A Clever Idea

A fellow member of the Shell Case Forum  has put up a link to a nice article on painting tattoos

http://minimusingofabear.wordpress.com/2011/09/25/tattoo-tutorial/

It has never occurred to me to use the blog to share information in this way – slow on the uptake I know – and as such I would like to share this link I found on painting ethnic skin tones. People have probable seen this already but if it helps one new person who reads it then it was worthwhile.

Ethnic Skintones

Wednesday post rethink.

I realised this morning that if I get suckered in to the games I play I dont really pay attention to what is going on around me at the club.

Example, I am aware last night that Bushido and Anima Tactics were both being played but I have no idea what they were like as I was trying to remember how to play Warmachine.

I played a 15pt game using the Magnus Bad Seeds Tier from No Quarter #36 and don’t know if I like it or not. As a long time Magnus player his epic form is quite different and didn’t seem as useful. I am hoping it will work better in bigger games but if not then I will drop it as an idea.

I also played a 250pt game of Infinity against Dave and his Yu Jing. The game started strongly in his favour with his Onibawan being a beast but then some lucky rolls on my part turned it around. In the end I won 5vp to 2vp.

Maybe these posts will work if I took some photos along the way – we will see how it develops.

Weekend Plans 22/7/11

Well it’s Friday and that means, if I stick to my plan, that I announce my hobby aims for the weekend.

Sadly a bit of an off on my bike has caused me some pain, cut up my hands and the like so I don’t know what I can achieve at all.

I was hoping to get a game in tonight as the wife is on a staff do but that is unlikely as well.

I have started gluing together my Circle 15pt force but have realised that I don’t have enough beasts to generate fury for Mohsar who is a Fury 8 warlock. Back to the drawing board with the list I think.

First Friday post is a bit of a duffer all in all…Arse.

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…

A fresh layout, a fresh host, a fresh schedule and a fresh start.

The plan is to have updates at least three times a week; Monday, Wednesday & a weekend one.

Monday to go with #miniaturemonday on twitter, Wednesday is the day after gaming night at my LGS and the weekend to announce any plans.

With the Monday posts I will include any relevant photos here as well such as the ones below. My thanks go to Rob Mossop for the amazing pics.

These pics make me wish I could get a decent camera and light setup because anything I add after this point will look like pants.

ALEPH Marut with Dakini and Garuda

Don’t judge me – help me.

>Okay, fine, I admit it. I am not the worlds best blogger. All the good intention in the world doesn’t make these posts happen.

I have two options – I wait until I have something to say that is worthwhile or I post little and often (like Rimmer during sex).

What do I do then? One post a week that is an update or one every day with whatever I have managed on it.
