SteamHammer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Read a few more Artemis Fowl and those Artorius Soldier of Rome books. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Last new book I read was Red Equinox, a Lovecraft inspired novel. It wasn't bad, but wasn't anything amazing. Don't regret getting it kind of a thing. Going to be grabbing In the Name of the Wind and finally reading Rothfuss sometime soon though, lol.

SteamHammer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Rothfuss is great. I can't wait to get the third one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Now don't panic... The world is not going to end but,.. I am planning on painting some minis in a couple of weeks! Only planning mind...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 You had me worried there for a moment Abs. But if you do actually get one painted...hmmm, isn't that one of the signs of the apocolypse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 lol, possibly..trouble is I have over 150 malifaux minis now...and no idea which one to even try painting! Because I haven't done anything other than space marines for almost ten years it is frightening me a bit. Maybe I will just try a minion first before trying to recapture the heyday of character painting and all the layering, blending etc that came with it!

SteamHammer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Paint Guild and do what I do. Brown everywhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Oh, definitely paint Guild, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Got any Guild Hounds? I'd start with those, should be pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 nope, only have the plastics.... might try some death marshals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 They do give you the flexibility to do black everywhere instead. I need to do my ones of those some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 The death marshals are fantastic models. Well. All except Sir Jazz Hands. Attaching him to the coffin was annoying, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Doing flame heads or faces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Flame heads..need something to keep Lady j warm on those winter nights hanging around graveyards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Heh. What color you doing the flames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 was thinking blueish..or maybe greenish..more spectral than actual flamey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sweet. I did purple for mine, was a lot of fun, although a little tricky to figure out the proper order of colors. Fire is more complicated than you think when you start to analyze what colors go where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 at least if you do make a hash of it, you can argue that it is spectral fire and therefore obviously does not follow the general laws of physics!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Heh, yep. If you want my advice, I'd do a blue basecoat then do an eerie green to pick out the upper parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 ok, might have a go at that.. see ya later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lord I hope so, Dust. The metal Necrotic Machine makes some of the old metal Warjacks look positively simple to assemble, lol. I remember buying it, opening the clamshell and just going '...nope' and closing it back up, lol. Don't currently know where it is, but I do know it's not built... And yes, I definitely have to give GW full props for their assembly instructions, I would have killed for some GW quality ones when working on my Robotech stuff. Still haven't assembled most of my Battloids because I can't figure out how to arrange any of the arms when they're both holding the gun! That's a great mental picture, and I feel the same way about it. It's a model that I would've gladly accepted a weaker pose in exchange for it being easier to assemble. They do give you the flexibility to do black everywhere instead. I need to do my ones of those some time. "I have Death Marshals and I want to paint them bla-ack..." Saturday was fun- got in two games of Kings of War (and the Ogres finally won, against an admittedly distracted opponent- his kid was there), helped celebrate friends' birthdays (the couple was born within a couple of days of each other- they got a copy of Walking Dead Edition Bang! and loved it), and even went to a bar like people our age still do sometimes. The women were all in short shorts and it was a bit distracting, but fortunately the really attractive ones weren't serving us. Sadly, our server didn't do that well, so I only tipped 17.5%. Should've only done 15%- if you bring someone a mixed drink and they hate it, you offer to make them something else early on, or you have it taken off the bill. You don't come by when the guests are ready to leave and offer to "have the bartender put something else in it" to make it taste better. I've never waited tables in my life and even I know this. (Also, to all the non-Americans reading this- yes, the tipping thing is annoying and stupid 95% of the time, but on occasion you can do cool things like leave a gigantic tip for someone who has busted their hump to give you good service).
