That's not bad. $25 for a tempproxy though.....man...I'll have to think about that

Thanks Dan. That's what I've been doing too. But, it get's confusing for me even. More curious if to anyone has found good proxy models from *GASP* other companies? I spent last night modifying some bald shirtless celts into Lelus. Not even close to done yet. They are a little small. But, at least they will be identifiable. I'm also converting us a Coppellius from a zombie. Again, a little small...but...you know. These just have to get me by until the real deals come out. So, I'll update my list above of figs as people post ideas. Cheers.

I know this has been asked in other threads. But, I'd like to collect the answers. So, what are you using to represent the new Neverborn until they come out?

Pandora gets a few Woes to choose from. Haven't tried them with her yet. But, I like them with Lord Chompy Bits so far .

Agreed. Schemes are cool now that I'm learning more about the game and how my crews work. I will begin to use them in games with experienced players. I'm trying to get a group going at my LGS. So, I think it'll be a few more games before they are ready for schemes. Most have only had 1 or 2 demos with me as the teacher lol.

May be. But, Maybe if we correlate what was ordered along with the number, that will turn up a clue. I love a good mystery. I ordered Collette boxed set and 1 blister of coryphee. order 3321 completed Thursday August 19, 2010.

Thanks for the response Dan. 1) Cool. That's how I was reading it. 2) Interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind in the future. 3) again cool. That's how I read it. So, my opponent should have received 2VPs (1VP for Hold Out + 1VP for Thwart). I'll have to watch out for schemes more carefully in the future and start to choose a few of my own .

order 3321 was just completed.

Did a search but didn't come up with an answer to this. I had a game on tuesday. I'm fairly new to the game (8 games now) and haven't even touched schemes yet. Busy just learning my crews. I forgot to mention that to my opponent who's fairly comfortable with the rules. We used Book 2 rules (we both had it long enough to read through it once at least). So, he chose schemes and I did not. He chose Thwart for the Outcasts (Gremlin player) and Hold Out. I won the strategy (Shared Contain Power)with 4VP (3VP for killing all Masters and Henchmen and +1 for killing al Totems). He got 1VP for Hold Out (did not announce obviously) and claimed 3VP for Thwart (2VP since I did not earn VP for any of my announced Schemes and 1 since I did not announce any schemes). This made our game a draw (4VP to 4VP). Not knowing schemes at all and being my first game with the Dreamer and Nightmares, I was thrilled to have tied. However, I decided I should look into schemes. I'm not begrudging my opponent 1VP for Hold Out. He got that. No question about it. However, the Thwart one has me puzzled. It reads as follows: Thwart (Outcasts Only) Sometimes, preventing the opposition from winning is reward enough... Special You may not announce this Scheme. Victory Score 2VP if your opponent does not earn VP for any of their announced Schemes. Score 1VP if your opponent does not announce any Schemes. I'm not understanding three points on how he scored for this strategy: 1) It reads like he should score 2VP if ALL of my ANNOUNCED Schemes scored no VPs. I didn't choose any schemes. Therefore I couldn't announce any. Should he have recieved 2 VP? 2) I did not choose any schemes. Is this the same as not announcing any schemes. Should he have received 1VP for this? 3) This one reads as an either / or situation. You get either 1VP OR 2VP not both. There is no "+" sign in front of the 1 VP for not announcing schemes. Thanks for the help. I don't care about the game. I'm pleased I did as well as I did. I just want to know for the future.

Ahhhhh! That's right. i thought it looked a little familiar. LOL I have some of those on sprue. Time to build some terrain .

Also, a flat white background has been mentioned. A sheet of paper does nicely. I have noticed that your backgrounds are in focus. I think your camera's AI is deciding to focus on that as it's farther away. I know it's not the natural thing to do. But, if you're not in macro mode, the camera will ignore things that are too close in favor of something within it's depth of field range. If your camera will not take the pic with a white background, back up a little until it will. You're better off with a pic of mostly white and a figure you can see sharply if you blow the image up than a nicely framed but blurry shot.

Nice posing. Poor little guy. Get to painting so he's not so lonely.

Crap man! I love it. and your inspiration model is one of the greats. The funny thing is, I'm more in love with your lampost than the fig. Where'd you find that? Fantastic work on the base and the fig.

Excellent work on the putty. I need to hone my GS-fu.

Nice! Looks good so far. When's the rest of the crew going to be done?

Cool! Thanks much .

I wasn't going to bring it up. But, i had heard stories online about you getting some work down at GenCon .

Another trick for eyes: 1) paint your face your dark base color (aka shadow). 2) paint the white almond shape of the eyes. 3) then paint the iris as a circle centered in the white and even go a little outside the white at the top and bottom of the eye. 4) then dot your pupil in. 5) Then go back with your flesh shadow color and clean up the eyesocket and the shape of the eye. The more oval it is, the more natural it will look. Remember that irises are round. But, the lids cover a little bit of them at the top and bottom. If you leave it perfectly round, your models will have that SHOCKED :eek: look. If you want a sexy eye, paint the upper lid a little straighter and the lower lid more oval. 6) Then highlight the face. This way you're not trying to clean up a shadow and a highlight area at once if you go outside the lines a bit with the eye.

Howdy. I have a few models that I have duplicates of. I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to post on the forums looking for trade threads. If so, which forum should I use? Cheers.

Can anyone in the know comment as to when the Story encounter chart and descriptions will be up? I'm ready .

Oooo...I like the poison counter idea.

That's a fine looking crew. I like the signposts.

Nice work and an impressive start. Can't wait to see future models from you.

I like em. And it's easy. So, I'm sold.

It would make the "Corners" set up difficult :hmmmm:
