Saga Franks, with exotic mercenaries!

These look cracking!  How do you get all the different colours you've used on their cloth working so well together?  Are you mixing a unfiying colour into all the different highlights, or something?

[HerbertTarkel]

Yeah, same here. My gaming has decreased significantly after the pandemic as our gaming group slowly disbanded.  Painting for me has actually increased a bit as I want to complete projects and enjoy painting.  Now if only I can get your level of highlighting...

I’m in the same boat… haven’t played a game in something like 2 years, and my last game was sadly [REDACTErr4000 I just wanted to throw some dice, ya know?

It feels like all my friends who gamed aged about 10 years.

@syrinx0: Cheers!

@Captain Darling: Yeah, multi-part plastics do have their advantages and also disadvantages. As for the 'era of 3d printing'... anyway, I should have fewer opinions on that. Thanks for the comment! It certainly was a fun from an all-metal Napoleonic project back to an all-plastic Saga project.

@Curis: Oh, it's you. 'Ello. Thanks very much for the kind comment. Yeah, I do try to use at least similar paints to lighten up the base colour, but I think most of all I try to hit a happy medium of different colours, but keep it to four or so (depending on how many are required), stick to those and not add more, so among all the colour variety I enact a ban on ALL the other colours with an iron fist.

@HerbertTarkel: To be honest, if friends didn't drag me out of the house for games every now and then I probably wouldn't play at all. Somehow everything became less fun over the past 3 years, with the multiple annoyances of the pandemic (which I didn't mind as much once the first shock was over, but I was just lucky), the backwards, inexplicable, weird idea of Brexit coming into effect, making buying actual miniatures from companies I relly like unfun (and in return making 3d printing even more of a thing, which to me is the least sexy and most unfun thing in the world), inflation, the bloody wars.... eurch. Add to that additional stuff having to be done at home and with the family... and I think we all got a bit weird during the lockdowns. We all fell back unto our own particular little preferences in things. Also had a big, round birthday which very surprisingly threw me into several sorts of mental turmoil. Maybe I just did age by 10 years and developed even more of a taste for complaining. Last game I had was just 3 weeks ago, which isn't too bad, now that I think of it. Anyway, things changed since the 20s started, and only in hindsight we'll really see how much.


Aaaaaanyway, Mr.Franks [not his real name. ] came to pick up the figures and to have a lovely chat. He's very happy with them and full of praise. Job's a good'un.
