Wow, OK... That's pretty heavy. I'll run a fund raising tournament. Starting on that now.

Do you have lots of GW paint sitting around crying for organization? Then maybe you need one of these: Here are some feature of this paint solution Each layer holds 12 GW paint pots (newer style) All layers spin independently around the center The modular design allows for customized storage- 36, 48, 60 pots or more! The rack can be disassembled for easy transport and storage Spacers are included in the kit to accommodate various paint pot heights Here is what is included in the 3 Tier system: Here is a shot of spacers added to accommodate wash and contrast paints: How crazy can your solution be? Maybe not 10 Tier, but it has been tested 🙂 What will this cost? The base 3 Tier system (36 pots, perfect for the new Contrast line) is $30 Each additional level added to your rack is +$6 How do you order one? Please send me a PM to arrange your order. Once payment is received via PayPal, delivery will be arranged. Can this be shipped? Although the printed racks are durable, there is no current plan to ship these and will be limited to pickup only Will these be available at OFCC? After fulfilling preorders (which can be delivered at OFCC), I may have some for sale during the event. This is not guaranteed, so if you want to ensure availability then please order one. Do these hold other brands of paint? No, this solution is limited to the current GW paint pot (introduced in 2011) So, let me know if you are interested in my rack. 🙂

He's finished. I'm calling him Bobo. He enjoys eating beans and is very happy to slam Xenos with his new door shield.

Here is a link to the 200+ pictures I took during the 2019 OFCC https://photos.app.goo.gl/2Jv6zp7BYexekaZaA We will see you for OFCC 2020 on July 24-26

No. It's not. We're all working adults with busy lives. Our hobby is awesome, but time consuming. So it has to take a back seat to work obligations, family commitments, community engagements, etc.. So when I do make time to play a game I have to respect my time and play in a way that I will enjoy. Because of I don't find fulfillment in the hobby then what's the point? And for me, being on the business end of a BS ITC soup army designed to put my opponent on a podium, and ruin my fun is not an example of respecting my time. That's a waste of my time; and I'm not interested in doing that anymore. I'm here for the beer and pretzels. For the lore and laughs. I spend hours painting my army because I LOVE telling fun, funny, stories on the table top with toy soldiers. Over the last year I've been able to make time for one full 40K match, and a handful of Kill Team matches. I had to cancel OFCC for work. So no, I don't have time to be someone's gaming punching bag. And no, it's not harsh to say, up front, "nope not interested".

Curious how many people completed the various achievements? Well, I was and since I had all the data it was just a matter of counting (...and counting and counting and counting.) 🙂 Below are the results of all of that counting! As it appeared on the form: Sorting by most to least popular:

More STUFF! This time it is the first squad of Brood Brothers. Uniform is Vallejo Russian Uniform with Reflective Green body armor (mirrors Soviet WW2 uniform and helmet colors). I'm using the new black contrast paint on the boots - makes life much simpler and looks great for table standard. Spent a fair amount of time on the autocannon - it's highlighted with AK 4BO Soviet Green modulation colors, then chipped, then oil streaked and pinwashed. I also added some barbed wire, spent shell casings, and a track link to the set up. Decals are from Scumb4g Kustoms. It's a really neat set with enough to do something like 5 or 6 units.

Update time! I now have the components to build two more copies of tile #1, and have moved on to designing a new tile layout. First, I needed to upscale one of the other storage tanks from the set. The larger tank has been scaled to 164% of the original Why 164%? I wanted it scale it to the other tank and used the integrated ladder for reference Speaking of scaling, I don't this little tank provides enough cover: This is much better! Picture for scale:

Ehh... its "done". I see lots of other things I could finish up on this guy but it's good enough for table top.

I would like to list all the people I owe a thanks to, but at my advanced age it is hard to remember them all. 🙂

Thank you to everyone who came out and committed to 15 hours (well 14.5 hours) of wargaming in two days. You are really the weekend warriors that make these events happen. I'll need to get all of the final details from the tournament from the Ordo laptop (I didn't have a way to transfer them due to the no-internet zone). Ill be uploading photos soon, so stay tuned for that! Like Ben K. said, Andrew and I are planning on driving down for the Zoo, we could certainly add 1-2 more people to the carpool. Last year we were generously hosted by one of the locals in Davis, I am sure we can secure a similar situation this year. Finally, because I know Disruptive Conduct will see this. Thank you Ordo for making this event possible. Without Ordo, we may have never met each other and been able to attract new members to our small but growing community. 'Till next year!

I'm really pleased that they have the time and resources for some leisure as well as the opportunity to pursue some other life interests. They gave the city of Portland an amazing gift. I believe the new owners are wise enough not to meddle with a winning formula.

