UK Games Day 2006 get together mini

[squig hunter]

then can I do a regular trooper?

 

[Orb]

I\'ll go for a 25mm base, but I really like 40mm bases

(the coin wont work as the tab needs to be accomodated I think.........)

Bill.........I have one of those backpacks......want one?

 

[tidoco2222]

@Rob : Go for it then .

@Others : Please restrain yourselves to 25mm bases. This is for an auction for charity. Too many odd sized bases will hinder the final price.

 

[squig hunter]

can we convert them?
Oh and from what Orb said a while ago do you buy the minis and mail the to people or do we buy them ourselves?

 

[KingM]

I bought the Vostroyan flamer from WW today, so I\'m set


I\'m quite happy to do it NMM, should be a good challenge. Tim, you know you want to really

 

[War Griffon]

Never did like NMM the way I did it so I guess I might as well have another go, shame I can\'t do shaded metalics, never mind maybe next time

Rob,
I have just been playing around with the one I have here and found that if you angle the figure into the slot favouring the left foot then he stands up straight without falling over it does mean however that his right foot is in the air but I am sure if you put him on a rubble base it will look OK.

@squig hunter : please read my post on page 2 for full details.

You have the Vostroyan comm link pack or the cadian one? Either would be great, and I\'m going to order the Vostroyan one with my medic anyway. It\'ll give me plenty to play around with, and with some plasticard, guitar strings, a couple of bits of tau and maybe an SM backpack, I can have lots of fun buidling a rig I\'ve also found a cadian Vox Box, for the Vostroyan back pack they used the same one and just added a V and an extra pole with some wire roud it

As for the coin, maybe pinning the guy\'s foot would be the answer? Or even one of those Norwegian øre that have holes in the middle :] Good luck anyway.

I gave my first attempt at NMM last night, on some chainmail. I was amazed at how it came out to be honest, but full metal armour (as the medic has) and gun barrels may post a different challenge... just received our lovely new camera today 7.2 megapixels (1.1 better than our previous camera), the screen is half an inch wider, yet the camera itself is half the size Once it\'s charged up, I\'ll get some photos online toute suite.

Finally, some thoughts about basing: size limitation shouldn\'t hopefully be too much of a problem, and we know the style of base we are going for, the grimy industrial type. However, just to keep the squad unified, maybe you could stipulate base colour schemes? eg. the ground must be, say, scorched brown drybrushed codex grey. Or something similar, just to keep them that little more together. A more extreme idea (this is just an idle thought), there are 17 participants or potential participants, someone could buy the massive Imperial City ruins box set thing that GW has made. It costs £100 though (145.40€ or $181.84 USD), which is a bit too much. Split beween 17 of us the price wouldn\'t be so obscene, but shipping etc. may cause problems. A better option, the Imperial Sector, which costs half the above prices. Here\'s what you get.

Just something that we could consider. If all 17 paid their part for the £50 box set, that would be only £2.94 each (4.27€ or $5.35), but again there would be other factors. That would give us some nice basing material and would help unify the squad more. Once again, I stress that this is just an idea :innocent:

¡Adios!
~Bill :flip:

Rob: Please PM me. Do you still have my adress from the snow?

 

[Orb]

I have a spare plastic cadian one, but also until I post it a vostychappy one to compare it with.

cool new camera!!! what did you get in the end. And make sure you use a coloured backdrop!!!!! lol

Bill, yes I do

 

[penguin]

Cheers Rob New camera: funny video about it here. Search \"vox\" in the GW online store to find the cadian voxBox, then search \"comm\" to look at the Vostroyan backpack. They really are remarkably similar :]

Tschuess!

[squig hunter]

you still didnt anwer my question whether we buy the minis ourselves or get them sent by you.

 

[james sequeira]

GS said read page 2

 

[squig hunter]

so I did and I didnt see anything about that there.

 

[darkartminiatures]

Anyone want to do an official list of colours that should be used for these guys? Oh, i only have gw paint btw

 

[War Griffon]

There is some sketches on page 2 with a suggested colour scheme.

 

[darkartminiatures]

Thanks. i still think we should all use the same colours of paint since they are going to be part of a platoon. Whats everyone say on this? or should we just go about it the way we would normally (based from the concept on page two) and see the different styles and use of colour? Maybe a little poll for those involved?

 

[Thecadian]

any thing about my query??
