Wow, nice to see that the hobby weekenders are still up and running!
Some of you might remember me, some might not, but well i’m Querion and at the moment i’m trying to ease myself back into the hobby and this community. And i think there is no better place for that than here!
So, let’s see those questions!
1.) To be honest, i never thought much about posability or single pose until now. So far i was just looking at the minis and took those i liked and/or that inspired me and nothing else mattered to me. So i guess i like both worlds, posability is nice, but i like them single pose too if it is a nice ad dynamic pose.
2.) Hmm that is a tough one, there are some that i painted and that i really like, but i see the flaws in all of them, and the areas where i still can improve oh so much. I guess i’ll have to go with three pics from my collection here. The best that i think i painted is a close call between my 3 Death Marshalls for Malifaux:
(I’m really tempted to try that whole Ghost Rider-look for my Nighthaunt for AoS)
Or my newest work, which got me the first place in a painting challenge at my local GW store:
But those where just for painting, so far i haven’t tried myself at converting stuff very much, but once i jumped into the cold water and just went a bit crazy with the thought of how would it look if some nurgle demons infested some of the slvaneth tree spritis, and i’m still a little bit proud of what came out in the end:
Just going all in and mixing two sets of minis in that manner was a real blast. my painting is not the best here, but that doesn’t take away all the fun i had during that project.
3.) oh i’m such a butterfly, i buy minis just because i like the looks of them and i’m allways jumping between projects and ideas … some day i really need to finish some of them! In games i’m also drawn towards to many systems that look interesting or that have great minis. And that all gets worse if i look at RPGs, i own a vast collection of different systems and played most of them, and i’ve got an even larger collection of characters for those games … and most of those characters never got used. I just love to read about all those different settings and worlds, and i love to build characters that live in them.
Let’s see, what music do i listen to at the moment:
ok time to read through the thread, i hope i’ll manage to comment a bit later today … but let me tell you: it feels like comming home to be back!
