I've got to get my numbers up...

...the wife is kicking my ass.

One done Beast of Nurgle for "Smells Like Team Spirit"

Chaos Warrior doubling as a Nurgle Warrior.

Pestigor.

Ghoul doubling as my Rotters.

And finally, the whole team.  Signed, sealed and well, not delivered - cause they're mine for this year's Blood Bowl Championship Series at Kublacon.

A funny thing happened while at the game store...

So, I lost the semi-finals (see previous post).  Ronnie (Chaos) played Zach (Norse - my opponent) and ended up winning the championships.  The two players of the final each won $50 ISC, and we had drawings for two $25 ISC.  I won one of those (keep that in mind) in the drawing.

After lunch I started playing a game of 40k with a new guy and Ronnie came over and wanted to know what I wanted for my Nurgle team.  He said he was going to use his winnings to get GW's one - but it didn't have all of what he wanted in the team, and then he'd have to paint it (and figure out what to use for his Beast of Nurgle).  So, he wanted to buy my team from me.  I told him to make me an offer I couldn't refuse.  He offered the $50 ISC and $30 in cash (since he wouldn't have to pay one of the other guys to paint the team). 

So, that means.  I walked into the game store today with a BB team that I built from my bitz box and about $8 of bitz from an online bitz store.  Played a game of BloodBowl, a game of 40k and walked out with $30 in cash and $75 (well $74.25) worth of GW credit.  Bought a fantasy box as well as some BB figs - so I can recreate the team using different models - for Kubla.

And the 40k game?  20 models vs. an ork horde of... horde.  Here's a pic of him starting his first turn of Dawn of war.  Yes - that's 4 squads of 30 boyz.

The game ended with 4 GK Terminators holding one objective.  3 Orks holding another, and 12 Orks holding a third (with the 4th objective being unclaimed). 

Games in the heat...

I love days when thunderstorms come in. Hot *and* humid. :) Game store's AC's not the best... the only reason it doesn't turn too bad in there - it's a big book store with lots of space to dissipateb the gamer funk.

Anyway, took the bi-weekly pilgrimage west to get some games in this weekend. There was some discussion on the "local" board about a couple of people who were headed out of town next week for a 1999-point Fantasy tournament - they wanted to get a few games in to try some things out. It's a strange point total, a max of 3 heroes, 3 special and 1 rare... but a lot of points available. The odd thing about my current Ogre Kingdom army - it meant combining the leadbelchers from 4 units to 3. That's it. I only had 1 rare (Slave Giant), and I didn't have any lords.

After getting the Empire beat-down - ok, it wasn't a beat-down I did loose, but it was a weird swinging game that saw my right flank disappear (stoopid knights and steam tank), and my left flank sweep through his... swirling masses of brutal combat I tell you. I think I'll do some conversion work to get myself a BSB... could use the Ld boost.

On to the 40k game. A 1500 point Plague Marine list. Sorcerer with some upgrades, 5 units of plague marines, 1 unit of daemons and an obliterator. Playing against an Iron Warriors inspired (DP, Terminator Lord, Terminator Squad, 2x10 CSM, Predator, Land Raider, and Defilier). Had it not been for the two turns of walking across the open killing field it would have been closer. T5 and FNP doesn't help against the onslought of lascannons... :) Good game anyway.

Right. As for the new guard army - I still need to put 2 more colors on the ratlings and then they're done. I'm hoping to get it done this week - at which point I will post pictures. I promise.
