My January (aka, this is my *boom* stick)

Right, so the gaming.modeling was less than stellar this month.  Egh, to everything thing there is a season.  Anywho - The wife finished up the Dark Elf BB team this week.  I've just now got to finish the bases.  Here's a shot of one of the Witch Elves:

So, that will be done this week - based and shiny.  I'll get a picture of the full team up after that.  Other exciting happenings game wise - played a 3 person Dungeon Bowl game.... with snotlings.  Three teams of snots in the dungeon with no re-rolls... it was fun.  :)

Now, as to the aka from the title...  I started going every once in a while to the gun club (shotgun).  This morning I was starting a round (of 25 shots) - three in and the gun of the guy next to me essssploded.  Kicked the bolt out to the right (away from everyone) and pealed the barrel like a grape.  It blew a hole in the guys hat brim, knocked a lens out of his safety glasses, shredded the gloved trigger finger, and threw a piece of shrapnel about 25 feet straight back (and put a small hole in a guys jacket).  I got a picture of the gun...

So, that was exciting.

First post of the new year...

Right.  So December was reasonably game-less.  What can I say, family stuff.  :)

The wife did get me the new(ish) Bloodbowl PC game for Christmas - so I've been playing that when I have the free time.  It's fun.  That's all.

I got 3 games in of Fantasy today.  We did a mini team tournament.  750pts per team.  There were three games played.  The teams were DoC and Woc (overall winners), Dwarf and Empire (best general), High Elf and Lizardmen (Best Sportsmanship), and then us - the looser team.  Wood Elf and Norse (from the WAB rules).  There were some ass-beatings... most only the receiving end for us.  Here's two pictures from today that I took.

Game 1:

So, this is the setup of Game 1.  Tree's leading the charge (or death as the case were - those Tzeentch daemons *hurt*).

And here's the Dryad's running from the Knights during game 3.

Overall it was a fun day.

Time to get cranking on the building I need to do for Kublacon though.  I've got lot's to build and paint, and not that much free time to do it in.

Dark Elf Bloodbowl, game 2

...and it was good.

Got my second game in this last weekend with the Dark Elfs (Elves?).  Beat the Undead team 3-1.  Got two guys to level up, earned enough (with my Treasury) to replace a Witch Elf and pick up an Apothecary.  Fan factor went up again.  I didn't do anything to him casualty wise.  He did some damage to himself.  I had one badly hurt Lineman, and 2 that were ejected for fouling.  Other than that, a reasonably low impact game.

The wife is going to have a sewing party on next Sunday, so I get to go back out and play again next week.  Hoping to get at least two games of BB in.  Maybe they'll be painted...  :)

Gamer ADD, round two...

Greenstuff'd arm, and storm bolter with added ammo belt (Ork, to be exact).

One more bitz-built Terminator with the exception of the head.  One of the "Steam Knight Helmets" by MaxMini.   It's a little taller than the standard terminator helmets so will take a little trimming to get the other ones in.

I'll admit it, I have have Gamer ADD...

So, I've had this idea for a chaos-wing army rolling around in the back of my head for like almost 2 years.  I kept putting it off because the list using the Deathwing list just wasn't good enough for me.  With the Wolves codex the list is gooder. 

Sigh.

So, I picked up a Chaos Terminator Lord box (on sale!) while I was on a work trip, and got some terminators in trade and went digging through my bitz box.  I was able, with this $18 box, and my bitz to build my Logan proxy, my rune priest (sorcerer), 2 terminator Lone Wolves, and a full 6-man squad.

I still need to get the guard army up and running.  Here's some pictures of what I've got so far.  They're not quite done done... need to do some cleanup and greenstuff work (and give logan his storm bolter).

 

 

Anyone got any extra terminator legs they don't need?  I've got plenty of torso's and weapons...

Post tournament thoughts...

I ran a tournament today.  Dismal turnout... five.  (Really guys, only 5 of you?).  But I think fun was had by all. 

Ran a new tournament scoring sheet where scoring was not as visible to the players, and instead of the standard GW "pick one of the following" for painting and composition... it was more "check all that apply."  I set the numbers to be up out of 100 points (51 pts for battle, 15 for opponent judged comp/theme, 10 for TO painting, and 24 for opponent scored theme).  The score range today was 44 to 77.  Missions blatantly stolen and modified from the  "Dice Like Thunder" missions (link here - pdf warning).

That is all.

Wife's painting skillz....

They've been sitting close to done for almost a month now.  It was just waiting on me getting off my *deleted* to base and seal them.

Done.

They're going up on eBay as soon as I finish this post...  Thanksgiving vacation gas money.  :)
