I havedn't tried drybrushing etc at work but I have done blacklining at my
desk, and I'm working on a TO for Hudak's Hooligans (a flamethrower in every
squad...)

You won't believe what I have here... frankly, neither do I. Think 'small
child let loose in sweetshop' and you'll start to get the idea

Tony's boss: "Tony, we've got a tough one for you. We want you to write a game
of futuristic ground combat, aimed at a brighter audience than the Warhammer
crowd." Tony: "Gee, that sounds pretty eas^h^h^h...tough." TB: "We want it to
be kind of turn based, kind of simultaneous movement. Lord knows how you're
going to solve that, but we're counting on you." Tony: "Kind of an integrated
turn sequence, so to speak? Alternating activations within a turn?" TB:
"Exactly! Brilliant. And we need for you to design models for the tanks and
infantry. Now, we may even go so far as to have some sort of metal playing
pieces licensed, so you'll need to find out what kinds of things not only look
good on a screen, but can also be cast."
Tony: "Well sir, I've got a pretty--"
TB: "Pretty full plate, I know, but we're relying on you. We've hired a
masseuse to help you deal with the stress...and of course there's a major
bonus if you can pull this off."

Well, pretty close.... but saying too much would be giving the game away!
You'll just have to wait.

Tony

ps - I can however confirm that the masseuse has already been mentioned
... just don't tell 'er indoors!
