Last Minute Shatterpoint Adepticon Prep

And the worst Fiancee of the year award goes to…. Me. I didn’t end up working this past weekend so I could stay home and take care of Yams who had dental surgery on Friday. That being said, she said she was doing perfectly fine. So, when the opportunity presented itself to play she said I could go. She really is the best. Now, was this a test, maybe. Did I fail this test, most definitely. But, I did get…

Back to the Pitch!!! Guild Ball Battle Report

Gosh darn do I love this game. I haven’t had hype in a long time that was as large as dusting off my Guild ball models. This was technically my second miniatures game but my first game that I actually intended to play (40k being the first technically). Unfortunately though, I got into this game like right after it died. Then because it ended so poorly no one wanted to even think about playing a guild ball game. So, I…

More Adepticon Painting Prep

Sorry upfront, I’m really bad about taking pictures of the process. This is like a side hobby of a side hobby for me after all. Also, who knows if Yams will ever get around to writing something which is hilarious because we did this for her. Regardless, let’s look at my tabletop ready paint jobs. Mixed emotions about this guy. Pretty happy with the end product, but was not a smooth ride. Making the transition from sloppy slap chop back…

Star Wars Shatterpoint Battle Report 3/11/24

The week before Adepticon is here and I decided to get my first true rep in with the list I’m bringing. That being said I’m just doing the casual event so I would’ve shown up with zero reps and not cared. I’ll be trying to master Plo/Padme over the course of the weekend. My opponent is going to be doing Vader 1/ Asajj at Adepticon but before I knew that I had asked him to maybe not bring Vader1 or…

My Adepticon Golden Demon Entry Piece

First and foremost, definitely just kidding. I am a tabletop standard painter and I dislike most Warhammer soooo golden demon will never happen. Regardless, a couple days ago I figured it was time to decide what I’m doing for adepticon so I could start painting for it. I was really involved in school so I missed the cutoff for event registration. I couldn’t quite figure out how to register anyway. My buddy who is also going told me I could…

Painting Nord Ugr for Conquest.

This’ll probably be a quick one. I’ve had my eye on painting up the UGR for a while. For one thing, there’s only 6 of them instead of the 24 raiders I recently finished. They’re also so large that I knew I could slap-chop them all in a few hours. First I knocked out all of their skin tones. Man am I in love with this colour. I didn’t end up using this one for the trolls I did a…

Painting Nord Raiders for Conquest

I think Conquest (First Blood & Last Argument of Kings) are good games but not amazing games, for me personally. What has kept me playing, though, has really been these models. Our group has said time and again how these models are just awesome, and they’re huge! Their website pictures just don’t do these models justice either. Several times I got a unit for gameplay that I thought was so-so and then after I was done assembling them I was…
