The club is meeting at a FLGS. We've gotten permission to do a little swap meet among our members.

Afterwards we'll be continuing our summer "Song of Blades and Heroes" Campaign. Two members have gotten together to organize a multiplayer scenario so it should be fun.

I am slowly building a swamp board for gaming.

figuring out how to manage 9 player characters in a dnd campaing and staring at an unpainted landraider. Feth.

Just went ahead and assembled a Mawloc. It's a really fun kit to build, my second time and it's thoughtfully made and fits together really well. I now officially have more built models than painted - something I wanted to avoid this year.

Today I will, once again, push myself to clean mould lines and prime. The 15 angry genestealers staring at me across the table will not wait any longer!
I also need to spray-varnish some 'gants.

Another grot done 6 more days and my squad will be done.

Today was another club day. I had my first victorious battle with the new Space Marines codex, as well as my first use of the ability to reroll saves versus flamers, which came in with a bang by converting the total destruction of a combat squad to a completely unharmed one. Nonetheless, an immensely satisfying game due to the fact that it was nail-bitingly close. (And I won, which always adds a little sugar to the sauce.)

Poured a little more of my heart and soul into my ADL. First time using oil base paints and mineral spirits to make my own wash.. was very satisfied with it. Pics soon as I finish more this weekend!

Started painting my FOR.

Its going to take ages :(

Buy spraypaint- Done
Have a chat with a mate for a bit before he goes on holiday- Done
Give some TLC and headswaps to some poorly assembled carnifexes
Assemble a Pyrovore
Work on some more Tyranid terrain- Done
Prime everything!!!!- Done Terrain, Fexes+Pyrovore still to do.
Maybe make a start painting the terrain if there's time.

I gave in to mould lines, and I'll be painting more of my Dreadball Forge Fathers team for tomorrow.
A pity I've got to go to a family do tonight, when they're only half-done

I really need to put the finishing touches on my Spawning Vessel crew, they've been staring at me angrily for the past week...

Finishing off 6 Nurgling bases.

Drag out the camera and take some pictures, to update my P&M blog.
Update said blog
Continue to clean and assemble honor guard, bikers
Pick the next 4 guys to paint, start.

My goal is to do 4 guys a week, to keep my pace up. I just finished some old Battle of Macragge marines, and need to decide if I'm going with some old metal terminators that have been sitting on the bench forever, or some newer assault marines. The assaults might need to step back from the paint bench to get some magnets put in their backpacks. I was never a fan of drop pod insertion for them, but it might be viable these days.

I hear a Jaques of Martinique is kicking some tail in your campaign!

Building the one of the new Tac squads from GW and hopefully reserving one of the new HH books for GD.

I picke dup the Dystopian Wars rules, and some of the Zeppelins for playing Aeronautica Imperialis.

I have an AI game set-up for this weekend.

Yeah, we have a member who is using him as their leader. He's got the best record in the club. I haven't updated the rankings in a while, but it's possible the only games he hasn't won have been multiplayer games and scenarios involving his warband vs a NPC warband.

Painting a forgefiend!

Painting my OK Pirate Man Eater and bulls.

In about 3 hours our gaming group will be starting our full-on narrative campaign weekend. Had some frantic painting days this week... and didn't finish all I had planned.

The only loss I have is the damn caravan scenario! I have been EXTREMEMLY lucky. However, I sat out the last couple of games, so I may be a little behind now.

Pondering how to turn my basement in the ultimate man cave... Plus basing and painting my ork army...

Going to work out my lists of purchases for my Rapid Fire Italian Alpini regiment

Cleaning a space off at work, and them going to prime some dreadball and dreadfleet, hopefully. If not today, it will be getting done tomorrow.

Kill off five of them. Tell them to go play their own game. 8 people is a lot of people to wait though for a turn to do stuff.

Lol. Well we had our first game today. 2 of the 3 newbies (Like, they don't know anything about the game) didn't show up and the people I thought would , lets say, not be any good, wrote amazing backgrounds, and played well. Oh yeah, and every eighteen year old in the group with a job managed to get his shift covered and I even got a ride home! So seven players is manageable enough, considering we are starting from level one and there is tonnes of wiggle room.


Anyway, primed my raider, and am finishing off painting a suit of TDA.

Today I played Killteam games with my friends at 200 points. I went 1 and 1.

Tomorrow, I am practicing painting black armour on some Dark Angels.

I am painting up my Infinity and Dust miniatures. Later today I might paint some of my Night Goblins and Chaos Space Marines.

I'm setting up a gaming space in the basement, Driving out to buy more reaper bones, and setting up figs.
