Sorry for the technical difficulties...

We should be back on the air shortly!!


Sorry for the delay in posts, to be honest the St. Valentines Day Massacre, and fallout from it had me a bit sick of the game, the drama, and the backstabbing... It's supposed to be a fun hobby and for a couple days there I have to say, it seemed like a colossal waste of time and money...



Going forward:

Blogside:
 More posts, more photos, maybe a Tut or Two… More time spent on the hobby for the shear fun of it. Size be damned!

Gameside:

First off, I am bloody well brining am camera to every game from now, the disputes over “what was on the table were” is flipping ridiculous! No more having to defend a cover save, a photo is worth a thousand posts…

Slower play, since that seems to be a gripe with a lot of previous players..

A size chart FAQ Handout for all of my future opponents. It’s easy to say my models are large and in charge, time to prove it with some graphics…

Objectives with bases on them, and I might just get them GW approved like I did previously with my Defilers and Oblits

Learn the rules, read all the FAQ’s, and just be a badass when it comes to them….
In tourney games, I might become a bit of a hard-ass with the rules… The attempt to be fun and flexible seems to have backfired as I either get taken advantage of, or people complain later because I was not flexible with everything. The fact two different people complained about not being able to deploy infiltrators after they started the shooting phase (Keep in mind that means We rolled to seize the initiative, player one moved, and then wanted to deploy a unit they forgot about) and somehow I am evil for not letting it happen seems a bit mixed up.

And
Most importantly play to have fun…




Stay Tuned!!!

St. Valentines Day Massacre


A wicked week of work kept me from doing any modeling with the exception of two new magnetized weapons for my Thousand Sons in prep for the St. Valentines Day Massacre.

Hosted by BigGunZ-NE, they ran a five round GT qualifier for the 2011 Los Vegas GT. I went representing Inner Circle Gaming Club. First two rounds of matchups were based on Comp, after that, rounds were based on battle points. I made some mistakes, got greedy taking risky moves, had good dice and bad. But five good games later I learned alot and managed to get 2nd place overall!! Qualifying for Vegas, and only missing out on 1st place by ONE point!

Prize support was exceptional, in-fact second place netted me a full Forge World Red Scorpion upgrade pack including:

RED SCORPIONS LAND RAIDER DOORS x1
RED SCORPIONS RHINO DOORS x2
RED SCORPIONS SYMBOLS x1
RED SCORPIONS MKIV VENERABLE DREADNOUGHT
RED SCORPIONS VANGUARD VETERANS WITH VETERAN SERGEANT CULLN COMMANDER CULLN
RED SCORPIONS VETERANS WITH VETERAN SERGEANT HAAS UPGRADE PACK
RED SCORPIONS TERMINATOR SHOULDER PADS x1
RED SCORPIONS MARINE SHOULDER PADS x3
BRASS ETCH RED SCORPIONS

Now I have to decide if I am going to use them, or find someone who would be willing to trade. I hate to let go of a hard won prize pack, but I really am dedicated to my Thousand Sons!
