1) Which of these models do you think is the easiest/hardest to paint?

easiest: Brood models due to the colours I chose - and slimy bestial minis are more forgiving when painting mistakes happen
hardest: Drags, as I still haven't found "my colour scheme" for them

2) Which miniature is your absolute fav to game with?

Sawblades

3) Which DA miniature embodies you as a person the most and why?

Best fit is St. Luke, but as he's not in play yet I will quote three others:
Cesspool ... he is what he is due to reasons not of his own making, so he follows his path and his own honour codex.
Curwen ... for being resourceful and fascinated by things better left alone.
Mary ... for being torn between wrath and care.

1) Which of these models do you think is the easiest/hardest to paint?

Easiest Army- Brood (see above)
Easiest Model - Ice Elemental
Hardest Piece - Dragryi Slaves' wrist/ankle ropes.
Hardest Army - Forsaken, any (varying layers / uniforms)

2) Which miniature is your absolute fav to game with?

Whichever ones my opponent sets down.
I have a Tie, I think: Shardslaves or Saint Mary (talk about polar opposites)

St Mary, IMO, is the best near-close range killer Saint. (The debate vs John would have to go in another tread). Move her right into the scrum. The enemy swarms her and ticks a point or two of damage. She gets all ticked-off. Next round she either splatterates large opponents in CA with Rage bonuses, or breaks and Sprays (twice!) and Commands another Squad to come clean up anything left. . . Beautiful.

Shardies I love for their disruption. As soon as you lay them down, you have taken over the flow of the game. Your opponent has to deal with them. If they die, they are only 16 points and well worth the distraction. Otherwise, they run in and try to give everyone nice big hugs. If they kill something great. If my opponents kill them, great. If not, I'll shoot them myself . . . great! (Ahh, Kaboom, how I love thee. . . Add Pierce from a Friend, and its like Choclate and Peanut Butter)

3) Which DA miniature embodies you as a person the most and why?

Simple: Orchid. Obviously.

Easiest to paint:
Probably the weaponsmith for the Forsaken. He took me only a few hours start to finish and was good fun to paint, getting him to look all greasy and stained without looking sloppily painted. I was pleased with the results too which is always nice.

Hardest to paint:
I've had some long battles with saints, characters, harpies etc. but they've all been great fun (most of the time) so I'm not counting them. The dragyri might have taken this spot but I always share painting them with Sharae, so whenever it gets to be a struggle the other takes over. No, the grand prize for most infuriating to paint goes to Ratchets. Find a grey hair on my head, cut it in half, look at it under a microscope and you'll find it has

Granted that DA has some of the coolest models in the miniature war gaming hobby?

1) Which of these models do you think is the easiest/hardest to paint?

Easiest to paint? Puds! They short, they are squirmy and they have great teeth. Its almost impossible to paint these things wrong!

The Hardest! Brood Hounds - I don't know what unholy curse was laid on these puppies but I can't seem to get the knack of them. (Flesh has never been easy for me)

2) Which miniature is your absolute fav to game with?

This is a tough one - Pud Throwers - after having warwinds, chitins, warheads, strikes and banes eaten alive - the carnage keeps me in stitches for hours on end (if not days).

3) Which DA miniature embodies you as a person the most and why?

This is the statement that usually ends in a bar fight of some kind. The Drag Death's Device. A possible from their society because they don't have Foci they adapted to their own personal strengths dedicating themselves to the perfection of a single task. This is almost a Buddhist philosphy that I'm adapting myself.

(Now If I only I can a sword to go with it.)

Easiest: Bone Docs, mostly flesh with a few bandages/bones. It meant I got to concentrate on the body paint.

Hardest: A choc up between Coils and the decievingly difficult Saber.


Absolute Fave? That's a hard one. Probably the Skarrd Chics, either Toxic Mistresses or Harpies. These are tough to use but can be downright deadly when done correctly.


Model I relate to: Raze, because I'm a little person in a big person's body. I also can be pretty thickheaded.

[Kyle]

Most of this will be Skarrd related even though I have started painting Brood (and Demo figs) since Gen-Con.

The easiest Dark Age figure to paint so far excluding the puds would have to be the Drillheads.

The hardest was the old Warhead but when I do the new one that will be the new hardest. Unless I start doing Trueborns.

My favorite figures to use are the Harpies. They are fun to play and look really cute. I will admit to being VERY lucky with them against eveyone but Rizzen!

I am in fact the Fetish Bearer for obscure fluff related reasons. Fact is the early staff folks have personal figures. Yvonika was a real person.

Easiest to paint:
I would say the easiest to paint for me is the bone doc. he's smaller and it's really easy to get to every nook and cranny to paint him.

Hardest to paint:
I would have to say the female dragyri are the hardest to paint, their poses make it difficult to get certain spots with any level of intensity.

Favourite to game with:
ST. Mary, hands down. Who wouldn't like to game with a nail gun ???

Which Dark Age miniature embodies me as a person most and why?
Hmm, with a name like mine, is there any question? the Banger.. Although as I have painted stories of my banger, I am a big fan of hardcore westerns and gunslingers in general.

[Snotling]

hehe, nice questions ^^
I think, the hardest to paint are the dragyry. but it is allways a question of the quality. the armour and the weapons and theses krystals... and the Ice Elemental coulb be the easiest mini to paint, but it can also be the hardest, if you try to make the look realistic.
last night i painted my Bone Doc and i wouldn't agree that he's the easiest mini to paint, he has many small parts... this sucks ^^
Easiest to paint... hm... of course Puds and Broodlings, but they don't count ^^. A Skarrd Father is very easy, he has not many details an.. yep, that's all ^^. hm... but what shall i say, i only painted Skarrd so i hae nothing to compare.... maybe slaves are easy, too...

i like to play with a Raze... making Saw-noises when he slay the masses of enemies, har har! But much more that him i love my Bone Doc. he has many "spells" to choose and i quite flexible... and it is just cool to cast things like "Bone Wrack"... imagine you walk throught the desert and your leg breaks! i would be quite pissed, but it's not my leg which breaks

which embodies me the most?... hm... my Hoodoo has the same Hair Colours than me... the Bone Doc (#2) has the same body and i indentify myself with the Skarrd Fetish Bearer... i'm not a mutant, but i would do my best to become a worthy member of the skarrd society... without being food
