Uh and I did some hobby. There was a certain gift that was in need of some… “touch up” 😉
Boba is now magentized and the rest of the case is snowed in so it really looks like a Santa Fett. When I find some miniature parcels I might add some more detail. Fett himself was a gift from @horati0nosebl0wer to me. (I would have put him next to my Legion Minis but those are currently… um… let’s say “hidden” behind stuff… I just don’t have much space and currently the painted minis are all stored away safely.
Right, so I finished up those Space Wolf/Khorne Berzerker hybrids:
& the Wolf Guard Ancient…
And made a start on the Company Champion and 2 packs of Long Fangs, these two packing a LOT of Melta….
That’s me done otherwise as I have the latest Gaunt’s Ghosts book – Anarch – to dive into 😉
Questions questions….
What is my kryptonite? Is that what makes me absolutely weak and unable to resist in a good way or a bad way? I think that being sick is the worst thing in the world where I would say I’m adverse to the whole thing. My inability to resist in a more pleasant way either is unmentionable or would have something to do with new shiny figures (just like the streams they do not cross… or something like that).
I’d say that the Guild from Malifaux is my least favorite. The despotic nature of the group reminds me of what was found under authoritarian governments. The agents of the group lash out with pistol, proclamation, fire and swords (what you Aussies might call knives) with zealous determination to impress order on the world. Having agents at all levels of society, from base paperboys to the heights of bureaucracy with the Governer, the faction seems to desire nothing more than to burden Malifaux with the heaviest of yokes. The fluff in the gamebooks really doesn’t get into the politics/relation with the “real world” back home but I am interested to see how the story is addressed with ‘Through the Breach’ and the follow on game set on Earth.
The weaponization of muffins has already been done. I cannot make it any better. It was originally accomplished by the late great Gourmand von Doom. It wasn’t long after he got his hands on the legendary infernal cookbook, the Nom-a-Nom-icon, and formalized the Voretility Index whereby ingredients were indexed according to their unstable properties. This was a boon to the lagging sales in the high calorie commercial confection market after so many years of a health conscientious public which had swore off the stuff. Notable not only for their questionable shelf life Twinkies were a best seller to the military after being used as the initial test desserts of destruction. Other forms of highly combustible cookies soon followed but soon led to the formalizing of strict manufacturing regulations to divide between foodstuff and explosives in industrial baking facilities.
@sundancer Don’t worry about those nice young men in their clean white coats. We’ve got music for that.
Seeing Boba Fett getting that treatment is great. That’s an awesome as a display. Keeping it from being scuffed definitely looks a lot nicer with the flock added. The original presents were just cut bits of square plastic rod. The bows will give you the issue with the .5mm plastic sheet when you cut to shape. Thinking about it, if you know anybody that does brass photo etching and have an appropriately mask printed up you can get scores of them to a single sheet and only need to glue them on like the details of 1/35 armor kits.
Managed to get Matty’s Bane Warriors finished today so will make a start on his Phantom Hellslinger in the morning
Hey All, sorry late to the party this week. @mage a double-header? Thanks for hosting again 🙂
Woke up yesterday with a headache but headed out early to Cancon anyhow. It was really busy (I need to remember next year to go on day 3 when it is less crowded and you can get to chat to the manufacturers and game developers…). Saw many awesome gaming tables (sorry too crowded for photos 🙁 ) and many innovative terrain pieces and minis for sale. Could have easily spent an absolute fortune 🙂 By midday it was about 40 degrees and I was in need of lunch and something for the head so wandered off early in the afternoon, but not before getting to catch up briefly with community member and all round nice guy @rayzryr who was in town with his daughter to check out Cancon – just sorry that the day happened to be so hot for them, hopefully a good time was had nonetheless. My purchases for the day were mainly hobby consumables that I had planned in advance (primer etc that is difficult to get shipped through the post, plus particular paint colours I was out of) but I did pick up some minis from ex manus studios – a few of what are called ‘Goblin Plague Striders’ – think goblin on stilts wearing a plague doctor mask and you’re on target. Ridiculously characterful, I have no idea what I’m going to use them for but had to stop myself from buying a dozen when I saw them. Lucky I got in early as it looks like he sold out of stock partway through day 1:
Yesterday afternoon rather than drop in here and post a pledge I figured I’d just actually get the pledge I have been trying to do for the last few weeks done ( I gave up waiting for cooler weather and just holed up in the house with the aircon on and accepted the fact that all the paint was going to go thick due to dry air…). So finally managed to get the 12 Bret knights that I have been attacking for a couple of months painted up.
But wait, there’s more! I even bit the bullet and put on all the decals (so many decals…)
Will brush on some AP varnish when it’s less humid and then base and matt varnish. Keen to move onto some other stuff.
With hobby supplies restocked I was able to prime another few units for my Middenheim ‘built from storage’ army, and kitbashed my way to a unit of 25 halberdiers. they all look a little same-y so if/when I get my 3d printer working again I’ll print out some more torsos and use some of the old 5th ed arms and push the unit up to 40 strong just to have a bit of variety in poses.
Plan from here on out is to cycle through either the Knights of the White Wolf or Middenheim infantry in small batches (maybe 6 cav or 10-12 infantry at a go) as the colour schemes are different enough that I shouldn’t get too bored. Well at least that’s the theory…
Replies etc to follow 🙂
