With all the added 17% increase in impromptu enthusiasm that can be purchased through the joy of a chocolate candybar “…yay…”

For the pledge this week. Get the turret on one of the tanks I ordered painted and the weapon options set with magnets.

On to the questions…

1. I think that there might be room for using the other Chaos gods aside from Nurgle and Khorne in GW supported Blood Bowl teams. Nurgle is evident as a team all to its own. If you take a look at the Chaos Dwarves there’s Khorne influence there. Neither Tzeentch nor Slaanesh get any love in official minis. I doubt there really will be much in the way of support for Slaanesh due to the complication of “adult themes”.

Even in FUMBBL there was nothing other than Chaos for team composition. If the rules for Amazons were tweaked slightly with the Vampire Lords then have models akin to the ones from Sukubus Studios it should work out well. Perhaps have some frenzied cultists kitted out in chains during their throes of ecstasy as thralls would work. Then I guess you could kitbash some Daemonettes as Blitzers. Maybe if there were a Keeper of Secrets as their Big Guy (I forget what Nurgle’s Rotters get). Other positions I have little idea how to fill out at the moment.

2. Household items I’ve considered converting to gaming items… normally anything around my house is fair game. I’d say that toothpicks are a good start. Clip them and shove the clipped end into a cut section of foam and then build up from there for fantasy earthworks. Popsicle sticks are great for building up wooden platforms faster than trying to do it with coffee stirrers. Used dryer sheets can probably be repurposed as netting for wargames if you douse it with some PVA and let dry in the position you want and color it to taste. That’d sure beat buying the stuff normally marketed for 35mm.

3. A favorite end to the weekend? I normally do laundry in order to prepare for the upcoming week but its not exactly something I am ecstatic about. Sure I like having the ability to wear a clean pair of ass covers regularly but its more a necessity. I guess the goofing off with videogames while the wash is running is my wind down time.

Now… for @dawfydd as you’ve always been good to provide Transformer lore…

 

@sundancer I heartily support the idea of ewoks. Let them loose with their Indomitable Treetrunk Technology!

@woldenspoons I think that the idea for nailpolish to be used as a mask for metal etching is great. I caught a little bit of that in this video and I think it would work for other areas of etching

@rayzryr I think that the Changing Breeds expansion for Werewolf poked a little into the Australian legends but put the Bunyip as a breed that went extinct. I know that there was quite a bit in the fluff with their War of Rage (?) as to why the world was as it was in the aftermath

Off to Netflix binge a bit and maybe game
