Completed Projects

completed-projects

This weekend the light was just right and the domestic chores were sufficiently completed to allow time for picture taking.  Finally, I present to you my completed figures:
A Comfy Carry Case

Sabol’s Army Transport (purchased from The Warstore as a Warmachine / Hordes special), carries my entire army, including accessories.  Sadly, half the foam trays are [...]

Awards Season

December 22, 2008

awards-season

The Golden Globes?  Pathetic.  The VGAs?  Meritless.  Mighty Marvel No-prizes? They’re okay, but not as good as…
The First Annual GG’s! (I think the Geekies was taken)
Please note that these are purely my opinion.  They are also solely concerned with geek crap only.  Let’s hope my esteemed co-blogger contributes his own “best of” list at some [...]

Keeping Occupied

December 18, 2008

keeping-occupied

‘Tis the season to be busy.  Gift shopping, social engagements and familial responsibilities all put a damper on gaming opportunities.  This weekend, the drought will lift a bit and we’ll be able to continue our oh-so-slow D&D campaign.  Meanwhile, two things compete for my available time: Fallout 3 and figure painting.
I don’t want to think [...]

Math is Hard!

December 5, 2008

math-is-hard

Why the hell, hours after playing a match and drifting off to sleep , would I suddenly remember that I should have paid more attention to the math?  Why couldn’t I have remembered the accumulating damage of the Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team’s Chain Fire ability when they were pouring fire into the towering [...]

Storm Before the Calm

November 23, 2008

storm-before-the-calm

Kinda sucks how life, specifically the “work” bits, interferes with the fun parts. I’ve got a bit of a winning streak going with my Haley armies, but it looks like due to scheduling issues, I may not be able to capitalize on my success for at least a month. I’ll miss the start [...]

I Didn’t Lose!

November 7, 2008

i-didnt-lose

Mark Thursday, November 6th, 2008 on your calendars, dear friends. For it was upon that day that your humble blogger finally succeeded in not losing a game of Warmachine. I got in two games last night, drawing on the first (as my opponent had to leave), and winning the second by concession.
First match: Cygnar vs. [...]

1643, yet 0 and 12

1643-yet-0-and-12

I get that it takes a while to learn a new game.  I also understand that it takes even longer to become good at any game not to mention being able to win consistently.  What I don’t grok is why I have yet to win a single game of Warmachine.  I have my suspicions, which [...]

Mixing it Up

October 6, 2008

mixing-it-up

Yesterday was educational. I pitted my newest Warmachine army build up once against The Legion of Everblight (ugh) and twice against Cryx (finally!). The less said about the former the better (Shredders are fucking gross and I underestimated them greatly), but the latter games were very interesting.
We decided that our first match would [...]

The Alchemist

September 22, 2008

the-alchemist

What power in the universe can transform base plastic in shiny metal? Why, the desire to obtain more Warmachine figures, of course! Yesterday, I headed down to the Dueling Grounds for my bi-weekly drubbing and, lovely assistant Stu in tow, unloaded a few old D&D Miniatures and came away with a goodly amount [...]

Red-Headed Stepchild; Part 2

September 11, 2008

red-headed-stepchild-part-2

I didn’t arrive as early as I’d like, but as luck would have it, there were a good number of Warmachine players at Dueling Grounds last Sunday.  This was also the first day of the 8 week league, so I paid my 15 bucks and headed downstairs.  A young guy named Luke was looking for [...]
