Oh no, not again. Oh yes, it is that time again. Time to get messy and slop paint everywhere! Another week draws to a close and you know where you want to be. It’s like ‘Cheers’, but without any rehabilitation. If you are old enough to remember that show…remember Lilith? I doubt she was named after Adam’s first wife either if you know what I mean…
Read EVERYTHING before you commit to posting. If you have a problem(s) understanding ANYTHING then please ask before you decide we are the Fourth Reich or the latest klavern of the Klan.* Anyone posting that they want to purge filth like us from the internet will be asked not to take part. This thread tends to attract the “old dog” types and even though you can teach old dogs new tricks, most of the time they just want to have a snooze and scratch their nuts every now and again. We tend to say what we think/know as we have been around a bit, done stuff, and know more than you might think. Bare that in mind at all times and I think we will be fine.
This thread is not for hatred, but for the love of toy soldiers, talking nonsense, and getting to know each other and new people. If you think it is more than that – it is in your head!
If you want to join the fun then this is how you do it: first you have to make your “pledge“. It can be anything gaming related and it can be as large, or small, as you like or have time for. The best thing is that it is not a competition and you don’t have to finish it while you are here. No, in here “happiness is the road” and as it is not a race you can just enjoy yourself. However, you do have to present us with photographic evidence of your hard work.
Remember: no pledge = no play!
This thread is supposed to be ‘conversational‘ and to get things started there are some questions for you to answer. No text speak either and the use of “basically” is totally banned. It doesn’t mean anything! Writing it is even more laughable. We all get to learn something about each other as we interact. The questions are just for fun so don’t make them into something they are not. If your reply gets ‘points’ after it that is to represent my smile.
1. fantasy fight-club: 3 people you would have a square go with.
2. what kind of bathroom/toilet person are you? Are you in-and-out with nothing more than a shake or do you like to read your new rule book while dropping depth charges…do tell. Do you have any good words for when you go? Is it a cable, monkeys finger, King-Kongs cigar, Billy the Brown Bear, or do you just ‘drop the kids off at the pool’? No biology lessons please.
3. worst thing(s) about being at school as a teenager? Were you the Jock or the Nerd? (any bets for people in here)
It is expected that your work is accompanied by only the very best sounds. Write us a playlist. Discovering new stuff rules. No headphones and play at 11. No wuss rock either. In here your entire character can be destroyed by posting some dreadful song for us. If you asked me to help you get rid of a dead body then no problem (I know a guy with a piggory), but don’t ask me to listen to Muse. I am not that kind of girl. As I typed that the Electric Chairs started playing…it has started again.
While here you should feel free to boast, tell a joke or a sad story of love and woe, show pictures, and generally do all the things that are not encouraged out there in the real world.
When you are here just pretend that we are having afternoon tea with my Grandmother and you will get on fine. If you behave like a gentleman, or lady, then your stay here will be all gravy and biscuits. I would have said tea with my Aunt Stella, but she would have all your money at cards within an hour. She could also swear like a boiler-stokers reunion. All those years I spent in the company of common soldiers and I never heard half the words she used to use. She taught me ‘bugger, bugger, bugger’ when I started talking much to my mothers horror.
We also adopt Glasgow pub rules: NAE POLITICS & NAE RELIGION. However, if you need to make a better point then it is fine so long as it does not turn into a lecture.
No taking the piss either or you’ll be lookin oot fae the malkie. Read the sign…
There is only one ‘rule’ in here that you cannot break, change, or transmute…NO DICKS! Firms. (‘firms’ means that this is absolute)
Right, if that is all as clear as mud…you may begin. Play nice.
* The next Fourth Reich meeting is on tuesday. 7pm in the lounge of “The Dockers Fist”. No hoods as mine is in the wash. There will be a BBQ following the cross-burning.
Pledge, not Kickstarter, I will do some more work on my terrain.
And yesterday I won a game of SW:L against the owner of my FLGS. Not by much, but a win is a win. I used a new list and spawned 9 activations. Much fun was had. (And with the new rules reference book my 799 points list is now a 781 list which gives me even more options! 8))
Setup at turn 1:
…and at the end of turn 6 not much left:
Pledge – Do a bit more sculpting on my Nurglefiend
Finish these Panzer IVs and start on some Stugs and Panthers.
