MESBG Mordor Battlehost - Verified US Painters only!

Good Evening!

I'm back with another painting opportunity! As always US verified painters only on this one please!

What: Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Mordor Battlehost

  • 32 Figures total
  • 1 Witch King on horseback
  • 1 Witch King on foot
  • 6 Warg Riders
  • 24 Orcs with mixed weapons

How: I'd like these painted to Tabletop standard. The figures are still on sprue and will need to be assembled. These are the older models so I believe a decent percentage of them are basically monopose models. But regardless, assembly will be required. Basing as well. Justa neutral muddy ground with some static grass or flock. Black Base rims please.

When: I'd like to get these back by the end of November if possible, as it's a fairly simple request.

So pretty bog standard request really.

MESBG - Battle of Rohan Box - US PAINTERS ONLY

Good Evening!

I'm back again with another batch of things to get painted! You'd think at some point I'd stop buying this stuff! Oh well, my addiction is your cash!

This time we have a Games Workshop, Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game - Rohan, Battle of Edoras Army Box. It's basically two small armies in one box. You get a small unit (24 models) of Rohan Warriors and two Champions (on foot and mounted for each). and roughly the same for the Hill Tribesmen (24 models, 2 characters, foot and mounted for both). So 56 figures total. In addition there are two Rohan Houses with some accessories and fences. Yay Terrain!

Summary:

  • 24 Rohan Warriors on foot
  • 2 Foot characters
  • 2 Mounted characters
  • 24 Hilltribe Warriors on foot
  • 2 Foot characters
  • 2 Mounted characters
  • 2 Rohan buildings.
  • Some fences.
  • Some other random shit that someone at GW said "lol let's put this in the box and see if anyone paints it!"

Assembly: This box is completely unassembled. These are fairly simple to assemble, but not quite as simple as past GW MESBG models. I'd say they're about average though.

Paint Level: I'm looking for tabletop plus. These guys should look good on the table. When folks pick them up and look at them, they go "That's a solid paint job" and put them back down. I don't want them to be so hideously offended they smash the model to the floor. They need to look "nice". Not super hot. Not ugly. NICE. And basically the generic color scheme from the movies. Green for the Rohirrim guys, and "I'm so poor I can't afford much color" for the hilltribes men. Yes I realize that National Geographic has shown us tons of poor tribesmen in darkest africa with more color than you can shake a can of spray paint at, but these guys are NOT fashion forward. They're simple folk. The common clay of the hinterlands. You know... morons.

Basing: Yes they need basing. I'd like a nice dark earth with some drybrushing and some flock or static grass on them. Dealers choice really. Black base rims.

Project Timeline: I'd like these back by November please.

Ok, that's it! Any takers!?

Mantic Epic Warpath - The Plague - US PAINTERS ONLY

Good Evening!

I'm back again with another batch of things to get painted! You'd think at some point I'd stop buying this stuff! Oh well, my addiction is your cash!

This time we have a Mantic Warpath - The Plague army. Think of these guys as kind of genetically engineered Not-Nurgle. The army consists of basically the following. The names probably aren't accurate, but it'll get the point across. Oh, and each "stand count" includes how many tiny figures are on each 25/30mm base.

  • 24 Troop stands (4 figures)
  • 18 Troops with no guns (4 figures)
  • 6 Command stands (2 figures)
  • 6 Big guys (2 figures)
  • 6 Bigger Guys (2 figures)
  • 6 Fancy Guys with Guns (4 figures)
  • 6 Mortars (2 figures and a mortar)
  • 3 Gunner Mechs (1 figure)
  • 3 H2H Mechs (1 figure)
  • 12 Combat Trucks
  • 6 Artillery Pieces
  • 3 Tanks
  • 3 APCs
  • 6 Fliers (technically 2 different types, but hey)
  • 5 Bigger monstrosity types (1 figure)
  • 1 Massive Plague Colossus Beastie. (Massive for this game, but not huge)

Basically boils down to about 82 small trooper stands - 2/4/1 figures on a 25mm-ish base, 30 small vehicles (about the same size), and the Plague Colossus (on about an 80mm base). Also, I should point out that the vehicles in the photo are on bases for some reason, but mine are not. There weren't any included and honestly those dinky bases on those vehicles seem very weird looking. So no basing on the vehicles!!

Level: I'm looking for the same paint job as the attached pictures, but just contrast only. I'm not looking to have these guys be super detailed. On some models that looks like as few as three colors. On the most complex models it's probably as many as five max. Fairly simple paint job overall. Basing I want a simple dark texture paste with some light drybrushing (probably dark earth colored) and some very small patches of some sort of flocking. Kind of a mix of earth and grass. Obviously these bases are not huge. so not a lot of room for much anyway.

Assembly: Everything is fully assembled and magnetized. So no need to do anything like that.

Who can apply? US PAINTERS ONLY. VERIFIED PAINTERS ONLY. LEFT HANDED PAINTERS ONLY! (I'm kidding on that last part. But if you are left handed... got any videos of you painting? Is it funny looking?)

Project Timeline: I've never played this game. Also my gaming group is incredibly flighty and change games like once every 12 and a half minutes. In fact the best proof that they're never going to play something is if I buy in and get my stuff painted. So I am NOT in a super hurry for these. That being said, this paint job is dead simple. So I'd like them back by the end of September-ish.

Who can apply? Anyone that's done a job for me and NOT currently working on one. Anyone that hasn't done a job for me and that is a verified painter. Not sure picky, just a little picky.

Also, more jobs will be coming! Why? I don't know. I have a sickness or something. I need help. HELP BUYING SOME MORE MODELS! YEAH BABY!

But seriously... help.

Ork Skin - recipes please!

Good Evening!

I have some isengard orcs and warg riders I need to paint. What colors do folks use on the skins for these guys? I know MESBG orcs aren't the typical green skins... I've seen grey, browns, reds, fleshy, and other color schemes... anyone got some good ones that are fairly easy to do? Bonus points if they use contrast paints! :)

Primary vs Secondary Question

Does it matter what "slot" the class is in? I.e. is there any difference in a PAL/SHM and a SHM/PAL? I don't think there is, but I want to make sure.

Download link?

Just bought the game and am wondering where you download the actual client from? Is this available now or do we have to wait until the 28th (july) to download?

OpenShift cluster requirements

Good morning,

I'm trying to find some information about OpenShift's cluster requirements. Everything I read says you need 3 master/control nodes and 2 worker nodes. By default the worker nodes are the only things configured to host VMs. Then I read someone saying that your master nodes could be VMs.

Is this true? If so can you actually have a "two node cluster" made up of worker nodes hosting the three master nodes virtually?

We're about to evaluate RedHat as a VMWare replacement and really need to figure out cluster sizing.
