Happy Sunday.
Perfect timing, just taking a break from building my river for the Water Terrain Challenge and the Weekender XLBS was up.
UB stands fro Unter See Boat. Sorry for my atrocious German spelling
Means Under Sea Boat. Kinda obvious really
Unterseeboot, auf Deutsch.
This even made the news all the way over here in Australia.
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday!!
Turns out Unterseeboot UB-85 was scuppered by its crew when the captain’s blunder forced it to surface close to the allies,
Rather than suffer the indignity of being captured by the enemy and admit to the blunder he ordered the scupper and then blamed the cause of on Sea Monsters; suffering a different indignity instead!
Just as Warren said it – if you want to play out ‘pure’ tactics then the older the historical the better.
@warzan ref the 40k endtimes: If only GW had the ability to enable players to fight the conflicts of the 13th Black Crusade with new rules, models and a campaign that would have an impact on the fluff….
Oh, wait, have I gone back in time 13 years? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/13th_Black_Crusade
The wooden blocks the Japanese bowmen are sanding behind are called “Tate”, and were carried on the backs of the soldiers and then laced in the ground for mobile cover.
I think bringing back the metal minis is a great idea for the old timers. There are plenty of figs that I’d love to see again, I have fond memories of the old beaky marines.
I also have a sneaky suspicion that this lines things up perfectly for the old Blood Bowl models That will be a huge get re-release in time for the new game – which makes me happy as I never managed to finish my Chaos team!
Happy Sunday
Just to show off – the sheild that the Archers are using I believe is called a Tate. It’s similar to the European pavise sheild.
Bravo Justin – you’re correct!
I don’t envy there going look for that sub because the deep chanel next to where the sub was discovered was where the British dumped all the left over mustard and phosgene gas after WW1
Unterseeboot, literally “undersea boat”
I reckon for AoS some massive event will happen and all the realities will somehow namahically join together again and create a new world
Magically even
Lol… @dignity got it almost right he just missed the See or sea… I see ( punintended) others got there before me on the explanation 🙂
The black wash Justin is talking about and putting it over a gloss varnish is a good idea . I have been using I for sometime but using the future wash instead. Just paint pure future wash over the model and then ink. I would say that artists inks like W&N work far better for this than the inks you would get from AP,GW etc as they seem to have a higher pigment density and just flow better
40k moving forward in the story yes please and about time.
@warzan Warren- On transfers: You can just use water but the trick is apply them over a gloss coat (you can always flat coat it afterwards). If we’re being all scientifiky the ‘silvering’ comes from having air bubbles underneath the transfer so the smother the surface is to start with, the better. If you combine that with the magic that is microset/sol you’ll get a great result every time and have all your mates asking if you painted it on.
Hope it helps everyone thinking of using transfers but have been turned off by bad results in the past.
Got myself a Sly Marbo on the made to order. Didn’t bother the first time around.
I have him from years back, but seeing him again has tempted me to strip him down and give him a proper paint job.
From memory the decals on the samurai look like they come from Veni Vidi Veci
Thanks for another great show lads. A couple of points that i feel are worthwhile making (I could be mistaken but hell it’s the internet crap is written on it all the time) 1) Ben , let me second Warren’s comment, your painting impresses me more and more every time I see it 2) Please, Please. Please, do a series either online or offline on what your are doing with your KoW Empire of Dust. I have purchased the starter kit and I am devising my own “quick paint” method. (To be clear “quick Paint” is relative… if I get… Read more »
On point 4 the 4 primarchs i ve heard bandied about for the loyalists are girlyman, vulcan, dorn and the lion… Of all of those king arthur the lion waking up has me the most excited, as i personally believe that the DA’s secrets offer the most get out of jail free cards for the fluff writers, i.e. what if cyphers quest to terra is to get dorn to reforge the lion sword, which is the key to waking the emperor, as the DA’s were the first legion might make sense that the emperor bestowed a genetic backup psychic mcguffin… Read more »
Happy Sunday!
On the matter of Sea Monsters the largest Squid ever caught was a Colossal squid and evidence suggests that even bigger ones exist, That’s It! I’m not going swimming in the sea ever again!
The Speculation About 40K’s Time Of Ending has been going for ages, there are far too many theories to talk about here, need to find a Forum.
Tomas’s Army looks magnificent and also utterly hilarious.
Excellent show guys 😀
Another great show. Love the look of the flames of war laments at the end. Also good to hear Field of Glory by Osprey get a mention. Clean playing rule set without the plethora of special rules in other modern rule sets.
hear hear… they need to get some of these more diverse rule sets out there 🙂
