Good evening @sundancer I’ll not murder anyone… in my sleep!
Looks like you’ve had a fun weekend ?
@mage yeah that weird banner glitch… it’s not the first time I’ve seen it. Now I know it’s not just my phone if you’re seeing it. I’d better report it to the techies…
Gotta go and catch up with how you did, Iron Man ?
@evilstu can you imaging what it would take for this guy to “Hulk Out?” Look how calm he is… he’s goin with the flow…
Your school project plan works IF you don’t get greedy: just enough for your own personal use, not mass produced, world-wide market quantity.
Colour shift paints and chaos you say? Tzeentch? Slaanesh?
The Warp really is the biggest lazy writer excuse ever. Anything you want to do in 40k you can pretty much get away with… because Warp. Ancient Traitor Legions? Warp. Didn’t make it in time to save the planet? Warp. Attacked by Purple Space Monkeys from Hell? Yep.
Your experience with the new light, I remember having a similar epiphany. Painting by the 60w bulb hanging from the ceiling and behind you really doesn’t help produce the best work ?
Quick work for me today… sort of.
Just added these few semi-complete Elves to the completed list. Just basic, nothing fancy.
Time to unload on the thread…
@oriskany I love the fact that there are more realistic aspects to the world of wargaming using hexes and chits but it doesn’t lend well to the social standing of a greybeard if he’s the only one in the group going “pew pew pew” every time his LMG squads let loose or “Boomshakalaka” when artie fire is sent whizzing into the fray.
@dawfydd I’m glad to help out with the ideas. I’ll also toss out PLASMO as a resource for scale model stuff

@rayzryr Did someone speak The Word … “Beer”? Now about this FRED… it looks like a bad time waiting to happen from that classic ration opening portion. The stepping out of one’s comfort zone is definitely a thrill once things come out and it goes well. Now about that child labor that evilstu mentioned…. I salute you. Now about that color shift for Slaanesh… Heresy!
I stand corrected with special pants
@evilstu Korilla I think is koala/gorilla mixing which makes me think of the horrible things shown from the Pokemon world when you mix Butterfree and Primape. The world of lighted models is an interesting one. It is a realm that has made me more aware of what kind of photo backdrops I should get in order to better present my work to all of you fine people. Thankfully I remembered a pair of painters from a now defunct club that run a business revolving around mini painting where I can get backdrops. Geek speed dating… **shudder** I’ve been there and seen that the 90/10 ratio of men to women and the thirst was real. Then again the issues of sub-par hygeine and lack of attention to detail/situational awareness made those events uncomfortable.
@sundancer The smack talk of some games makes them all the more fun. In the many games of ‘Poo‘ I played with coworkers at a call center the phrase “Take it like a man!” turned into “Take it like a monkey!”
@mage Claymore as a warband? That sounds like Kingdom Death for relative scale but Anima Tactics would probably have fit for theme.
About that Raging Dropbear I think that Trash Panda might need love
or go to a figure for the series Kemono Friends
Since we’re throwing out shameless plugs to our projects I’ll toss this mine out there for Off Season Orkiness. I’m back and forth between build and paint to keep active.
Hey guys quick test here, first batch is html, second is links direct. Tell me if a stupid privacy request comes up for either or all.
@mage Yes, it is dark… all sorts of gritty grimy dark in parts but it isn’t on par with TerraforMars where most of the censored scenes were nearly all black. The anime so far does a very good job at giving you the “tell but don’t show” cinema experience where it needs to.
The versatility versus passion definitely can be an issue but you might be able to overcome through narrative in game. Take the different factions of Empire mercenaries in Mordheim. I loved the Middenheimers and they were definitely good to play around with and covert to be kitted out with an arsenal that was hammer heavy. In general they did well as a warband and then later got used as barbarians for tabletop gaming when that game an all the other “specialist games” were given the kaibosh by GW when they bought the rights to LoTR. You bring up Gandalf and I think that the really old figure of Elminster from Greyhawk in Forgotten Realms might work (painted differently of course). It all depends on what you’re playing about with
