It’s Sunday night. The daughter has been return safely to her Maternal household, I’ve retreated from the cold in to the comfort of my hobby space. It’s time to reengage, and reply! Wall of text warning! Replies and conversation for pages 1 and 2

@unclejimmy The one the only eh? I feel like you’ve something of a rep on this site 🙂
I’ll have to go back and look at old Dr Who, I don’t remember him ever kung-fu fightin’! Ha! I’ve not seen Peter Cushing as the Doctor… checking that out.
Haha! my online name is silly, I know. It was cool when I was a teenager, I just stuck with it.
I’m more a cat person than dog person, but I enjoy the company of both. Cats dont expect you to take them for a run around the block every day, dogs dont need a clean box to drop a turd…
The ginger cat we had since he was a kitten, a rescue from the RSPCA. He was already named Gerry, so we left it at that. He always got on better with me than anyone else in the house. Even now that I’ve moved out he still comes to me to get scratches when I visit to pick up my daughter.
Mowgli is gorgeous.

So these are the new version of Space Marine, called the Primaris Marine. Now 20% Bigger, Shinier and More Fanatical! With none of the drawbacks or flaws of of your favourite original Chapter. 40% less calories. And no soul.
Yeah, they’re bigger. They’re going to replace the original Space Marine eventually. I’ve been collecting Space MArines since Space Crusade was new in stores, so I’m still torn on the idea. But at the end of the day it’s toy soldiers, so I still enjoy painting them. GW are in this interesting situation of releasing these guys now for 40k, but still releasing standard marines for Horus Heresy stuff through Forgeworld.
Can’t paint for toffee? We’ll see about that: I saw those tanks you had for sale, they looked pretty good to me.

Labyrinth as a regular night at Bowie’s place, hahaha, yeah I can see that. The old video tape collection has been totally superceded by the internet. I still enjoy the idea of a CD collection myself.
Counter question: What do you mean by “What about everyone else”?
I have three younger brothers, we all were rather fanatical about Star Wars and fantasy in general.

We are pet-sitting this weekend too. My youngest brother had to go to China for the week, and was supposed to go into surgery when he got back, though seems like hes going to post-pone the operation. Nothing major so he can put it off for a bit.
Jack-Russells are great little dogs. My cousins had one, it sounds like it had a similar temperament to yours. He would’ve gone up the trees to catch birds above his yard if he could’ve.

I reckon pets get the important stuff.

I have played some Infinity. My mate Damian is right into it. He has tried to get me into it. We’ve played through a few games, I’ve had the basics of the rules down fairly well. He’s gone on to play in a few tournies, though I’ve not got that far into it. I’m more of a social gamer than competitive gamer.
And yes, definitely an Aussie. You make an interesting comment regarding the Australian Govenment and the national treasure that is Uluru. Personally I agree with you.

Hmmm, unless Johnny Rotten has personally spat in every stick, then I don’t believe I want any butter that he is advertising. Marilyn Manson said he was the anti-christ too, then when the Columbine high-school shooting happened he washed his hands of responsibilty, didnt he? I don’t know. Probably being anti-establishment ALL the time is hard work. Something about you die and become a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Didn’t Two-Face say that in the Nolan Batman movie?

I do love the Infinity minis though. That Domaru looks the business! That’s a nasty looking fireteam…

@biggabum Hi mate, I hope you and the family are as well as can be expected, or better! Ah sorry to hear the Mrs wasn’t so well.
Theres a fair amount of minis there for your game. Do you use that many in WWX?

@ceppie good to see you too! Glad I could be of assistance by reminding of those things of which I was thoroughly clueless 🙂
Are the star ship crew for a particular game, or just for fun? Is that a minotaur carrying a ballista? It looks epic anyway! Do Zealot do metal or resin minis?

@oriskany Wow, your Mum kept that stuff? I was told about 12 months after I’d moved out that all that kind of thing had gone out or gone to charity…

hello hello @horati0nosebl0wer it has been a while. Are you well?
That looks like a Reaper miniature. The skintone and face look alright I reckon, what would make you feel happier with the results?
