Leaving on a jet plane...

Squigs!!!

They pass through security without issues.

Interesting....

Kubla Bound!

After a slight detour for potty (I have a 3 year old), we're headed for the Pasco Airport.

More details to follow...

30 hours till departure... let the coutdown begin.

Box containing Ork army, dice, bloodbowl team, and about a ream of paper are currently (according to FedEx's webpage) "At FedEx Destination Facility."

The kids' bags are packed.

The wife's bag is mostly packed

My bag... is empty (I'll get to it..)


The one tray of models that didn't fit in the army transports, binder o' stuff, templates, tape, BB dice, and PrisonHammer deck are going with me...

Expect more post over the weekend from the phone...

Allons-y!
 

Orks, Orks, Orks... (or should I say "Nobz, Nobz, Nobz")

Got the last of the painted stuff back yesterday from my painting slave..... errr, good friend who, has in the past,  willingly painted for his half-blind friend.  Yeah, that's it.

Anyway, here's the family photo's of the biker nobz.  All have bikes (duh), cybork bodies, and stikkbombs.

First up, Power Klaw, Shoota-Rokkit Kombi-Weapon (and as soon as I figure out how - I'm contemplating adding a Waaagh! Banner - I've got the points in there for it)
 

Big Choppa, Kombi-Rokkit, Ammo Runt

Kombi-Skorcha, Big Choppa, Ammo Runt

Power Klaw, Ammor Runt

Mad Doc, Grot Orderly

Big Choppa, Kombi-Rokkit.

For those that can't see them because of the angle, the kombi-weapons and/or big choppa's are attached to the bike some how, either tethered to the frame, or slung somewhere.  All of them have wound counters (skull on a stick).

So, that makes my 2000 point biker army complete.  Since I've added a full unit of 'da Vulcha Boyz to the mix, I've got like 2313 points of painted "GO FASTA!" Orks.  I'm contemplating adding another 187 points to the mix to make an even 2500 points.  Now, it's a matter of what I want to add.

Tomorrow (possibly Monday) this whole army get's boxed up and shipped to Santa Clara, CA in preparation for Kubla Con.  I will endeavor to get family pics of each of the units, as well as in action pics of my games.

Now I just need to figure out my basing and the display board... and for that matter, the army list... for OFCC in August.

Squig Hopping...

Six "regular" squigs in orange.  Two "gnasher" squigs in red, and in the back are the two "kangaroo" squigs in brown.  Once they're dry the bases will get done and that will be that.

Another one down...

Kickoff Table:

2) Purple Demon: One of the great metal doors inside the endzones opens to reveal a purple demons with four arms ending in wicked looking claws. Place a model representing the monster in the middle of a random endzone. The monster has Mv 7, Str 4, Agi 3, Av 8 and the following skills: Claws, Stab.

It activates each one of the receiving player’s turns, before any other models. If it starts a turn adjacent to a standing model, the monster will attack with its Stab & Claws skill. Otherwise it will Blitz the nearest standing model and Stab them. If the monster is adjacent to multiple models or equally distant to multiple models, choose randomly which is blocked/Blitzed. The monster is removed at the end of the drive.

Astartes Bowl.  That's one of the kick-off table results.  This is the "Purple Demon" (apologies for the quality of the pic...)