Doesn't sound like you'd enjoy it. Sounds like you don't understand what OFCC offers. It's not about denying what's fun for you, it's a out denying what others can't deal with a majority of the time. You don't get squat for winning all 5 of your games, that's the point. If anything consider list toning for next time or if your opponents liked you so much they want a rematch. I own 12 destroyers, yet only bring one squad of 6. Why, because I know point for point they're super strong at erasing vehicles. I know you enjoy ITC and more competitive environments. This is not that venue. OFCC offers something unique. As Hanaur said there's a lot less restriction than you think. Just be aware your not bringing an LVO leaf blower list to OFCC and you'd be fine. One last thing, attitude is what makes OFCC. Laugh, giggle, fart, just don't get stressed, don't get mad at yourself or your opponents and you'll fit right in. I always find beer and pretzels is what I enjoy at OFCC. Don't get me wrong I'll play to my best general abilities, just toning my list down offers a challenge too.

I ended up putting all of my forge world elder corsair stuff up on eBay this weekend. I totally forgot about this list. Anyhow, i'm (torn_or) on eBay.... 2 eldar corsair conversion kits, the heavy weapons kit, jet bike kit and 3 wasp war walker kits and wraith seer bits. Also, a limited edition Infinity figure (yu-jing crane rank pre-order figure). +++++++ NEW UPDATE - MOST ITEMS SOLD ... WILL START DIGGING INTO MODELS / MINIS THIS WEEKEND I HOPE. WILL POST THEM HERE FIRST FOR A WEEK... BEFORE MOVING TO EBAY. FOR 40K - A SCATTERING OF CSM STUFF, DARK ELDAR, ELDAR NEW AND OLD RT STUFF... , ELDAR CORSAIRS FORGEWORLD STUFF, IMPERIAL KNIGHTS ON SPRUE. NON 40K STUFF - WILL BE A FEW DARK AGE SELECTIONS, POSSIBLY SOME EPIC STUFF (OVERFLOW / EXTRA ELDAR, MARINES, ORKS) ========== > > "FAITH - THE SCI-FI RPG" boxed game. This is a card based RPG - new in box - thumbed through - but never got it out on the table. ($75$) > “The Hab Block” phase 2 “Easy Set Up” Kickstarter - w/magnets. Un-opened and Un-Assembled. Perfect board starter set - urban - sci-fi style with add-ons (75$) -d

Rather than a separate video, I think this should actually be the cold open.

As found here

My buddy just gave me a huge pile of stuff to unload. I'm going to try and make it down, although not 100% if I'll be able to. Stuff I've got: -Wargaming terrain (DarkOps Iceheim, 2x Tinkerturf kickstarter bundles) -Tons of Necromunda (starter, rules, lots of gangs) -AvP 2nd ed board game -A giant assortment of Game of Thrones LCG cards, lots of stuff still new -plus a ton of other random GW kits: Scions, Chaos Cultists, Dark Elves (Blood Bowl), Blood Warriors, plus other goodies

Nice find. The above was the last lunchbox I ever owned in elementary. Below was the first.

Good catch, I will add in the standard placement requirements for objectives

SOTW is satisfied to accept this worthy challenge.

Family photo of my (zcaust83) deathguard army. I didn't paint them but they're damn beautiful 😀😀 Ill post the list im going with this week or next.

So my nephew is looking to get into Marines instead. You convinced me that Tau or Guard are not good starters. Looking for anything! Even older models to get started for him. Termies, tactical Marines, scouts, predator, razorback/rhinos, HQ (captain and librarian), or any other things you'd like to sell off. Also interested in any other models, not picky at all. A bulk deal would even be good. PM me with what you have or start a conversation. Thanks 😁

@zcaust83 @Dark Trainer @peter.cosgrove That’s my fault. I have the PIN. I will attempt the steps that Pete mentioned ASAP (on a flight now). I apologize for the delay, won’t happen the next time.

A pure Blood Angels player who home brews beer and only started playing about a year ago...?...

Happy birthday @necrontyr 💥💥👐👐🖖🖖🖖🤡🤡🤓

They’ve never been shy about the Blood Angels’ thematic inspiration being Renaissance religious artwork and literature (with a sprinkling of Baroque to keep it fresh). They’re the Renaissance Italian Catholic Vampires in Spaaace, and that’s why we love them.

You know, its really the best hobby for me. Small bursts of activity followed by long periods of inactivity. It is the first time I have ever been able to make hobby progress AND get some sleep at the same time...it's perfect. 🙂

Is dere somefing metal, in yo’ battlefield? Whose youse gonna call? Tankbustas! (“I ain’t a’feared uv no tank!”)

