So, I tried a "Cassandora Yellow" wash on Toad, to see if that helped. Lets face it, even if it didn't, Toad was going to look ridiculous anyway.

To be honest, it looks alright. Or at least, the colour it is SUPPOSED to look like when I started it. I'm going for the Cartoon Sabretooth look, so he isn't 'supposed' to look like he's got hyper realistic colours.

I'm thinking I'm going to aim for a darker toned, grittier Sabertooth. Did you tend to go for a cartoony look for the others? I didn't really think you had, but I'd just suggest going for a look that makes him feel like part of the group (which I realize is kind of ironic, since we're discussing Sabertooth).

I also think we need more people on here getting involved in this here game. What are all you guys waiting for?!

**TheAuldGrump**

I had a barbecue, then ran a Pathfinder game at a state park.

The game got taken over by a bunch of random short people that al thought that the game was fascinating. (I blame using the castle from the Reaper Bones Dragons Don't Share set....)

The grownups that were supposed to be playing the game filled their faces and watched random small strangers playing the game.

It is always good to corrupt a new generation.

Kind of. - I'm certainly using the cartoon schemes when I can. - Generally speaking though, they aren't quite as bright as Sabertooth and Toad though.

**viney**

I played a game of warmachine mk3, used a juggernaut to squish my opponents caster on charge

. Good times we had by all. Then I built the new trollblood box, sealed some random minis that I had finished and started some highlights on a DA tac squad. Now I need to start some planning on what khador minis I want for the Journeyman league we are starting here.

**SixT4Pixels**

Found an old Captain Sicarius model, planning to paint him up in time fo brothers birthday, even though it's technically his mini lol

**Selym**

Observing how an Army Painter wash & varnish thingy affects bright silver models.

The answer is excellently. Gives them a grimy metallic feel.

**Compel**

My Marvel minis so far.

Completed: Gambit
Highlighting: Colossus / Wolverine
Further Layers: Rogue, Cyclops
First Layer: Iron Man, Captain America
Just shaded: Magneto, Lady Mastermind, Toad, Sabretooth, Pyro, Thor, Jean Grey
Base Layer: Black Panther, Nightcrawler, Black Widow, Deadpool

I also decided on doing a Seraphim Sepia wash on Sabretooth's orange, figured I'd go a little darker than Toad's outfit.

**Jimsolo**

Scrambling to finish painting my 40k army before Gencon.

**AegisGrimm**

Same thing here. Trying to finish my KoW Twilight Kin before buying a Dwarf army at Gencon....

**Compel**

Boom! I think that's Sabretooth finished now...
I think...
At least he isn't pink anymore, right?

**Retrogamer0001**

Finished my Razorback and first Dark Angels squad for my Lion's Blade...only 55+ more marines and 9 more Razorbacks to go!

**Dropbear Victim**

Counted some of my collection by basecount to see what I roughly have that needs painting and/or redoing. Absolutely nothing is finished completely lol.

FANTASY
20 frostgrave
36 warmahordes
125 d&d from boardgames
10 old warhammer fantasy

Didnt get around to counting my LOTR stuff, its stored in too many places and I have blisters hidden everywhere.

SCIFI
133 space marines (maybe more around the place)
64 orks
85 tyranids
28 chaos
20 elder
3 tau (old battle suit and its 2 drones impulse buy

)

65 Infinity after red veil arrives.

Ive wasted so much paint over the years since the LOTR magazine when I started til sometime in 6th edition 40k when I last bought any paint.

**Commodus Leitdorf**

I was going to get more Dungeon Tiles painted but a friend wants to drink beer and play Magic at his place....probably going to do that instead.

**Selym**

Spending bloody ages editing the 40k 7E rulebook for clarity. Will eventually move on to changing rules.

Removed ~30,000 words so far. Tbf, I am deleting flavour text, and removed everything to do with Maelstrom missions and the Psychic Phase (and powers).

**Captain Brown**

Building a foam tray to hold a Tau Riptide and all the extra parts I have magnetized.

**Compel**

I tried out the Brotherhood today in Marvel. Will write a bit more later but they're very different from the other factions. A very heavy control based team

**Ratius**

Played game 4 of my 6 player double round robin tourney.
Today it was Crons VS nids at 1850.
Nids won 9-7.
Crons were too defensive and piecemeal :(

**Davor**

Finally got some painting done. Then I see how much time I spent, I see how much time others spend and then see how crap my painting is.

Time to cry a bit.

**ZergSmasher**

Today me and a few friends gathered at one friend's house for some 40k games. I played and lost 3 games, but learned a lot regardless. I also made the decision to bolster my existing armies rather than get into the new hotness that is Deathwatch (and the Death Masque starter set). Probably a better use of my time and money. I'm gonna start putting together a Cyclopian Cabal instead for my Chaos forces.

**Compel**

I had my first game with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants tonight in Marvel Universe. Against the X-Men, naturally.

Can you spot the differences on the board from the "Before" and "After" pics?

Overall, the game was a draw. However the sheer amount of property damage that occurred was truly representative of Marvel action.

**GrimDork**

Getting to throw stuff around sounds quite fun

Clipping sprue for rubble mix. Tedious. Have half a mind to buy a meat grinder. I'm using a lot of sand/other teeny rocky bits to supplement so its probably not really necessary but ehh..tedious.

**timetowaste85**

Built my Mantic metal ogres. Holy crap, those brutes are great. They actually LOOK like ogres. Better than their restic ogres, and FAR superior to the fat racist caricatures that are GWs ogres.

**SixT4Pixels**

Trying to finish up my Dark Angels before a tourney this weekend... So much work!

**Wyrmalla**

Booting myself in the arse to finish a 2x2 modular cave system board which I've been working on for ages. The next scenario in the Frostgrave campaign requires caves, as have the official dungeon rules came out now, so I've no excuse but to finish them (that and I haven't updated the thread I have on the subject in a while either)

Queue me giving myself miner's lung from all the sanding I'll need to do on the pieces to make sure they're flush with one another.

**Wyrmalla**

After an hour of sanding tunnel sections I caved and decided to work on something else. All this Weird War malarkey's peaked my interest in starting a project of my own.

Heh, enjoy some models so WIP that I can't even start a proper thread with them yet.

**Field_Mouse**

Going to build myself my 2nd Soul Grinder, maybe even continue painting some base slaanesh troops.

Depends on how much time tonight's Kickball match goes.

**Desubot**

Spent yesterday on a belt sander removing the bases off about 100 skavens.

going to spend today painting them :/

**toasteroven**

Making bases for KoW. Multibasing really is just nicer.

**Wyrmalla**

Till I make a WWII thread, here's a late (late, late late) war German Kätzchen APC made from a Rubicon Hetzer (you can actually make two from a box because you get two sets of tracks).

**TheCustomLime**

I'm going to clean up the mold lines of some Soviets. With BA2 around the corner and K47 out it's time to get some reds done.
