Adepticon Day 4 and Wrap up

Probably my favorite thing from the Crystal Brush

Day 4

I finally get a good night of sleep. I arrive at the Malifaux masters and we started soon as all 8 of us made it there. I didn't take any pictures as I tried to make sure I did not make any mistakes. Of course I still did. Game one I played against Shawn who I beat in round 2 the day before. This time I won 8-2 and would have gotten 8-0 if we could have finished the last turn. We skip lunch and keep going, I face outcasts in the semi-finals. The mission is deliver the message his schemes are eye for an eye and kill protege, mine are sabotage and kill protege. My plan is to get sabotage off and kill my master so he cannot get the points from the mission and kill Cassandra so he cannot get kill protege. I move up Cassandra to set off sabotage but I do it in a way she cannot come back to my side of the board. She is shot down in a hail of fire and I cannot do the plan I had. With her down and 8 billion gremlins after me I lose the round 6-2. Andrew the guy I was playing was a lot of fun and went on to win it all. I spent the rest of the day just messing around and resting as by this point I was half dead.

Wrap up

So another Adepticon down. I had a ton of fun and I am planning on going next year. In total in Malifaux I went 5-3-1 so for only having one person to play against in my area I guess we are doing it right. I plan on next year to play different games I bought most of a Warmachine army while I was there and plan on bring it and my lord of the rings. I also plan on not doing any serious events, even though I had great games against great people, I think I would enjoy just playing in story events or doing pick up games for Warmachine. Next year I plan on getting VIG tickets again just because I will be getting a shirt and glass anyways so it is worth it for me. Post in the comments if you have any good stories from adepticon to tell as I would love to hear them!

Adepticon Review Day 3

The evil pigapult

The start of day 3 a wake up, with around 4 hours of sleep. I know this will cost me in the long run. I get to the Malifaux Master Qualifier with plenty of time though. Game 1 was against Avatar Somer gremlins, I take Colette as it is shared destroy the evidence. Cassandra grabs the neutral evidence first move of the game and I out run him to the rest, he did get Body Guard and 2 of his evidence markers, 8-4. Game two was against Rasputina and after learning how bad Rasputina did on this mission the last qualifier I take Ramos. After a hard fight I win the mission 5-2. Game 3 I find myself at the top table versus Avatar Ramos, and I take him myself. I made a lot of mistakes that I wouldn't have made if I had more sleep and lost the game 0-8. This knocks me down to 10th place. I stay around for the awards and get in the Masters due to people that cannot play or already qualified.

Ramos getting all 8 points himself

After the masters I go back to the room and veg out for awhile. Then I check on my friend I am rooming with playing Warhammer. At this time he was 1-1 losing the second game due to his wizard blowing up turn 1. I take some pictures of it and then some of the Crystal Brush. Just talking and goofing off the rest of the day I finally head to bed around 11pm while watching discovery channel.

 The biggest unit of Rat Ogres I have ever seen.

 I love the Forge World Dragon

 I love the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!

Changes ahead

Well after letting this blog sit way too long without updates, it's time to get things rolling. Now that I am back in school, this will be a great place to keep up on my work and start using html more. I have a ton of painted stuff to post up as soon as I can take more pictures.

One of the major things I am doing right now is going on a buying freeze after I get 35 points of Khador. I will no longer buy any miniatures till I paint a army for every system I play. I have sold my Chaos Marines so I do not even have a painted 40k army. Right now I am finishing my Lothlorien army for Lord of the Rings. Then I plan on doing a 40k unit then a fantasy unit. After that I will work on either some Warmachine or Malifaux. I will continue to keep this up till all of it is painted. Not buying anything will be hard, but if I can get everything painted I will feel better about my collection. I will keep this update with my progress. Wish me luck!

The Orcs and Goblins are back

Well with the soon to be release of 8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy I once again have gotten in the mood to play Fantasy again after a long break. So I broke out all my Orc and Goblin models and tried to figure out where to go from there.

Almost all of the Orcs together

After taking out all my models I realised that I had a lot of work in head of me. A lot of the models I painted different times in my gaming years so none of the paint really looked the same. Also, from sitting around not protected a good amount of things have been broken. So before I can start painting I will be stripping all the orcs back down to plastic and repair all the broken models I can.

The Magic Stuff

All the Orc soaking away

Next Week I'll show the progress of the orcs soaking and talk about my thoughts with the Orcs and Goblins when it comes to 8th edition.
