Neolis

ow don't know that experience but that's a hard pain.

I would pick up that deck if wyrd made it.

Done for me by a very good friend. Weaseling him in to drawing out a western dragon d&d black dragon for the other arm.

It would be a very good idea to announce on the blog when a figure is available, givem that you are only doing limited runs right now. I really wanted the last one, so I subscribed to the blog, assuming it would be mentioned when it was available. Apparently it never was, and is now sold out.

Funny was mentioned in their mailing list. Sounds like a major goof on their part to do the mailing list but not the blog.

Some additional work so far.

Also sorry to say I hope you mean cheating to get the exhume spell off. As you can not cheat on the flip to check to see if you get corpse.

It was something discussed before.

Hi trying to get 2 crews done before Oct 31st so AoM's peeps can whomp me when I go out to play with his gaming group.

Results so far...

I was next to Nathans wife while she was talking to the winner of the raffle. So ic an indeed tell you they drew for the winner. What they picked and who they are I couldn't say though as I have no recalection on that part.

Hopefully the pictures are not to bad. I eventually should be able to get the ones taken at GenCon that will be better then what I can do. I was able to get honorable mention by weird.

Congrats on the gencon win. Also baby Kade painted up real nice. Looking forward to some more wyrd minis. I think Candy could be a lot of fun as well.

Helllllllllllllooooooooooooooo nurse!!!

Ok this is where I would like to jump in.

Well, let's just be clear, the 'hobby' is the 'game' and 'painting'.

So it's 'lets cater to the Gamers only?'

It is the community who wants the divisions not the actual hobby. The hobby doesn't care less about the game, the hobby doesn't care less about the painting. The hobby cares about both equally. It is the people who make issues about one over the other.

The hobby does not exist with out the community to support it. If it was not for the people in to gaming, painting, diorama's, chatting about it on forums and and excited to show their friends about it we very well would all be scrap booking right now.

I came in to all this just painting after stressful days and only picked up the playing aspect when I figured I should have a reason to have 100+ toy soldiers lying around. I have also taken this to the point where I have begun regularly competing in painting competitions (also done more then my share of mini tournaments) I would exist very fine in just the painting realm but I also enjoy the meeting like minded fans as well. I never field unpainted armies unless I have some pretty extenuating circumstances. aka just starting out and picking out a force or list, or in wyrd's case just coming out. I play against a ton of unpainted armies and really don't mind it all. But have found the same stress to have stuff painted as a requirement drive my friend who was developing in to this right out. You know how I got him back in to this stuff? Playing uncharted seas with buisness cards and probably will never push him more then that unless he asks.

I see no reason why show casing each part Painting, Gaming and the whole enchilada in their own respective turn isn't some thing reasonable. May take some creativity but each person should get the right to focus on what they find to be fun. Their is so many reasons to get in this having one stone cold set of guide lines will never be possible. For now though I rather play with my friend who enjoys gaming and makes the process fun then the jerk with a full painted army who pulls out when the dice get rocky. I paint with the jerk every thusday night cause while he is a jerk, he is at least passionate and knowledgeable about painting. While each may be missing out on a side of the "hobby" I really find they get more out of it as they are enjoying what they find the best.

I find no issue with what PP did and find them giving an forum for each side of the deabte very good. Painters have their contest, Gamers have the various tournement formats, and the hella serious ones have Hardcore which challenges and rewards paitning and various ways of playing.

I spend 40+ hours painting a mini at times and don't see why I should make others spend the same amount of time or any. Sorry for this length and I hope it doesn't come off as prechy, ranty or rude. I just honestly don't see why this has to be this difficult to find middle ground and let people enjoy how they want.

I will not respond to the topic any more but please feel free to post your reply. If any one would like to continue to discuss this with me please feel free to give me a pm.

Happy B-day Stubs

Neolis was my first role playing character ever some 13+ years ago. Sort of became a steady alter ego for me online and in-life when I am doing some of my "geeky" hobbies. The character was an elf so I often will tease with the name. Like my Blog is called wicked elf minatures.

As a web-comic I read has a gag of, Neolis is just the were-geek me when I am able to just let it out and not worry about it. Cause I know every one has had a hell of a time trying to explain this hobby at least once.

Have to agree the hair came out very nice and the base gives a nice flow in to the mini. Congrats on the "best of wyrd" at Gen Con. I might have to start stealing the short wood plinth idea for show case minis.

I wanted to make Frustrated Father a little less frustrated. So far he hasn't had many Wyrd mini pictures from this years gen-con so I am posting my attempt at the brass ring this year.

and my quickly made studio one

Unfortunately I am in an ongoing battle with my camera and any sort of studio photos.

And in the Gen-con case

I just moved and very happy I was able to dedicate a room to my hobbies.
