Battleground tournament down...

Three games of prisonhammer, one "campaignament" win.

Off to food and then more blood bowl.

Pre-gaming gaming...

Got the first part of a dwarf v norse game of bloodbowl in before we
headed out for the cardhammer tournament...

Gamer Weekend... *of* *Dooooooooom*...

So I headed down to my friends place this weekend for a 5-day long gamer fest. :)

We're planning on getting 16 games between Friday night when I arrived and Wednesday afternoon when I leave.

It's now 2:30 am on... well, Saturday morning - we're playing a Battleground Tournament in 8 hours. I've gotten 3 beers, some cheddar bacon fries for Jack-in-the-Box, and 1 game of Blood Bowl in.

15 to go.

It's going to be a fun weekend.

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.

2 down, 3 to (acquire, and) go...

Apologies for the quality of the pictures. This evening I spent painting the Yeld and finishing the movement trays for my Ogres.



It's less than I wanted to get done, but - what are you going to do? I'm lazy. :)

I did get my ratlings primed. They're up next for the painting.

Green Yeld

Here's the deal, I picked up this guy off ebay shipped for like $5 minus the wings. Dig through bitz box of doom... find closest thing I can find to the Yeld wings, add a little greenstuff to cover the fleur de lis, et voila!


One "Green Hunter" Yeld. Wing power-ups haven't kicked in yet. :)

Planning on painting it up this weekend... more pictures to come.

Yawn... *Blink* *Blink* Holy Cra...

Wow, has it really been that long since the last post. Sorry about that guys. Haven't really been working on much gaming wise. Let's see...

Painted an Orrus for a Spyrer gang for Necromunda...

Started building movement trays for my be revived Ogre Kingdom Army...

Built two blisters worth of Imperial Guard Ratling Snipers...

Yeah, that's about it.

What's that? You want pictures? Right, you are a surly bunch this morning. First up - Orrus standing on the movement trays:



No pictures of the the hobbi...err, Ratlings - they're bare metal at this point and really it's not worth wasting the electrons.

Should have more updates (more often) for you guys next week - the wife and child are out of town and I may be able to get a few hours in.
