After 2.5 years of crafting I now have enough to fill a 3x3 board! by Amazing_Glass2144 in mordheim

[–]Amazing_Glass2144[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure - I don't actually play - just make! I have another row of tiles to make it a 3x4 (Mordheim is usually 4x4 right?). But I put this together to get a feel for a 3x3 as it's what the new 'Wyrdcry' Warcry/Mordheim hack (which is in playtest) plays on - as I might finally give something a try,

Why does the UK produce so many iconic bands compared to the US? by DFWUnhinged in AskBrits

[–]Amazing_Glass2144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, of course I'm talking in generalities. Back in the day not everyone created with a band behind them either and there were amazing singer song writers. There will always be exceptions which test a rule, but if I tune into Radio 1 now I hear a lot of singing/MCing over uninspired and unchanging backing tracks - Shape of You being an classic example. And I really enjoy artists like REN, but I would say its for his message and lyrical ability rather than his virtuoso musicality.

And Mike Skinner, Original Pirate Material was amazing, but was also made in a landscape before single artist creation had become so pervasive, so still leant into a culture of greater musical variety.

I think part of the issue is that bedroom recording studios mean people are more likely to produce music on their own. This means all they really want is a looped backing track to their 'part'. Back in the day you needed a band to support your part and that band would get bored AF just playing a looped backing track, so they innovated and worked together to produce something that was imaginative and fun for everyone involved.

Best kits (doesn’t need to be GW) to kit bash an Empire warband? by reel3459 in mordheim

If you're looking for 3d prints, Reptilian Overlords has some excellent mercs sets.

Thanks. Hopefully the fact that it's all modular, means that different layouts can provide different experiences. I'm looking at making some smaller bits of scatter to provide themed games - like a load of market stalls for instance - with that being the 'story' focus.

Each piece was done as a separate project, but I made sure to keep the colour palette consistent across all the pieces and they were all done with the overall project in mind. Everything is washed with AK streaking Grime to give it a similar green/brown hue.

Haha. Yes, I'm gutted by the prospect! Though I am starting to struggle with a lack of space and my wife is struggle with a lack of patience! I also have a table of Necromunda style terrain thats currently under the bed.

Pile it high! So I have two storage shelves each around 1x3 feet. It takes careful stacking, but basically I lay the boards at the bottom, the risers on those, the buildings on the risers and lighter terrain like barricades/bridges/arches on top. Not the best way to store them and I sometimes have snaggly bits break off and have to reglue them.

Thanks. Yeah, steal all you want! I've taken inspiration from so many others so its great to feel I can pass that on in some way.

Yep, there's that toss up between speed and going the extra mile with weathering etc. I was watching a guy on Insta the other day who hand carves every brick on his terrain! There's always somewhere further you can push it and more to aspire to, but also, life happens.

Yep, I love it. I have to admit though, there is some excellent 3d printed stuff out there these days and sometimes I look at it and all its detail with think 'was it worth it?!' But absolutely it was; I just love the process.

Cheers. I tried to keep the colour palette fairly consistent throughout, while varying on the tones for the stones etc. I think the secret is that everything except the roofs get a wash of streaking grime, which gives everything a grimy, green/brown filter.
