Good morning! Another busy day ahead of me. Raining so it will be limited to indoor activities with my boy but we have no shortages of things to do or places to go within that context. Ill try get a pic done of the firebelly before breakfast.
One Week Challenges I have in mind:
A board game (Myth, Super Dungeon Explore, GKR, minis I use for D&D, Arcworlde)
A skirmish game (Batman, Mythos, Shattered Earth, Necromunda, Mordheim)
Lord of the Rings Army (I have several)
Warhammer 40,000 Army (I have several)
A Horus Heresy Army (Warhammer 30,000, also have a couple of armies)
Age of Sigmar Army (I have several)
GW Board Games (Space Hulk, Necromunda, Burning of Prospero, Betrayal at Calth)
That’s it off the top of my head. Furthermore I could theme stuff along different lines; the 3rd War for Armageddon or the Badab War for Warhammer 40,000 for instance.
Dreadfleet, that takes me back. A little. One of the lads I used to game with at an old group I left pushed hard for it and painted a whole set. We were both coincidentally on a day of annual leave (as opposed to a day off) one day and met up for a game. He demoed it to me and we had fun, he won. Things soured for me when he got a little cocky, only a little, and slightly bragged afterward of ‘getting a second win down this week’. This was a good while before I left the group. It was years ago and I still remember it. I was peeved at the guy and never played the game with him again because his attitude stank.
Star Wars too? Looks great and fantastic play matts. Whats the other game? Also why is the last one in German?
Oh yeah, the Death Guard have these weird fiery poo cloud magic effects don’t they?
I remember watching Action Force as a child, dubbed over intro for GI Joe of course. Good stuff.
Stormcast are coming along nicely and the Death Guard are looking suitably entrophied 🙂
OSL is not something Im sure I’d like to spend a whole lot of time trying in vain to perfect. The most Id ever try is the drybrushing effect ala my Darth Vader mini. Then again there is a nice Witch Hunter Diorama from Mordheim I can think of. I’d like to maybe imitate it in some way as a personal challenge at some point. It is a golden demon entry in some old white dwarf. Not sure I even own it. Weird how something random stays in your brain like that.
Haven’t seen your endeavours in OSL.
10 hours? Sweet Christmas!
Not familiar enough with Killteam to make a call on Space Hulk compatibility but sounds fun
Your historicals are looking good. What varnish do you use?
Cool reaper mini. When are you trying out the ink on it. As for the Skaven, I am not sure the particular shade of grey works on them, it kind of looks like sprue plastic without a wash or highlight.
Odd photo of mid swoop magpie, I dig it.
You seem to powering through quite a bit of hobby yourself there.
How handy are you getting with 3D printing? Fancy a commission that will annoy you?
Loving your material so far, would have posted a more detailed, inclusive post sooner but life and all that. Is the metal providing an adequate challenge or a source of frustration? Cannot wait to see more.
