Absolution Black Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah..about that...I don't really trust that coffee monolith.... it's been here a while, and is becoming sentient. I'd hate to think what its putting in the coffee.. after all KArn built it. I'll think I'll nip to the local greasy spoon and pick one up there..

SteamHammer Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Got to go. Back later. Have fun without me and don't anger the monoliths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 So, Abs, any luck with tempting the muse out of hiding? Well, funny you should say that..had inspiration last night, so trying to flesh the idea out before putting finger to keyboard! Have a feeling I may be cutting it fine...

Sliver Chocobo Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Wait there's a greasy spoon here? *walks up the gremlintte on the counter and orders a bacon banjo, the gremlintte looks confused walks away and comes back with a banjo made of bacon* I think something got lost in translation here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I trust the Cider Monolith. I built it after all. Don't mind the eerie green glow- it doesn't do anything to the cider at all... On another note, assembling the new minis has largely been easy-peasy (or a doddle, depending...hee hee, "doddle"). I worry about the rail worker with the separate leg though- the join on that leg is tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah, I just got my Rail Crew today, and I had the same thought...still, glad to have the chance to mess around with the new stuff. Somewhat sad to not see Misaki, but that's alright, I'll be able to mess around on the color scheme with the Archers. Trying to figure out a second color to go with the shiny purple fabric, and whether I should make the second color shiny or matte... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oo, so painted stuff soon? I took a few macro shots of the dark debts sprues this afternoon, will put them up on a thread once I process them. How is everyone tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Had a good start to the morning. My wife gave me my birthday present a week early which is two tickets to Australia vs South Africa rugby tomorrow night, on top of that we are having lunch at a winery so tomorrow is going to be awesome!

edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oo, so painted stuff soon? I took a few macro shots of the dark debts sprues this afternoon, will put them up on a thread once I process them. How is everyone tonight? Painted? Let's not get too hasty...although I do intend to at least assemble and prime them for using on Saturday. I've got the Rail Crew, Archers and Old Lady Yamaziko. Have to say, quite impressed with the sculpts. Been reading through the stories, loving them so very much. Hoping to see Misaki before the 15th (fingers crossed) but I doubt it, so I'm going to see if I can figure out Mei. Have to say, Wyrd successfully gave me reason to pick up stuff from every faction...loving the Ten Thunders as a whole! Hey, Mako, any suggestions on a contrast color to go with shiny purple? And should I be doing matte or glossy for the color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, for a shiny saturated purple, I'd go for a matt yellow, if it's a really intense purple then use a more desaturated yellow, otherwise go full on canary! Think rough silk, so wider softer highlights etc. Heh, Mei on Saturday eh? I might get Jakob and co prepped this month (waaaagh, I want paints!!!!!!). And I put up a huge analysis of the sprues here http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?35258-Another-Dark-Debts-assessment-with-photos&p=451402, would be interesting to see if your thought on Mei and co match...

edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 ...hm. I'll see if I can find the work camera and post up some pics before I start assembling. Based on my cursory examination, the details all seem crisp and clean. I just got distracted by the readings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ooh, that would have sucked! I'm glancing though the cards tonight to check I have them and all the bases I need, and the more I read the more I want to see the fluff! Three weeks, that's all I have to wait... WHY DIDN'T I ORDER THE BOOK!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Shipping cost. Anyway, I have to say, I'm surprised at how many of the factions I normally don't like I'm interested in now...Lucas MacCabe and a Guardsman list sounds like a lot of fun...now to figure out the most efficient way to get that together. Also surprised at how little Jakob is interested in anything from any other Master, in terms of list building. The Brilliance crew is pretty self contained, although I think Stitched are a must from theme perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Aye true, although depleted can give out burning counters it seems! Also, I have a 40mm and a 50mm base extra lol. But there is a blast marker I'll need, so that sorts the 50! And might make burning counters like my 25mm brilliance token, since they don't go on the gaming table itself. ---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ---------- I really want Yan Lo, and Misaki, and Mei. Lucas I don't know enough about yet, the mounted thing doesn't fuss me too much but the other bits sound good. So I may end up with the complete thunders,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Misaki is on the way. Yan Lo...I dunno. I'm probably going to pick him up in spite of my lack of luck with figuring Ressers out. I know that Izami looks awesome and I want to paint him, although I'm not a fan of Yin or Toshiro (aesthetics. Rules, they're awesome.). Lucas is a definite because he entertains me in the fluff. As far as Jakob...still iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Which one's yin? Toshiro may get a sculpt when I see his model, the art is kind of borderline for me. I'm laughing so hard reading these cards, Jakobs crew is properly happy hour at Shenanigans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yin is the floating organ pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oh, that one. The penan... Penagna... Pegnall... Thingy. Lol. No way I'm trying to make autocorrect accept that one! It depends on the model again I think for me. How's work so far tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Not bad. Had a justifiable reason to not work on a project I didn't want to do, so that's always nice. Just finished up critiquing two essays from classmates for theology survey (by the by, got a 95 on the essay! woot!) and finding I have such a hard time not playing Devil's Advocate with circular reasoning...

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Bonus! 95 is pretty amazing! And dodging out of work that would suck is also good effort! I hope you realise, you've subjected the world to a really bad diagram in the photography thread now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 True. And quite rightly, people no longer have any respect for my artistic talents! Heh. Hmm, at quarter to midnight, do I start messing about cleaning models, or do I give up and go to bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
