A good tournament to me is a showcase of the hobby. If it's intended to be a store event with a big billing, having painted armies of all levels on the tables shows new people the scope of the hobby.

Kittens. At least they were kittens...

I've got some stuff I need to pick up, it's only been there for 6 months...

Wouldn't WFB now be in the Specialist range? Hmm...

Moving out this weekend. At least I don't have a lot to move. More totes of gaming stuff than clothes! lol. They are away at the beach so at least my kids won't be there to watch.

Is the steak still cheap?

32 is the new 25 as far as I'm concerned.

This isn't a sudden revelation, this has been a long road that has already had a separation, counseling, other efforts. We both agreed despite these things we still weren't happy. Rather than keep up with our roller coaster cycle we decided better to end before we get so bitter that it gets nasty or worse we affect the kids. Still hurts though. But we both deserve to be happy.

I'm most worried about my kids. That was the hardest thing was to tell them. They didn't take it well when we told them, but they seem to be dealing with it ok. I'm sure it will be difficult when I finally move out at the end of the month. The irony is she and I are getting along better than we have in months. We are putting the kids first, and we will still be a team for them. There is so far no issues dividing up finances and things, as I'm the one who has to move (we currently live on the family farm, so it would be weird for her to move) I do get a freshish start, and I get to practice woodworking while I build myself some furniture.

At least it's not ugly. And the good news is that I can get some D&D in. I feel like I've failed, but the fact is we just weren't right anymore. So when I post here it's for therapy.

Managed to get a bit more done. Pants painted and browns and reds washed with Vallejo Oiled Earth thinned with my flow aid mix (Vallejo Airbrush thinner and Liquitex Flo-Aid). This flowaid mix helps the wash into the cracks and keep from pooling so bad.

When I've got 7 editions of rules in my head and then having to remember my formations rules and some of the other weirdness to deal with, and then have to keep track of what my opponent has, a single CAD with formations/flyers stricken sounds like a splendid afternoon.

Old Skool League would be fun. A much easier, casual game...

Look for a good Elvis pompadore wig.

How about a bit of step by step? I'll keep it light. These boyz were primed black, then preshaded with a mid grey and white for the highlights with the ol' airbrush: Super contrasty! Then comes the red. This is airbrushed over the preshading with nothing else done to it:

Does she qualify for robot overlording yet?

@Westrider: that's what they want you to think...

Who took the picture!?!?! Or what...?

Why aren't the orks listed by volume? I was partial to "1 gallon of Boyz"

Our prayers are with her.

Super cool!

Wrapped up this trukk for da Boyz. To be fair it was mostly finished, it just needed detail and weathering:

Yup it's been a while. Life won for time so... I did manage to get this unit of Boyz done:
