Hi Guys
Sorry I wasn’t able to participate earlier, work and family commitments tend to bunch up heavily before an event and with UKGE and Bootcamp doubling up its adding up to be quite the pressure cooker lol.
Questions
1) 40k 4th to 5th was a stand out reboot for me, I truly appreciated what cavatore was trying to do at the time and the game just felt less gamey to me and more fluid and fun.
2) The introduction of the penguins into home raiders, while popular and cute they broke the core theme of the game for me where everything as a gritty one to one scale critter making it’s way around your house. Never felt the same about the game or setting after that.
3) Excellent question, no doubt it can hide a lot of sins. And personally I dont think any approach should be considered lazy if it helps you reach some level of satisfaction with your project. So I would say I’m a big proponent of weathering for us folk with slightly less skill or time 🙂
MUSIC
I particularly like this track
PLEDGE
So I’m in early this morning to get a start on my ghost army (first army from scratch for me in a long time)
Ultimately opted to use the AoS minis ghost haunts as the young fellas here in the members suite have been looking to give AoS a go and I said I would muck in with them.
No doubt the minis are beautiful but fuck are they fragile! (Which for me is not a good thing as you know lol)
Would have much preferred to do this with the para bellum models but I’m saving those to actually explore that games background in more detail.
I have really started finding joy in doing a bit of quiet hobby but unlike brother lloyd I cant really commit to doing it in one place so I came up with a plan to make a mobile hobby workstation that I can use where ever I can get the peace and quiet to hobby.
Built it last night (brought manny into the members suite and set him to building his first model – he ended up building 4 space marines and 3 storm casts… I’m very proud of the wee man)
This morning is its first run out and so far so good, most everything I need has a place and I feel quite relaxed knowing where stuff is. lol
