TURN 8 22nd September 2011 – Part One
September 22, 2011 by beerogre
Epic does not truly describe the length of this evening's show, but we got through it nonetheless!
We've announced our winners, discussed boardgames and looked at some cool miniatures... and yes... we even had a beer.
There was much talk of Warpath, Kings of War, Cutlass, Warhammer Quest, Dread Fleet and yes, we even touched on the state of Warhammer Fantasy yet again.
So sit back and enjoy the first part of the first part of the show... more will be posted as soon as they're available... so stay tuned.
Check out part two
Older games, I mentioned it in the other thread too! One for you guys,and topical, on ebay, you can get Man o War boxed game for between £30 and £40 , thats about half the cost of the new thingy limited edition spangly special. Which would you get? Me, I’d go with the old game, there must be 300 or so ships and fleets also for sale on ebay, with the new one, you have the miserable amount of ships you get in the box and thats it. Rather ironic that the game out of production for at least 10… Read more »

Shall be going to sit down in the chat lobby shortly lol. In for the long haul with the beers ready to be cracked open.
Darrell, Justin and I hit the pub last night… we’re all in a state today… there may not be that many beers partaken of tonight. 🙁
liar liar pants on fire
hair of the dog?
Finally the August painting comp winner will be announced! I don’t even care if I won anymore, I just want to know what model it was and why after 3 long weeks.
Collaboration with 4 other people around the world takes some time. The kinks should be smoothed out for September’s painting competition.
What @wildchevy said… plus I was the one to hold things up as I was swamped with other stuff.
As I’m not judging the next one. Things should be quicker.
Yeah, what they said… Except we have to give credit to @beerogre and @wildchevy for actually organizing the whole thing !
Sure, I was the first judge to give scores, and I compiled them in the end, but that’s the easy part.
Don’t worry, in September, we’ll do much, much better !
Now, if we could only get some more entries… There’s not much of a competition, right now !

@romain although I liked the challenge of the theme I wonder if bow ramped it too soon and made it tough for people to find models?
@tinracer Sept is a hard month with everyone starting school or trying to get their last bits of summer in. I expect that we should see a lot of last minute entries as everyone hunkers down.
This is exactly why I didn’t enter. I looked through my collection and I just don’t own any barbarians.
I’m adding the last touches to my entry and then it will be up.
Yet again i wont be able to make tonights show. I sure do hope your not giving away anything awesome.
Who am i kidding, you’re always giving away awesome stuff. I just have to act like the fact that i’m missing so many of these giveaways is not slowly destroying me inside.
I’ll be there…beer, nachos and Dairy Milk Chocolate Buttons in hand! 😀
mmmmmmm…chocolate buttons
painting competition who won?
You’ll find out tonight! 😀
Get some glue for your Brushfire figs?

Why Female Armour Sucks 😉
Ohhh… right in the shiny part! lol
the video wouldn’t load for me this time. sad to miss turn 8 over technical issues on my end, but I really don’t have the knowhow to fix malfunctioning live video streams.
@elromanozo So which entries where disqualified and why?
I have to say regarding female miniatures, Infinity does a great job with them. I know even they leave some of the models showing a bit of midriff, but i have found the majority of them still have the necessary armour to match their tactical group. And of course women would show a bit of skin, theyre just using their greatest strength…power over men! I know thats what my missus always uses to make me do the chores.
The main problem with female form and true tactical gear and futuristic armour is if you go for full realism the only difference between a female and a male armoured troop would be the one would be slightly slimmer and even that is sometimes debatable there are some artistic licenses that must be taken if the artist wants to differentiate the form and not just say “model x is female trust me on this” or go to the unhelmeted path and have people say “you just sicked a female head to a make body” all that been said the artistic… Read more »
On the subject of ‘Poor’ paint jobs on company products… Getting a ‘Super Golden Deamon’ Quality paint job on one model can cost as much as getting said model Sculpted and Cast (at least for Metal), multiply that by a squad of models and your throwing away the ability to have more product just to have pretty product. While I don’t like some of the paint scheme choices that Mantic have made, I’d much rather have more models to buy then a handful pretty boxart. What Mantic really needs is a better Photographer, its amazing what a high quality camera… Read more »
Congrats to the winners! Everyone did an excellent job. As hedwerx said…i’d like to know who was disqualified and why also.
Thanks @bacasino, I was shocked that I came in 5th. It’s my first real try at something like that. The others where really mind blowing great!
How about doing Ogre conversions competition since Ogre Kingdoms just released?
I think the competitons need to be wide open topics, to get as many entries as possible. Painting comps need to be themed. Stuff like: human, greenskin, fur, armoured, weathering. Open topics that would push people to concentrate on an aspect of figure painting, but with the knowledge that the figure would be judged as a whole. Footsoldier was a good one, everything from fantasy to the grim-dark future was covered, historicals could join in as pretty much everything barring officers/generals/lords is a footsoldier. Haven’t seen what you’re planning on doing with the conversion comps, so I’ll reserve comment. Though… Read more »