!!Attention all Ordoites!! The Senate of Ordo Fanaticus offers to you one of the best opportunities of the year to put on the best wargaming event of 2019: THE ORDO FANATICUS CLUB CHALLENGE (OFCC) No, this is not your run of the mill tournament. This is not a one day GT. This is not a tournament held at a convention. This is OFCC. It is an event we, the Senate, treasure enough to host each year. We do it to celebrate YOU, the Ordo Fanaticus Clubs and Communities. We want to repay you for all that you do for everyone else here on the boards, at your local gaming stores, and the spirit you bring with you to all of your games. OFCC is hosted by Ordo Fanaticus. We reserve 14,000 sqft of glorious, beautiful gaming space at the Hilton in downtown Vancouver for 3 days of gaming. We fill it with tournaments and gaming events run by individuals of the community. We call these people Heads of Gaming or HoGs. This post is our way to solicit you for submissions to be a HoG at the next OFCC, running August 16, 2019, through August 18, 2019. If you want to be a HoG, send a submission with the following criteria to me via PM. We want a number of different gaming systems and events going on all weekend. Please, contact us, and let us know your idea. Even if you do not have all the details, put as much as you can into a submission and we can work with you to see how we can include it at OFCC. Never run an event before and you have motivation and an idea?? Perfect! Contact me, @ninefinger, or @Raindog and we can help you make your event a reality. Your admissions should be in this format (we even fill out some of it for you). o What: <Event Title> o When: OFCC 2019, August 16 thru August 18 o Where: The Hilton in Downtown Vancouver o Why: Because we want to game! o Number of Players (min/max): o Number of Days: One, two, or even three day events can be considered o Event Style: GT, Round Robin, Swiss pairings, etc. Go into as much detail as possible if there is no standard to compare to. o Budget: Monetary costs for tournament supplies, printing costs, awards, trophies, etc. o Missions and Scenarios: Get creative with it! o Point Value: o Scoring: We want to invite you to do scoring as you see fit with one of caveat: Sportsmanship is REQUIRED. We focus on Sportsmanship more than winning and want to celebrate all aspects of the hobby including generalship and painting. o Achievements and Awards: Extra things for your players to add fun and dynamic new twists. Your proposal should include a brief summary of your vision for the event and why you wish to be Head of Gaming. If selected, you will work with the Campaign Czar (that’s me, @DisruptiveConduct) and others on the Senate in designing, organizing, and running the event. As an OFCC event, you may be required to make changes based on the needs of the event and to maintain the spirit of the event. This is especially true for our usual premiere events, like the Team 40k 2 day. Due to the potentially high number of projected participants, the HoGs for those systems should be prepared to be flexible with their proposal. The last day to submit for HoG is Feb 3, 2019. The final selections for HoGs will be made by February 18, 2019. Please start drafting your submissions as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to myself, ninefinger, or Raindog. We are all available to help.

Searched google for "40k rhino camouflage," was not disappointed with the results:

I will also be there, with 500 points of Crimson Fists!

You could set up a bot that could respond to rules questions like Jervis pretty easily, tho. "Roll a dice* for it." *I feel dirty after typing that, but I felt it was important for verisimilitude.

Mission accomplished. First two minis down for the season. Should be picking up the rest tomorrow.

Oh man... Parking is free on the weekends in Vancouver, but the Farmer's Market is going on so that tends to tie up a lot of stuff in the area. If you can't get in at the Hilton, there are parking garages at 8th and Broadway, 5th and Main, and parking lots on the other side of City Hall and at the new Waterfront development. There is so much more food now too. The new Waterfront has several great if not pricey restaurants. Directly across from the Hilton though is the Smokin' Oak which has primo BBQ. The Farmer's Market has a ton of food stalls too, some great stuff. If you walk over to Washington and 6th there's Little Conejo for awesome tacos and Nonavo Pizza for wood fired thin crust pizza. Head up a block to 7th for the Grocery Cocktail for some southern style food and great drinks. Washington and 8th you can get Tommy O's Hawaiian or go to Low Bar for fancy bar grub. Or you can always just walk up Main Street and find everything ever. Vinnie's does great pizza, and Joe Brown's has excellent greasy diner style food. Anything specific you're looking for, just let me know!

A preview of coming events.

TL;DNR: the problem isn't knights, the problem is frankenarmies. Long version: It was indeed out last year. The Knight codex introduced the castellan, and the mini knights. I brought a four Knight list last year, and I think we had five fun games.... The issue with knights isn't knights, it's how they are supported. A single codex Knight army is tough, but not unstoppable. But knights in an Imperial soup army.... That's another animal. When I plan to play my Knight army, I always consider if I want to play solo or combined arms. If I'm playing combined arms, then I leave the castellan at home in favor of either a paladin or an errant. A lone paladin and or errant is just enough to make it interesting, but not enough to overwhelm. In a solo codex army, a lone castellan supported by smaller knights isn't too bad. Multiple castellan chassis knights would be overwhelming I think. But then again, it really depends on your opponent.

Those responsible have been sacked.... 😂

Thanks for the clarification..
