ChenZhen project log : Orange Block Dice!

[ChenZhen]

Finished the trike. Working on the driver now. This is the first go at freehand numbers. I figured the trike would be easier than shoulder pads to start.

Will try to get a good trike and team shot on a real non-phone camera when this is all finished, but this is what I have for now.

I think it looks awesome! If you used that against me I'd even give you +1 MA because it looks pretty fast to me!

As an aside, the seat looks really comfy too!

[ChenZhen]

FINALLY!

Helga's Hammers!

Very nice job. It fits in beautifully.

[ChenZhen]

Norse & Neil- Thanks much!

Here are the star player conversions for the team.

Barik Farblast, Boomer Eziasson, Flint Churnblade, non conversion Grim Ironjaw, and Zara the Slayer.

I know that Zara is a human, but I really wanted an excuse to use this mini. One of my favorite that GW ever made (and I had 2 in my box o'dwarves)!

That front wheel looks dangerously close to his .......... NUTS!!!

I would not want to ride that bike.

The driver has got balls of steel err... gromril.

Reminds me of this scene from *shudders* Ghost Rider 2.

That front wheel looks dangerously close to his .......... NUTS!!!

I would not want to ride that bike.

Nor would I! I spun the wheel before I glued it in place to make sure it had clearance. I started to add a protective cover, but I like the semi suicidal feel to a crazed maniac riding inches away from death.

It also feels more "realistic" to me. I played with a death roller in cyanide game. It always felt ridiculous when I failed a GFI or skilled out on dice (really, that guy punched the steamroller... and won?!?). However, on this one I totally can see it!

@Inkpwn: that clip was hilarious...especially when they use the words "best" and "clips" (plural) in the description of Ghost Rider 2!

No painting update, but I did get to play my first table top game of BB!

I had a blast. I really enjoy playing with minis that I have painted, and it was fun to do some gaming "in real life" rather than just on computer. Had fun, got a better handle on the rules, and I'm excited for more!

[ChenZhen]

Quick update. I recently played in the 3 Die Brawl tournament in Iowa City, Iowa. It was a really good time! I went down with my brother-in-law. We had both played Cyanide and Fumbbl, but we had very limited table top experience before heading down. Our combined table top play experience consisted of 3 turns we played against each other the night before heading down, and one full game I had played against a different friend.

I ended up with 3 shutout wins and 1 loss (2-1) to the tournament champ, and won the best defense award.

These were the Turn, Score, Re-Roll, and Bribe counters that I painted up.

I had been working on (but did not finish in time) a dugout/display board for the team. Full team shots when I complete that.

*Heff, look away now for your own good*

The Team build that I went with

6 Blockers all w/Guard
2 Blitzers
2 Runners
1 Deathroller
2 Re-rolls
1 Bribe

We also are starting a Twin Cities League August 31st, so I should be playing on a more regular basis. Hopefully this also means I will be painting on a more regular basis!

[Axtklinge]

Congrats for the tournament result!
"Best defense" is a very "dwarvish" award to conquer!



Can't way to see that dugout!

[Sir-Skofis]

Congrats in your results!

The dwarf team looks great and the counters are quite nice too.

I'm looking forward to see the team in the display board

[ChenZhen]

Here is the finished dugout.

Some things worked out, others didn't. I like the combo display stand / dugout idea, and I think I may try it again.
