38 Bases Finished

And now all I have to do is finish the models to put on top. :)

It's the Monday before Adepticon

And there's still so much to do.

I have to finish the Flesh Tearers, of course, and I need to finish the display.

I'll get it done, but it'll be tight. Yay for procrastination.

Okay, I lolled.

I'm still unsure about the Grey Knight baby bjorn known as the Dreadknight, but this amused me so much, I to share. Credit for the pic goes to juraigamer on Dakka.

Things have spiraled out of control

I was pricing Apothecary bits this morning, and the cheapest place I found them after a casual search?

Games-workshop.com

I can buy a RARE OOP APOTHERCARY (poor spelling intentional) from GW for $11.50 + tax. Or I can spend $3.00 more for one I'd have to soak in Simple Green for three months to get all the smick off it.

When did it come to this? :)

What's Ruining My Hobby Today: Blood Bowl

It's 43 days until Adepticon.

My army isn't painted, and neither is my display board. Why?

Friggin' Blood Bowl on the PC. I'll admit, it's addictive. I'd forgotten how much I'd liked the game, and having access to all the teams, all the time, without painting them up is too easy to pass up.

I realize I'm late on this train, but I want to put my voice out there as a proponent of this title. I haven't played the real-time mode. Why would I? The translation from board game to PC is seamless, and the ability to organize matches anytime I want is the bee's knees.

If you were on the fence about this game before, buy it.

Convention Mania

This Twilight Fan is the Avatar of "Convention Mania."

I just realized that I really will be at three cons this year.

Adepticon, Gencon Indy, and the Nova Open, which went from tourney to con in a year's time.

In addition, the Inner Circle's Sausage Fest -complete with actual sausage, and not just the implied kind- is coming up soon, in just 20 days, in-fact. I've got a few other trips planned as well, mostly camping trips. This May-June, I'll be camping three weekends straight, with the last weekend being a hike on the Appalachian trail.

All that, and I've got 15 credits, and I have to find a (better) part time job. There's a ton of work to do, but I can't wait to start.

25th Anniversary Battletech Boxed set

Part of me can't help but feel nostalgic.

The printing proofs for the new Battletech intro set are in the hands of the publishers, and are (possibly) soon to be approved. They mentioned being in the company's warehouse in February.

For those who have forgotten what a Thor and a Loki look like, take a gander at these preview pics from October 2009. I love 'em. Hopefully, they go the plastic route with all the Omnimechs. It's far more profitable that way, in my humble opinion.
