@evilstu

I’d recommend a lot of but not all the FW ones. For my gold recipe, I strongly recommend batlhasar, gehenna and griffon gold. I think one can get tired of a game, system or world that CONSTANTLY takes itself too seriously ya know? Its probably why you get adults hobbybing like us or going to Disney movies without kids, reading fantasy novels for teens, etc.

 

Bigger hammers?

 

Dodgy filament sounds bad, real bad.

 

@woldenspoons

 

The Death Guard are suitably gribbly, I quite like them.

 

 

@sundancer

 

Rasberry pi zero? Whats that?

[sundancer 42932xp 0]

@mage a very small computer. A system on a chip design. Half the size of a credit card but fully functional.

Raspberry Pi Zero W

Interesting, thanks for the link dude, I shall check it out

Well, I got extremely little done yesterday with hobby, but I was busy. Car stuff, present for a cousin’s kids birthday, other errands. By the time I got home I was wrecked and just watched TV. Starting up on a Chimaera done in the Armageddon Steel Legion colours. That was it. A spray and a wash. As well as sorting out new hobby supplies for upcoming projects and replacing paints I used. Training also, then D&D afterward.

 

Training tonight and a game of Arcworlde tonight. Pics to follow.

I think I have these LRDG / SAS 28mm Warlord figures finally ready for pre-shipment to the Boot Camp. 😀

Added some additional elements to the bases, rimmed the bases again in brown, added a little more wash and dry brushing, added insignia, wristwatches, and a few other small details, also experimented with small accents of sand on the LRDG vehicles.

@mage to answer your earlier question about Arcworlde it’s probably best if I don’t know what it is haha. I already play too many games.

I don’t think we need to hear my gold recipe again. Although I have managed to acquire several pots of retributor gold… ?

About three hours left then it’s time to call this thread done and pass out prizes. Is somebody going to volunteer to host next week?

[evilstu 15298xp 1]

@mage bigger hammer may have been an easy way of saying trying to get a 0.3mm inch ling acupuncture needle into the pointy end of a nozzle from underneath with a similarly sized hole that was heated to 220 degrees Celsius and ready to spurt out heated plastic. good times 🙂 It is working better now though…

@sundancer Raspberry Pi modded terrain sounds fun 🙂 I wish I had the skill sand patience to implement something like that!

@oriskany LRDG look great! Really inspiring stuff.

@woldenspoons I can’t host next week but I can do the week after if that works for people?

[sundancer 42932xp 1]

@evilstu biggest problem is power… don’t want a cable to come out from it. But powerbanks tend to cut power if not used properly… I’ll still thinking on that 😉

[woldenspoonsParticipant 3557xp 1]

Ok. And that is thread called. Awards when I get home in a couple of hours and if nobody comes to the rescue I will quickly rack my brain for more questions and start the new one.

[woldenspoonsParticipant 3557xp 1]

Thanks so much to everyone for joining in when you could and hope to see you all in the next thread soon

I meant to do a bunch of replies on this earlier but the day escaped me. I have my son up for a visit tomorrow for the weekend before he goes back to school. I’d kinda prefer not to do a weekender thread this weekend and would prefer to maybe host the following weekend instead if thats cool?

[sundancer 42932xp 1]

Hobby Champ? Me? But but but…. why? I don’t really feel like I did anything… not much more than posting some old pictures and a little terrain stuff… thank you 🙂

And congratulations to everybody.

[oriskany 60771xp 1]

Awesome!  Thanks very much @woldenspoons !  😀

[a27cromwell 3187xp 1]

Well done one and all . Some great looking projects and some inspiring paint jobs . Personally I just wasted a four day holiday weekend watching the full box set of Allo Allo , and starting on series one of Dad’s Army ( actually a great weekend ) . Oh , the things I had planned to accomplish ….. maybe this weekend
