@evilstu : tinsel and all that other christmassy stuff is great camouflage.

Red cloth works well, because no one has spotted Santa hding on the North Pole.
And that big guy must be tricky to miss …

We can see this in traffic too, because how else are we going to explain people not stopping at red traffic lights ? 😉

A bit of sad news today : Aretha Franklin has gone to meet her maker.

Any historians : please do not look at the trailers for Battlefield V.
It’s really bad for your health.

The first part is supposed to be Rotterdam :

Other than Dutch signage there’s practically nothing that makes sense.
Heck, I’m not even sure those trams were running in that city during WW2 …

Points, awards and comments to follow tomorrow. A new thread could be up before I finish this one properly. Busy day today and hectic morning ahead tomorrow, but throughout the course of the day it will be done.

 

These were my Ogres from the other day I posted, only getting around to posting the extra ones now:

Im not happy with the quality of the photos but am happy enough with the quality of the minis in person. Might need more work on the skin. I dunno…

Good night everyone!

Also just won one of these on eBay for £9

[sundancer 42972xp 0]

So I started these:

Now do I just post them in the WAYP thread…. or do they need a project? I kind of think not because it’s not much to them… you opinions?

@mage will your Ogres get white hats? 😉

@tuffyears ooooh I remember those…. they were so cool….. repainting those feels like a sacrilege

[tuffyears 23171xp 1]

@sundancer im not so worried as its damaged and bits missing

I think it would be fun if a few of us did it, be it just a few from the forums do their own thing or its done as a community thing for fun. Kinda, do something Christmas themed be it a Weird World War campaign, Warhammer 40,000 scenairo, Dungeons and Dragons monster, homebrew Age of Sigmar unit, a modern warfare Santa rescue mission, or anything. Sky is the limits.

@limburger

 

Sad news indeed about Aretha Franklin.

 

How ‘head hurting’ is the video, because boy, its nice to watch a good wreck.

 

@tuffyears <10 points>

 

Batmobile and the police car are both looking good. Is it a fun game?

Nice win, what is it? 10 points regardless! 🙂

 

 

@sundancer

 

I think if it feels like more work than its worth than don’t do a project. If your not too sure or pushed it might just be a pain in the butt.

 

No, they won’t get white hats…

@evilstu 100 points. While I did really like the music that @sundancer posted, not enough people are posting music. To prove a point, I have pumped up the points for @evilstu to hope that people next week will post more

 

·         Armchair Commander (weekend battle reports)

@biggabum 60 points gets it despite @tuffyears @woldenspoons posting ones as well. My advice is to do more than post just pictures and to include information, text, tell how the battle went, etc. More battle reports from everyone, please.

@evilstu 40 points for being engaged, helpful, giving feedback, and detailed posts re same.

 

·         Storyteller (weekly discussion & story)

@torros 40 points for the picture of the big gun. While one could argue there is not much in the way of weekly discussion or story with it, well, I started the thread and liked the picture. A picture is worth a thousand words.
