Mister Monkey Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That is because cars are evil incarnate..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Absolutely they are. (sigh) Oh well. Star Wars was fun, so that's good. Working on the second part of Lost Ways, almost done with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Glad to hear the Star Wars is still going good..... I was just down sorting out the 'gaming room'. Think I need to clear out or storage a bunch of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah, I just cleared out a bunch of spare parts and unwanted bitz a short while ago. Still need to finish the organizing part of the project. Get any painting done today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah there are a bunch of books taking up shelves on my game bookcase that I rarely, if ever use..... Managed to finish up Siege, now it is too muggy to move..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 So, what've you got done up for them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Lets see, Siege and Stryker as casters Two of each of Ironclad, Defender, Charger and Lancer as Jacks Solos are Squire, Strangeways, Journeyman Units are Commandos, Black 13, and Rangers. Plus a few Merc solos for good measure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ah, very nice! Going to be able to get photos up of them anytime soon? And that's a lot of Jacks, I can understand why you're sick of them, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Morning all! I've just stumbled home from a rather lovely steak dinner and copious amounts of wine and whisky. And some rather nice company too! Did I miss anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Haha, that is so funy to read when I just got out of bed. Was thinking, who'd have steak dinner at this time of the day. Then I realised the time difference, and now I'm left hungry for steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That was a change to my usual Saturday morning. Quite good fun doing the speed painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 The Mauler came out great, glad you had fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Still plenty of cursing had when the wash took ages to dry. But that's one less large mini on the painting list and turned out quite good in the end. I might touch up a few parts later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 How'd you go about painting it? Mostly washes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 One large wash over most of the mini. Work on the base while that dries. Still not dried to paint the tongue/mouth area, still not dry so paint the claws/spurs/teeth. Another darker wash for under arms and other shaded areas. Brownish wash for claws/spurs/teeth bases. Paint muzzle and lips and eyes while that's drying. Highlight bases areas. Highlight claws/spurs/teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Simple, but it definitely worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks. I think I made the right mini choice. I can't paint fast enough for one that has lots of details in different colours. Better off trying to do a large single colour model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 By the way, meant to say, loved how that swamp terrain turned out! Much bigger than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks, here's a blurry one with the trees I'm not sure whether or not to add leaves or just leave them dead looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 hmm. I'd leave them dead looking myself. Manage to get that guy interested in the game yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes, he'll be out this afternoon for a demo game. Time to figure out how to teach it to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Keep it simple. Try one model versus one model first to get the interactions down, along with the idea of flipping cards to generate results. Use the cheat sheet from Ratty, it's brilliant and really useful to help explain stuff. And don't stress over forgetting things. That's my advice in a nutshell, lol.
