to do Dming is just create a town full of NPC’s each with their own broad agendas and fill in the blanks based on how they interacted with the payer characters. Experience taught me never to plan too far in advance because my players would inevitably do something unexpected. Quite often this was something bad but now and then they would come up with a solution to a problem that was brilliant and very inspired. Not sure if you have seen Macross Frontier? It is possibly my favourite anime. Would be a close contest between that one and the very funny Martian Successor Nadesico. 20 points for detailed responses.
@sundancer I like the idea of a broad spectrum of terrain on a table. While I would personally love to have a nice large carved table with rivers running through and hills the reality is that it would be too difficult to store when not in use. So I go with a flat surface built upwards with modular components instead 🙂 Star Wars Legion just provides so many options for tabletop settings (ice worlds, forest, desert, massive cities, spaceports, on board ships etc etc…) that I wouldn’t personally know where to start. I have held off getting any of the mis so far but I might pick up the Boba Fett model after Orktober just to paint something different. Great BatRep! 30 points.
@rayzryr an ancient red dragon at level 13? That could have potentially gotten very ugly for everyone who didn’t happen to be the dragon 🙂 Already at company level? Wow that’s impressive. Elf project looks like a fun idea, and Senior Swirly Swords did make me laugh 🙂 30 points for project, responses and tunes.
My hobby time today has been mostly spent mucking about trying to get stowage printed from my Ork LRDG project. I nailed the scale on the first attempt with each of the components but I had sized it ti be true scale – for this project I will need things to be oversized to have them appear in proportion. So will need to go back to the models to scale up and re-export. Also, I need to keep from continuing to mentally add cool or fun ideas to my project or it is going to go from a novelty skirmish force to a full sized army very quickly…
