Progress Report 10/9/16 - Dakk Ulves n' Masks ahoy.

Welcome intrepid reader(s) to another short "what the hell has Randroid been doing" update. In short... homework!! Started working on obtaining some type of Art/Illustration degree and it has kept me busy with paintings and digital editing/creation.

Also managed to get my arse kicked in at Chaos Cup. Finished 1/2/3. Still hate elves.

Me losing Game 1 (I think)

Me losing Game 6

My team losing every possible painting award

Some additional photographic evidence of my terrible team is needed? Ask and ye shall receive:

Game 1 vs Vampires. They just felt like beating me not eating me.

Game 2 vs Lizards. So much Strength and Movement!! Lost the tie on the last turn.

Game 3 vs Undead. Snuck away on Turn 8 for my only win of the event. 

Game 4 vs Orcs. The Assassin finally managed to CAS someone with a stab!

Game 5 vs Dark Elves. Just a tie (this coach dropped out after this game)

Game 6 vs Chaos Pact. I just realized all these games are in the wrong order.

Things I learned - Dark Elves can pull some Elf shit when they feel like it. Witches with Blodge and Side Step are filth and were worth every GP I spent. Assassin was fun and soaked up a lot of blocks and attention (keeping them off my Witches) but Stab (even Multi-stab) didn't do a lot. And finally my dice luck is still incredibly bad. 

I also spent a good chunk of change on a pile of old pewter GW/etc miniatures (some Oldhammer stuff and other assorted things) from a long time collector who was selling off some of his collection to help pay medical bills. A sad thing but I tried to give some of his collection a good home! Look for them to appear here as I find a use for them. 

While at the tournament I also finally tried out the SRG Super Show wrestling card game that folks have been playing for a year or so. Turns out it is fast to play and fun to boot! Furry and myself have already started up a card wrestling league here back home. The KCWF. You can read about it here. 

Who is the masked man???

And the past few weeks I have been working on my This Is Not A Test 2x2 terrain squares in preparation for the hardbound rules book which should be arriving any day now. Got my first tile built and primed and I am working on my second now. And there is a Tale of X Warlords Age of Sigmar event going on at the local game store which I am participating in with my Nurgle forces. No photos of any of that at the moment so you'll just have to take my word for it. Til next time...

Progress Report 9/2/16 - Headed out to Chaos Cup.

It's that time again!? Chaos Cup!!! This year I am bringing Dark Elves and I even managed to finish painting them. It was a slapdash bit of a job. Partly because I didn't have the urge to paint these models and partly because all of their details are so damn small!! Still they turned out acceptable which is what I was aiming for. 

Here we have the two Runners and one Assassin 

Followed by 3 Blitzers (though one will be playing a Line elf this time out)

And the only reason to play Dark Elves - 2 Witch Elves! 

Finally we have the remaining 3 Line elves

I played one practice game against Furry's Chaos Dwarfs and we tied 1-1. Things I need to remember for the tournament this weekend: Shadowing on the Assassin, asking if my opponent will follow the block on the sidestep pieces, and that even the Line elves have AG 4!! 

For 6 games I am hoping for 3-2-1 but would settle for wins and ties to outnumber losses. I'm not looking for another Wooden Spoon award from Chaos Cup (already got that one in 2014).  

I also painted up another member for the Chaos Cup Legacy Team - a Thrall! 

A Reaper Bones mini I cut a lot of stuff off. I think he looks alright. 

Now it's time to pack up and hit the road for another fun Bloodbowl event with fine folks!
