Tunes bcs ….. no reason ever neeeded for tunes 😉
1. Do you have a successful, tried and true, plan or approach to tackle hobby projects? If so, how do you go about it?
lol – I wish! I usually just rush headlong in. Snip, prep, dry fit and then figure out sub-assemblies and get them built then everything goes up on pins and into jenga blocks for priming then into rathcore corks for painting. I try not to work on more than 3 or 4 minis at any one time. That NEVER is successful! I have two different areas for current mins being worked on m now. The most immediate ones right in front of me, 4-5 minis at most and then all the rest (about 15 at the mo) up on a shelf behind me. As one thing gets finshed from those in front of me, it gets swapped out from the crowd of shame behind me
2. Props in gaming – do you use any bolt-on game hacks like customised or scratch-made turn counters, objective markers, condition markers, tokens, deployment points, dice towers, or visual aids? If so please post pics and info on how you use them and how they assist in gaming
Nope. I paint 99% more than I game. However – IF I gamed more I would probably use some of those snazzy gear and sheet panels for KD:M. A dice tray is a must. Cheat sheets with a simple run down of the rules, turns etc in short form would be used as well
3. What part of hobby gives you the biggest uplift? I.e., does playing a game give you the endorphin hit or are you happier building and painting? Any elements of the hobby that you don’t enjoy or that feel like a grind or a chore?
The rush as a mini gets closer and closer to being finished. Then there is the pre high high when I pin it to its newly built and painted base before doing final touches and the biggest rush when its finally down and brush is down.
A chore……. not really. I actually quite like the prep and build stages as well. Not as much as the painting but still quite enjoy the intial stages.
