(1) Invent me an ice cream flavour
I love you answer @sundancer how about paint flavour, guess we’ve all tasted it and with a bit of “whoops my knife slipped” sauce on top.
(2) You have three toppings you can put on a pizza. Go!
Sausage, tomato, bacon.
(3) Name three of your top villains from anything. Keep it nerd culture relevant and not political.
@sundancer beat me to Darth Vader a good choice there, I’d through in The Joker (Mark Hamill’s voice in Batman TAS helps this one), Q (for the comdey villian award) and finally Catwoman for the last one. Seems a Batman theme there and I’ve never got into the Batman game from Knight Models.
(4) Name one artist or song from a genre you hate but you love the song or artist, along with a link to said tune.
I get what you want here, but not sure I can think of anything. My music tastes are very mixed so I can’t give an answer on this one.
(5) What do you think would be a cool terrain piece? Let your imagination run wild as to what it looks like and what it can do. Don’t worry about technical restrictions like reality and physics.
AR could produce as many problems as it does solutions, to be honest if I was paying out for a proper AR headset (not the view on the tablet shown) then I wouldn’t bother with buying miniatures. I’ve tried Microsoft’s Hololens a couple of years back and looked at a body in full AR in front of me digging in to look at how it worked. It would allow me to game from home against an opponent across the world as we’d both just need a table and all our miniatures and terrain could be presented digitially, but is that the gaming hobby that we all enjoy – I’m not sure. If you are going to use a tablet to look at the table, what’s the point you’ll see the grand explosion whilst holding the tablet up and then put it down and the AR is gone. Anyway back to the my answer to the question, Babylon 5 – the indoor space shown which is the inside of a cylinder would be cool.
@jodain AR is an interesting case in terms of tabletop gaming. Personally I don’t reckon it’ll be a more than a gimmick until the tech is more prevalent & common place. I can see it though being a useful tool to enhance the gaming experience.
(Also good shout on Babylon 5. Terrifyingly it was the 25th anniversary of the pilot this past week…)
@mage those Stormcast are very crisp, and your progress on the Conquest gubbins makes me somewhat ashamed that most of mine gets shifted into a box…
Anyway, didn’t get back to those Wolves yesterday, so they’ll be a job for next weekend. I did however get a bit of build-time in. Had a rummage around in the bits boxes and found (most) of the parts to build another three Wolf Guard Terminators. Did these three with helmets, mainly because I’d run out of bare bare heads 😀 These give me some more options in terms of load-outs, as well as meaning I can make three Terminators into Pack Leaders for other units and field one 10 or two 5-man Packs 🙂 (I do need to order a spare set of shoulder pads though for the TH & SS chap)
And began construction on my third Knight Questoris. Had to stop as the chap I brought the parts from sent the wrong connection piece for the head, but found one fairly cheap online. Unfortunately that’ll be a purchase for payday,but on the upside it’s only like £1 🙂
This one is going to be a Knight Preceptor A) because at some point I want some Armiger Warglaives for House Mortan and the Preceptor buffs them something fierce and B) the Preceptors signature weapon – the Las-Impulsor – just sounds COOL. Low Intensity for 2D6 S5 -2AP D3 Damage shots up to 36″, or High Intensity for D6 shots at S12(!) -4AP & D6 Damage within 18″? Yes please…..
Also, this means I have a Super Heavy Detachment, a Battalion of Custodes, and the Blackmanes should work out to a Brigade & a Battalion…. I really need to point up my Guard collection don’t I?
(And the carapace is just resting in place at the moment as I didn’t have anywhere else to put it. Admittedly it’s been glued in place twice already – the pitfalls of building a kit like this sans instructions…).
A new flavor of ice cream… it seems the ones I might be after have been looked at with pomegranate and chocolate milk stout. Hmmm… OH! Strawberry dark chocolate stout! Just use a combination of Samuel Smith’s strawberry and chocolate stouts with a dark chocolate that has a high cacao content to counter the sweetness from the strawberry. Strawberry, chocolate and beer.
(Truth be told I’m not a Guinness fan)
Pizza toppings… sausage and pepperoni to be dashed with habanero sauce. Yum!
Three villains… Pinhead a la ‘Hellraiser’, Darkness from ‘Legend’ and Bane from ‘Batman the Dark Knight’ for the impact of their voices and the fact that they aren’t immediately violent in their menace. Why use brute force in intimidation when your mind is much more ripe to play with in merely speaking? Its economy of effort
Guilty pleasure song… Ariana Grande doing acapella of Dangerous Woman. Little Wooden Boy from the animated version of The Tick had more personality than she does but the video has its appeal.
A cool terrain piece… Ah! A power generator station the likes of Fritz Lang’s original ‘Metropolis’ or Osamu Tezuka’s anime version that would have Tesla coil topping a center pillar that had running arcs of electricity and shot sparks of lightning around intermittently for the visual effect to some surrounding pylons. Honestly that’s a project I have in mind to build without real electricity using some sidestreet refuse, wire and a few odds and ends for a copy I have of Malifaux’s Ramos Avatar of Invention.
@sundancer I think that the Bane voice still comes through in meme form in the same way a comedian did an impression of Morgan Freeman about his sentiments regarding ‘titty sprinkles’. Now with your pizza toppings and coffee drinking habits it seems that breakfast must be quite important to your stomach.
@jodain I think that my idea would probably be best as AR as not many people are relatively keen on being voluntarily shocked. Gameplay would definitely be impeded. I think that the same might be said of anything done for Planescape in Sigil.
@dawfydd Holy Crap 25 years?! Ugh. A good series for the time, production value and stories. Lol… heavy geeking out on your Space Wolves. I look forward to see your finished pieces and what you do with the basing.
@mage The pics showed for me. Good progress on them. Definitely would do to get shots in a proper set up but the ones there are fine to get the figures.
I’m going to get back to working on the 1st ed. Pandora (no Baby Kade of Candy with the consignment purchase from the FLGS), the 2nd ed. December Acolyte’s and reworking the turret on the gobbo scrap tank I painted. I switched the turrets accidentally and didn’t figure it out until I had both tanks on the workbench.
Done with another bit of 2019 painting pledge
