That CGL cannot sack the ‘comms expert’ says a lot about how dysfunctional the company is right now 🙂

It beggars belief that they produced and shipped Gothmechs whilst failing to complete shipping of this multi-million dollar KS.

I’m gonna need a bigger bucket of popcorn whilst watching all of their other KS projects fail, and the rage of all…[Read more]

@brennon Nice work with Robin Hood & co, I especially like the basing.

@jeffersonpowers Lovely stuff, as always. K-2SO miniature really works well in the shatterpoint scale.

@zoidpinhead thanks for the tips. I’ve mainly been Speedpainting over black primer with drybrushed highlights (I don’t like using sprays so this is as close as I get to zenithal). You still end up with a pretty grey base coat, which isn’t great for the lighter speedpaint colors. Of late I have been playing with using grey and even white base…[Read more]

Sad news about Ozzy.  What a fantastic sound they made on those early records.

I can’t seem to manage good skin tones with Speedpaints, any tips you’d like to share?

@jeffersonpowers In answer to your question I use a zenithed undercoat.  Where there is a lot of skin to paint I zenith with white over grey rather than black because the Crusa…[Read more]

A genuinely sad day…

FUCK!

Ozzy is dead?

That came sooner than expected.

“No more tears” was my first self bought vinyl record.

Thanks for your music and your madness. Say hello to Lemmy, Ronny, Bon and David for me.

@zoidpinhead that is very impressive. I can’t seem to manage good skin tones with Speedpaints, any tips you’d like to share?

I love listening to soundtracks for just that reason.

Soundtracks are a great listen from time to time. No lyrics that will distract me. And usually it’s all at a nice pace

I haven’t painted any of the models that were top of my list to get done at the beginning of the year, but I’ve still managed to paint just over 150 so far, plus a fair amount of terrain, so that’s something, I suppose?

My other goal for the year was to play more. In particular I set myself a goal of 25 games involving painted miniatures…[Read more]

Most (okay all) of my painted models wind up in my catch-all Painting Log project. Here’s a link to the Andor models in particular: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project-entry/1937060/. The Star Schlock stuff will find its way there soon.

@zoidpinhead I’m not too worried about offending anyone, but I like to keep my English consistent with British standards instead of whatever Americans did to it  🙂

@sundancer : doing nothing can be a challenge too 😉

BBQ’s are only fun when they’re the old fashioned coal powered variants and not the gas-powered variants. The latter are…[Read more]

Reading the comments over at KS is a delight

ah … ye olde ‘family emergencies’.
You’d think that hiring a ‘communications expert’ would cover that sort of thing.

I guess it’s more like that internet elf that provided servers for several small companies that went missing during a critical time as well.

ie: that ‘expert’ is a one man/woman/thing operation and not an actual competent…[Read more]
