Gaming and More Gaming...
After several dry spells, all of my games are returning. That would be great news, except they're all returning potentially this week due to scheduling conflicts! Last night was L5R, tonight is Vampire, Thursday Star Trek, and Friday Hunter. A lot to juggle (the L5R game is the only weekly game, the others are bi-weekly and usually I have two one ( Read more... ) -
An investment in old school
I think anyone who's known me for a few years is aware of how much White Wolf's World of Darkness setting (old or new) has been an important part of my hobby experience for over a decade and a half now. My first purchase for the classic WoD was used copies of Vampire: the Masquerade (2nd Ed) and the Black Furies and Bone Gnawers Tribebooks for ( Read more... ) -
A few tidbits:
In no particular order...
1: Flesh Tearers project has been on hold for months; an Apocalypse campaign led me back to my Ultramarines so they've been receiving most of my attention, although I've painted a few random things here and there.
2: Made a few self-realizations and carefully noted how much "losing" Samhaine last year due to the snowstorm/ ( Read more... ) -
Done! Well, sort of. OK, not really...
It's been a while since I updated about, well, anything, but specifically the Flesh Tearers army project. In the past two months I have been anything but idle, and the army is now assembled and primed. I've learned a fair amount since I started the project, and have had a few snags and hiccups along the way.
The biggest snag as failing to stick to ( Read more... ) -
Interiors?
Over the long weekend I managed to finish the first Tactical Squad and assembled their Rhino. By "finish" I mean I glued torsos together, glued torso to legs, glued the body to the base and positioned the supporting left arm on most of them, while selecting heads, arms w/bolters, backpacks, and shoulder pads for each and leaving them separate for ( Read more... ) -
Hard Work Pays Off, Right?
Since my last entry, I've managed to pose the last two Death Company Marines and have begun the first of two Tactical Marine squads. The work is slow-going, for a number of reasons ( Read more... ) -
The Birth of an Army
As I’m sure any of you who have known me for any length of time knows, I’ve been assembling plastic, metal, and now resin figures and painting them for Warhammer 40,000 for years - specifically since 1994. I’ve got several armies in various stages in my closet, collected during the various editions of the game - Tyranids and Imperial Guard (2nd ( Read more... ) -
New beginnings
It's appearing like 2011 is bringing some changes, hopefully positive. My long-running L5R game is now moving out of the Greek Cultural Center in Springfield and up to Off The Wall Games in Hadley, which gives me much more control over the space and means a 20-minute commute as opposed to a 40-minute one. Unfortunately, one of my players dropped ( Read more... ) -
New Years plans
Other then a stop into the Decadence party avalon616 is throwing, our plans for New Year's Eve are fairly nebulous. We may just have a quiet night with friends and movies. I'm working at Off The Wall until 6 o'clock, and should be done with closing around 6:30. I think aersi is going to meet me in Amherst and we'll get some takeout from Amherst Chinese if ( Read more... ) -
Sadly, not a good night.
Last night's plan to paint got shot in the head when my desktop computer Adella II picked up a bad virus, one of those false anti-virus things. She's currently with coureton, who's pretty confidant he can get it out. So the matter is being handled by someone I trust, but it just adds to the general stress of the past several days. Kyle needs work as ( Read more... )
