Cheeky Chaos Dwarfs
These took way longer than I would have liked. Work and illness just chewed up free time and so these sat as an open thread longer than I’d have liked.
Something I tried with them, that I think was effective, was to use purple wash on the green and green wash on the purple. I feel like that ratchet up the animated feel of the terrain.
… is complete. Exhausting. Work and illness meant it took like 3 weeks to finish it.
I’ve got a tub of magnets. They’re random, from God only knows where. I don’t know their sizes, strengths, or what to do if I need more of a particular kind.
So, a couple of years ago, I broke out the calipers, did some planning and (most importantly) took notes. Now, I keep these magnets in a tacklebox, separated and labeled, with appropriately wide drill bits.
All of these are sourced from Amazing Magnets. you can probably get the same sizes from other vendors like K&J Magnetics, but I vastly prefer AM because they list sizes in both metric and, where they list Imperial sizes they use decimals instead of fractions. So: these are the AM item codes.
(Let me take a moment to express the hate I feel for defaulting to fractional Imperial measurements for this shit. Fuck off with this 1/32″ shit.)
If it’s useful, here’s my chart:
| Code | Diameter | Thickness | use |
|---|---|---|---|
| R094-094 | 2.38mm | 2.38mm | Small plastic bases |
| D032A-N52 | 3.18mm | 0.79mm | Warmaster bases |
| D094A1 | 3.97mm | 2.38mm | GW Bases |
| D063A1 | 3.97mm | 0.97mm | Padding for D094A1 |
| D032A1 | 3.97mm | 1.59mm | Padding for D094A1 |
| D063A2-N45 | 4.76mm | 1.59mm | Infinity bases |
I also have some magnets that are perfect for the hole in Necromunda bases, but somehow I failed to correctly note them. My notes say “D063A” but that’s not right: those are 3.18mm wide but the magnets I have are 2.9mm wide.
Small, light minis will get R094-094s. Most of my minis get D094A1s, which are just the right depth for GW bases, and I supplement them with D063A1s (which are ~1mm deep) and D032A1s (which are ~1.5mm deep) to help get the needed depth if ~2.4mm isn’t deep enough.
Haven’t had a minute for hobby until now. I energy, little burnt in MOTU:B terrain. So: Heresy prep
For some reason, I thought I’d deleted my Blogger blogs back when Google perfidiously killed Reader and it became clear that they weren’t not going to be evil any more and should not be relied on any more than absolutely necessary.
Must not have, because I got this last week
The post in question?
:sigh:
I guess I need to just delete the dang thing.
