@biggabum shading black and grey up and down form the same basecoat wouldn’t have occured to me, results look great so have to say the approach has worked a charm. Hrm… Mattys silence is bought cheaply. I’d have held out for 3 Freddos and a Mars bar… Yes the Army Painter tins are a varnish, they smell terrible, are sticky and will make a mess of anything they contact. However if dipping and flicking off the excess one tin will do 150-200 minis very quickly. If you brush it on it will last even longer. Once the varnish is dry up pretty well protects the min so just hitting it with the matt coat to dull down the shine should be fine.

@dawfydd that reminds me, one of my work colleagues was very excited as they are bringing out a lego Voltron kit soon apparently… Wow, I’m not going to count then but that is looking close to a company of Primaris? That will be some serious batch painting… Good progress on the knights – great looking colour scheme too, should be really striking on the larger canvas that the minis provide.

@woldenspoons ah fair enough. Well the coverage looks great and I can’t see any apparent loss of detail so well played 🙂 Congrats on the win, it’s nice when a plan works. Sorry to hear your opponent may have gotten a little disheartened. Nice new shinies!

@tuffyears looks like it was a glorious day for an air show 🙂 Nice finishing touches on the guard and objectives. Guard addiction doesn’t seem to be too bad a ting given the list of addictions people could develop. At least that’s what I use to convince myself when I try to organise my piles of shame… New cruiser looks like a cinematic mashup between the Blues Brothers and Mad Max. Well played 🙂

@oriskany impressive nonetheless. I really like the shop designs for your game too – they have a sense of weight to them (which I know makes no sense as they are in space, but I’m sure you appreciate the point i’m attempting to make…). It’s nice that your gaming group is working towards a game that they enjoy playing. I know from DMing RPG’s a fair bit it can be less of ‘working towards a game everyone enjoys’ as opposed to ‘here’s the leftovers which aren’t on the list of things I have sworn I will never try again’ 😛 How are you feeling on the no carb diet?

@limburger cold salad recipes are making me hungry! Congrats on getting the generator rolling. Yse does look authentic 🙂

@mage post your hobby updates or we will collectively badger you! And it won’t be a pleasant badgering either…

How was the movie? Still haven’t gotten around to seeing it. The Wasp is my GF’s favourite character from the comics so we’ll probably heading in shortly.

@paul Mills welcome! Not really familiar with the 2000 AD stuff but the mini is coming along nicely.

@torros went looking for the recipe and got distracted by the many pretty armies… Thanks for sharing the link 🙂
