Title: Talamania IV Goals.
Post by: joshuaslater on April 30, 2009, 08:32:33 AM
I'm posting here in Announcement, as it covers all goals one wishes to achieve for T4.  I'll start.

1.  I'm painting my own Brotherhood force for the event.  Brand X gets enough of my business, but I paint the armies I primarily play and let everyone push around the pro painted goodness.

2.  Chariot?  It's on.  I may have to see if Dane can help me with the stats if I go out there and build one extra special, but I will build one.

3.  Instead of buying even more pewter, I'm going to invest in travel cases to pack enough Chronopia and Unit Cards to go nuts.  I'd like to do something special for Chronopia both at Talamania IV, and for battles up to that time.

Go ahead and post, as I expect people to call me out on these goals.  I  need all the help I can get.

Cheers.

"Your one" ?

Oh Thom...
Did you already give up, or is that do you need an editor for your posts too?
saw shot HAD to take it

Anybody that comes up with a Chariot I will make a custom sheet for it before the next time we game, If you can I will even have it for Dexcon if it shows. Just send me a photo and the names of the riders and I will type it out. I will also hand out a set of the rules to anyone who wants them, I have to fix them up a tad then I will make a PDF and post them where you can get them.

Be Well
William

1) Finish as many of my armies as possible
2) Talk a lotta smack
3) Arrive ready to kick ass and take names
4) Hope everyone is having too much fun to notice my Smack-talk Fu is not as powerful as I led everyone to believe
5) Practice saying The sun was in my eyes convincingly to cover my less than powerful gameplay
6) Have more fun than is legal in most "Bible Belt  States"   ;D

Apparently, we gotta ask, so I'll do it - Tim, enlighten us, please? (note, if you make a statement, it turns into a question simply by adding a question mark at the end of the statement ;D)

OK, I was going to wait to post some pics but I will post the shortcut now.

I like to use GW paints as you all know, I am used to their consistancy etc. I bought some of the new inks they have and tried them.

I found that they work very well indeed. I undercoated (after prime coat) with grey (mid tone) and I merely applied a consistant (not too generous, not too light) coat of the new black ink. The effect mimic what looks like an oily gun metal sheen. It is better to look at up close but I will post pictures in the off to the races II thread.

I plan to use this shortcut on assault marine armor.

Pictures posted in Off to the races II.

I ordered 4 additional GW Inks and they are expensive. I will try a "magic" wash solution on a test Hirst art mold piece to see if it works as well.

Magic wash formula:

1p Future floor finish (for non-wax floors)
4p water
Black Ink

Just for s and giggles:

Weathering formula:

2p gloss varnish (I use Liquitex matte varnish - much less expensive)
1p Chestnut ink
1p brown ink
5p water

Rust:
Fiery Orange paint
water
gloss varnish (I use Liquitex matte varnish - much less expensive)
 
Rust effect can be made with Tamika weathering kit (Doc O'briens also)
or
Weathering pen from woodland scenics (train stores carry them)

Gloss varnish requires a Matte/Dull coat spray/brush on application to get rid of the shiny effect.

Linda and I are confirmed for T4. I will most likely be bringing a new player to the fold, Brian Barnes. We also may be seeing Damian Decarpentier too....
Both awesome dudes and great gamers, and they are new so we can slap them around before they get all the rules and start dishing it back....

Looking forward!

I see... so your warzone fu has fallen to the point of needing new meat to beat.  Very sad...  I am sorry to hear this. ;) ;) ;)

Anyways, glad to hear you can make it there and I hope to make the next one.

Well...

  Who ever said it never rains in Southern California.... never lived here.  Since I got here in January, about a third of the days have seen rain.  Some of it torrential.  Now, I know it's the rainy season here... but damn.

As to where the next leg of this tour goes, all I know now is I'm going somewhere to get shot at.  Don't know which place yet.  Far cry from what I was asked to come and do but thats Uncle Sam.  Bait and switch a specialty.  ::)

Yeah yeah... you and Linda have had a standing invite to Reading since Les and I moved here. :p  At some point, we will get together.  Not till December at least though- thats when I am supposed to be back for good.  :)

Consider that an IOU. :)

My unit (old National Guard unit - Artillery), had the same thing happen - guess what (At Fort Dix) you are now heading to Afghanistan instead of Cuba - great.

Luckily, I had fulfilled my commitment to Uncle Sam prior to the activation.

You are on Archer, that sounds like a plan.

Way back answer to a shot to my man TPrime. I would never make a comment on not posting, I am barely a whisper on the boards, I am catching up myself.

But I had to find an excuse to talk some trash to you.

Love all you guys, I am SOOO pumped for Tal 4!

Be Well
