Page six, part one:
****************
(and do not worry, I am still going back through the thread for bits I’ve missed in all the nooks and crannies)
Loving the modified Batmobile. 5 points. Its like something the Knightmare Batman would drive around. What colour are you painting it.
Any interest yourself? I know some play too competitively, but with a few buddies it’s a fun little system too. My LGS decided to do some more laid back events and gaming days to use people’s collections and more fun lists rather than the whole ‘tournament list refinement’ practice stuff.

August 7, 2018 at 10:28 am #1248707August 7, 2018 at 11:00 am #1248727August 7, 2018 at 11:31 am #1248742@tuffyears Hrm does sound like dirt cheap gaming goodness. And a nice excuse for some post apocalypse Mad Max style action 🙂 Like the mods. Heh, more is definitely better. IG look smashing! Congrats on getting them knocked over to that standard in such a short time frame. Ha! Yes you appear to be good for Tanks, especially given most large games only have 3 to 5 tanks aside if I recall correctly.
@sundancer too hot to paint is no fun – hope it didn’t torpedo your holiday plans… X-Wing however, is fun. Have only played a few games, got smashed every time but thoroughly enjoyed it. What other game allows you to make ‘pew pew’ and ‘whoosh’ noises when redeploying and activating gaming pieces? OK, probably quite a few if I stop to think about it…
@biggabum Ah your taunts of wonderful warm weather… I’m afraid to head out to the man-cave and turn over print jobs for fear I will snap-freeze. Meh, give it 4 months when the mercury is hitting 40 here for 10 days in a row and then remind me I said that 😛 yeah Looking forward to the sequel but haven’t finished your first book yet… I’m working through it slowly….
@woldenspoons I miss bits with sprays all the time. I’m usually super-keen to get it done quickly so I don’t inhale paint fumes and end up botching the rush job. I really need to move to an airbrush for priming and base coats at some stage… Please post progress pics and let us see how you are getting on 🙂
@mage yeah when I used to play on the tourney scene most people avoided overpowered and cheezy lists – it was pretty much a case of have fun at all costs – so never really saw anybody field one. My cheesiest unit was an aspiring champion with a great weapon on a steed of Slaanesh – so 3 strength 7 attacks from the rider (plus 2 str 4 poisoned form the mount IIRC?…) at the end of a 20″ charge range. Great for smashing chariots or knocking out unprotected warmachines/roaming casters. Yeah I did tinker with magic now and then, but an aspiring sorcerer with mark and a couple of scrolls ended up being more expensive than a unit of light cav, so I’d either try and fit in 2 level 2’s in the hope one of them could get some spells off, or just leave well alone and spend the points on more warm bodies. Flava Flav has a reality TV show? Colour me intrigued… Hope your little one has settled. Poor thing, if it’s hot overnight and they are waking up tired from a restless night then there isn’t much that can be done to keep little ones settled regrettably. Heh. the Sweet christmas call sort of gave away what you were watching 🙂 I like how Old Grogg has turned out. what did you use to get the wounds looking like that?
@torros a banner? Does this make us grown-ups? I sure hope not. I’m hoping if I keep my head down that nobody will notice I’m a barely functioning adult who just fakes his way through this being an adult business by making up whatever seems to work on the fly. Nobody seems to have caught on yet, which makes me hopeful I’m blending in OK. The other possibility, that everyone else is also too busy pretending to be an adult to notice my feeble attempts is just too confronting to contemplate. Anyhow, back to talk of toy soldiers and games of imagination…
@limburger will definitely check it out once I’m through end of financial year and have some surplus mental capacity.
@a27cromwell well you certainly are high maintenance 🙂 Classic comedy and classic tanks and you are all set – good to see 🙂
@commodorerob I am intrigued by Blood red Skies but can’t justify jumping in given my gaming circle already has X-wing to fill that niche. If we were doing an all-in WW2 campaign maybe… No, not going to start down that thought process… Too many other projects on the go presently as it is. Awesome! Enjoy Saturday 🙂
Still turning over print jobs for Kill Team Figure I will have enough for a building or 2 by the time the box arrives. Will try and remember to snap a photo next time I am changing print jobs.
August 7, 2018 at 11:58 am #1248766@evilstu sadly it did. The goal was to paint 42 miniatures in July… I managed 20 and just barely because I lowered my standards a lot 😉 See here: Paintathon
August 7, 2018 at 12:20 pm #1248777@sundancer sorry to hear that the weather didn’t permit you to meet your hobby goals while on break. If it’s any consolation what you did get achieved was fantastic work. I really love the authentic, period appropriate colour schemes on those older minis. Really reminds me of lat 80’s/early 90’s GW 🙂 Top work!
August 7, 2018 at 12:25 pm #1248778@mage cheers, DZC is Dropzone Commander and is in 10mm, I will be honest it’s been a while since I played any..it’s still a fab game.
I can’t think of anything worse than a Harry Potter convention…lol
@evilstu probably asking the wrong person to convince you to play BRS over x-wing because I don’t enjoy playing x-wing it’s got a clever move mechanic but ultimately after trying to play it several times I just didn’t enjoy it. Where as BRS is a well thought out easy to get into game. All you really need to buy is the starter box comes with 6 spitfires and 6 me109s which you can easily have a 4 player game with. So basically I would bin x-wing and play BRS…lol
August 7, 2018 at 12:39 pm #1248789@evilstu thanks mate… but don’t look to close 😉
Oh, forgot to put some music on:
Something for the older folks 😉 (It’s 17 years old by now…)
August 7, 2018 at 2:19 pm #1248868Just for info really but a friend at work whose best friend works at Titanic studios in Belfast was telling him that once the last series of GoT has filmed the people doing the new Star Wars live action series will be moving in to start filming
August 7, 2018 at 3:01 pm #1248894I knew it wasn’t quite 6mm. Im gonna pick up a Shaltari set, haven’t gotten anything for it in a while. Resistance is also tempting me.
@sundancer <10 points>
Points for the music. 17 years old? Cripes I feel auld.
@evilstu <20 points>
I my LGS back in the days of sixth and seventh we did strong lists but nothing too insane. That is a solid classic tactic for an Aspiring Champion, very effective. He went first due to charging with a great weapon in 7th, yes? Good for small annoying skirmishing units too.
Yeah, Warriors always had to sacrifice something with the steep points costs.
He had in the early 2000s. It was so bad.
My boy settled. Its been tough.
Watch Season 2 of it, so good. I want one of these:
The wounds are just GW blood for the blood god.
August 7, 2018 at 3:03 pm #1248909August 7, 2018 at 3:03 pm #1248912@mage Resistance is my first love..lol
August 7, 2018 at 3:10 pm #1248918I did play xwing and enjoyed it up until I didn’t as people just spent more money. I still have my ships but no intention at the moment of investing in 2.0.
Do you all really want to see pictures of models with a base coat on? Again I may add them to projects which seems better. For hobby weekend and inspiration I like to watch Ash Barker’s GMG On the Paint Table. Anyone else watch it?
My other current thing is finding alternative scenary for The Walking Dead. My ideal would be a huge office type building on multiple floors to fight over. I did find one but it was for DZC. (10mm scale for those interested) .
August 7, 2018 at 3:12 pm #1248920Oh and I have Scourge for DZC and DFC.
