Thank you @crazyredcoat great work mate!
Sorry I wasnt able to contribute the last couple of weeks folks, but I’m hoping to get a bit of hobby time later this evening 🙂
So my pledge will be a but of flames of war this week. I would like to get my starter German army to its ‘I’m ok to call it done’ phase.
I got it to the ‘its looks grand during a game’ phase (so built, base texture, primed, zenithed and a bit of basic basing) during the bootcamp. I’m trying to set that level as a new basic entry point for me and armies, so they have some basic colour and a possible basing scheme so when I field it it adds to the game in some way.
The challenge will be does anything I do at the basic stage stop me from doing anything cool in the next stages… mmm… painting the minis should be fine, but possibly the basing step might make is hard to do a better basing scheme later… but hey that’s what I’m testing so we will soon find out.
The ‘ok to call it done’ phase is pretty simple to… flesh, bit of leather, weapons and a final soft tone wash to tie it together warm the uniform and cover my shit brush work (which is truly shit btw lol)
Questions
1. mmmm my personal preference is not to mess around with a good IP, I often find crossovers a bit cheesy if not done well. I think in the hobby space at least we like to absorb ourselves into the whole thing and anything that potentially breaks that suspension of disbelief can be a negative… so handle with care 🙂
2. I dont know tbh and I’m not soooooo invested in any piece of IP to be offended by the idea. I see it as a souvenir and yeah my live and live attitude kinda says fair play to them lol
3. Thankfully no, and I can see exactly where this could arise in even a coop game where a special kind of individual starts to negatively impact on others.
Be back this evening folks, till then…
