I Forgot the Recipe!

The discerning reader... scratch that.

You may have noticed... scratch that, too.

It's time for me to admit to you, the audience... scratch that.  Crap.

Okay, let's try one more time.

I FORGOT THE RECIPE FOR BROTHERHOOD GOLD!

(There, I said it.  Darn it all.)




Here's the deal, I haven't published new painting pics for the Brotherhood 'cause there hasn't been any.  I've spent the last two months trying to remember the recipe.

Remember that Top Tips where I said, "Oh, ye foolish infant, ye must needs write thine recipes upon the tool'd leather of sheep or mutant."

Yea, didn't do that.

Remember those two skull-headed dudes I did not too long ago?

A test.

Them and about ten more.  Then it occurred to me, just the other day...

Test Model # 'Freakin' Finally'

"Where's the step where I add the gold?"

...

Regardless, I finally worked out the steps.  The model you see here is the result.  I breathed a sigh of relief.

Less than three weeks 'till Wargames Con.

*sigh*

PS:  I wrote down the recipe.

I write them down then forget where I wrote them... maybe I need to write a note reminding me where I wrote the note reminding what the recipe is?

I'm all too familiar with that frustration. I'm glad you figured the recipe out, cause it's a good one and a cool scheme

Undercoat, Drybrush, Wash.....See I never forget my recipe ;-)

Of course your models are a lot prettier than mine...

I keep a small spiral notebook in my paint case where I write these things down. I also write the technique and thinning ratio I used to apply a given color.

An entry might read:
Silver Power Armor
Airbursh Boltgun metal 1:2
Wash Badab Black
Wetbrush Boltgun Metal 1:1
Wetbrush Chainmail 1:1

Oh I wouldn't necessarily try that recipe...

Heh, it's true, I forget my stuff all the time. Generally though, it's not TOO complex, and I figure it out quick enough. Should be fun to see what kind of awesomeness you accomplish at BoLSCON while I flounder around with my yet-untested DEldar. :-p

MasterSlowPoke said...

So, uh, what's the recipe?

Jonathan Boynton said...

Very nice looking. You might have a few too many paints, if the recipe is that complicated.

Flekkzo said...

Blog about it when you are done painting and include the recipe. That way there is no note to misplace, and it's documented. As a bonus we get to see it too:)

I need to remember the recipe for my Beastmens flesh tones. I've forgotten it 3 times now but I too think I'll do the obvious and write it down...

My tyranids are easy, Bleach bone, Ogryn wash, ogryn wash, Black carapace, done.

(A new favorite!) Anon: I haven’t even bothered playing a game of 6th yet, cause I have read the rules, and actually understand how they interact with units. I know my armies no longer function how they should, and so I need to change them.

Strictly Average: 'cause 6-inches is all you get.

Jawaballs: "My butt just tightened up."

Brent, preferred 2-to-1 over Not Brent in a recent, scientific poll.

Unicorns don't exist.

Home of the Stormbuster, the Dyson Pattern Storm Raven.

I'm a comment whore and this whore is getting no play.

Not Brent hurts Brent's feelings.

I think, therefore I blog.

"You should stop writing for everyone else and worry about your crappy blog." - Anon.

Not Brent has been spotted lurking around with a green marker.

He's not like a bad guy from a cartoon, all devious but never quite evil, Not Brent is bad beans, man, bad beans.

Dethtron: "Again I feel obliged to remind you that trying to sound smart only works if you are."

MVB: "I am not one to join the unwashed masses of self-titled 40k experts out there distributing advice from their blogs about exactly how your list should be built..."

Shiner Bock on tap: that's how I choose hotels.

Don't feed the trolls!

MoD: "Welcome to Brent's head."

Dethtron: "...you could use that extra time to figure out a way to get your panties unbunched and perform a sandectomy on your vagina."

Dethtron: “When calling someone an idiot, it's generally best to avoid making grammatical mistakes.”

Warboss Stalin: "You know, if it actually WAS funny, maybe I wouldn't mind."

Mike Brandt: "It's not a successful bachelor party if you don't misplace someone".

Captain Kellen: "I rate this article a Brent on the Faith Hill to Nancy Pelosi scale!"

Drathmere: "Come for the balls, stay for the Brent? Kind of disturbing, man."

Go no further, lest thee see something thine eyes would fain look past!

Isabelle: "So, thank you for supporting your local and not so local unicorns. A noble gesture like that can show some scared kids out there that they don't have to hide from everyone and it's ok to be who they really are."

There is nothing more interesting than We The People... in all our beautiful, ugly glory!

On Internet Advice: You see, I have an almost religious belief that's it's a huge, colossal waste of time.

...I think I'll call it the Gun Shy Pattern Stormbuster, because after the Internet destroyed my first humble effort, I find I'm a bit worried about the reaction to this one.

Lauby: "Is it left over from that time you thought that you could just complete step one 12 times to meet the mandates of that court order?"

Not Brent: "I guess we'll have to read on and find out. Signed, Not Brent. Especially today."

Cynthia Davis: "I think the scrolling text is from Glen Beck's new book."

Grimaldi: "Spamming certain units creates interesting possibilities but also fatal weaknesses."

Purgatus: "Math can inform decisions. It cannot make decisions."

Thoughts? Comments? Hugs and gropings?

You'd be that much quicker to figure out what I mean when I refer to a Unicorn if I covered it in a rainbow flag.

SinSynn: (To Brent) "Curse you and your insidious influence on the internets..."

Dave G (N++): "You know you're an internet celebrity when your following is more akin to tabloids."

I prefer the term Internet Personality (or IP) myself, seeing as how I coined it.

Lauby: "Your attempt to humanize him as failed. I feel nothing but scorn for his beard - it's like a warcrime or something."

BBF: "I've always thought you are a good player but I finally figured out that you are a great player. It's hard to see sometimes because your personality is engaging, sincere and quite charming - to me that is kind of a rare combination."

'Clearly cheating?' I didn't misspeak: you jumped to conclusions. If you'd like to apologize I'll be happy to send you an autographed picture of my ass.

Ass.

I thought I was doing alright before I realized I was losing.

Age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time.
