Hobby weekender 17/05/19 – A good tone, tone deaf, dark tone? AtmosFearic!

[crazyredcoatParticipant 13642xp 1]

I seem to have been fairly productive, for once, and got the Hanomag built! It is a fairly easy kit to slap together, though, so no great effort on my part. 😛

Next I’ll MAYBE move on to my last three Custodes…but possibly painting something; haven’t done that in a while. I might actually need to update one of my Bolt Action officers into a proper Artillery Officer… Need to look up the correct badges…

Have another song!

Thinking of The Hobbit and how they stretched it into 3 films I shuddered to consider what they would do with The Simarrillion. Then I thought, well, we do need a new fantasy story now GoT is gone/done. And if you consider all the family tree nonsense there is lots of scope for nudey scenes. ?

Hey guys!

 

Im back. Honestly, I needed a day or two to myself away from a computer but I am back now. I will call the thread closed at nine pm tonight and will start going back over it now shortly.

I really have to go back and watch the Peter Sellers movies and not the clip show style one after he passed on.

60 points for the two models, I still have them around somewhere. I loved the entire Mordheim range. The Freelancer was such such an awesome hired sword to have at the start of a campaign with all his awesome equipment.

 

I have a talent for food, hunger, twisting people’s elbows and temptation. Would you like a box of elegant donuts?

Sadly no, it is not Friday yet. I wanna get paid!!!!

 

 

 

@woldenspoons

 

When you do shift work like me Fridays become meaningless.

Option 5: Buy three and convert the third as a new Manadlorian.

Nothing like building kits though is there? 10 points. I do dislike the Centurion helmets though.

 

Good luck with the surgery!

Those memes with pimp my ride to actually exist. When the first space marine centurions were previewed they appeared overnight.

Shoot me here, but I loved the Hobbit movies I have to say.

10 points for the assembly.

@mage that is all that matters, if you like them, you like them.  Personally, I just found them too long.

[sundancer 42933xp 0]

@mage if you like them, more power to you. But that doesn’t make the movie any better 😉

[mageParticipant 20596xp 0]

Conversely ‘better’ is subjective.

Almost quitting time. Ill probably be radio silent for the rest of the day but might, might, be back. I have a gym appointment at six and might go for a dip in the swimming pool after it. Ill try and get in some hobby too before our RPG night where we finish the introductory scenario of Coriolis.

 

Coriolis

[limburger 21685xp 0]

@mage there’s never any accounting for taste 😉
I liked the first one, because it managed to be in sync with the book and it had that bit of wimsy (dwarves singing) that the book calls for.

The second one wasn’t bad, but it suffered from being the middle in a trilogy and the pacing felt off.
The less said about the 3rd or the flockin’ love scenes with the elf the better. The absolute worst part is Smaugs’ death as the first scene …

I think this would have been best as a tv-series with each chapter/adventure getting one or two episodes.

Please do tell us about Coriolis.

Some music to finish off :

And a bit of Springsteen, except not as you know it :

Good mornin’ possums!

It’s Friday!

 

[mageParticipant 20596xp 0]

Merry Friday! Fridaymas… Fridaybaum?

 

I will throw up a new thread in a little while.
