Allow myself to introduce... myself

[Pil]

Hello all, I'm new here and I have to post at least once in order not to be kicked out again, so hello all! I'm Pil, from the Netherlands, and my main miniature interests are Warhammer Fantasy and near future gaming (Combat Zone, Babylon's Burning). I haven't been lurking much but occasionally I browse this forum and find it quite inspirational, so I hope to add to it (on occasion). If you want to see what I've been up to your best bet is reading the Combat Zone Chronicles, here's a quick rundown on my published articles (sorted from old to recent)* with an indication piccie:

Well, that's it for now, I hope you enjoy the articles and the pictures and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

*I'll try not to bore you with links in the future (I prefer images in the post itself too), but since the kind people at EM4 gave me so much credit I see it's only right to direct you to their site

Hi Pil,

I have seen all your articles on The Combat Zone Chronicles and have been very impressed with your stuff, welcome on board

[Pil]

Thank you very much! There's more in the pipeline (one article already submitted and several in the make) but I don't want to steal the thunder of the Chronicles so I'm afraid I might not be posting too many pictures of work in progress here . Of course I'm happy though that you enjoy my work

Hi Pil,

so you've only just started painting wargames stuff, then, and need some help getting your technique sorted out?    ::

Sorry, couldn't resist it! That's some introduction. Fantastic work on both figures and vehicles.

I bet it all looks great on the gaming table  

BTW, how on earth did you manage the "two dudes headbanging" avatar?  :love:

I struggle to get a basic jpeg posted.....

[Pil]

It's a simple animated GIF, if you want to know how I made it I can tell you, but if you want to know how I got it as an avatar, well, I uploaded it on my own webspace, and linked to it (using the "link to offsite avatar" option). Thanks for the kind words, and yes, it looks good on the gaming table, here's a nice shot of a game in progress, showing the table:

Nobody tell him. Animated avatars are a the work of the Devil and anyone that uses them only gets one biscuit and no cake. I'm wearing out my Escape key stopping those buggers from headbanging!


Welcome Pil. Sorry, but you can't have any cake.

You learn something new every day! Didn't know you could turn them off.  :mrgreen:

Pil, with such a high quality display of miniatures I will be lenient with you, but let this be a warning to the rest: I will set the dogs on the next person adding an animated gif to his name.  :twisted:  :wink:

No need, I have a backup avatar in case animated Gifs aren't appreciated

And yeah, I didn't know that thing about the escape key either  

[Hammers]

Plynkes and I (definitely I) wield no authority on the matter; we're just venting an opinion. It disturbes, in my mind, the aesthetics of Alex' layout of the place.

So we have the Avatar inquisition now  :wink:

There was ever as toothless an instrument for the Holy Catholic Church as the Inquisition of hte Swedish Liberal Atheist with a Lutheran Cultural Background.

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again....
