Dustcrusher Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Tempted to get the Corsairs and a Noh Empire, Doctrine, or (wooooooh) Black Diamond starter pledge for Relic Knights. Probably won't though- I've got way too much as it is, not counting the upcoming Gencon order. Plus, the Reaper Bones Kickstarter would be more useful for me as I could use those in multiple games. 116 minis and still has 11 days to go? Huge dragons for 10 bucks? RMS paint sets for 50% off? Chronoscope set on the horizon, including some that have potential usage in Malifaux? No matter what I get, free shipping to the US on all of it? Yeah, that's a better choice for me. Oh, and apparently I can add stuff to my Kings of War Kickstarter order at the same discounts until the 19th if I contact their customer service guru. Forces are conspiring against me to undo the near-debt-free situation I worked so hard for. I know it :-P ---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ---------- Oh, and I wrote this recently: http://museonminis.com/why-trymalifaux/ I think my next one is going to be on Song of Blades and Heroes. That game's worth having for anyone but grognard-types who think rulebooks should be at least 40 pages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Nice little article DC, good summary of Malifaux. But stay off those kickstarters! They're bad for you! Everyone having fun today? I'm thoroughly bored again, but on the bright side I may actually have science to do tomorrow =-O =-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Heh, working on waking up at the moment. Still, not too bad. Working on the Death Korps. Finally got some photos done of the test piece. Need to figure out how to take photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Photos are hard, it's a difficult thing to get decent shots of something so small with painted in shadows and highlights as well as light falling on it. It's a whole other side to the hobby! The korpsman looked pretty good, although his trousers under the back of his tunic would be muddy as well surely? Having sat in mud in combat gear, your backside doesn't stay dry even if it doesn't get muddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hmm...about how far down would it go? Down to the knees, or before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ah, just over the buttocks mostly. No matter how unpleasant you know it'll feel later, and how hard you try to avoid it, you always end up sitting in wet mud at one point! So under the lower edge of the jacket, and at most partway down the back of the thigh. Basically where the jacket is muddy but not much further down than that I'd reckon.

edonil Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, Mako. Always appreciated. How's the sculpting going? And Chocobo, glad to see you're thinking ahead to the next one! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks, you guys. Maybe I can get in on the first Iron Quill after September. I'll probably be too broke to do more than stay home for a while at that point, so I might as well write in between bouts of painting :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sculpting's Not going bad, I have half of the first snake done, needs baking though as its getting hard to handle without damaging what's already done. Green justice has a face and some hair, not remotely finished but still progress, and my tiny tiny guy is, well, still tiny. But I might make him a friend later. Wait, there's people planning their quill entry? I hadn't even realised the ingredients were out! I really have to focus more... What's everyone else up to tonight?

edonil Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 They haven't been announced yet, lol. After Gencon they will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 There not, I'm thinking about idea's I could use. I might have to use a different one if the themes don't fit, but I think I got a good one ---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ---------- Or three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ahh, phew! I was worried there for a moment. Then I remembered I had chocolate so I stopped paying attention. Is it bad I've had an idea for another model series/game? I think I need to get my muse some tablets to help with her severe attention span issues...

Mako Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well, I was going to put up photos of sculpting, but camera battery died. So you can't have any! Muahahaha... Ahem. Sorry bout that. On the other hand, I am going to do more tonight, so tomorrow's pictures will be more interesting. Everyone decided what's on their gencon list then?

edonil Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm going to be getting The Thunders box, the Oiran and Yamakizo. Possibly the Archers depending on budget. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 It's looking like the thunder box, the oiran, dark debts and the depleted for me. Though this week so far my mind has been all over the place, so who knows what I'll order in the end! I kind of feel like I should order brutal effigy instead of one of the others, since my justice crew needs him to be functional. But then again, when do I ever use it to play! Managed to keep myself down to £50 of stuff for DzC though, just bits for my diorama rather than an army to use. How's work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Boring. :-P But no surprise there. Took the time to put up an archive for the Iron Quill, including putting up the name of the next round. The name may not be an innovative twist on an old saying, but I'll take it, lol.

Mako Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Heh, the name works for me, seems pretty accurate! I actually have stuff to do at work tomorrow, it'll be pretty wierd but at least I wont be as bored as I have been. I promised myself I'd focus on one or two projects, so why am I now doing two sculpts, plus planning a lot more that I'm starting to work on, and now coming up with another idea?! Must... Focus... Oh, I give up. Lol That archive is going to be massive by the end of the quill (if it even has an end, I mean it could go on for ages). Getting much other stuff done while you're stuck at work?

edonil Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not really. Was hoping to get some painting done during some dead time, but I don't think I'll have any. Wouldn't be so bad if this particular task wasn't so repetitive. 150ish boards, short test, going to take several hours. (rolls eyes) Yay. Oh well, lol. Still trying to get the muse engaged on the next scene for the novel, I have the generics planned out but she's remaining elusive... Yeah, I think that I'll probably have to do spoiler tags per year to keep the Quill archives under control in the long run, lol. Still, that's not a bad thing at all! More stories means more writers, and more writers means more stories. It's a lovely loop to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, if we manage to crash the forum with the iron quill threads, that's probably when we should stop. But given that's pretty unlikely, I think you're right, the loop just keeps getting better and bigger. Its always annoying when you don't have anything up fun to do, but not enough free time to add something fun into the mix. But unavoidable I guess. Ahh, muse baiting. Would you like to borrow mine? I could do with a break, she's like a dog surrounded by squirrels at the moment. Trying to go every direction at once and not chasing any of them properly!

edonil Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Heh, I'm not sure that's a good plan. Could you imagine what our two muses combined could do? That'd be terrifying. Elle is a handful enough on her own, she'd either go into a jealous, outraged fit, or start conspiring with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 That... Would be a monstrously bad plan then. I'm not sure which would be worse, fighting or conspiring! Still, if we ever need to wreck large sections of society, its there as a backup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Heh, or large sections of the forum. Maybe we should give that a shot sometime, do a cooperative story of some kind! Might be interesting to see how it goes down. Oh, that would be a cool idea for a round for the Iron Quill- Two Heads are Better than One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Could be fairly awesome. It definitely has the chance to be hilarious, which is always a good start! I really wish I could sleep, but my foot hurts too much. Turns out that dropping a large shelf on it stings somewhat. I think I avoided breaking it, but its throbbing like crazy and is a funny shape now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
