@evilstu enough of your confusing mind games! 😀

 

@rayzryr Its an after school type of thing. Maybe check facebook for local lego clubs?

It’s good one of them is keeping the music up. I did the piano as a kid but disliked it. I don’t think I hated the piano itself but I was at an age/stage where I didn’t like to practice and I was never really encouraged at home to do so. Also the teacher was a cow. While I like music and instruments I cannot really play and that time from my youth was… out-putting.

Slow work tonight, I glazed the skin on Grey a couple of time. I’m still not happy. I think that one will be dipped and start over. Drow and Palid I’m ok with and will move them on to the next steps. Spent a fair bit of time looking for colour inspiration. Also spent a bit of time putting together a basic Ork list for Killteam! Going to have my first game Sunday coming.

Best of luck with Kill Team!

 

What kind of inspiration are you looking for for your Dark Elves? What do you want em to look like? Colours to avoid? Etc.

@woldenspoons …aahhh… thanks???

@mage I get what you’re saying about the music. I had a very similar experience with the keyboard/ piano, though I did have a nice teacher.

What I’m really trying to do is try out some different skin tones. These minis are just the testers. When I look online I find good examples of Dark Elves with various skin tones.

Just a few examples.

I remember yeaaaaars ago seeing a really well painted Dark Elf Army in White Dwarf that used a Grey skin tone. But that would’ve been back in the early 2000’s.

So I think I prefer either the grey or palid look, maybe with a few Drow added in. I’ve not got any one game system in mind, but I want to use them wherever- Warhammer Fantasy/ AoS/ Quest/ DnD or any other generic fantasy setting.

@rayzryr You’ve got Raging Heroes elves for pink and have the Bloodbowl of GW too. Have you taken a looked at Sukubus Studios? The display CG may give you more to consider for your palette.

@horati0nosebl0wer thanks for the suggestion, I hadn’t seen Sukubus Studios before. They’ve got some shmick looking stuff! But nothing is grabbing me for the colours for what I’m trying to do here. Thanks though! ?

Mornin’ everybody

yesterday evening I spontaneously played a “short” 800 points game of Star Wars Legion. After 4 hours we arrived in round 3. The result at that point was most likely a draw with a slight tendency to a victory of the Imperials (myself).

What I learned in the process:

1. If you play on a 6’x4′ mat, then it is essential that you *before* equipping it with terrain stake out the 1′ on the mat that does not play along. Then your long ranged fixed 1.4 laser turret will have something to hit 😉
2. If Snowtroopers want to aim *and* shoot, they have to aim first and then move. On the other hand, the order would be “Move, free action, ranged attack, and then aim”.
3. Snipers are really effective.

Especially the 1′ cost us unnecessary time and action yesterday and caused a lot of frustration on my opponents side.

Now, after 5 hours of sleep: Coffee, work and then some.
