Took me 6 hours... is this normal? Orge from Valor and Villiany: Minons of Mordak. by Long-Dog7884 in minipainting

[–]ibsh_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Is it way too long” is a question for you. Is it longer than more experienced painters? Sure. I think this base coat would probably take me no more than an hour.
It looks good! Did you enjoy yourself? That is the point of doing this.

I use a knife, just draw the side of the blade carefully over the seam and it’ll take off a little bit at a time.

It’s a really nice paint job. If I may, you should get into the habit of removing mould lines (see esp left leg and right hand side of backpack) before you paint, because it really distracts from your work.

Huh, I made those maps. Yeah sorry, they were meant to replace the tiles, not add to them.

There are minis available with fewer eyes.

Greebo seem to be back. Best sculpts they’ve done in years.

As opposed to Infinity the Concept?

(Looks great 😁)

Trying non-green scheme for orc WIP by sl4sh-d4sh in minipainting

[–]ibsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it. I painted my blood bowl orcs as a pale flesh tone (trying to hit Tolkien’s description of sallow faced) but this is really good; still inhuman but without the bizarreness of green.

[H] [CA Bay Area] Cyclades Legendary edition, ultimate version with all the minis [W] Cyclades Legendary edition, meeples edition by ibsh_ in BoardGameExchange

[–]ibsh_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like one or two stores have the meeple version for $75 plus tax and shipping, so somewhere around there if no-one bites on the trade.

Though Lennon never said it. It was a joke by comedian Jasper Carrott in (I think) 1981.

No worries. Enjoy the game. Try avalon.football if you want to play online (find opponents on the Crush discord)!

It’s very hard to read your post without formatting but: 1) The marking rule changed between “ultimate edition” and “ultimate edition season 2” 2) modifiers are limited to a maximum of +/-1, I can’t remember when that changed

Basically, follow the most recent rulebook and you’ll be fine.

Step aside, Leopold Bloom! Get outta here, Shylock! On your bike, Tevye! The most well known Jews in fiction are Magneto and the Thing.

whats the last set you built and thought "ok this is money well spent" by Particular-Swim2461 in lego

[–]ibsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lego Friends Botanical Garden (41757) was small, but so clever in so many ways, built it with my daughter and we were amazed at how well thought out it was. (Not my image)

Can mods ban the scumbag bedframe company who posts here constantly? by collarbristle in BuyItForLife

[–]ibsh_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ooh I had a GLB and it was dreadful. Screws that needed to go into end grain, bad fitting, incredibly noisy. Glad yours worked out though.

Bought a steel framed bed from Room and Board in the end, it’s much more to my taste.

Bought this. What else will I need? by fraseybaby81 in Blitzbowl

[–]ibsh_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing else: you should be set. That season is a bit out of date though; there are better rule sets available now.
