Exile

PHOTOBOMB!

So I uploaded a bunch of photos to the member gallery located HERE:

Still getting used to taking photos of minis, but an ad-hoc backdrop worked out ok, it seems.

Pics, so it DID HAPPEN!

Next Post - Review Rampage List, and Games.

I thought the second list was your league 20. My bad!

There is a severe lack of Seraph on your to do list. Rectify this.

I can't wait to see what you put on the table, especially your take on Lupe.  Are you planning on sticking with a traditional Nomad Red?

Not running it, I'm running the OFCC Xwing events in July, whiiiiich also means I have to skip the ITS there this year.  LOL.

Blargh. Same day as the Dice Age Xwing Store Champs. I cannae be in two places at once, captain! Probably have to miss this, sadly.

So I suppose I should get to this log thing.  I picked up Icestorm back shortly after it came out, but took about a year to get it together.  Suddenly, tragically, and somewhat dramatically, WFB imploded.  After the summer off, the Precipitation Canine announced that he would be starting up an escalation league.  Well, there was the opportunity, to learn something new, to play more games with a few kindred souls, and to enjoy my hobby again!  This Blog will serve to track progress with this hobby project, in a twofold effort - to play more, and paint more!

I've been on an assembly kick lately, having a backlog of Nomads to assemble for the wife (future blog opp? maybe).  The painted and based section is the list I ran at Rampage.  My Bolt sniper has a couple wear spots, looks like the clear coat didn't take as well as I wanted.  As for models on deck, to finish rounding out my NCA, I need for the following:

Fusilier/ML

Fusilier/MSR

Fusilier Angus

Bolt/Spitfire

Bolt/ML

Bolt/BS

Swiss Guard ML

Aquila MULTI

Aquila HMG

CSU

Trauma Doc (as much as it pains me)

Next Update:  Pics or it didn't happen.

Gratz!

There absolutely is! Sunday nights are on a 2 week break, Super Bowl and Valentines Day don't exactly mesh well with wargaming, so we will be back on the 21st.

Welcome to Ordo! I'm Exile, one of our Senators.

Where in North Portland are you located? I live in Vancouver, just across the bridge to the north, and play primarily at Dice Age Games here in Vancouver. If you are talking 9th Age, I am definitely interested in trying that system out, and have several existing 'generic Fantasy' armies to use.

We shall play "The Armory"!

Dibs.

I agree with Jay,  We've already seen this with Mobile Brigada, Bolts, Alguaciles, Akalis and others.  I'd be willing to bet some of the USAridana stuff is off the same "torso frame" + arms + head scheme that you see in the models listed earlier.  Makes me hope for a bitchin ORC box.

On another note, it is quite nice to have a Combi+Light Shotgun profile for the nisses now too.  If only I could bits order the regular head in addition to the hacker head.

Guardian Game's Store Championship is Saturday, Feb 6th.  Dice Age, in Vancouver, is having theirs on Saturday, March 26th.

Funny how my brain works, I sit on my brushes for 3 months, and then 3 days before a tournament, this happens:

This week consisted of re-discovering my jar of white pumice and applying it.  I then basecoating in brown violet, khaki, leadbelcher, brass, and red. Basecoated and drybrushed the bases.  Clean ups, and a wash on 4 of the models.  Tonight was LoF lines, cleanup of basecoat mess, and a bit of wash on others.  I should wash tonight, so it will be dry enough to hopefully clearcoat tomorrow (today, lol).

More pictures to follow, perhaps from

RAMPAGE!!!

Welp, that'll do.  The wonders of having a gaming loving wife - Minis are acceptable as part of a birthday present!

Go Seth Go!

Should be plenty, Erik.

Change of plans, Jen's last day before term starts. Will see you gentlemen Saturday!

Smart move, knowing how this city deals with fluffy white stuff. Not the kind RD encounters in a regular basis, that is.

I'll be there, schedule is now clear of family, work, and other events!  Got a rampage-ish list to try.  Sadly, will probably be silver-surferish this year.  Sooooo many choices and new models  (and yes, i did order the new father knight, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm).

Showing my super nerd card here: The Kessel Run in the Star Wars universe is a spice smuggler's route through a treacherous network of black holes and Star systems that pose a risk to ships traveling through hyperspace. Less than 12 parsecs refers to the distance of the route that Han and Chewie took through this network, breaking a long held record.

RD is seeing Star Wars, lucky devil, but WoW will still be open! Come on and Game! Doors open at 4:00

Rd is seeing Star Wars. I am running Game Night, table space open for other stuff, or just come and hang out!

Doors open at 4:00

So. I would be willing to Czar and fill in for RD if it would be beneficial to you gentlemen - Jay/Nate/Evan? What say you? Starting @4 as per usual?
