July updates…

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Just a quick update: Greatbears were coming along swimmingly, but then got distracted for a week.  Now I’ll be back into painting.  They just need final red highlights, some metal shine, then details: accessories.  Oh, and their arms and axes are still primered black.  Pictures available through Twitter.

Distraction above was from Atlantica Online.  Paid more money and got two 1-week licenses (which is why I felt like I had to play, to make good use of them) and a 1-month license.  I only used a 1-week license package.  Getting close to level 80 now :)  Just that I’m now at a point where the quests are pitting me against HIGHER level mobs.  Even got a game card from Target, but used it after nDoors special promotion :(  Spent like $31 in an attempt to get cool mounts.  Instead, I’m loaded with scrolls to nuke the enemies with.

Infinity’s PanOceania starter has been assembled, and the Fusiliers have been primered gray.  I should note that these miniatures are a major pain to assemble!!  I’ve been spoiled by Privateer Press’ minis (and to some credit, GW’s plastics and minis too).  Tiny, individual communications antennae?!  I can’t wait to get some Remotes and magnetize them though!!

Placed an order for more Reaper minis.  Assembled my dark elf sorceress mini for my friend to use in our current D&D campaign.  Had a little dilemma deciding between round or square bases.

Looks like there’s been a move to get some WM gaming back in from the Irvine playgroup!  YAY!

I’m suppose to draft up some rules for my special, fun “tag team” WARMACHINE event in early August.  Will get to that sometime this week…

It’s still June…

Parties are almost over.  Lots of parties with childhood friends, family, babies, birthdays, going aways… To come: adventuring parties and a birthday.

Haven’t gotten much done in the hobby department, but I’m teeming with ideas.  I’ve picked up to starters of Infinity (PanOceana and Yu-Jing), a couple of Reaper Dark Haven miniatures (for RPG and just painting) and assembled a couple more Khador models.  I still have the IFP to finish, but all they need are their shields (started last night) and grass on their bases.

Went to a SteamRoller 4 tournament and got 3 games in before I had to bail for a birthday party.  Faced epic Krueger twice – won two games by scenario’s tie-breaker and lost one to assassination.  It was well deserved.  Epic Krueger played aggressively and put me against the wall.  I had a great idea to assassinate Krueger (sitting on DEF21) by having my Behemoth throw his Gnarlhorn on top of him, and then walk in with my Fury’d Demo Korps under Butcher’s feat to finish the job.  Unfortunately, the Behemoth missed his boosted power attack, so the Demo Korps went to wreck a WoldWarden instead.

On Krueger’s turn, he brought Butcher down to a single point of life! (eKrueger missed 2 of his 3 attacks – one was used to finish a Demo Korps and pump his STR/ARM by 2)  If he couldn’t finish the job, Krueger would surely be dead.  His Gnarlhorn swerved around the Behemoth to finish off the Butcher, but it was so close whether the Gnarlhorn would take a free strike from the Behemoth of not.  I let him go free and basically gave him the game.  I had to leave early anyways and it was a good tussle.  WM is great that way – the dice can tumble any which way!!
