  1. Well, it doesn't seem that sloppy to me, @Epaka. I like it and it looks great on your tabletop. Neat scenery, by the way! I love what you've done with your barricades of spikes. Here's mine. I've painted it in April but didn't have a decent picture until now. So, thanks to you, it's done.
  2. From the album: The Shivering Hands

    A fresh picture of the Giant Snake, painted during April.
  3. Yes it is. I really loved the second one, but the French version is just awful. French-speakers MUST see that in English, with subtitle if necessary.
  4. Well, no idea for the difficult one. Out of the blue, I'll try Tideland (2005). If memory serves me right, there's something about a railroad, in that movie, and big, yellow, empty plains. The easy one is (and this time I'm one hundred percent pretty pretty sure) Crocodile Dundee (1986).
  5. Hi there! Just in case some of you don't know this yet, but the Feldherr website is selling foam trays for Conan retail, Barbarian, Stretch Goals, and expansions boxes. As the last one has been delivered to me today, I thought I would share some pics of these trays, and tell you a little about their advantages and inconveniences. Let's start with the Barbarian box: The Stretch Goals box: The pro: With these foams, you can store all of your miniatures, and most of the Conan add-on. (With the exception of the Dragon and Yogah of Yag, due to their large sizes.) The contra: As the foam trays use more space than the regular storage, you won't be able to close your boxes as you did before. On the picture below, I have removed the maps boards from the boxes and the foam still exceed the space in the boxes, especially for the Stretch Goals box. This aesthetic downside won't happen with the expansions, though, except for Kithaï, due to the second map of the Tower, but it will be very, very faint: For the three expansion, you get exactly the same foam tray. The pro: same as for the King Pledge boxes, your miniatures are well protected, and you have empty space to store extra miniatures from the add-on or from elswhere (in my case, I store barricades miniatures and plan to store civilian miniatures there. A great thing is that you can store Yogah of Yag in Stygia or in Kithaï. I fear that you cannot store the dragon, but as I don't own it, it is difficult for me to be sure. The contra: For me, there are none. I even managed to keep one of the original cardboard boxes of the miniatures from one of the expansion, in order to store there the six maps from the King Pledge. It costed me around 95 €, without the shipping fee from Germany to Switzerland, to purchase all the foam trays I needed. It's quite expensive. But if you plan, as I do, to paint all your miniatures, I'm pretty sure you want them to be secured from friction which could damage your painting. And as one single painted mini is often hours of work, I think it's worth the price. If you play with unpainted miniatures, I guess the plastic trays used by Monolith are good enough.
  6. Damn! I was sure that the This, is a knife. scene was from the second opus.
  7. First one is Crocodile Dundee II. Second one may be The Walkabout.
  8. As usual, only the first correct answer gives points, so it's @Footballzs' turn. Stay tuned, @Skull Face: you'll get the next ones!
  9. @Skull Face Damn! I knew I've seen that couple somewhere! Wasn't that movie in colors, though?
  10. You're right for the easy movie. Although you spot the right actor (and director), you're mistaken about the second movie: it's The Monster (1994), an Italian-French comedy It's your turn!
  11. One idea leading to another, here are two new movies to guess: Easy one: Difficult one:
  12. No idea for the first one, but I'd say that the second movie is Bound by the Wachowski broth... sisters.
  13. Yep, you're right. The easy movie is known in the US as The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi. It was directed in 2003 by Takeshi Kitano, well known for his modern yakuza motion pictures, such as Violent Cop, Sonatine, or Brother. The difficult movie is about the creation of art. The main character (played as usual by Kitano himself) is an unsuccessful painter. It's called Achilles and the Tortoise (2008). Your turn to play!
  14. I'll give you some clues, in order to help you. The first movie is a recent revival about a important character in chambarra (before this movie, 26 motion pictures were produced between 1962 and 1989 telling the adventures of that character). Both movie have the same director.
  15. Going on with Japanese motion pictures: Easy movie: Difficult movie:
  16. With the clue, I was able to understand what was the second movie, even if I haven't seen it. I've watched the trailer, and I think I'll give it a shot. That is, if that movie is Perfect Blue (1997).
  17. Regardless, to ease the way of counting points, I propose that the poster still decides what's easy and difficult for them when they choose two screenshots, so that we can keep the same system of points: one movie with 1 pt, one with 3 pts, and both giving 5 pts. Or do the players wish to change the system, and use instead something like: each movie is worth 2 pts, and guessing both movies gives 5 pts?
  18. And beside, The Monolith Monsters seems to be quite a fitting movie on a forum such as The Overlord. Anyway, @Stonewolf, it's your turn! *getting ready to answer*
  19. Yes it is. Gahjini with Amir Khan. This is something... else. Kinda funny to watch, in my opinion. It's your turn!
  20. The easy one isn't that easy, or is it? I think it is the kinda crappy Robot Monster (1953).
  21. Three points for Footballzs. You were close to get points, Bawon! Keep tuned!
  22. Here I go: Easy movie: Difficult movie: Or maybe it's the other way around. With Footballzs, it's sometimes hard to say. :P
