Hey Team, apologies for quick responses but my shoulder is playing up again (and I promise I haven’t been sitting playing computer games all day or anything and I’m refusing to make the connection to painting for long intervals…) 😛

@sundancer yep as stated last week just need to work out which version of Mel’s book to order. The PDF makes more sense but I do like the tactile nature of an actual physical copy. Yes Star Wars counts as classic – which is concerning because those filme are younger than me… Hrm… Love Cyberpunk – still keen to do a cyberpunk gaming table at some stage… Not familiar with the battle for hoth game – I’m guessing you don’t mean the lego kit game that I found when i did a google search? 😛 BFG and Inquisitor updated and reissued could be great fun! 40 points for questions responses.

@kiranamida I missed the second Heroines in Sensible Shoes but did back the first. The second was tempting but as I had only finished one of the original minis I decided I couldn’t justify it. they are really nice sculpts. I’m guessing the Burrows and Badgers stuff must be of a similar standard given the reception the game has gotten? Yes I remember record stores 🙂 Adn getting told that the band that recorded the album I was trying to order into said record store so I could purchase it didn’t exist… The internet does make things so much simpler in that regard… 🙂  Haven’t read the Wheel of time series – I guess I’ll need to make a call on whether to hold off on the series and read the books or watch the series and potentially have the books viewed through the lens of the TV adaptation. 40 points for responses and pledge.

@robert good to hear that access t music is considered a necessary precondition for the shed to be ‘useable’ 🙂 All of the Oathsworn KS’s? Well done! Yes I hear you on the ZM Minotaurs – I got just the herones pledge and I am really happy with those minis. But having seen the final production quality on those minotaurs… Just wow. At least we can still get them mail order 🙂 It’s nice to have ‘no brainer’ stuff to default back to – I still play Oblivion on occasion (can’t quite manage to go back to the original Morrowind….). Nice point on AoS Manowar – Dwarven aircraft carrier launching zepplins? Now we’re talkin’ 🙂 Nice hobby progress. Best of luck continuing with the sorting and unpacking. 60 points for pledge and question responses.

@rayzryr I love playing the ‘what should have happened by now’ game 🙂 My theory is that second Impact and the crash landing of the Super-Dimensional Fortress Macross must both have been prevented by Astroboy 😛 Makes perfect sense in my head. That Kingdom Death KS sounds like it’s the gift that will keep on giving for years (quite literally given the pledge tier phasing…). I suspect that MBP amd the Monolith games might get a periodic rules update and re-release on KS every couple of years – if they are using it as a marketing and distribution hub it would make sense to leverage off an existing game a second time like KD 1.5. I know what you mean about MBP, the minis look gorgeous, but I think if I had a copy I’d need to devote my hobby time exclusively to that one game to have any hope of getting it all painted (not that that would necessarily be a bad thing…). there was just so much content… Good call on the updated Space Crusade! I have a copy of that floating around somewhere – had been toying with the idea of sourcing replacement upgraded minis and seeing if my nephew was keen to give it a go… A refreshed version could be a nice gateway game, much like Hero Quest was for many fantasy players. 40 points for pledge and question responses.

@limburger all fine choices re KS. Yes hopefully DZC and Dropfleet will gain a bit more momentum moving forward. I backed the Conan RPG because Conan – go t the PDF’s but still haven’t had a chance to do more than flick through a few of them – I may need to invest in a tablet so I have half a chance at reading PDF’s (Phone screen is too small for me…). reality TV has scripts? I thought it was just people with interpersonal issues crammed into distressing situations and circumstances which were designed to make them lash out at one another as it made ‘good television’… As you can probably guess I’m not a fan of the genre 😉 Congrats on the inbound Conan KS. I’d be with @sudacner on having sympathy for your postman but from memory you usually end up having to carry these tings back from the collection centre personally? Might be a good idea to have an ice pack handy for the recovery session afterward ;-P Best of luck pushing on with the Minions! 50 points for pledge and assorted posts and question responses.

@tuffyears wow they look amazing! 10 points for hobby progress.

@oriskany good to see you 🙂 As @limburger says no need to apologise – between Darkstar, Sitrep and your project logs I’m amazed you have any other time available at all… wow, going for a complete clearing of the decks, very ambitious! Nice work on the 20mm Afrika Korps. Wow, 1974 – they actually look like really nice sculpts given the vintage. How were they to work on? 10 points for hobby progress.

@blinky465 nice looking Greyskull! Can’t see any obvious/visible banding in the model, so that’s a good sign. And you have made some progress on Man At Arms too 🙂 Best of luck assembling the new printer. A good point on the current commercial realities of KS. That being said, there are quite a few that I have backed (usually in-house metal mini castings or 3d model files) that are obviously small scale and quite niche, so I know that it’s not all bad 🙂 I can see how being directly involved in the gaming industry would make you a little jaded towards playing games for entertainment – you would probably spend half the time either mentally deconstructing what was happening ‘under the hood’ as it were, or identifying shortcomings and workarounds that distracted you from any relaxation or enjoyment. Heh, my vinyl is also all stashed somewhere – haven’t owned a record player for a good 15 years now… 40 points for pledge and question responses.

@woldenspoons look after yourself! Remember that caffeine is not a substitute for sleep 😉 10 points for the hobby pledge.
