Mister Monkey Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Archery is normally on in the middle of the day so not seen any of it. Rowing however they show a lot over here .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Usual rules here. If GB isn't in it then it's not on the TV. And I've run out of bandwidth for this month (restarts on the 7th) so I can't watch any more online without paying loads for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Sorry to hear that, Steam. I haven't paid too much attention to the Olympics as a whole myself, I watch it while it's on, but I don't go out of my way for it. Still, I did see the GB women get gold in rowing, so congrats for that to them! And I would definitely recommend giving Battletech a try, Monkey. I'd recommend sticking to 3025 for learning the game, things get massively more powerful once the Clans show up, which isn't too bad, but does get kinda crazy when you use points. Two Clan heavies against twice that many Inner Sphere heavies is a bit of an odd match, but the points work out so that it's balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 We are getting a fair bit on free to air and a lot of different things, that is nice but at the moment it is all rowing, and our chances for more gold.... ---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ---------- I am sure I will be playing it soon Edonil...

SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Don't really care about the games as a whole but watching the archery was fun. Good to have on in the background at work. I want it to be 5:30 already so I can finish painting Seamus' squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looking forward to seeing you finish them! Spirits next, right? ---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ---------- And I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think of it, Monkey! They're working on a free to play version of the board game for online that's turn based, would be fun to do a game with you if it works well.

SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yup. Still not sure about colour schemes for them. White for Kirai like you said and pale in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah I find the olympics is great for the background, and have found myself watching stuff I never thought I would (and makes a nice change from all the rugby) Online wargaming .... that sounds a bit flash what will they think of next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hm. What have you been using a lot for colors in your last stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Still not sure on the spirits then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 No one colour stands out (except the Guild who are brown). Seamus's batch are pretty somewhat greyscale due to faded skin and clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 http://mwtactics.com/ That's the game, Monkey. It's still in closed Beta right now, but if it's anything like the board game, it'll be sweet. What I've heard is that you issue orders to your units, selecting targets, how far they move, etc, and then the computer does the calculations for shots, hits, damage, and there's a live action cutscene showing the turn happening simultaneously. ---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ---------- Any primary colors you've been using a lot of? Cause I think a pale blue/grey, little more blue than space wolves, might be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Paint them whatever colour you like, just highlight it up to white then give them a green wash. It gives you the Army of the dead look ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Here's what they look like after last night's work Plus the rest are here somewhere http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?33617-SteamHammer-s-Paintathon-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hmm. Well, based on the colors you did for Seamus, if you want to tie them together slightly, I'd say purple, red and white/black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I could try a red or purple spirit. See what it looks like. Like most of my painting a lot will come down to if I like the look of it while I'm working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are you going to paint the whole of the model the same color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Only the seishin (or however it's spelt) and even that will have highlights. I might even chop it up and have it passing through a lamp post so I could make a lighter trail in the bits that have just gone through a solid object. The others will be painted more like living types with different coloured clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ah, okay Steam, thanks. ~Raids the BBQ Monolith and returns to my comfy chair wit ha large tray filled with things~ That's better. Also, anyone else get the feeling Wyrd are trying to bankrupt us with the Rail and Ten Thunders crews coming out? I want both of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Definitely going to be expensive. But worth it. Now I just need to improve my painting skills to do them justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I do want both of those crews, I just hope the Ten Thunders box will be available for Gencon, some really beautiful looking models in that crew and the one I definitely want more out of thepair. I mostly want the Rail Golem fomrthe Rail Crew, I'll name it Ivor (look up Ivor the Engine if people dunno the reference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
