In three days I'm getting over five pounds of minis. . . . I need more paint. E: What (if anything) are you guys using to prime? I generally don't prime Bones because most primers I use create some kind of reaction with the plastic that makes it tacky forever, but being able to spray down a few dozen at once to get a nice even prime/basecoat would be great if possible. I...think I've had good luck with Vallejo brush-on primer in the past but I don't really remember (painting minis is never my most sober activity). I might try running that through my airbrush...hmmm... Rockman Reserve fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Jun 7, 2017 |

Why did I think I needed so many lizardmen  I ordered two extra Creepin Lizards packs, apparently, even though I actually have some lizardmen in bones already, enough for 99% of the kinds of encounters I run in my games. I want to say at one point I might have hosed with the pledge manager with the intention of getting into some kinda wargame but I have no idea what the wargame hotness du jour was when I ordered - what games would shitloads of lizards be good for?I've also started re-reading the Frostgrave ruleset, because I've got space to set up a table or two for gaming and good lord do I ever have minis now. Anyone got pics of cool Bones-based Frostgrave warbands (not necessarily from Bones III KS) that they could share for inspiration before I go trawl the actual FG thread? Also: a player in my D&D campaign is a half-sane warlock who thinks he's a priest to Shub Niggurauth. I ordered the mini really without paying much attention to the sculpt, because 1) I need bigger boss monsters and 2) even if I didn't end up using it I figured the player would have a laugh with it, whatever. But now that I have it in hand....that thing is huge and actually fits the aesthetic I'm pushing for in that aspect of the campaign so well that I'm going to bend the plot a little to make him encounter her sooner. It's just an incredible sculpt, it looks busy as hell like latter-day GW stuff but obviously with the couldn't-break-this-if-I-tried resiliency of Bones. Now I'm sitting here kinda wondering why everyone isn't making scrolls and robes and tentacles and other notoriously fragile bits out of whatever goop Bones is - I'd be saving a shitload of money in Battlefoam, that's for sure.

NTRabbit posted:Were you perhaps thinking about making a Salamanders army for Kings of War? This was probably it, how many lizards does one realistically need for KoW? I don't see a free Salamanders list on the site  Ashcans posted:Yea, that was my thought too. Alternatively. You might have bought them because lizards are awesome and you can always use more. Lizards are awesome. I'm already thinking about customizing a quartet as TMNT pastiches. I mean, I gotta practice kitbashing Bonesium stuff anyway now that I have all these random weapons. This is seriously like one of the best KSes I've backed. I was just starting to get back into painting, and BAM, five pounds of minis.

Yeah, I decided to get a bit weird with it. My wizard is going to be the villainously androgynous lookin' Jean-Luc Picard looking spear dude who I have named Lucius von Trigger, with the spear modified into a sorta steampunky staff. His apprentice is Hungry Boy Billiam, the barefoot halfling cook from the Townsfolk Bones III (whose ladle is obviously sharpened and counts as a sword) - after all, it would be a foolish expedition to not bring along a decent cook. The half-orc looking Townsfolk with the treasure chest and barrels strapped to his back is a treasure hunter, the hero lady holding a scepter and potion is an apothecary, some random mook is an infantryman, and a noir-lookin' dude with pistols is a crossbowman (because von Trigger is a chronomancer, you see, and he really really likes a restaurant in 1930s Chicago where he met the guy.) For treasure tokens I shoved some spare sprue weapons into some fake rocks and put 'em on bases, they look much better than I feel they should for the <20 mins of effort I put into them. Pics of everything when it's got at least a few highlights n such.

What do people use the Chronoscope stuff for? I'm always tempted to get some modern/scifi stuff but I really don't know that I'd get a ton of use out of them.
