Cross posted everywhere. Enjoy peeps

So yah, if you been to my blogspot, you can see some of the pictures Ive taken, but 'ere we go, a loosely accurate count of what I did in one year!

Finished my Tau army, about 200 figures give or take, sold off about half of them, stripped the other half and repainted them.

about 300 space marines, six rhinos, three dreadnaughts and other odds and ends.

Warhammer Fantasy Dwarf army, mostly built, primered and with base colors, not really finished, but hey this is my 'take time and enjoy it army'
recently aquired fantasy ork army and undead army as well. All told about 2000 models in varying states of assembly, primer and paint.

House Kamata Battletech cannon(ish) unit, about a understrength company give or take a few minis.

Warmachine Protectorate of Menoth: The Freshmakers! assembled and kinda working on now. about 10 models there. So yah, all I can say is.... good sweet christ my hands man!

Currently enjoying some internet time here at my brothers house, doing laundry and what have you. Did some Jaegerbombs earlier I lost count at number three. Went outside to check my dryers time, and the fog was so thick you can barely see past ten feet. So peaceful and relaxing. Nobody is out on the road as they are sleeping off their hangovers.

A weird and serene thing to see and hear.

In gaming news should have my warmachine army doneish by the end of the week. So heres to hoping that kicks off inspiration for painting.

Happy new years peoples, hope everybody has a good night, and lets hope the new year is worth a damn unlike these past two!

And heh, the gunfire was supringly light this year.

Resolution #1: World Domination.

Resolution #2: More painting

Resolution #3: Develop a meaningfull relationship with a local friend

Had fun last night, had dinner with a few friends of mine, ate myself silly and enjoyed some good company, also got some artwork from the most excelent Redrodent and friends, so cheers to you all!

Was a good night last night. Now I just need to see if I can get my dad and stepmom to play Munchkin: Call of Cuthulu on Christmas!

Saw this movie with the most excelent Redrodent.

Visuals were awesome, had pseudo macro blue cat people vs giant robot suits of awesome and win. If it were not for the amount of people there, I would have dropped trou and started master baiting to the visuals right then and there.

however I am tired of the 'humans bad m'kay' story arcs that have been popping up in sci fi movies lately. It just smelled of anti western culture so bad, I half expected Osama Bin Laden to pop up and start spewing his rhetoric, so overall.

Visuals were an 11 on a scale of 1-10
story and plot, about a 4ish pushing 5 maybe. Its one of those things that is hard to define as far as what annoyed me about the plot line cameron decided to use. I wouldve been happier if it was a third alien race that came in causing hell and only the power of hot nearly nude blue cat people, with those giant robot suits of awesome and win would save the day.

So yah, I was sporting wood for all the wrong reasons while watching this movie ^_^

So over the past few months, when I have been able to buy plastic crap from GW, as well as their codex army books and what have you, I have noticed a hideous problem. The quality we all expect from them, is apparently no longer part of their buisness plan. I dont fault them for wanting to make a profit, I really dont. But when I pay $30 dollars for a codex book, and the damn thing looses its binding after the second week of me owning it, somthing is wrong. And its not just a case of bad luck, every person at our soon to be gone FLGS has bought a GW codex, and had pages fall out of it about a week after they bought said book.

The plastics Ive noticed seem to be off too, mainly in the Space Marine department. The backpacks have a casting flaw, and some Ive bought, or seen have had deformed hands and in once case, a head that was hideously deformed.

So, who else here have noticed this problem in your area?


That aside, I got a battlebox of Orcs, some goblin spider riders and the Orc Warboss kit as an early christmas gift, which rocks. Im allready thinking of color schemes, and its a toss up between red, or yellow. Will post crap as usual when I am able to.

I also got a few friends here some gifts which I intend to post when they are painted/assembled

Not much going on, spent most of the day downloading updates and being annoyed by my niece and nephew here at my brothers house. Will be having christmas earlier in the month due to my brothers family heading back east to visit with his wifes kin, so *shrug* who knows what will happen

May your turkey fail its armor save and you enjoy some delicious turkeyfex

So halloween was quiet, spent most of the day at a friends house playing DDO, Then went home, painted while watching some movies and general meh crap.

Should have Spikedpunches assault termies stripped soon, then I need to pick up some white primer and I can start painting them. Once I get those done, I will start work on the necromunda stuff he sent me.

Managed to sell off all my spacemarines, while nowhere near the ammount I would have liked to have sold them for, its ok as I did get a little bit of cash for them which helps. May have sombody interested in buying my trashbag o bitz soon which would be nice to get it all away.

Anyway, enjoy your leftover candies and chat with you guys soonish. Should have more pictures up as well!

