edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Actually I do...that makes two nights in a row! Even better, my coworker has something to do too, lol. We've been alternating days of one or the other of our specialties lately, so the one will have something and the other won't have anything.

Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ah, that's always a pain. One person working and one bored makes everyone unhappy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Heh, at times it can...oh well. Working on writing during down time...trying to keep myself writing for the novel (or at least, fiction) once a week at a minimum this year...we'll see if it works out. Looking forward to seeing that harpy! How are you going to pose the wings? Out and wide, or furled around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wide, I'm going for a pose like an eagle striking its prey. So feet forward, body tilted forward, wings out wide and back ---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ---------- That's a good plan with the write something each week, I might steal that!

edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah...I'd be jumping straight into baiting Elle into finishing Carver right now, but she's got a scene with Zygmunt she wants to at least start. (shrug) Muses. What can you do? So, either you or Monkey going to join in on the Quill this month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Mostly, tolerate their unpredictable, unreasonable and occasionally insane demands lol. Probably not be in quill this time, I've got a couple of other things I want to focus on, like this sculpt and the snipers. And the play from next week on. And to get back to my novel if I can too.

edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 A-freaking-men, Mako. Heh, sounds like a plan! Finished the prep work on the snipers yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lucky that sometimes they're darlings to have about too. Which is why we put up with it all! Almost time for paint on them, just got one last smoothing and sanding on the base edges and it's ready. It's weekend I'll make some progress on them I reckon.

edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 They are darling things, aren't they? lol. I have to say, I'm surprised Sophie hasn't bugged you for a model of her yet! Yeah. I intend to get some painting done this weekend...Saturday, a friend and I are going to the game shop armed with paints and brushes and do a painting day.

Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh, I'm sure she will in time! She's quite content to whisper madness into my ear for now at least. I'm sure she was amused by how easily I caved in to making a model from scratch to finished by next weekend... Sigh. What chance do I have at a relationship when she's already occupying my head! Lol Painting day sounds pretty sweet, what you gonna be working on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 It'll depend on if the new paints show up or not. If they show up, I'll be working on the Paladin 40mm piece. If not, probably the Death Korps killteam to get them done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Woot. Got me some Red Bull. I am considering to launch a big project after finishing up my Ressers. Mainly to prep so I can launch the Halloween and Christmas story encounters at my local store. Just noticed I will need loads of models to do this... Will probably come down to about 50-60 zombies and 30ish ghastly ghosties. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sounds like a good plan. Here's hoping the paints arrive, I want to see what you do with that paladin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a set of Warm Greens and Cool Greens, so I'll be able to mess around with that limited palette scheme some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cool, I like limited palette stuff. Takes a bit of care but looks awesome. And that appears to be the skirmish stats and advanced pursuits in the book, woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah, I did a limited palette with purple a few years ago of Skarre the Pirate Queen and it was a lot of fun...but Citadel is not limited palette friendly, lol. Hence the shift over to Reaper Triads. The Advanced Pursuits are going to be interesting to see, but I doubt I'll get to mess with them myself, lol. I foresee me running more games than playing...

Evilbleachman Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Zombie Halloween events. You have four zombies pop up each round (8 rounds total) and any dead models become zombies as well. Let us say a high average of 20-30 zombies per game... To host such a thing on two tables... Ghosts are in a similar matter. Will probably need about 12 each game. So 15 for two tables. 20 Pumpkins and maybe 15 or so Pumpkin Zombies. Some other few markers... Ooooooooh boy! :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah, reaper have some good stuff. Never used them myself as they used to be really hard to get in England, but I've heard good things. Aargh, so many tiny scales and fur strands!

Evilbleachman Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Green stuffs for pumpkins. Once I get my regular gaming materials finished (Corpse, Scrap, etc...) I will work on some models for those. At least prep them before I go for a paintathon. I would like to get the models Wyrd has designed for these events (Twisted Range), but I do not really want to buy 60 Zombies at 5€ a piece and only have three different models amongst those. Maybe Wyrd would give a discount on a bulk purchase? :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Eagle talons rather than human feet, so they're scaled, running up into feather/fur on the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
