My questions are here:

1. What would be a good background for the photos which only display models not backgrounds?
2. What would be a good lighting for the photos which include a background and models?
3. Should I include diffirent painting variants (like diffirent camo patterns for instance)?
4. Do I need photoshop or other photo editing programs?
5. Did you like answering these questions?

1.uh ? 2 .uh uh ? 3.yarp ! 4. Yarp ! 5. Narp !

Eh... CURNOW what are you doing???

( uh... uh uh... yarp yarp....narp????)

Apparently referencing Hot Fuzz.

Please tell us more about this 'very diffirent' codex you are creating?

1. White Paper or something more interesting.
2. A light?
3. Yes.
4. Maybe?
5. Not really, no.

Il bite as i am intrigued.

1) giant flat one colour (im canadian so yes theres a "u" ) solid surface

2)for overkill a giant construction site light, realisticaly a good desk lap that you can aim

3)depends on the fluff..... do they strictly stay to their company colours or do they have small eliteist squadrons that can break the norm
of there colouring without being shot by a commisar

4)never used any so no comment

5)ahhh hell no

Canadians speak English English?

Oh that's made me happy Really thought you guys were suckers for an "American education" like the Europeans...

Ok… thanks!

If you guys want I can later send a link (when I complete the codex) of the codex if you are interested.

We also like to toss in a bit of our own flavour to the english language at times it tends to keeps the amaricans guessing

Moar queshtchinz!!!

6. Should I put a large army photo with numbers?

7. Should I put the special characters to a certain ''shine'' amongs the others?

8. How can I make this ''shine''?

9. Should I build army specific terrain?

10. Did you like answering these questions?

1: Use a lightbox. Even a very cheap one will do.
2: Flourescent bulbs marked "Daylight" rather than "soft white" will give you much more natural looking lighting, for reasons that are a bit too complicated for a wargaming forum. If you're really looking for help with photography though, check out the photography articles here on Dakka and on coolminiornot.
3: Certainly wouldn't hurt.
4: They're incredibly helpful. Yes.
5: Eh.

6: By "with numbers" do you mean "with large numbers of troops?" Then yes. It'll show off the new force as a (hopefully) cohesive unit.
7: Yup, it'll add another element of variety. Special characters make things interesting.
8: Gloss paint? No, don't do that. But make sure you follow through with all the things that make a mini look good (basing, highlighting, shading, detailing, etc) with all the things that make a photo look good (lighting, composition, etc)
9: Entirely up to you. It could certainly add a lot to your more expansive pictures, but it probably won't be missed if it's not there.
10: see #5.

Finally! a Perfect answer! ~8-)

1. large-ish white card
2. a desklamp and a flashgun will do
3. whatever floats your boat
4. using photoshop or gimp never hurts, amazing what 2 minutes on a computer can do to a photo.
5. I didn't dislike answering
6. dont understand the question
7. yes
8. depends what you consider shiny
9. for "pro" looking photo's of an army, yes, but you could just build a small diorama.
10. no less than the first 4.

Uh, I don't mean to be rude and all, but how does this relate to the thread?

Question 6. Clearification: the big picture with a large army in it and numbers from 1 to 5 on the units like:

1. The command squad is an important part of the army
2. The massed infantry squads are the backbone of the army
3. The tanks are mainly used for tank hunting and support
Etc.

Here we go- when you know the joke sucked- when you have to explain it.


It's a joke from a while back, a user posts this and just.. yeah.




Why did you have to ruin my fun?
