edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Honestly, if my testing of the new method for the gold armor works out the way I hope this week, I'll probably end up that way with my Ret, just because painting will be quick for a lot of the stuff.

Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sweet hope it all works for you I am just a relly old school type of player and back in the day you did not play with unpainted at tournaments, coupled with the fact I was a pretty fast painter it was just a habit I picked up.

edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah, I never learned those habits. I've actually never played in a tournament with a painting requirement, the local ones never cared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Never played one with a painting requirement? Really? Even our Warmachine ones now are getting three colour minimum rules..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nope. Hell, some of the veteran warmachine players while it was still going on never had a single painted model ever, they sorta sneered at that side of the hobby. And the warhammer players... lol. Well, they were basically as bad. The only tournaments that had painting requirements were big things, like Grand Tournaments or convention ones.

Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Warhammer Fantasy community was pretty strict, and as that was my main game for years I grew up with that..... I remember the Warmachine community were very much like you described, but as the main driving force behind the community now is one of the fantasy players that was trained but us old school he is bringing in a lot of those rules too..... I do like to see nicely painted armies fighting over nice terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I had it once or twice with my Menoth, but never did end up finishing the Circle. Granted, the Menoth color scheme was the laziest thing I've ever done, lol. Two base colors, two washes, metals, done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah but in all honesty that is all you really need..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Oh, aye. But compared to some of the color schemes I had later, it wasn't all that impressive. Still, I liked it well enough, if I ever do Menoth again I might tweak it with the new methods I've picked up. But that'll be a long time, honestly. I'm really liking my Retribution, lol.

Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 It is nice when you can focus on one army.... I am trying to be more like that at the moment, only run one army for each game for a while... .... it is not working with flames of war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ha, no, doesn't appear to be! My main limitation at the moment is finances. The kinds of lists I would want to run aren't necessarily cheap. Least expensive would probably be the Amon heavy list, and that's still pricey to get it run right.

Mister Monkey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Morning Steam, weekend was ok, how about yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Morning Steam! Yeah, it was quite a bit of fun. First session of Iron Kingdoms Friday night, Guardians of the Galaxy on Saturday and some Warmachine yesterday. How are you? Amon Ad-Raza is the jack caster for Menoth, people tend to bring a bunch of Dervish's with him. Instead, you bring a good number of heavy 'jacks (the one I just wrote up was a Reckoner, the Fires of Salvation, a Templar and a Vanquisher) along with the full support for them. Feat turn, you get mobility (increased speed), synergy (stacking bonus for every member of Amon's battlegroup that hits with an attack, to a total of +5 to hit and +5 to damage for this version) and immunity to free strikes (from the feat). Then it's just get the Synergy chain moving, and smash the caster in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Guardians any good? I watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 which was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Guardians was amazing. I literally have nothing to complain about it. The dialogue was great, the characters were better, and the story was both believable and fun. Highly, highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hopefully, I know I'm going to want to see it more than once, lol.
