listening to the follow up Splintermind podcast... more good stuff. Got my list idea almost nailed down. -d

my vote

Dakka for a cure?

war on cancer? WAAAAGH On Cancer? WAAAGH for a Cure? ... still thinking on it

hmmm i will keep my calendar open for this... thanks LH -d

thats the lynx

is the phantom part of this deal?

hmmm I finally picked up a 3D printer... (any cubic photon S (2nd gen)) purely for figures... and smaller high detail items. As well as multi-part detail models. I simply couldn't justify spending more on lower consistent resolution. But so far its working great... although I have only printed a couple tests prints thus far. I have started following a few patreon blogs looking at some good quality figures. -d

Ahhh ok. I knew I got my wires crossed somehow lol. looking at MOX website - seems like it may be nice for a one-off night out with friends and family of gamers perhaps. I don't see it as a regular stop for me just based on location. Guardian Games has a nice location ... parking can be fussy but street parking in off hours seems easy enough. Although I only go in there a couple times a year. Their are lots of game store options in town these days - which is nice to see. Back in the 80's-90's it was hard to find a consistent place to go and get stuff lol (still miss you military corner / bridgetown 😞 ). As long as Guardian and Mox don't overlap to much (food, spirits and game environment) I could see them doing ok... Otherwise I'm not so sure there is room for them both. Considering all the other options around town for game / hobby stores... even Guardian isn't a must go to location to get stuff. -d

in that area ('couv) I have played at Fate and Fury games. Did some Apoc there most recently. But I don't live anywhere close to that area lol. -d

OK ... wait I thought MOX was the one to purchase GG... this is an entirely different store opening? ok... not what I was thinking was happening. I don't go to GG often (aside from the yard sales :)... ) And I probably won't get to MOX at all if its on the west side. -d

just waiting for it to be done... and ... over. The last few shows have had many WTF moments- plot holes and just lazy writing. But the visuals are good - and I enjoy watching. Until, I start thinking about it too much lol. At this point I am really just trying to get r' done lol. One more show - and its over ... so just trying to enjoy it. -d

After listening I am thinking I need to pull out my available units and start toying around with lists. I am still imagining my Harlequin - DE- CE team up flying assault-ish force... that has been on my brain for the better part of a decade lol. If I am lucky I will get it together so I can play test it before OFCC lol. Harlequin (RT Era bikes) as revers, hellions, and a unit of Wyches as "mimes". More RT Harlequin jet bikes conversions for shining spears, sky weavers included along with other flying weapon platforms. Counts as Autarch on jet bike as Baron Sathonyx... with that new NICE blade from the Ynnari artifacts... for starters. Just have to settle on whom of Triumvirate I would take as well.. leaning on Yncarne possibly as a laughing god conversion (I have one I made from the old Necron deceiver already made). I's a start - I will have to see how the points work out lol. -d

Listening now - getting some good ideas 😄

hmmm I had started collecting stuff for Garlands last year... even have the MICRO garlands set :)] Trying to find a way to make myself available to do this. -d

photos - excellent!

I'll be playing for "Ordo East" -d

I'd love to do this. but weekday game nights have been a killer with my current commute.

I have a group up on eBay currently - Dark Vengeance starter set of marines - (Termies, bikes, hq folks and a unit of troops). +++++ nope...sorry this is gone SOLD -d

officially paid... so I guess i am gunna be in it this year. I need to get to work now I guess lol. -d

I think I will try pointing him out as an Autarch first... The jet bike cats would be a good comparison to the pods on the skyboard. Banshee mask and maybe the lance. Not sure but I will start there. Of course I still need to find where I put this model lol. -d

OK - I may regret posting this topic... But here it goes. I am working on a army idea - and I wanted to take Baron Sathonyx ... knowing he doesn't exist anymore in 8th of course. But I do have a mini meant to be him.. and I plan to cut some of it up for conversions for my own version of this HQ choice. Big problem is that he doesn't exist and no skyboard riding hellion type exists within the Eldar races. So... options? My first idea was simply an Autarch on jet bike or wings. The other option is the winged phoenix lord... Baharroth. But maybe there are better ideas to be used to create an Counts-As figure that would generally fit the mold? If you were playing against this figure - what would make the most sense when you see this dude on a larger skyboard? I am thinking the Autarch on jet bike is the best option myself. But I thought I would toss it here for optional ideas. -d

"The Sorrows of Empire" - by Chalmers Johnson. I had started this book back in the 90's... and put it down. Recently I picked it back up with my audible app and listened straight through in less than a couple evenings. Disturbingly accurate - and even though its dated to only Bush juniors presidency it felt fairly relevant. You get to thinking that it is kinda a pointless system to think a common person in this country really controls anything - And the Empire that is the US is doomed to fail sooner rather than later. History shows this to be true... with the current administration things may be speeding along a bit faster than before. Anyhow, very informative... thought provoking - if a bit depressing.

Here is my blog link to that last game... of APOC that I have been involved in. -d
