Picked this one: http://www.heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17

One orded and will have a look at weekend to see what painting gear is like.

You know that if I have managed to do anything sort of decent enough, you can use no problem.

Got a blue background that has never been used and need tested.

Will see if painting gear is still usable and put order in for figure and see if I can still slap paint on. 

Anything not massive you need painted picture of?

Still alive and popped in to have a look but even with a week lost there was 30+ pages of stuuf so I marked them read.

Would have taken me all week to catch up.

Libertee's Miscellaneous Musings II / Re: What are you reading right now?

« on: March 07, 2010, 12:40:36 AM »

I'm just starting book 3 of "The Tripods" 4 if you count the prequel which I read first.

Got and watched the old BBC adaptation of the first two books and wanted to know what happens in the third part which they didn't bother to make all those years ago.  
So I searched and got the three books off amazon and found out there was a forth prequel one so I got it as well.
The BBC production is kinda the same as the books but they did change it to suite a more older audience than the books were written for.
Since I paid for them and want to know what happens in the third part I'm reading them anyway but I'm more a fantasy/horror and Sci-Fi fan when it comes to reading and in that order or even better all three mixed together.

I like the books I get from here.
http://www.abaddonbooks.com/titles/

I have read most of the Afterblight Chronicles (read first 5) Tomes of the Dead (Read first 5) Pax Britannia (Read first 3) and enjoyed them all.
I haven't had much time to read or spare cash so haven't got any in a while but I will get more.

Doctor Who / Re: Doctor Who

« on: January 09, 2010, 06:58:45 AM »

Spotted one of the special effects guys on doctor who, his head anyway.

Four to Doomsday, Episode One, it was when Monarch went to open the Tardis you could see the top of the head between to machines on the left.
He must have been there to operate the levers to make the devices Monarch used to try to open the Tardis.

I'm working my way through the old Doctor who's.

Tomes of The Dead is a collection of some of the very best eyeball popping, gut munching, zombie fiction around, groaning with horror and excitement. Each book will explore the zombie genre in new and thrilling ways. Join us in these worlds of the dead and remember to leave your sanity by the door!

Andy's head and hands with Kev's body, I also made the axe.
GW Skelly, metal shield and sword I got off ebay ages ago, broken pillar also off ebay, stone coaster for base, glass mosaic tiles, gravel (different sizes) and something else I can't remember what.

So a good bit of work went into it.

The slow motion can either hit you at the wrong time or help save your ass.

Watch the trailer at the bottom, it's real footage from the game.

It's dark, gritty and not cartoony the way "Left 4 Dead" is and came out last month so £10.99 is very cheep for such a great game.

If you like "Left 4 Dead" then you have to try "Killing Floor" solo or six player co-op but I have seen a server with 30 co-op going.

Much more choice and your not having to goto the same place each time and plenty of new maps being made by players all the time.
It uses steam so don't buy it second hand, new only.

Get it here for £10.99
http://www.dvd.co.uk/Games/Killing-Floor-PC-DVD/KILLINGFLOOR/product.htm

You can pay a bit extra and download it from steam.

Special Features

    * Persistent Perks system, allowing players to convert their in-game achievements into permanent improvements to their character's skills and abilities

    * Watch those crucial and violent creature deaths in slow-mo "ZEDtime", even in multiplayer
    * Solo game mode for offline play
    * 9 different monster types trying to eat your face off, armed with everything from teeth and claws, through to chainsaws, chainguns and rocket-launchers
    * 12+ weapons for the players to chose from, ranging from knives and fire-axes up to pump shotguns, rifles and a flamethrower
    * Add in a welder, medical tools and body armour to help the players survive
    * Players choose which Perks to play with, so they can best balance out a co-op team to survive the horrors
    * Open, non-linear play areas: choose when and where to fight - or run - weld doors closed to try and direct the monster horde
    * Fully-configurable, allowing players to change things as simple as the difficulty level or number of creature waves, or go so far as to set up their own favourite waves of monsters

I got the game from play and spotted steam had it half price special and that's where my brother got it.
Keep am eye on steam like agentmolar said and get it cheep, since the new one is coming out you might get the old one cheeper still.

Don't get second hand as it will be fixed to that persons steam account.

Cheddarmongers is hosted by a FOD member "Cheddarmonger" and allows you to host any painted miniture figure you do while inageshack and photobucket would block painted nude miniture figures and such, as Klute found out when his was.

It's where I host mine.
