Title: CURSE YOU WIZKIDS!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Spriggan on May 07, 2004, 01:02:43 PM

Ok I'm realy haveing too much fun with my mage knight stuff.  I haven't even played one game yet and I;ve been doing nothing but forming small armies.  Now I'm about to go out and buy some card stock and make some terrain.  http://www.wizkidsgames.com/mageknight/article.asp?frame=gameresources&cid=37135

I can get you a tone of this foam stuff to shape into terrain. BUt I'd make you pay to ship it. Since it's light, that probably wouldn't be an issue.

That would be cool.  Check some priceing and let me know will you?  Oh and if you need me to pay for a box too I can as well.

oh, i'm sure I can find a box. it's not like it has to be a nice one to protect foam. I'll build up a pile and then ship get a price on shipping. You want a ton, or just a modest amount? I mean, I'm just picking up the leavings, so there's no cost for the foam, it's just how quickly I can gather it together.

I don't know....umm.....I would say large shoe box size sounds good.  There's no hurry, but if it's realy pricey (like $10) let me know before you send it, if not just mail it with the total price and your address and I'll send you a check.

You know, I got some of that self-drying clay. It works really well, can hold a lot of detail, and is cheap.

I'm not sure what I'd actualy do with the clay.

you sculpt clay and build stuff with it. It's one of the oldest art mediums. Even Neanderthal could use the stuff to make props for their MK figures.

Well after 5 hours of cutting yesterday and about 2 hours today I got all but 4 things made.  Those stupid 3D bridges (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/mageknight/images/MKTerrain18.JPG) took more time then any of the others.  Now I just have to use them. :P  Maybe when Fell's in town eh?

I've been invited to goto a mage Knight sealed booster tourny next Saturday at games people play.  I'm going to go but I've never actualy played a game before.  I've only played "Solitare" games against myself.  So it'll be intresting to say the least.

When you ship styrofoam, what do you pack it in?

It's styrafoam, how much protection should it need?  I mean, they use this stuff the protect OTHER things...

Nice bridge.  I once spent an entire summer making terrain for 40k.  I, unfortunately, never managed to actually paint my Tyranids due to lack of black paint and lack of money to buy it...

Thank you captain obvious. Do you think the horse is dead now? Or should I whip it a few more times?

I don't know.  A few good whips to make sure it can't move may be a good idea.  You never know, those demon horses can be quite a handful...
