Giftmas 2022

Another week and another post, this time around there’s actual stuff to reveal. I’ve sourced some bases for a band of minis that will come to me from a 3D printer which will allow me to use my long unused resin crystal clumps from Spellcrow. I’ve made a quick look over ones I have left and considered the amount of leftover space on the bases that won’t be taken up by the figures and come to believe there will be a happy marriage of the two elements. There is the back and forth of how many are too many so I’ll cross that bridge when I get the figures.

There also is a second bit of news for this update that in playing with the AP Speedpaints Magic Blue has come to my attention as being quite useful. I don’t think that I’d replace the Vallejo Dark Blue I’m using for the Arabian Knights but the striking nature of the hue is arresting when taking in the 2’/2″ Rule. I might add a shock color to contrast in order to cement that notion. I have decided against real metallics as previous work doesn’t use that technique.

Now since last post there is yet one more important point as there has been quite a stirring development with bringing on the imaginative and ever busy Blinky465 onboard. This has been noticed, of course, and will be a crucial point of fact when Giftmas arrives with all its bells and whistles.

Blinky, will there be bells and whistles or should we leave those off on technical grounds? Hold off on answering here, you never know who’s listening *cough cough* ahem.
