I am just now realizing how specific the example on this page is.

Just an update on the event now that I'm finally getting out of my work slog for the week. It was a ton of fun overall and some good learning passed around like a dutchie on the left hand side. Meanwhile, everyone under 30 is scratching their heads... There was some demoing Some good painting times The rare opportunity to learn you have been doing things in the most complicated possible way Yes there was even the worlds shortest tutorial on the "GhettoJug" and the painting contest was a good time all around. Photos are in order of Prize level.

As long as it's full and cold when you get there, it shouldn't be a problem

If you get a chance to bring an old Milk jug tomorrow you can walk away with your very own GhettoJug™ [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_symbol]And bring your best painted Malifaux Mini for the contest! 5 Bucks per tiny dude! 1st and 2nd prize split the pot.

You can argue it all you want tomorrow.

Now with 12% more "sandpaper" . Absolutely Sir! Also on the 31st we're doing a painting workshop. It would be a great to have you out and get you started on that crew!

Well, I actually set it as a recurring event on the Wyrd Calendar that clearly no one else uses. But just because I love you, I fixed the post. if you think that's bad you should read the synopsis. Also, the document of stat tracking is available for all to view HERE. Negative number= Your Current Handicap. Obviously, more games will be necessary before proper averaging can be implemented. For all you out of towners, I'm looking to run a painting workshop on the 31st, a themed Valentines Event on February 7th, and the first Tournament of the year in late February. More details as we get closer to the days. Cheers!

Greetings Malifaux dwellers! Tuesdays FROM 6 to Midnight at RIW Hobbies In Livonia Michigan. Thar's a new Henchman in town and we're going to start this Malifaux tumbleweed tumbling on the right foot. First an foremost, our benefactor Pam has seen fit to continue the time honored tradition of giving us sweet discounts on all Malifaux product while we play in the Green room. That's 20% off all your necrotic needs. So for Gods sake, come on by, make some crude jokes, complain to local developer Nerdelemental about the fluff, shoot our zombies, and cash in on some sweet sweet loot. Second, we'er going to try something new here. Starting tonight I will be collecting data on all of the games, and players that show up. Why? "Why is the league prize always chloroform?" Seriously though, I am setting up statistics tracking to create the worlds first Malifaux Bowling league. Regular players scores will be tracked and eventually a handicap system will be put in place to help low scoring players compete in a league with the local hotshots. Eventually this will pave the way for more competitive play and even.. brace yourselves... a full on Malifaux Campaign: "Battle for the City." Worried about book-keeping and writing everything down? Don't worry, that's all on me. All you do is show up and play three games to set your average. Pandemonium guys? Shenanigans Players? East siders? C'mon over and give it a go. If nothing else you are guaranteed the chance to beat the tar out of that idiot from the pseudo-painting thread.

You should come down to RIW one of these Tuesdays! A little extra-practice never hurt! Also I could use another Rezbian to play against

... Before you even ask, "Skyrim and Saints Row." Ooooh Moira.. you little minx you... So, where were we? Oh... putting these blasted things together. A quick note on past results. The green stuff you have to remember sets over time, so the longer it sets, the more brittle its going to become. My bad. But lets be honest, I am not formally trained in doctor science, nor doctology. So, to recap, there a ton of bonding options out there, and I know I could say with a ream of evidence that the ONLY option to stick your minis together is coconut milk and egg yolks, but there is a reason they don't sell two part coconut-milk, yolk apoxy at the hobby store. (Yes, hobby store... because I live in the 50's apparently.) Gussy it up all you want man, If you put that Ice Pillar on the treasure token I am going to dump a Josta down your pants. So continuing on here, cyanoacrylate is just dandy, but there is a distinct problem we can have all run into here. Try typing a blog entry with Mortimer's shovel glued to your index finger... lets see how fast YOU update. There has GOT to be a way to get this stuff to dry faster right? Well a quick poll of the internet reveals a gamut of methods that frankly, make coconut milk and egg yolk sound way less crazy. So Three drops of blood... and spin counterclockwise.. then Hecubus will appear before me.. and hold the f-ing thing together while it dries. Here's a quick mythbusting history lesson: In 1942, a couple dudes were trying to make a clear plastic for cheap gun sights. What they did instead is glue "man to metal, sight barrel to man, site barrel to table, man to table, man to man...," basically everything but "make clear plastic lens that doesn't instantly bond to my bidness." Seeing an opportunity for the burgeoning "adhesion play" fetish market, they sold the rights to Loctite, and 'lo super glue was born. Contrary to popular belief, It was not developed as a medical adhesive, and wasn't passed for medical use in America till 1998 when they released "Dermabond" which was a slightly different formula that didn't irritate skin as badly. The most common use of cyanoacrylate was in veterinary medicine, mending turtle shells, stitching lesions, and occasionally to help setting bone. Did somebody say Donkey Bone? So weeding out some of the more crazy theories, lets try to stick to the ones at least somewhat grounded in fact 1: Use a thicker Glue. Sounds fair.. Thicker glues would have less water/alcohol to dissolve, and probably set faster. When the nozzle is clogged... do not squeeze the bottle to "unjam it..." Unless ectoplasmic bukkakke is your bag... 2: Spit Gross. I spend all day telling my kids NOT to put things in their mouth, now here I am sticking something that was until recently "mostly lead bits" in my craw and giving it the ol' Jolly Rancher. I understand the theory is that because cyanoacrylate bonds instantly to skin you are actually scraping dead cells off your tongue to act as an accelerant, but what would my kids think? "What a hypocrite! TIME TO MAKE IT RAIN!!!" 3: Baking Soda Makes a fair amount of sense here. it's a superfine powder that absorbs liquid rapidly and gives your glue something to cling onto. Hell, sounds great. Lets throw it in the pile! Cocaine? What Cocaine? 4: Fixer What is this black magic in a bottle?! I have heard nothing but terrible reviews about this stuff, "It weakens your bonds!" "It eats paint!" "It will sneak into your house at night and steal all your rum!" Well, I spent 5 bucks on a bottle, and damnit I'm going to try it out. It's Public Enemy, Number One! Women Cry For It - Men Die For It! The Sweet "Pill" That Makes Life BITTER! Adults Only! Drug Crazed Abandon! Sin - degradation - vice - insanity! SEE youthful Glue victims - what actually happens! So I ran a series of five tests just to make sure I got fairly reliable data, and also I wanted to clean as much human error out as possible. I averaged the drying times of the glues, and then did a manual 'break test" to get a feel for how brittle the glue was after a 24hour set, just to see if there was a difference between all these crazy "dryin' methods." Here are the results. Hunh. Well.. that's crappy. So short version... ANYTHING you add to the glue to make it dry faster is in fact going to dramatically weaken your bond. What really got me was that the "spray fix" that I was told would have it's way with my mini like Ender Wiggins in the shower with Bonzo, seems to be no worse for my little mans than regular "licking and sticking." So all this effort, and what have we found? Just do whatever you're most comfortable with, and don't harsh on someone elses style.. unless of course you know a weirdo from the internet Next time: Pinning...for the fjords
