Re: Kickstarter - Ogre Miniatures Set 1
I'm going for DAK Tan for Paneuro and Dark Olive Green for the Combine. Ogres will be many and varied, but no "sparkly pink." Sorry, I don't think jokes get funnier the more they're repeated.

Re: Kickstarter - Ogre Miniatures Set 1
Saw a dotted cammo pattern once at Historicon on a very small WWI fighter. Asked the guy how he did it - the spots were TINY.
He said he held up a spray paint can high and caused a "rain" to fall on the already primed and base-colored minis. He did two cans at the same time so the two dot colors weren't an under and over look. Would work well for small minis, esp if you are going all flecktarny. |

If you want to show what the tankers see in their HUDs and what's on the big screen in the command post then high-contrast red and blue (and pink I guess) are fine. Privileged units like ogres might get to pick their icons. It'd be easy to play a game with those pieces. |

Re: Kickstarter - Ogre Miniatures Set 1
ATM, we're getting four distinct colors, so I'm thinking of leaving them the base color of the molded plastic (no priming!), and then adding a second and/or third color for the camo pattern. I won't really be able to choose though until I actually have minis in hand, and can assess the actual molded colors. Who knows, they may look good with just a simple "grunge" wash.
Which, "Grunge" was what I called it back in the 1980's for use in my model trains. Fiebings black shoe dye for leather, heavily diluted in denatured alcohol. Mix a shade you like the look of, used quite thinned (a few drops per ounce). Wash on model, let dry. Done. Dirt and grease and everything in one pass. https://www.fiebing.com/shop/?item=42586 Another option is "Rust". "Rainbow" brand dry cement pigment powder in one of their reddish shades (terra cotta, bright red, a blended color you like, etc.). Mix dry powder in a baby food jar of denatured alcohol, and wash on. The pigment settles into crevasses and dries there. http://www.empireblended.com/enginee...entcolors.html Dull-Cote after done to seal. |

Please listen to the owners video on their home page, especially when he talks about "where a good social boardgame encourages communal interaction, a respite from the digital barrage that hits us all day long"... http://www.gametablecafe.com/ I suspect gaming Cafes such as this will become more popular and games like OGRE along with it. Boardgames are making a comeback despite the digital gaming and Imho, OGRE can help lead the charge by smashing through any barriers imagined or otherwise as only a OGRE can. I was in with a friend last September and brought enough of my copy of OGRE DE to play the official GEV ESCORT Scenario. (They don't have any OGRE games there atm). The owner stopped by and we talked about OGRE awhile. Told him this was the new OGRE DE Edition that did a Million Dollars in 2012, ect. ..said he played OGRE the MicroGame a lot when he was in College. Then I unofficially MIBed him and also mentioned the OGRE Pocket Edition. He was all like, oh, wow! I have to get that then. :) With the 6th Edition we will really begin to see new ground for OGRE taken because it can be carried under one arm and put on a shelf witout fear of it collapsing. ;) !!!...2017 is the year of the OGRE...!!!

Re: Kickstarter - Ogre Miniatures Set 1
There was some chatter during the KS campaign about wanting "craters".
Brief intro to explain: One thing I have been thinking about for a while since retirement was getting the various machines that my employer had, but in home hobbyist sizes. I had been a professional model builder, btw. So a milling machine, lathe, pedestal disc and belt sanders, saws, etc. I already owned a spin-caster and injection molder at retirement. Most of the machines were thus acquired. I had a search running on eBay for a specific model number machine, and finally got one cheap and nearly new. A vacuformer! Using it, I can now make my own craters, and will begin experimenting once I get some time. I should be able to make simple 3D ODE (or the traditional 2x minis scale) hex craters to drop onto the map, suitably painted for effect to go with the minis. Was also thinking of ways to use typical hardware store things to make laser towers, turrets, etc. for those who want those things. |
