It’s friday and why not. This week I have avoided the ‘news’ (except when I was litening to the radio in the bath) and it does make you feel better. So, how are all of you? Rested and ready for another round of combat I hope.
Make sure you read all of this before you start as it saves any problems later. If you just want to come and leave some snotty comment then just don’t bother as I won’t even read it! Anyone who misses the point should go somewhere else until they do. It is just for fun and nothing else. Get over it.
First thing you have to do is make your “pledge“. It is really easy…anythng gaming related will do. Play a game, stick stuff together, slop some paint, or do it all if you want. The best bit is that you don’t have to finish it! No, in here ‘happiness is the road‘ and you are just suppose to have fun while having fun. You do need to support your work with photographic evidence.
We like a bit of chatter, but no text speak or using the word “basically”. Try it, it’s really good. To get this going I present you a few questions. See…the excitement never stops.
1. What do you like to watch? Be specific. Do you know why?
2. When you see a new miniature what do you think? Do you see a use for it or just buy it because you are a Magpie? If you are looking for something new or for a project how do you pick what you want?
3. Tell us some things that you want to do in the future…either tomorrow or sometime?
It is expected that you accompany your work with only the every best mooziks. Write us a playlist so we can discover new stuff, but no wuss rock. No headphones either and play at 11. However, don’t stop there. Post some pictures, boast, brag, tell a story, a joke, but make sure you join in!
In here it is Scottish pub rules: NO RELIGION & NO POLITICS. However, if it better makes your point or you need to point something out then it is fine, but don’t take the piss. This sign explains all…
There is only one rule that cannot be altered…NO DICKS. Firms. If you have any complaints about ‘the rules’ then it is tough. I don’t care. They are what they are. I am a massive dick, but like all good overlords the rules don’t apply to me. A-HA, HA, HA, HA, HA…
You may begin.
How about some definitions? Do you have words/expressions for things where you are from – like these…
@mage – I did it on the bedroom door and Heather went Bez! I thought it was hilarious, but she was orbital with rage. However, it does sound awesome. If you like that there are some better ones if you have some time on your hands.
How about a ‘Boston Pancake’ or ‘Californian Suntan’?
I also sent away for this:
You can also get these sets:
I see that my popularity is as high as ever…
Added some darker washes before I add the real base colour. Next ze airbrush!
I was hoping our “filth” would be “purged” before today so I could have a weekend off…you can’t trust anyone.
p.s., it’s the light that is making the paint look like it was poured on. Honest!
I found this picture for @robert when he decides to appear!
Peter Cushing as Dr. Who. See, I told you.
…carry on.
Pledge: Something something hobby. It’s best I don’t commit, as my weekends rarely turn out as planned. The residential sergeant major has a list…
1. What do I watch? War documentaries. Weird. I can see the same one fifty times but if it comes on TV everything stops, and I adopt a trance like state, with a stream of spittle dripping off my chin. The WWII ones have the worst effect on me. The new ones are good too, but there’s often unwanted analysis tossed in by pundits who don’t necessarily have a grip on the subject matter, or themselves. I’m looking at you, Lynette Nusbacher. I can draw my own conclusions, thank you.
2. I’m not a magpie when it comes to figures. I have set orbats for all my fantasy armies, and really only look for figures that fill slots or capabilities. For instance, I have long been looking for artillery for my orc horde, and when I saw the Zealot ballista wielding minotaur, I was sold.
I also need a few battering rams for the same army. These will do nicely:
I have been known to replace mini’s with better mini’s from time to time, even ones that aren’t painted yet.
Same goes for sci-fi. I’m currently putting together two Traveller combat teams, one human, and one alien, along with indigenous desert world critters. I don’t buy outside of what I need for that scenario, but I buy from many different companies to get the look I want.
Recently Vi talked me into 15mm WWII, but I haven’t bought much… yet. I could still have my magpie moment.
3. Plans for the future. I want to finish my Masters in Medieval History. I now have funding from Veterans Affairs to do so. I may work on a doctorate when I get to 65, as education is free after that. We’re a long lived bunch, so I will still have plenty of time to teach, or just continue to learn. Knowledge is its own reward.
@oriskany be safe. 140 mph winds can wreak havoc on a Panzer Leader board. 😉
Listening to Rush 2112 at the moment, trying to drown out the country music station playing in the next office.
