happy sunday,
1st and watching the greatest movie ever made at that
Happy Sunday indeed!
I never really started digital gaming. Were we meant to? Nice 10mm dwarves @ninjilly @fcostin Tralee is a nice part of the world. I vaguely remember a dog track. Pretty sure it’s Tralee. The Tralee museum of modern life or the mediveal experience as the rest of us call it is pretty good from memory. Lovely fell beast. I do think @avernos idea od the flesh toned one is the way to go @brennon I like your project but was disappointed you haven’t started the Middle Earth and Burrows and Badgers crossover as promised in the projects title I do… Read more »
I did look through the Oathsworn collection to see if I could make a Burrows & Badgers Fellowship. It kinda works but I need them to make more Mice 😉
Well, I’m only using greenstuff worlds intensity ink range. So price wise. Not bad. And yeah, keeping traditional paints for when they are “needed” I just find inks more to my liking with speed and ease of use
@johnlyons I woukd think about going back to inks and even possibly trying contrast paints if if was easy way to work out military colours with them
Thanks @torros – especially nice to hear from you as you were the reason I bought them. Thank you for introducing me to the scale
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday!
The Warriors videogame for PS2 from Rockstar was freaking aces
When I painted my ring wraith recently I started with a base coat of Skavenblight Dinge, but any dark grey will work. I then applied two coat of Army Shader Dark Tone, Nuln will also work. Then I highlighted with a mid and light grey. The shade will make the recess look black and the rest will like a mid tone.
Good shout – I have finished five of them but going to have a pop at experimenting with the others I have 🙂
@brennon have you tried Vajello German grey. It’s almost black and a black wash over the top would be noticeable in the folds of the clothing
Power to the People!✊✊✊
I have been using Roll20 for the DnD campaign I play in along with the Star War Game I ran. Wizards took the stance of getting people to remove content. They support DnD Beyond (Not owned by wizards), Foundry VTT, roll20 and Fantasy Grounds. All these platforms apart from DnD Beyond support other games found has grown popular due to some of the additional tools they have however requires a server or for you to buy space in addition to buying Foundry. The interesting one is DnD Beyond, in our group one of the players has been getting the books… Read more »
kill team 2 took me four days to do start to finish
I’ve been working on roll20 building atmospheric Alien RPG cinematic maps for a campaign I have coming up at the end of October. Trying to get all the bells and whistles work for plenty a jump scare
Very cool – would be neat to see some of the maps at some point!
hit me up on discord, when you got some free time and I’ll give you a tour
Hit me up on discord as I might have some things you might like for the LOTOR game
Grim does have a lot more experience with Roll20 than me , but I have learned a huge amount about it in under a month
What you showed me looks amazing, I just put something into the Alien RPG section you might like
Hope my tour of my star wars campaign helped as well 🙂
the space station was built 100% from Dakka jet spares
Confession time: I’ve owned the Silmarillion since the 80s and never finished it (contrast with LOTR that I read annually for a good few years). In the past 12 months I listened to an audiobook from some dude on Youtube and it was terrific. The narrator had a Posh Welsh accent. I don’t know if he was an enthusiast or an actual voice actor but it was a great rendition and realistically the only way I’d ever get through it.
Hi COG,ets it’s the insanity Sunday Show.
Fab work on your figures @brennon.
Never stopped playing the RPG campaign that me and my friends are playing. Not a single week lost due to the pandemic… 😉
We could move around, and the only limit was to groups of less then 10 people, sooo… no problem
An next week we will have hundreds of comments about broken GW paint lids.?
Happy wankday as it is voting time in Germany and we get new top wankers! Wank awaaaay! Just as a reaction to the show title: I never went full digital. I haven’t played any boardgame digital. Most I had done was using the app to play Imperial Assault by myself and that was pre pandemic! Now on with the show! 00:00 I will try to do hexagonal terrain! Sometime… 02:00 Ben of the Shire… all the things he showed over on Twitter. (Yes, Ben has a twitter) 10:00 Birdshitradagast! XD 12:00 Stripping is hobby work because how else can you… Read more »
The fell beast/dead crow looks great Free.
Is their a saddle for the fell beast???
Fell beast Peppa pig meet’s the Chaos God’s.
So is the pipe the badge of COGz guy’s? like the commander of the escape committee in the war film’s.
John raid’s Hogwarts for the sorting hat.?
RE: Tabletop Simulator etc. You can copy and paste to make more miniatures in Tabletop Simulator. You can’t do that in real life. I think it is a great way to try out new games or new armies in a game. Things like TTS can also be the only outlet for people who live in remote areas. There are a few games that I think are actually better in TTS, like X-Wing, where TTS saves you from having to spend an hour before and after the game sorting cards and tokens. I think TTS is more flexible and extensible than… Read more »
We should see about getting a crowd fund for John to get faster hamsters?
I can actually add something to these conversations. I always wanted to play a game of Vampire the Masquerade but I could never find one in and around my area. I finally got a game via roll20, it was a bunch of Americans and myself but it was great to do. From that I got involved with DnD with some of that group, and even more games with a different group from it. Online is the only way I’ve ever RPGs and while I’d love to play in person but with the event (remain indoors) its been great. One group… Read more »
