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!

More stuff Ive been working on, enjoy.

I think, birthday is this monday too...I have now gone hurtling through time and space faster than a flash of light and snuggled deeply with crotchety

right ear still feels like I am in a tunnel, and getting a very very weird after echo effect when people talk. So yah, this is a new and unique sensation that is not one bit pleasant.

Nothing much else to report, boredom, lack of work and just a meh attitude towards finishing the crap I own paint wise.

It'll pass, saw Startrek, awesome movie, and I will probably see Termie salvation

ended up going to the hospital a few hours after my last post. Ear was so bad I couldnt think let alone walk. The docs at Mercy Southwest belive that is an ear infection, so I got some painkillers and antibiotics for my troubles. So wheeee, Vicodin for the win....now to ride the mellow high

My kiss of death with machines struck again, 360 is down with the red ring of death, that and I think I either got an ear infection, or somthing else popped up, regardless I feel like total crap and I have this weird sensation of being in a tunnle.

Aside from that, not much else, still painting and lookin for work, if I can figure out a way to make a bot type one of 12 random messages it can appear that I am online regularly

http://clansittingducks.blogspot.com/

here ya guys go. We are getting a Necromunda tournament up and running.

Still around, same shit different post.

A local gaming buddy of mine has given me a metric crap ton of AD&D 2nd Ed books as well as several Rifts and other Palladium RPG books, thanks to his awesomeness I managed to get the entire After the Bomb RPG series.

Still been painting, made some extra funds which is nice, lets hope it keeps going.

Sorry if I havnt been online, all last week the shop was on weird hours with one of the owners at GAMA in Vegas for the week, when the weekend hit their router wasnt working properly.

Just been busy keeping my house clean, and trying to sell off my marines or my Tau.

Aside from that things are going ok, had a problem last week with a guy who commisioned me to paint his army, turns out that in his magical fantasy land, four weeks = to 6, ontop of his anti semetic comments, his constant pestering and general douche bagginess I wasnt to fond of this guy, so this last sunday he walks in the shop with his Stompa, says he wants his stuff back and in exchange he wants me to paint up said stompa and we would be even, he would give me an extra 30 bucks for assembly and that was fine too, it wasnt till he said that he found sombody who could paint better and faster than I could when I got pissed. So I painted his Stompa....Pink is a shade of Red right?

Wrote some colorfull things on the hull and added some swazies on the Ork Kaptians hat and about 17 or so coats of paint (in 30 minutes no less) his stompa was done. Fugly and an abomination against god, but it was done in about an hour with assembly. So he gets his stompa back, pissed that I didnt finish building it (I didnt assemble the grotz nor put the hoses and ammo bin on the thing) so here I am at the shop, surfing the net, catching up on stuff Ive missed over the week when, one of the shop regulars hurriedly walks over from the gaming tables and tells me that he says 'Look at this thing, it looks really cool!"


Jesus christ beans and rice.

So Im hanging out at my local firebase when three kids come in and hanging out around the place. After a few minutes one of them steals my pack of marlboro reds and all three of them book it, myself and 8 other local guys rush out, two amongst us apparently were rolling 6's for their fleet rolls durring the shooting phase, the rest of us had slow but purposefull and were rolling a respectfull 2 per turn in the movement. We loose sight of two of the kids, the third comes walking by infront of the building saying how he didnt steal anything. We corner him and I place him under citizens arrest.

He is fighting with me while I hold him, so I keep him restrained with the help of the local DM Matt, he's screaming we are hurting him, he cant breath all the while screaming about how we are raping him and what have you. Steve calls up the police and they show up shortly afterwards, we find out that one other was captured and my smokes returned, however the other kid has a warrent out for his arrest, the police officers asked us questions and who was a witness, the rest of the crew raise their hands and state the same thing I did, all three cops are reading this kid the riot act and we head back to the shop where I find out that my pizza was delivered while I was restraining the kid and the shop paid for the food.
So the entire time while we were out there, we were cracking jokes and this kid was crying by the time we left.

Didnt press any charges, his family should hopefully beat his ass for doing what he did.

just so you know my internet is down, will only be able to log in every so often to check messages and what have you.