Yup, I know this because I got  a sunburn on my dick and its near winter....

in other news painting has been slowly going along. Right now I am asshole deep amongst Yugioh players at the shop and I dont have a wand of hygine.

Other than that, meh. No work yet, so lets hope somthing pops up soon.

I did get my state aid crap finalized, go in for a meeting on the upcoming third. Havnt seen any new movies lately, not even zombieland, but thats ok I will wait till its out on DVD to see it

So I want to talk with you guys about somthing that every tabletop wargamer has had to deal with at one point or another.

So earlier while waiting for the shop to open, one of the other regulars showed up, I was showing him my work, handed him a few of my plastic dwarves, eventully I handed him my slayer, I was in the process of putting a figure away, when I look back, he is picking up my slayer he dropped on the asphalt. Its arm broken off, paint chipped and dented in a few areas. So I am pissed, but its not that bad. So, I have compiled some mini ettiqute procedures.

1. ASK BEFORE YOU TOUCH! Simple enough right? Im guilty of this, but mainly I ask as I am reaching for the mini to oogle and paw at. So no touchie and pickey up with out permission, 'kay?

2. If I hand you a mini to look at, or if I have allowed you to touch said mini, dont treat it like its one of your used fuck socks ok? Myself, and a few others here at the shop have had that nightmare moment when somebody starts banging around the table with said mini, or treating it like a book shelf to balance heavier items on. So generaly if this happens, I belive you should be allowed to punch the offending fucker in the face after a single verbal warning along the lines of "KNOCK IT OFF ASSHOLE!"

3. If sombody asks you how you did your paint job, dont be a dick and make brush stroaking motions while stating you added paint. We are not after your trophy for best painter, if we all learn how to do this better, then it enhances the hobby ok? Usually if sombody asks me, I will tell them how to achive the same thing I did, not too hard of a discussion as my painting style is not that hard to replicate.

4. When building models, and you have a communal hobby tool set that everybody uses, dont fuck up the glue pots kthnx, its a waste of glue, the shop has to pay for it in the long run and you end up with a stalagmite of crap that an arc welder couldnt remove.

So these are my ettiquite tips for handling these little toy soldiers, common sense really, but hey some people are lacking such.

nothing much to report, doing laundry today at my dad and stepmoms place, so I can hop online and bum internets while my clothes are in the wash.

Thus far not a whole lot really outside of looking for work, and hey Ive been painting a crap ton. I am doing a thing on the 30th and 31st involving lots and lots of zombies for other players to deal with, should be fun if I can get at least six people to show up and play.

Anyway, back to your regularly schedualed porn viewings

AHHA!

Kinda back, some local friends were nice enough to loan me their power cable for my laptop, so I will be online a little more often than usual.

 Might as well be. Little to no work at all. So I am in essence screwed on the job front as I am stuck in the state of California, and much like rats trying to escape a sinking burning ship most of the work around here has abandoned us.

Aside from that doing ok, started up a Vampire Counts army for Warhammer Fantasy, considering how low the funds are I lucked out getting that play money when I did.

In other sad news, our local Firebase here in town will be changing owners on December, but nobody really feels all to thrilled about the change of owners, mainly as the new owners are a bunch of self serving ponces who are only considered with smelly yughio players.

Sorry for the lack of an update, been busy feeling like crap ontop of general shennanigans so bear with me.

So with the release of Planetstrike I picked up the book on Saturday and read to my hearts content, not too bad, some interesting concepts but its still city fight mixed in with apocolypse with a dash of 2nd and 3rd edition thrown in for good measure. I wouldve liked it if it had more stuff for the other armys, the Tau one which is kinda nifty in a limited way....is ok, along with the other races. But while everybody for the most part got one extra option that was army specific, the Imperial Guard or Imperial faction (Imp Guard and Space Marines) got a crap ton, thats fine, but would it have been too hard to like, throw in some extra ones for each race? Anyway, I give it a solid 2 1/2 out of 5, mainly as it is a repackaged cities of death book with terrain and what nots added. However the missions are good, but lets hope they do somthing with it.

If you play a Planet Strike game, dont make it apocolypse sized, tone it down to 1250 points and you may be suprised.

As far as the forts, see the same as above, for once I dunno GW do somthing for the other races...just a little? Some Tau bunkers would be awesome. Mainly as I cant find the right crap you guys have in your wharehouse. Sorry minor divergance there.

I suspect that as the new army books are released they might add in the Planet Strike stuff along with it, but then again, the company we are talking about does tend to ignore our requests regardless of how many people ask for said items.

Overall its not to bad of a release, I just feel a little cheated as far as content goes, but that may lift over time.

Thanks for not pulling out dad!
