Im unsure what sci-fi miniature project will be turning my crank by the time August comes around, but it will definitely be compatible with a throwdown against a Sensei band :)<br /><br />Pirates have been threatening to jump the painting queue for a while now, so maybe those... too early to say.<br /><br />Its a good plan though. Im looking forward to it :)cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-18558967985590815232014-04-01T16:07:42.023+01:002014-04-01T16:07:42.023+01:00That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinkin...That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking. I'll bring my Sensei (I might even bring back Gerson!) and you can bring along some suitable aggressors (which, lets face it, with Sensei, could be anybody!) and we throw some dice and take the piss (while having a drink!) Do we need to book a table? Have they even started doing that yet?Whiskey Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956327711660800903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-36157631431575888832014-04-01T15:19:04.868+01:002014-04-01T15:19:04.868+01:00I would definitely be up for getting a handful of ...I would definitely be up for getting a handful of my toy soldiers on the table alongside yours: a photo of some of my guys alongside one of the only 40k Sensei warbands in existence is too good to miss :)<br /><br />Something small and skirmishy and reasonably quick to play would be great: a <10 models per side sort of thing that wouldnt take all day but was still likely to give us a few laughs is very appealing to me.cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-52872255208453237152014-03-31T13:51:53.624+01:002014-03-31T13:51:53.624+01:00I completely understand about the sanctity of your...I completely understand about the sanctity of your blog content.

I dont thin...Thanks for the nomination, very kind. I dont think that I will post the answers to this stuff on my blog - I try to keep it is pretty focused on finished miniatures and occasional batreps - but I am happy to give some answers here:<br /><br />1. A warmer version of where I currently live (rural Ireland)<br />2. Streaky bacon on fresh white bread.<br />3. Omelettes. Barely a meal I know, but I can reliably churn them out. Like 28mm orks.<br />4. I dont lie, but we do choose not to unnecessarily discuss certain things that agitate one or other of us. She has always been very supportive of my hobby, but as neither of us really want to talk about the bottom line, we dont. She is happy that it makes me happy.<br />5. I used to half jokingly say that I wanted "And another thing..." on my gravestone, but then I found out that thats also what Jeremy Clarkson wants on his... so I have had to reconsider. No substitute found as yet.<br />6. Japan. The countryside for sure, but mainly the big cities,<br />7. The camera<br />8. When I realised that girls winning Wimbledon were the same age as me, about 15 or so. I identified that I wasnt getting any younger and that time was of the essence at that point.<br />9. Friends who want them can have any that they might want, but selling them to give some cash to relatives/the dogs and cats home would be my preference for whatever is left.<br />10. Hmm. Miniature Transformers with a proper game to play with them have always been on my "to-do" list. A smaller and far more achievable goal is to get a set of the main characters from the old Ulysses 31 TV show. Thats a rocking Sensei warband right there...<br />11. In no particular order probably these: Starship Troopers, The Empire Strikes Back, Robocop, The Matrix, Aliens. Of note here is that they are not just my favourite sci-fi movies, but my favourite movies too.<br /><br />Lastly, regarding the Irish Sea getting in the way of a gaming meet, I am planning to attend the Oldhammer thing in Foundry in August. Hopefully we will get to meet up then and possibly even get a small skirmishy thing played perhaps :)cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-17018255008954524592014-03-28T21:16:17.417+00:002014-03-28T21:16:17.417+00:00Thats a good start.

Thank you muchly! I feel honoured to have be...Dude! Thank you muchly! I feel honoured to have been mentioned twice and to have been accredited with showing you the encouragement. Odd that it's now me starting to question the continued existence of my blog. I need to post more interesting stuff on it and thereby stimulate the readership!<br /><br />I’ll get around to doing a blog posting on the Liebster award over the weekend as I’m presently busy painting up some very odd and very short Dark Elves. In the meantime answers to your questions are as follows:<br /><br />1. Where would you rather be right now.<br />Ummmmmmm, I’m guessing this is a spatial question and not a time and space one so I’ll stick to nowish times and I have to be honest I’m actually quite content with where I am.<br />2. What would your last meal on earth be?<br />Probably roast beef and all the trimmings followed up by treacle sponge with lashings of custard and all washed down a few pints of Doombar slurp slurp BUUUURRRRRP…………………<br />3. What is the best meal you cook?<br />My Missus says it’s either my Lamb Hotpot (Hairy Dieters recipe) or my own recipe Cottage Pie. What can I say? I’m a simple man of simple pleasures and I like my simple meals.<br />4. Do you lie to your other half about how much you spend on your hobby?<br />Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, what am I supposed to say to this one??????????<br />5. What would you have written on your grave stone?<br />“He did no Harm” or “”Not finishing last”.<br />6. Which place on earth do you want to visit the most?<br />It was Canada, but did that, now it would be New Zealand except that LOTR has kind of made that cliché now so dunno, I’ll have a think and get back to you.<br />7. Which invention do you wish you were responsible for?<br />Dice. Can you imagine how grateful all of us gamers would be to the chap who created them? His pint glass would never be empty!<br />8. When did you realise that you were old?<br />Probably when the other half said I did Dad dancing……………………………………….<br />9. Who would you leave all your miniatures to?<br />At the moment they’d get split between my older Brother (Erny) and my eldest Nephew (mainly to wind my Sister up who won’t let me get him into the hobby).<br />10. If you could commission a range of figures what would they be?<br />Oooooooooooooooo…………………………………………. Ummmmmmmmmmmm……………………………………<br />I need to have a think about this one too, sorry, I’m useless…………………………………<br />11. Top 5 Sci-fi films<br />1. The Empire Strikes Back<br />2. Transformers the Movie (original 1985 one)<br />3. Blade Runner<br />4. Flash Gordon (because it reminds me of my Dad)<br />5. Starship Troopers (because it reminds me of my Mates when we were growing up)<br />Snickithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043252668515117665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-22487337611067882252014-03-27T21:36:21.546+00:002014-03-27T21:36:21.546+00:00Really cool - and honest - answers.

Thanks for the nice words. <br />I know th etop songs and reads is an annoying question it's why I said 5 and I should have precised there's no ranking (stupid concept of ranking things) I like the answers. I'd share your love of "Hommage to catalonia, splendid book.<br />I also share truths #4 and #7 with you. <br /><br />Anyway, Definitely planning on having a game and glass with you and the lot on a oldhammer day at some point. ;)Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.com
