Good Morning everybody.

@sundancer some amazing stuff going on there. Haven’t had a game of Dreadfleet in years. And the table second from the top looks amazing. Would love to get a game of Freebooters Fate on that.

@mage and @evilstu Believe me I had my problems with OSL over the years (and still have it as @lancorz pointed out a few hobby hangouts back, no worries really appreciated the feedback). I tried the thinning method for years. Thats were you thin the paint down like 10:1 and go for a billion layers. But i always pooled to much for me in the recesses and never coated the highlights. I went to the “drybrushing” method, were you practically drybrush the single layers on really carefully. Had much better results with that. Will do that on the power weapons on the Kasrkin tonight.

@evilstu we played a double blind space hulk game years back. One GM (perfectly managed by @andre77 ) who had all the infos and two sides which only saw their troops and told the GM where to move. Then there were air ducts, auspex scans etc. Once you saw an enemy the minis were actually placed on the centre table and the engagement was fought. Once one side was defeated and no reinforcements arrived the remaining troops became “invisible” again. It took like 10 hours to play through but was amazing fun. We used I think 5th edition 40k rules. Haven’t had a chance to read through the Kill Team rules but if they are anything like in the past, they would work perfectly for a scenario / setup like that.
