Attention Deficit Gamer

You can barely see the table in those pictures, you need to get all those minis out of the way!

I want some taco bell now. Nice Circle.

What, no text? Are we to praise, criticise, and advise on the strength of pics alone? Very well -

- Elves (Elfs?) Shade with ink/paint combinations on critical areas, ie shield wing crest things.

Terrain piece - that looks pretty ******g great actually. Never seen that painted red before. That being said, whats with the crappy pics? It's like you're trying to enrage me or something. Also, http://coolminiornot.com/191337

no offense but those elf guys look like I painted them.

Hehe, it's the table. It's all in progress.

Elfs not done yet. But I like how they're turning out. I might
actually start a second Fantasy army at this rate.

Malf-

The elves are really showing some skills. Way neater. Sometimes your stuff looks like an epileptic monkey painted them after a pink floyd concert. These are really nice. Keep up the good work. Oh, and I meant no disrespect for people who are epileptic or pink floyd fans...or both. No offense to monkeys either.

I paint for the tabletop. Epileptic monkeys can probably
do better. Though you're probably thinking of this:



And you'd be right.

Don't know about the monkeys, but I'm feeling quite epileptic here O_o.

No, that's color blind ...not epileptic. In this pic you are painting pretty much in the lines. That's the seret to good painting.. stay in the lines. Everything else comes in time. Hot yellows (that are tonally orange) do not mix well with blues. Peurple.. okay. But not blue. The first time my wife read a white dwarf she commented that someone really knew there color wheel. I said "huh?" She explained that the color selections are very simple contrasting color schemes based off a color wheel. I said "Huh?" So she pulled out a color wheel (being an art major she had one) and showed me what she meant. I said "Huh?" So, now I just paint the colors she tell me to.

My wife lights up whenever I paint something purple. I
haven't had the heart to tell her that my Skorne (more
recent ones) are torture specialists.

...so you weren't kidding about the pink elephant.

I've gotta quit drinking...

Or start more.

Let's play Guess the Mini!

Diet Pepsi Malf?!?!?!

I heard you had the body of an Adonis??

Or Michelangelos "David"-But a bigger pee-pee.

Depends on the size of the replica, sadly.

It's all relative, Baby......

Ooh, ooh, I contributed to that project. Praise me, too!

Okay, all I did was trade Felix some of the wall sections. Unsurprisingly, he's already got them in a project that's looking better than the half-finished building (which is not even an original design- I ripped off the layout from one of Panic's) in which I used what I got in return.

I think I added your wall pieces to another building, GP :(
This particular one has been sitting on the shelf since Jan, but
I'll be sure to credit you when I get to the building you
contributed to.

I thought your building looked pretty BA, though. You
should get around to painting it.

That's a nice piece. I painted mine red because of AncientSociety's stuff. It looked
good, so I'm going to do my Sanctum Imperialis pieces like that.

Gotta finish building it first. Even so, I should have it painted before Xenite finishes painting the CoD building I loaned him. (Man, how many threads will be ruined by our wordwar over respective inabilities to finish projects?)

It's my thread, so I don't care. I'll update it with pics in the
next few days or so.

I think a certain someone needs to bring his CoD terrain to the next game night.....just sayin'

Okay. I can only fit so much in my bag, though. I'm having trouble figuring out how to store stuff in the house, much
less move it.

My CoD terrain is really just closed off buildings as I meant
for them for games like Necro and Infinity. The Pegasus
Buildings are REALLY basic.

So my reason for not bringing my stuff is that they'll look
really ugly next to your custom jobs.

Okay. They'll make your custom jobs look cooler.

Can there be respective without respect? Your CoD buildings are on fire as we speak. On that note, the next time we get together (Sunday maybe?), we should work on 5th-izing some of your buildings.

Ok, sorry for the thread hijack. Back to you Mal.

Pfft, Felix is the last person in the world to whom I'd ever feel any obligation to apologize for a thread hijack.

Besides, he'd get to play on the CoD terrain you were talking about. That is, if he weren't too cool to play 40K (I guess they could do some double-duty for Necromunda).

Respective = particular. Each of us lacks the ability to finish projects,
therefore, we have respective inabilities.

Grand Preceptor: Not too cool. For the time investment of a game of
40k I'd rather be playing Fantasy, Warmachine or Hordes. I'll give it
a try after 5th edition (perhaps at MikeCon), but I can't see it inspiring
me to commit my painting time to assembling a full Grey Knights army.

5th edition will probably remain my side project.

My June vows so far:















Good enough for tabletop.
