@robert Yes, Epic is nothing but a pain if you look at it as 28mm. A few slaps of color and the things are magically transformed. I added a few special effects to the paint with some masking to airbrush patterns. I don’t know the fluff of 40k much but I think it might work. Are Harlequins their own thing in that universe? I know that they have the most gods awful and gaudy patterns in the whole of the game and the rest of the Eldar seem uniformly different.

As far as keeping warm it was -4F (-20C) when I walked out of work to my car. I can’t say that the uniform polyester trousers are much for insulation. I very much miss the time when I could wear the cargo pant uniform. My jacket, hat and gloves made up for that fact.

@mage Painting with the little ones is good stuff. Happy time to play around and build up the nerdling’s skill level for future development.

@blinky465 Lol! You broke down for the bob cut beefcake to put on your Blood Bowl pitch? I’ve seen that from RN Estudio amid their other work. I shook my head with a grin that there was love for that series going to go to fantasy football (is that technically right in Europe or would that be Guild Ball?).

Forgive the music being from the next decade

@mage **blink blink** WTH? I’m US based and that borked my brain. I had to go back and watch the US version of the intro to clear it all up. Thankfully there was a collection of all the 83-87 themes. It was funny to think back, pick out the different characters on screen and pull their specialties from memory from having various figures (names were hit/miss).

@sundancer What crazy custom is it to throw your crystal ball into the dishwasher? What did you do to…. nevermind. I’ll stop and not ask to save myself the pain of knowing. Thinking of brain twists wasn’t the series ALF known as ADF in Germany? I think I remember that.

As far as the music it did sound like there might have been some influence from Frank Zappa in as far as the vocals.

Thinking of him.. here you go

@limburger I had to go back and watch the opening to Airwolf after humming it to myself. After that I went off on the A Team. Here’s a series “Otherworld” that I remember that was rather interesting where a family on vacation to Egypt gets zapped across time/space.

Then I had to go back to check out Amazing Stories. It was good stuff from John Williams for the opening theme. It might also give some inspiration to Carneval next year. Speaking of Weird Al, he’s got at least one episode feature in it.

@rayzryr Music music music … more to fan the flames of silliness
