More Adventures in Contrast Paints I've been rustling through the dusty figure cases for the random army cast-offs that never got finished. This gives me the opportunity to kill (paint) two birds with one stone: finish those old models, and compare Contrast to old (sometimes very old) paint colors. First up, some laggards from my Beasts of Chaos army, which is so old it was called a Beastmen army back then, or is it the other way around now? At some point 15 years ago I decided to stop playing Orcs & Goblins, but coincidentally the new incarnation of the Beastmen book had new Tuskgor chariots, so I was able to yoink the Orc crew and replace them with Gors. Trouble was, I never got around to painting the new crew. So I fished them out of the case and sprayed them with Wraithbone primer. I spent about a couple hours painting up all six crew, with the first chunk of time experimenting with Contrast color combinations to match the reddish-brown tone of the rest of the army. I ended up doing a basecoat of Gore-Grunta Fur followed by a layer of Volopous Pink over the top. It's not a perfect match, but I'm really happy when the the result. More importantly, the crew fit in perfectly with the chariots painted over a decade ago. Check out how closely the horns on the Gors match the horns on the Tuskgors. The Tuskgor ones took multiple layers and ages; the Gors took one coat of Skeleton Horde and about 10 seconds!

How about tonight (Thu) at 8:00?

See what I mean? This level of insight doesn't come casually. It's like playing with Tony Romo: he knows what's going to happen before the ball is snapped!

Aww, shucks. It's only because of the tireless efforts of @Spielmannsfluch, a true gentleman and scholar of the game.

I’m keeping 2. 4, 7, 8, 15.

All my mistakes are on purpose, too.

Yeah, those guys suck Burn the witch! !

Cool, I'm aim to be online at 8 PM.

How about Wednesday, Part 2?

It's not even close to March, let alone 2021.

March 😛

No worries. Get some rest and the clowns on this forum can make more fun of us.

I heard Panther Funk is back in, no way I'm missing that.

Weav is correct. However, @WestRider, I could play you Monday or Wednesday night around 8.

Both of my Witch Elves are now dead, with no cash on the horizon. Time to cut down the roster and engage Morg mode.

Congrats, Burk!

Probably Sunday night. That work?

I can try to coordinate something late night this week, but if that's not an option for you, I will be out of town (and away from laptop) until Jan 4. I don't mind waiting until then, just a heads up.

@michaels it says right in the footnotes of that article:

I have now been exposed to the soul flaying that is the BB2 dice rolling.

@Burkwe just played

Steve gets Bosco's tissue-paper elves and I get kb's murder machine? #rigged

The top post is updated with the final Step of playing Warcry. Great game, great fun! Thanks to everyone who read along with this painting adventure.

What Robyn said. 😁

Oh, I couldn't join the main competition because I don't have a ticket. Unless there's another way?
