Well this weekend was a bit cooler but that meant catching up on all the housework that I’d been putting off due to the heat for the last few weeks – so no hobby time for me. Temperature is back up again today and looks to be the same for the rest of the week so not sure when I’ll be able to get back to it. On a positive note, Cancon is on this weekend – three days of awesome gaming goodness. For the uninitiated it’s the largest gaming event/convention.festival in the southern hemisphere. I’m pretty keen 🙂
@horati0nosebl0wer those mosquito minis look ridiculously fragile and fiddly. You must have a great deal more patience/fine motor control tna I can muster. Good plan swapping the original parts out for wire. Oooh love me some Enigma TNG 🙂
@dawfydd I love that you have this magical ever-growing pars box form which more Wolves just keep assembling from. It’s sort of like you have your own mini-Forge World 🙂 2500 points? I know you have a lot of concurrent projects but from the photos you’ve posted I would have assumed you’d have more points of Wolves than that? Then again, form memory it’s all core infantry and claws and not big tricked out Heavy support equipment which is probably where the big points sinks kick in? Or are you only including what has been fully painted? Nice work on painting up the the current squad BTW.
@jodain hey, now I feel like I’m in good company – my pledges of late have been aspirational ones at best 🙂 Leia is coming along nicely.
@sundancer agree with your observations with regard to the interviews. I always find big Ben entertaining though 🙂
@mage good to hear your players hit level 10. How do you handle it when players don’t show – do the other players ruin with their characters, do you ‘shortman’ the party or do you NPC them personally?
Questions!
(1) Invent me an ice cream flavour – Steak. Because Guinness has already been done…
(2) You have three toppings you can put on a pizza. Go! Basil, sun dried tomato and olive oil – all it needs 🙂
(3) Name three of your top villains from anything. Keep it nerd culture relevant and not political. – Dr Doom straight off the bat. I mean, Vader’s aesthetic was based on him, how much cooler can you get? I always liked the comic book version of Baron Zemo (Not to say I didn’t mind his version in Age of Ultron). And IG-88 because bounty hunting assassin droid 🙂 Honourable mention to Deathstroke and the Alien monster from the film franchise (you know, the one where they made 2 films and decided that they were both so perfectly and differently awesome that they should stop there and NEVER try to make another alien film? Yep, that one 🙂 )…
(4) Name one artist or song from a genre you hate but you love the song or artist, along with a link to said tune. – Erm, sort of stuck on this one – if I hate the genre then I don’t like the music. the only genre’s I really do hate are generic pop rubbish, yodelling and country and western (sorry it’s not just me). Having said that I don’t hate ll pop, just the cheesy ‘radio friendly unit shifter’ stuff that’s all built using a synthesizer, 3 chords and autotune. Some pop music is quite cool, especially the more subversive stuff – I’ll post a couple of examples of what I mean as a compromise response I guess:
Language warning:
(5) What do you think would be a cool terrain piece? Let your imagination run wild as to what it looks like and what it can do. Don’t worry about technical restrictions like reality and physics. – Mordheim. And I will not be swayed on the matter 😛 Or any version of ‘Neo-Tokyo’ 😛
Nice work on the stormcast and crate!
