Coffee, lunch and thread comments – not necessarily in that order 😉

@tuffyears I like what you’ve done with the IG, and in such a shirt time frame too. great work 🙂 Faces look fine and objectives are a nice thematic and narrative idea.

@woldenspoons very striking work on the Stormcast. How are you finding applying base colours over the gold undercoat? I would have been nervous about getting a good coverage but you seem to have it all in hand. New toys?…

@a27cromwell consistency is good – that’s how the world keeps working so don’t go feeling that there is anything wrong with that 🙂 heh, you are making me feel slightly less worried about my ‘to do’ pile 🙂

@torros yes the timeline change is a bit of an odd thought experiment once you start to unpack it (rather than the nonsense response I gave initially…). if nobody believed you you probably would end up thinking you were wrong (or mistaken, or under some form of mental duress), not sure what it would mean if a few other people agreed with you. I guess you might end up with a scenario like the alien hunters who drive around Nevada at night trying to spot UFO’s – a small group committed to what they do and um, ‘politely tolerated’ by the rest of society? Hrm, well better in an Argentinian arsenal than in my neighbours shed I guess…

@biggabum well good to hear the newre casts are improved at any rate. Yeah not sure what to do about furnishings for grimdark gothic future buildings… fantasy stuff I can do no problem. 40K, maybe glue pipes onto a whole bunch of skulls and affix to the front of some computer console looking gear? Batman looks AMAZING. really great work on the grey and the black, and making them both distinctive. Great job on Batgirl too, and the rest of your pledge 🙂

I see what you did there 😛 Well I have rejected a number of other Space Marine chapter ideas… There was the Happy Pandas, the Fuzzy Chipmunks, the Sleepy Kittens and the Baby Otters….

@sundancer making me feel old again 😛 Supplies look great, should detail up a Legion battlefield nicely.

@oriskany I think you may have hit the nail on the head with regard to the alternate reality. I personally find South Park very hit and miss and think The Simpsons probably needed to stop a good 20 seasons ago but i did find the older stuff funny at the time. That’s just ‘playing around’? So ‘rolling up your sleeves’ would mean winning six oscars then? 😛

@limburger all the time is a good time for The Ramones 🙂 yes when watching ‘classic’ tv series like Buck rogers or the original Battlestar Galactica (or even dare I say Star Wars for that matter…) I usually can’t get past the haircuts without giggling… That is some great looking battlefield scatter. Are you thinking of painting it up? Looks like it would take detailing very nicely.

@mage re the gut plates the brown/tan colour looks like it has a reflective horizon line on it (possibly due to the shading?) that made it look like NMM and it just caught my eye. It’s a nice counterpoint to the blue skin colour too. How are you looking for Mordheim terrain? yeah avocado ois li just like olive oil, coconut oil or macadamia oil in that you can cook with it, fry things in it etc. Apparently it’s really good for making dips and things with but I’m just not that fancy/motivated. Ha, don[‘t go awarding me big points for a pledge  – I still have to actually get some of that stuff done first ;-P
