Got my English copy of BoP. Not sure what to do with the 10 MKIII SM that I won't be using in my projects. Might trade or sell them.

Picked up my copy of BoP as well at the FGS about 45 minutes away.

Also ran three gamers through the first trial of the new Warhammer Quest and they all got their characters killed. Hoping to visit the store a couple times each month now that I have an idea when folks are out and about there.

More Weird War stuff; finally getting around to starting some SS to go along with my regular Heer. It'll be a leap if anyone can source the donor kits (my crappy paintjob aside).

Arms are either from Warlord or Wargames Factory, so spindly!

Probably more accurate to say: "So What are you doing hobbywise for most of the past week?"

The answer?

Many, many, many, many spaceships. Specifically, 1 Battlecruiser, 2 Light Cruisers, 2 Troop Carriers, 2 Heavy Cruisers, 4 cruisers, 6 Strike Carriers, 4 Escort Carriers, 2 Support Frigates and 8 Combat Frigates...

Warlord?! Hah, nah, Warlord's are twice the thickness of those. I use them to represent guys in padded Winter coats.

Painting a squad of 15mm Spetznas for GRUNTZ. The BEST sci fi game out there.

While listening to some DECENDENTS.

We should start a "what are you listening to while painting, thread.

Gave my crew for Pulp Alley a ride, no expense spared here.



Tamiya 10hp truck kit, needs a bit of lighter weathering still but more or less finished

I finished up my Swedish starter set for By Fire and Sword.

Continueing to clean up 1500+ points of Hungarians for FoW.

Can't help with the arms or head, but the torso and legs is from the Mantic Games Corporation Marine kit. (Those are old, and finding them is getting progressively harder.)

Head's from Dust, and the arms are Wargames Factory. I think everything there's either OOP or soon to be OOP.

I didn't know that Mantic stuff was hard to get. I've had that set unbuilt for years after being given it for free, but others have commented about a difficulty in sourcing it. :/

More Alt-History stuff as usual is what's sitting on my painting table. Whilst I ponder on how to turn a Tiger II into an APC for some power armoured soldiers, I remember that most of the countries in that war were lucky to outfit their guys with civilian trucks or horses...



Rubicon Opel Blitz + plasticard armour.

I'm making a tourney list that is scaring even me, my friends and I planned a TINY tourney( the point is battles in under 30 mins) so I quickly tried to find the most OP list I could ( don't hate, that was also agreed upon, we want to see the cheesiest cheese that matt ward can deliver) so I found skitaari vanguard gave the best damage, I built a quick 500 point list and tried it out against a few of my other possible lists so far W6 L0 D0 and in those 6 wins, 5 tablings, I went WTF and tried it out against a 800 point space marine flying building list, smashed it, tried it out against a proxy OF 100 PRIMARIES PSYKERS IN DIFFERENT UNITS!!!, beat it too, please help what have I done?!!?

Received parcel with second or third hand Orks and Gretchin from pretre today. Recommended trader.

Cheers,

CB

I just played in a local ITC tournament today. 14 players showed up, although two of them dropped out after 2 rounds for different reasons. I went 2-1, which is good for me (I'm usually 1-2). I ran Dark Angels with Ultramarines allies, and my opponents were Genestealer Cult, Raven Guard Marines, and Orks. The GSC kicked the crap out of me, I soundly beat the Raven Guard, and my closest game was against the Orks, whom I beat mostly by sweeping them a blob at a time with my RWCS deathstar. I usually struggle against Orks (oddly enough), especially with my Dark Angels, but with the help of some very lucky dice rolling I came out on top.

Primed 4 bases of UCM Mortars.

Working on a test TSons mini. The spiritstone red is working better on the marine than I thought.

Restarted painting Venethrax. One of the best Cryx casters besides Deneghra1.

I'm playing on an Armada casual tournament today. Played two out of 3 games so far, won them both. Basically because people keep on giving the Liberty advanced gunnery

Some older school gaming



(This was basically the game that introduced me to wargaming)

Started building BoP. Gonna paint up Fell Hand and give him to the game store to use as a prize for...whatever the owner wants. Hate space wolves, so the imperial half will be Imp Fists. Gonna use my Sigismund model with Fell Hands rules to play. The rest will stay as is.

Built Fell Hand and Ahriman.
Looking forward to picking up Blood Bowl next weekend.

Today I'll be complaining to my friends about GW re-releasing the Diaz Daemonettes this passed weekend and devaluing my collection by a few hundred dollars.

All the positive things that GW has done lately had gained much respect from myself. Now I'm back to square one and I hope the company fails and the building burns down with everyone in it.

Finished off painting a third Harlequin, so now I have one red, one blue, and one green. I think the next one will be purple, but before I can get to work on that, I am goin to try to get through my entry for the Painting Competition - a Blood Angels Terminator Captain.

(How can the rest of you get so much hobbying done? I feel like I'm over here twiddling my thumbs to only be finishing one infantry model every week or so; while I see people finishing off tanks in a few days left and right on here.)

Sorry for your loss, but can you appreciate the happiness of all those who are not going to be gouged buying oop models ?

I can't wait for them to completely shatter the price on the metal Eldar Bone Singer.

Just finished painting my kitbashed UCM corvettes for Dropfleet and I may get time to finish off the rest of the fleet tonight.

Painting some Guardians of the Covenant

Dammit... I had not thought that might happen. They are doing the recasts in metal though, right?

The gaming mat I won for coming second in a Star Wars Armada tournament yesterday. - It was so big that, since my gaming board isn't set up, the only place I could lay it out full was on my bed!



I also picked up an X-Wing Squadron, Leading Shots, Admiral Ackbar and MC80 Assault Cruiser alternate artwork cards. There had been a couple of tournament kits gathering dust, so first and second place got plenty of things to go home with them. - And the rest of the players too!

Using the Gangfight Skirmish rules to finally wrap up some ancient fantasy skirmish projects this holiday weekend. Rebase a bunch of Warhammer Orcs languishing from years past (several, several years- it has the plastic Orc Arrer Boyz from about 4 editions ago in it !) for a warband and give them the final touches on paintjobs, and maybe base/basecoat a dozen or so Skaven models for another warband that have been sitting on my to-do list since I made a run on the Toledo Bitz guy's awesome giant bins at Gencon both this past summer and the one before that.

Probably assemble a box of 5 Stormcast Liberators with various weapon loadouts for the same purpose as the above- if they arrive before Thanksgiving.
