Right now… ON YOUR FACE!

preparing my wallet for some blood letting… not sure if the 30th is pre-order or actual - but I am primed and ready to go :). A real codex (even if just a supplemental one) will have me launching into an entirely new project… maybe in time for OFCC - but I am unsure about if I will be doing the OPEN or the TEAM events... -d

OHHH not sure what to do now… but this is awesome (even if the army sucks) lol its OFFICIAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421914688&x-yt-cl=84503534&v=Sa2fDbwoBUE http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/01/harlequins-official-gw-teaser-released.html

SQQQQUUUUUEEEeeeeeEeEEeeee!! http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/01/40k-harlequin-rules-prices-go-go-go.html ---- hum…sorry… here are some towels for anyone whom got hit….

that poor flower…AHHH the violence of the destruction is unbearable.

good job

awesome…I am doing it!

lol sorry - i thought I had… just to quick to click i guess

apoc… for me sir.

hmmm sounds interesting Duckman… but depending on how many participants … thats quite a bit of "static defense" that would have to be built and supplied for each table. I like the idea… just wondering how logistically it would have to work. I have started to look at the 2-3 day narrative events for inspiration … to do the triathlon. Most that I have looked into break the participants into factions at the get go. After that the factions are allowed to plan out their attacks… and defenses. This may be a way to make it work… still doing some research. At this point I would think participation would be limited to the idea… so with good pre-planning a narrative campaign could work maybe. -d

gratz!

hmmm see I like brainstorming :) -- I was thinking possibly a narrative - BFG to break into orbit…and land your forces…. (if a larger team or theme feel - then all players decided into "good" v "not so good".) Next day - Epic… battle across the wastelands to the city… or structure… delivering your team of crack elite for the final stand-off. Last day… Kill-teams… in catacombs… or city tables…something like that. Key to it all for me is that all three days events - your army - your fleet - your kill team… are from the same faction. My ghost fleet or Eldar Corsair fleet… my eldar in epic… and my eldar crack kill team. something like that. Not sure…but its an idea. -d

OK - I am thinking about something kinda crazy - a 40k themed Triathlon. Something like BFG / EPIC / KILL TEAM… or something with that sorta mix in scale. Could include apoc… or 40k… Necromunca --- or zone mortalis or something. Anyhow - over 3 days ( thinking OFCC event). Not sure - but I am intrigued about the idea. I have played and have armies for most of the games. The idea being - all scores from different games. It was that or somehow connecting the different games …which could still be possible as a narrative. Thoughts? discuss? -d

hmmm I have a b-day dinner to go to at 2pm… but if there is enough stuff I want to look at I will have to swing by. I would be interested in the ork BFG possibly. And I am hoping to find some older DE 40k stuff. -d

Ok - thinks are kinda up in the air about my sunday plans - so I will just plan on missing the make up game - and being there tuesday - sorry

ok - well thats why I have never done it … LOL - I think I will move forward and just store the Lisa for another year or three.. as a conversation starter lol. After I get a plan about EXACTLY what I will be doing with it (mod in something) then I will probably seek help LOL. thanks again! -d

well after a bit of clean up - and letting things warm up in the room. I plugged it in to see how it faired in storage ( I moved it 2 weeks ago)... and well... nothing. It sounds to be coming on - then failed in a few seconds. I unplugged it and clean it up some more. The monitor seems to be out at this point... and I think the power supply as well. I think the last time I was messing with it - it was just starting to go ... and at this point its probably done gone. So... now I will just store it until I get a chance to hack/mod it. Pulling out what I can to make room for something small without having to take out too much. But that means I will have to replace the monitor with possibly an LCD. The screen is right around 11" dia. I think a iPad size screen would fit nicely. But I would like it to be more than and iPad dock. lol. I will take extra care when I remove the monitor. Any ideas how best to go about removing a CRT? at least as far as de-energizing it? -d

I'll aim for 4:30… but I am not 100% on sunday at this point. It will depend on if I can get projects at home cleared by then. -d

I'm torn as to playing … which event… etc. less issues with playing in the Open though. But I am thinking about planning something like Apoc on friday though… or even Thursday -into friday. and then just hanging out the rest of the time. -d

OK - I have been going through a bunch of old stuff I have … and repacking some - tossing others and just trying to organize. I have an Apple Lisa .. and the last time I was dinking around with it (started it up) before I put it into storage the last time… I had a monitor problem. This is a small like 9" (guess) monitor (b/w old pre-mac basically). The OS is fine but the monitor is "rolling" or not coming into focus right. Like an old TV where it would show like 2-3 copies of the same image…? Anyhow only the one image is right… because I poked around at icons with the mouse and I figured that much out. ANYHOW - I am not IT techie… I don't know what this issue is really. Is it a bad monitor… a bad card/controller or something else? The Lisa is in great shape otherwise ( I got it from the original owner about 15 years ago). I have the external HD.. and printer that came with it as a set. My current idea is to rip the monitor out… and put in an LCD - and either mini mac hardware (running a flavor of linux) or even an iPad lol. Maybe something else… there is plenty of room in the box. But having seen some of these Lisa's go for 10's of thousands of $ on ebay from time to time - I had thought about possibly selling it at some point if it was fully operational. Anyhow - anyone have a clue as to where to start with this monitor issue? … or should I just remove it… and hack the box? -d ps. here is a Lisa…

My son wants to try out 40k… and I have about 1200 points of old DE stuff - mostly wyches - and a couple NIB older Ravegers/Raiders. After going over things with him - he may want to do some other army rather than DE. But I have been thinking I could set this DE army up as an army that could be used at maybe 1450, 1850 - or even 2k. He is eager to learn - and currently likes the look of the older DE. I explained that DE probably isn't the best learning list… and tried to steer him towards marines. He does like the grey knights - but as far as just learning and practicing painting - I figured it would be ok to have him mess around this with older DE stuff I had. I have been working hard on setting up my garage for garage hammer - and several of my nephews are also interested in wargaming. In the end - I will have a playable learning army for others to try out 40k that isn't my normal Eldar stuff. Long term I will probably put together a simple marine army as well. So on the cheap I am trying to fill out the rest of the army - so we can build a simple stand alone older DE list. I am looking to pick up warriors - raiders… reavers mostly. But if you have some unused DE stuff that you would like to get rid of let me know. -d

hmmm I have a bunch - but not sure if I have a family event that day…. :/

…unless they are Silvertips fans…. then.. well not sure j/k

hmmm I may try to get a game in on sunday - anyone need a game… and can do this? not sure what time things open up on sunday. -d
