After a bit of back and forth on a few different games my partner has decided to try this hobby out with the game Bushido Risen Sun. After a good bit of reading and shopping I am genuinely surprised this game isn't a bigger deal, maybe just not everyone's jam thematically. Almost went Malifaux, and almost convinced her to try Relic Blade but this is the one. Rules seem really nice (mildly complex but good). Also found these rulers which are perfect
Had an electrician over for a small fix, jobs took about 19 minutes. 2 and a half hours later we realised we've been chatting about wargames and dnd and nerd shit and his wife is texting him because he's late. Oops
I did a little painting yesterday and used the wet palette. No matter what I did they just kept drying, even after the paper was basically floating on the water. I assume the paper was the issue it had been opened a while ago. Today I did a little with just a normal palette, one of those ones with tear off sheets. Stopped for about 2 hours and returned to mostly still wet paint. As best I can tell temperature and humidity haven't changed much. It's pretty odd (but probably explainable)
Really looking forward to someone painting the new legion of the damned right. Models are alright, could have had a bit more damned, but that's a lot of good space for light effects and stuff.
I've got the drawing bug real hard. At some point I crossed over into being able to fall into a flow state that feels like when I used to draw fantasy maps. It's still hard and I've still got loads to learn but it's fun now. So I spent like 2 days drawing this for my project. It will actually be about a third this size but I couldn't resist printing it out and trying a little colouring in. Need better paper and more pen colours.
For some reason my "Modern Scatter" terrain always does quite well, so I decided to do an appropriate sequel:
Added a little vending machine to my last pack of modern scatter terrain too.
Turns out I might be able to put a _lot_ more time into doing 3D modelling going forward, more now but we're also moving and I'll have more of a dedicated space for it too! What to work on first?!
Hello all, it's been far too long since I've been on, I hope you are all finding some joy to distract from all of this... :gestures at everything:
Last year I made some Norse Orcs Blood Bowl minis for Agema Minis and Greg has decided to make the stls available, he asked me to let the fedi folks know. So if you are so inclined there's a campaign now running at https://www.myminifactory.com/frontier/norse-orcs-3d-printable-pre-supported-greenskins-for-fantasy-football-5312
Be well, stay awesome 😘
Re: pre-painted terrain. I get it. I really get it. Wonderful for people who don't enjoy painting it or don't have the time or the skill or all the right paints and stuff. It's great for all the people who like that I guess.
But I hate it. I feel like it's some harbinger of a change in a very fundamental aspect of this hobby and I hate it so much! And I might be wrong and I'm ok with that. I'll away and find some clouds to yell at.

@erikcats wow check that out! Let's be clear, I drew a cupboard but Joe has created a BEAST! Incredible work from him well done, this is great! And a wee plug for Mageworks too he's got some really fun stuff on MMF https://www.myminifactory.com/users/MAGEWORKS

@roofuskit@mstdn.social I'm going to make an effort to pop in a little, see what everyone is up to. I miss seeing all the hobby stuff, it just needs to be in very tiny doses for me, I think being on social media is like being at a rave for me, great fun (I assume) but extremely overwhelming.
I don't really pay attention to gaming news even for games I like but I just realised I missed an expansion for Mechwarrior 5 and there's another one due out this month. Think I'll treat myself to both when the new one comes out and take another run through.

@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net I know this all too well. Look after yourself
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net it's wonderful to have support I'm so blessed as well. You still have to go through it, but you don't have to do it alone, which really helps.
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net that's what I was thinking, especially when I was thinking about really small scatter terrain, like sandbags or whatever. Tiny to a mech.
Replying to
@SunDancer@metalhead.club yes but the thing is (snigger), the thing about orks (snigger snigger), one of the essential factors about orks really (muffled giggling), is that they are EVER GREEN!
I'll see myself out
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net variations of the bigger things would help there
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net you know what I'd enjoy making, but tell me if it appeals to BT players, but themed bases. I could see a Kuritan set with clean orderly streets, torii style elements, cherry blossoms, with a mix of ordered and battle scarred versions. Or Steiner ones that are more concrete slabs and industrial. Might be a lot easier to incorporate small elements directly into them, and could include a few variations of each with vehicles or whatever
Replying to
@roofuskit@mstdn.social I agree really, but just not not with my soft heart that loves the building and painting more than playing. I could see a future where the craft part of the hobby becomes almost non existent and people just buy in and play. That's definitely cool in that it's people getting together to have fun, we need more of that, but I would weep for my nerdy little creative hobby (that would continue to exist in all probability)
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net are you resin or fdm printing? If you make a little list of bits you think you'd like this is probably something I can make in a day or two, be happy to send you them for free for figuring out what needs made
Replying to
@SunDancer@metalhead.club surely the orks already have enough guns no? Hehe
Replying to
@SunDancer@metalhead.club a compelling argument. I did enjoy making orcs for blood bowl last year I'd just need to find a hook for making something interesting
Replying to
@SunDancer@metalhead.club I think if I was to start orks I'd end up doing a whole faction over the course of a year or so. It's a very tempting idea really.
Listening to that first Evanescence album again and you can just sing the male vocal lines from bring me to life over just about every song. It's a good album imo but it's definitely one note
The new song by Polyphia is catching a lot of flak for really just being noise. Maybe it's because I enjoy chiptune that's all noise channels or just that it slaps but listen to Power in the Blood and weigh in. Especially the back half.
Adding in here that there's a whole chunk of the guitar riff that sounds just like Montero by Lil Nas X and I'm assuming it's on purpose
Replying to
@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net I have some 6mm scale hex based buildings I started work on a while ago, I never finished them because I didn't think they were up to quality but I have learned a lot since then. I might take another look
Replying to
@MacBalance@mstdn.games you know I looked at doing vending machines. I have enough ideas for a third set but had to call it somewhere. I think I could probably add one real quick over the weekend though so I'll let you know if I do.
Replying to
@MacBalance@mstdn.games also incredible to see HGB out there. I had a few lying around for years and kept wanting it to really take off locally. Mostly I have a long standing love of the old pc game