Questions –
1. The only fantasy fighting I am interested in are the books.2. This really is a shit question.
3. The worst thing about being a teenager at mixed sex-school was being a walking erection, literally. Jocks is a horrible American import and jocks and nerds didn’t really exist in Northern Irish Grammar Schools in the 90s (or at least the one I went to) – the only group that had a name was the god squad. I played rugby but I also played Warhammer… no-one ever called me anything but my name (to my face anyway).
Here you go. I put a wash over the front just to make the detail a bit easier to pick out. These are the new Nox Troops. Nox = Night and it is said that these troops will come out of the night and steal the very light from your soul. No thanks!
How good are these minis?
Brilliant picture. I have been sorting through the last lot I downloaded. Everyone does this, right?
Just in case anyone else plays KSP – how do you like my experimental Munar Station?
So stuff I just finished this week were the Cypher Lords for Warcry and teaching some friends to play the game.
1. Yeah the only fighting I care about is if I need to punch a fascist.
2. In and out. No need for developing a prolapse.
3. Worse thing about high school – the more insidious type of bullying. So I was never targeted by violent bullying, and as a small high school that would have not gone down well with everyone knowing everyone. University was a great equaliser when you are free to reinvent or express yourself more freely without the historical baggage of school. If anything divisions at school were more based on being preppy popular townies, or more alternative types.
Pledge – likely some terrain for Warcry I am picking up today, and finally painting Blackstone Fortress.
Good Morning All!
My dance card’s filling up fast, so I don’t know how much hobby I’ll get done this weekend. I’ve had to take a break from all the “pre-reading” for my ESL course. I’m burning out already, and technically, the courses don’t even start till Monday! Still, pledge I must!
Pledge: I’m going to work on stats for my two Battlesystem command groups: commander, bugler, standard bearer for both my orc horde and my barbarian horde. All the mini’s are done, including a few non-army figures that will jerk the characters around. Not sure I posted a finished version of this.
I like the translucent Reaper Bones stuff for doing watery critters. I brushed on primer on the base before painting it, but the water weird itself just got a bit of a wash around the face and base, and a ‘foamy’ drybrush in places. The final touch was gobs of shiny varnish.
I would like to work on game boards, but my nephew’s wedding snuck up on us, which will completely f*ck my Saturday. Rant complete.
Questions:
1. Who would I fight? Long story. In honour of Aboriginal Day last year one came through the front door at 11:30 at night and attacked Vi. I was already in bed as it was a weeknight and I had to be up at 4:30 AM. She got away from the guy and ran up the stairs to get me. She rousted me out of a deep sleep by yelling ‘Intruder’. Luckily for both of us, the guy tripped coming up the stairs, so I was able to meet him at the top of the landing. A kick to the chest sent him back down the stairs, and took most of the fight out of him. I was able to ‘entertain’ him till the RCMP arrived.
This spring I was cutting the tall grass beside the driveway and found a Colt .45 Peacemaker. I guess the guy had planned on using it, but dropped it, and couldn’t find it in the dark. I wondered why he didn’t at least have a knife or a baseball bat. Once I found that out I wanted to have another go at him. His hospital stay would have been a lot longer.
Next person I want to pumphandle: the guy who stole my miniatures from my LGS last September. I know who he is, but he’s moved to Nova Scotia.
Last person: the guy who stole my camera last week at my LGS!
2. Toileting: I’m an in-and-out kinda guy. I’ve got things to do! Normally I would just “pinch one off” but I’ve got a stomach bug this week, which has turned my ass into a shotgun, rather than dropping a satisfying steamy coiler.
3. The worst thing about being in school as a teenager was being in school as a teenager. Who thought it was a good idea to try and cram my head full of knowledge when all those raging hormones were controlling my life? Beer, pot, cars and girls were the only things I cared to learn about. I was on the 4-year plan in high school, and only graduated by the skin of my teeth. Odd, as I have a 4.3 GPA in university right now.
Jock? Guilty as charged. I was on the volleyball and basketball teams.
Music: sorry, can’t give you a link as I can’t play videos or bring up YouTube at work. Listening to Headstones right now “Long Way to Neverland.” I also like “Tweeter and the Monkeyman” if anyone is looking for more of their music.
I can see I have a lot to go through already! What a great start!
