Hello all, 

 

We currently have no one to fill the role of Quisitor for all of September.  So, we are looking for a new Quisitor to pose the questions next month.  Please PM me if you would like to give it a shot.

 

 

And we have coverage for the rest of the year!  @TGP will take September, @Crowley will take October, and @MusicalFeline will join the Quisitorial ranks as backup.

 

Thanks everyone.

Substitute Query for today, 28 August, 2020: If you had Reaper’s frigate, and you could afford to commission this: What custom figurehead would you have someone create for your ship?

Something mechanical, like a steam powered dragon head.....

Final Query For August: (A Highlander Dilemma, “there can be only one“ ......choice), Would you rather have more minis or more paint ??   O.o

 

Tough call.  I'll also sidestep by noting there is no restriction on buying filament or resin.....so I'll pick MOAR Paint!!!

That's not fair! Don't make me choose between my babies! ::P:

 

Seriously, it would be more paint. I can draw basic pawns for use in gaming and there's a tiny chance that given enough time I might be able to sculpt something that doesn't look like a shapeless blob, but paint creation is alchemy in its purest form. Art I at least understand, but alchemy is way, way beyond my abilities.

I find that image of Benedict Cumberbatch crawling around like a year-2001 Britney Spears to be more disturbing. That's going to haunt my dreams... and not in the cool way.

 

 

My work here is done :ph34r:

Easy, more minis. I could use the same approximately 12 colors for the rest of painting forever. Or if we are assuming that I am stuck with just the paint I currently own and can't ever get another bottle, yeah I'm fine with that too. I have a lot of paint.

Minis. You can still use unpainted miniatures in a game, but using unminiatured paint will NOT work out very well.

I want to say minis, but I'll need more paint to be able to paint all the minis I already own... and I just got 20 more in the mail.

 

Actually 20, not just goblin 20.

*Checks calendar*

 

Wait... It's supposed to go past October, right? Or is that it. 2020 ends with Halloween?

Paint.

 

I've got enough minis to last me roughly twenty years, but my paint will run out long before then.

That plan works for me. The Romans used to start their year approximately at the end of February so there’s no reason we couldn’t  start a year two months early...

 

 Quintilis (5), Sextilis (6), September (7), October (8), November (9), and December (10). <== Those are the ancient Roman names of the months. All number based. Compare with the Latin Number derived words: Quintuple, Sextant, Septuagint, Octagon, Nonagenarian, and Decimal.

More minis. I just ordered a bunch of paint and my racks are completely full. 

 

Thanks for the question this month folks.

I'm young enough that I'll run out of both if I don't buy more.

 

It's like you're implying that we're all old here or something...

Him? A bad guy?

But he's just a poorly misunderstood soul who lost the love of his life!

Okay, there was the occasional killing and such, but can we really blame him?

 

 

What's interesting is the same could be said for both of my picks... hmmm.
