Hey All, hope the week has been treating everyone well so far 🙂
@mage thanks for hosting.
@biggabum gad to hear you are OK, hope the missus is feeling better soon.
Question responses:
1. What’s your favourite ‘quest’ movie? Totally not a question inspired by the releases of Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress.
Erm…. I don’t really know… I guess I could shoehorn any movie into a ‘quest’ format (quest for the truth in a whodunnit, quest for happily ever after in a romantic comedy etc). If we are going for more of a conventional ‘quest’ type movie I’d be tempted to go with ‘Labyrinth’ because muppets and David Bowie, but I haven’t watched it in 30+ years and to be honest it probably wouldn’t stand up too well… Can I say ‘Aliens’ as a quest for the way off the planet?
2. Pick a race and character for said adventure!
Erm… Predator Hunter?… OK I may have spent too much time/coins playing the AVP arcade game in the mid-90’s…

3. I was in a rush doing this. Tell me something cool you did or discovered this week
I discovered that 10+ year old decals work a lot better when you soak them in warm/hot water rather than tap temperature. Also the Microset/Microsol may have helped…
Also, I learned that specialty pet shops stock something called ‘reptile sand’ which is superfine and coloured like Mars – looking forward to using this in baseing. It was 8 dollerydoos for a 2 kilogram bag:
Have managed some hobby this weekend – shoulder has been borked so no painting for the back half of last week but I did get my Fireforge minis up to the dip stage – just need to base and matt varnish, so maybe another hour’s work until they are done.
Plus finished off my British Dragoons that I’d been working away at for a few weeks
Also got a cyberpunk building from a recent KS printed up – one day I will get my Cyberpunk table happening…
Finally, had both of these arrive in the post – the one on the left was the first wargaming book I ever read – used to repeatedly borrow it from the local public library as a kid.
And finally, also bought and downloaded the ‘Rangers off Shadow Deep’ game by Joe McCulloch of Frostgrave fame, so have some reading ahead of me.
