Thanks for the tip. I'm a big fan of airbrushed Stynylrez primer, which goes on like butter so the texture should be good... but it'll be a bit cold in color 😕 I wonder if I can tint the white a bit? Hmmm....

I hope they'll help me speed along my Ork Boyz...

Just finished Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. It was a bit slow in places (particularly the start of the third section) but overall I really enjoyed it. Now, reading Dune again. I re-read every few years and enjoy it every time.

Vancouverite here. I play in my basement, because it's super-close to home and serves whatever beverage I'm in the mood for. 😉 If that wasn't available, I'd play at Ordo/WoW in Portland on Tuesday nights or maybe at Dice Age (also in Vancouver). Most stores are too loud for me. I can't imagine playing at Guardian Games.

My favorite point in the game is when we both run out of Command Points. It's like taking your shoes off at the end of a long day standing.

Dark Angels have a lot of hobby potential too, what with the Raven Wing and Death Wing subfactions. Would your nephew be ok playing a traitor army, though?

I think Salamanders have a lot going for them. The rerolls are nice, plus who doesn't like purging the heretic with fire? Also, the color scheme is pretty easy for a beginner.

Tim Powers' Alternate Routes: It feels like an action-y Fault Lines novel, with the requisite mythological weirdness combined with the living treating the dead badly. I enjoyed it (it is Tim Powers after all) but it isn't as good as the Fault Lines titles, Anubis Gates, or Declare.

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't access it -- I guess you need to be 'friends' with the poster.

Got a link to the post?

You sure about that?

Mr. Wint was played by Bruce Glover... Crispin Glover's dad.
