Addictions

[Stunke]

Ok people.
Lets hear it, 3 wargaming related addictions per member...(ok 5 tops)

1) Painting too much stuff green
2) Obsessive rereading of my armies statlines
3) Dice shopping :oops: (I like razorsharp edges and striking contrasts)

3b) THIS DAMNED FORUM!!!

[DA_Demorney]

1) buying minis without having the time to paint em

2) writing, even if no one ever reads it

3) downloading tutorials

[Pr0fane]

1. Collecting pics of greens and studio paintjobs. ;)
2. This forum
3. The Armies mini-game at MiniPainters (http://www.minipainters.com/forums/index.php?s=ae48a19078606ef6c6bcabf46770a904&act=army).
4. Assembling & converting proxies for Dark Age
5. Desert Combat mod for BF1942.

Can't afford any, used to be WOW like 100000 hours a day, now is just DA... :oops:

I did accumulate a ton of painted minis for like 20 years, just sold them all. Except DA studio paintjobs of course.

1: Knowing the background fluff backwards. And forwards. And backwards again.
2: Buying and painting minis.

Ok, what exactly is "3. The Armies mini-game at MiniPainters"?

[Pr0fane]

DarkHost; it's a text-based army-building game over at MiniPainters forum.

[Vaxillus]

1)Buying stuff I'll never have time to paint from random armies

2)Spending too much time on forums when I could be painting

3)Painting everything red and green (or the various tints, shades, and variations therof)


I'v been pretty good about painting Dark Age though. My completeness is listen in my sig. I have a bad NMM addiction though, which causes what should be gaming quality to take about four days to complete, which means I have to improve everything else. I have thus invented the term 'skirmish quality,' which is above 'gaming quality' but far from anything I'd enter in a competition.

[RnDm]

1) Knowing the rules to 12 or so different miniatures games... by heart

2) owning rulebooks to games that ill never play

3) Taking insurance out on your Pewter because you have that damn much

4) ARMIES (the horde is coming for you Profane!!)

5) Spending more time on Miniature related forums than I do painting/Gaming.

[steeldragon]

1.- Building army lists I will never use from all available races of games I seldom play

2.- Eating the paint in my brushes.

3.- Mini-related forums.

2.- Eating the paint in my brushes.


I recognise that one.
I switched from Citadel to Vallejo, hoping that their bone colour wouldn't taste as bad... I was wrong. :(

[gunslinger]

ok here's my three..

buying dice to match my armies.
buying cool items for my army and knowing full well i will never use them
and...
knowing the fluff back and forwards to the point i argue with people about whether an army is fluffy rather than legal..

Vallejo makes my tongue numb... so I don't like it. At all. Rackham paints are my new love. The finish is superb.

1 Hanging around the forum.
2 Asking Magpie questions about fluff.
3 Harassing Magpie to buy more minis for me to paint.
4 Harassing Magpie to base minis I've painted *Cough*Yovanka*Cough*

[Stunke]

Vallejo: How do you pronounce it?

I claim its pronounced [ v@, 'je ho ]
va as is varnish
'je as in yeti

And I just realised to last ho sound doesn't exsist in english!!!

My claim is that to l's becomes a j in spanish and italian, but everyone still pronounces it: val-ayo

Help me out here :wink:

[steeldragon]

Vallejo is a word in spanish... but you got it wrong in italian... it would be the equivalent of a "ge" for italian speakers.

Don't now how to put the phonetic possibilities in here...

but you got it right.

ok, here is what our local spaniard says.. (and realize everyone has different speak abilities ..

va (like va va voom)
lle (like lay down but not so heavy on the ay.. not too many words in english have the right pronounciation)
jo (ho like a street ho...)

anyways, that is what he says.. he says some say va yeh ho as well depending on whether they are south spanish or not.. and i won't even tell you what my central and south american friends came up with..
