Just a quick tip:
If you want to play a random scenario @ 500 points, there are 9 scenario types in SR4. Roll a d10. on a 0 you play straight caster-kill. On a 3 (Throw-Down) is a reroll.

1 - Mosh Pit
2 - No Man's Land
3 - Throwdown (Reroll)
4 - Destruction
5 - Contested Ground
6 - Break The Line
7 - Process Of Elimination
8 - Ridge Raiders
9 - King Of The Plateau
0 - (Caster kill)

Wet Palette

On another note I tried a wet palette and love it.

Ingredients:
Old Plastic container with lid
Paper Towels
Parchment Paper
Water

I took an old plastic container, lined it with paper towels (probably about 1/2" to 3/4" deep).
put enough water in the container to keep the towels wet, but not to flood the container (the parchment is going right over it and your paint goes on the parchment paper, don't want to flood that).
then took a piece of parchment baking paper and cut it to size over it.

what i can do now is mix a paint and let it sit for hours and more and come back and use it and it won't be dried out because as the paint evaporates water it soaks some up through the parchment paper from the wet paper towels.

Woot! Got 'Em





Finally received my Trollbloods warpack and Evolution book.

I sat right down and cleaned the models and washed them free of mold release. Probably going to go to War & Pieces tomorrow to work on modeling them.









Step-By-Step

Also tonight I sealed my basing for Borka Kegslayer and the Pyg Keg Carrier.

Sealing is just taking a 65/35 or 70/30 water to white glue mix and spreading it over the base materials to solidify it.

Pin Vise With Wax

I tried a new technique in pinning, before I try to drill the piece I drill a hole in a candle. The wax that ends up on the drill bit lubricates the bit and it seems to cut better and faster.

Cleaning Mold Release

Cleaning Mold Release:
3-4 Drops of dishwashing liquid
1-2 cups of warm water
old toothbrush

Just drop the model in the water&dish liquid then as you pull it out give it a quick scrub with the toothbrush to get the crevices. Rinse the model and pat dry with a paper towel and let air dry.
