edonil Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Family's visiting. And painting- lots of painting. At least, that's the plan. Going to need to pick up some more paints, less than thrilled about that...but, going to get some more Reaper Triads, the ones I have are great and the price is pretty good.

Mister Monkey Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah the Missus loved her Reaper paint, ended up being the main paint she used.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The only problem I have with it is that I can't just pick it up locally...ordering can be a pain, and shipping doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 That was the issue we had too, but then again there is not much we can get locally so I have gotten used to it ..... *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 To be a Gamer down here is to know how to order online, its the way we all get by.... Any more thoughts on your sculpting project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 A few. I've got a basic idea. Just waiting until the new year to grab the components. Found a nice armature from Hasslefree that'll accomplish what I want, after that, I'll be working on my Gentleman Neverborn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've figured out something I want for Happy Fun Gift Exchange Day- custom fit floormats for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 What in the name of Heimdall's banana hammock is Happy Fun Gift Exchange Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 It's my sarcastic and ever-cynical name for Christmas. We figure we don't do anything with the religious aspect of Christmas, but we still exchange gifts and spend time with family, so somehow that equated to how the Japanese (non-Christians) treat it, thus a fake bad transliteration to Happy Fun Gift Exchange Day. It's not meant to ridicule anyone who actually observes Christmas as a religious holiday, mind you- more a snide peanut gallery commentary on the commercialism of it.

Dustcrusher Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The biggest reason I don't like Xmas is personal- a lot of bad things have happened to me around this time of year. I have others but I'll refrain lest this turn into a big rant. OK, one little one that's easy to pick on- the last few "War on Christmas" schmucks. Get over it- it's not all about you. The commercialism has two good aspects- economic stimulation, and the twisted unity that results from everyone having to deal with how obnoxious the commercialization can be. The good things about this season? People that are normally jerks are less jerky (well, some of them) and there are more sugary treats to be had. Other than that, eh, bring on the new year.

Mako Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 *peers around corner warily* Is it safe? I mean, apart from the puppets, showgirls and such. Thought I'd drop by and see what was kicking, I've had a rather tense hour splitting my demon sculpt into two halves, it nearly went very very wrong but I've got it done. And last night Shine and me tried out minionfaux, two onryo against two belles and a canine remains. One game to each of us and it was pretty lighthearted silliness (and wierdly, my deck fed me a crow every time i wanted one for the maul trigger. Wierd. So next time we might try the escalation side of it, but the basic concept rules we'd worked out went really well and we had four schemes and half a dozen strategies you could feasibly achieve with such a tiny model count. 10ss and one scheme for week one was spot on I reckon. Some quality moments, like me leaving a lone onryo to face several lures and a lot of teeth and nails. And ole shiny having breakthrough and me having stake a claim, and managing to nail his last belle (who was scoring his VP for him) with a long range malevolence shot, from close to my claim into my own deployment, to deny him his points *grin* So yeah, I'll probably write up the strat and scheme bits for it this week/weekend and them minionfaux is sorted and ready for silly league night type shenanigans. If we get more than just the two of us... How's everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfndrate Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm doing well, I managed to snag an original Pandora (Avatar) model, and put her on a 30mm base... Looked at some of the armatures available to me for the sculptor's challenge.. Question: if I get "wings" for the model (like Hasslefree has some) can I use those? Or would I have to sculpt the wings on to the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I hesitate to venture an opinion since I'm not the one in charge, but I doubt Webmonkey would object. I think he said its a case of sculpt what you can but if you can't get your head round something (wings being a bit of a mare to do), use parts. He'll probably chime in and clear that up tho.

Webmonkey Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yes,.. you can cheat,... but only a little. But for more advanced sculpters, like mako, I expect more personal effort. But for the newbies, we can stretch the rules a bit. No buying fully formed models though. Let's say,... no more then 20% prefab to qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Aww, I can't cheat? Boooo... Heh, I'd be surprised if I could find anything remotely resembling my crazy plan. I'm still trying to figure out if it can be done in 32mm scale, or whether going to 45 or 54mm will be needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Your cheating deck! All crows! I saw one mask the entire game! I hate the friggin puppet deck! My ladies just wanted to take their dog for a walk but nooooooooo onryo gotta get all maul-y up in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfndrate Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 20%? Hrm... Some of the beginner armatures might be out of the question then lol... I'm looking at either the reaper ones... Though I'm debating of trying to do an "Ancient Nephilim" but idk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hey, my deck was fine, I flipped the black joker once! Lol. It did provide me a bizarre number of crows no matter how I shuffled it. Bet it doesn't ever again. And your ladies had it coming, shaking their thangs at my poor ghost girls...

Webmonkey Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 He flipped the black joker on purpose. Just to make it seem like he wasn't cheating. He stacks his deck you know,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
