    1. How did you get into the hobby

    Heroes Quest and Talisman 2nd Edition. The first WD I bought had extra characters for Talisman in it, it looked like fun. Many empty wallets later, I’m still in it.

    2. Are we nearly there yet

    I’m not sure but with fresh Anzac bicies anything’s possible

    3. Whats the air speed velocity of a swallow

    Somewhere between a chicken and a racing pigeon

     

    Pledge would be to finish off Morvahna the Dawnshadow, before moving off onto a different model, again. I’m a terrible hobby butterfly. I’m almost there. I think. Once I paint the head and put that into place, we’ll see how she looks. Also the base needs work, it looks okay but missing something, or a lot.

    There is a mysterious knocker (not part of a pair, how unfortunate) but you proceed to hammer on it anyway…

    IMG-20191116-WA0004

    You are greeted by a mysterious man… a mysterious drunken man… a mysterious drunken mastery kind man!…

    IMG-20191116-WA0008

    You take your seat at the table of legends…

    IMG-20191116-WA0002

    You notice a greasy head patch that could only have been left by a grumpy old priest!…

    IMG-20191116-WA0002

    You retire for the night into the haunted priests’ room on the very top floor… (mind your head!)

    And that’s where you see the horrific!!!!………

    Ah … the weekender is still alive and ticking.
    I think we all got a bit distracted with this discord thing.

    1.) How did you get into the hobby
    I once heard something about this weird shop on the radio.
    Being a student meant that I had travelling by public transport was free so I took a train and managed to locate it.
    It was there I discovered D&D andWarhammer Fantasy RPG and White Dwarf.
    Advanced Heroquest was soon to follow.
    That initial shop dissappeared, got replaced with another one … discovered Cyberpunk 2020, Shadowrun, the White Wolf’s RPG’s. Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Rogue Trader aka 40k 1st edition.

    It would be a few more years and discovering Flames of War at a gaming convention followed by finding this website.

    2.) Are we nearly there yet

    That depends on where ‘there’ is. We might be there already.

    3.) whats the air speed velocity of a swallow

    What kind of swallow ?
    African or European ?
    And is it loaded with (coco)nuts ?

    The internet has the answer :

    http://style.org/unladenswallow/

    “… the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second ..”

    Hey!

    Late to join, but getting involved ?

    My pledge this week will be putting Squad markings on Space Marines, updating my Elven project and playing D&D tonight.

    Answers?

    1. Like @warzan Heroquest was a major hook, the other was Space Crusade. The Fighting Fantasy books definitely had an influence. I also has multiple members family involved in various elements of the hobby as I was growing up as well. So I feel that it was probably inevitable…

    2. Nearly there? We’ve only just begun!

    3. Urr, I don’t know?!?

    *screams as he is launched into the chasm*

     

    Back later!!

    Godtear has arrived … I have ascended !

    😉

    ok … so bad joke

    DSC_0060

    The Dwarven team :

    DSC_0061

    All unique sculpts, but it does look a bit like daddy dwarf and his kids / halflings 😉
    Nice amount of detail, soft-ish plastic, better than boardgame standard quality
    I’m not a fan of the big empty box, but it does give each team the same size box.
    The only sculpt I don’t like is the big fleshy blob champion Grimshalla from one of the maelstrom teams (the yellow team colour).
    I think it’s the material that doesn’t really allow that mini to be at its best.

    Hey everybody!
    Time to catch up with everyone, be sociable-like…

    @warzan
    the mushrooms are looking great! 3D printed are they by the looks of it. Where did you get the files from?
    I like the way you’ve just done th esimple colours, I would probably overthink it and try all sorts of shades and washes. And then under UV light? Glorious!

    @robert mate c’mon you PLEDGED to NOT cut yourself! XD

    @sathrin ANZAC biccies, nice! Bake them yourself then? Where’s the Morvhana mini from? I like the transition on the neck of the Antelope-Wildebeest-thing and great detailing around the edge of the cloak!

    @warzan lol! That was quite an adventure! Well, put me down as “Scare-roused”.

    @tuffyears I love that classic on Blanche art. What did the Dwarf LoL box contain?

    @limburger thats… quite a bit of stuff!

    @doctorether busy busy! Congrats on getting published work!
