Fluff for the Fluff God!


Well we made it back from Aggieland without a problem. The weekend went well for Tamara, and I had a pretty OK time as well. I got to cruise around and check out a Half Price Books I hadn't been to before. I am usually on the lookout for older, OOP paperbacks and current codices/army books on the cheap. Well this weekend was good for me I got one of each!


Codex: Daemonhunters

Army Book: Ogre Kingdoms

Plus I got an anthology book with a lot of the big names in Black Library. All in all, a pretty good weekend.

Deathwatch: Who are we?

As a response to John's reply of my post, I got to thinking of which chapter each of us would choose if we were to make character for the Deathwatch RPG. So this is what I came up with. Please consider tongue firmly in cheek.

First, me. Well I'm sure it will come as no surprise to anyone that I would make a Space Wolf. According to the web site.

The Battle-Brothers of the Space Wolves are ferocious and aggressive warriors. Though far from mindless berserkers, they are certainly possessed of a feral exuberance for battle. They have an overriding sense of duty and honour, and are driven ever onwards by a strong desire to right the many wrongs that have befallen the Imperium of Man since the heady days of the Great Crusade. Space Wolves exhibit a fierce sense of loyalty to their comrades in arms and this is on occasion extended to their compatriots in other branches of the Imperium’s military.
This all really appeals to me. Well that and I'm too bloody predictable and generally unoriginal to pick something else.

To all the people I used to work for...

FYI. NOT WORK/KID FRIENDLY!

Time to Cowboy Up!

Well I finally did it. I finished my 10 warriors. It only took me a couple hours, and was no big deal. I think they look pretty good. I don't have any pics because Tamara is off to Brazil this week for Dell.

I figure that this week I'll finish the last 10 warriors. With Tamara gone, I'll probably have a bit on my time on my hands. I think I'm getting jazzed up to finish the Dwarfs (or at least jazzed up to be on to something different).

FAIL!


So I didn't make my goal this week. I didn't quite finish up my 10 warriors. I'm close, but I still have to do their bases, do a black wash, and then paint in the horns of their helmets.

I think I'm getting a bit burned out of painting the dwarfs. I didn't do any painting Monday or Tuesday, then went out to play D&D with some guys from work on Wednesday. But I think the main reason I wasn't able to finish my Dwarfs this week was the fact that the site looks like ass. :)

Sly Marbo move over..

The next Warhammer Army will be unstoppable.


Sure it's just one model, but with several hundred fists. And an entire army book full of special rules.

Anyone else think power creep is getting out of hand NOW?

These Dorfs musta been Korean Linguists...

I present to you, my most favorite x-mas present of 2009, the Drunk Dwarfs.





Inspiration for my Guard





Took the boys to Camp Mabry today to watch a WW2 re-enactment.

I have a Slann!




Well, not really, but the Lizards are ready when you guys are....

We may need to change up the graphics

With everyone shuffling armies, we may need to change up Oxymoron graphics.
Calvin is doing the sisters, so I supose he should have...
John is going to Black Templars
or IG
And Tom is back to Ultramarines.
And Jason... oh I guess Jason is still busy playing WoW.
And for my blue, non-space pup marines.
OK. Need to whip up a graphic with all that in it.

This image has nothing to do with my post...



So tonight the Farsight Enclave suffered a massive defeat against the forces of the Biel-Tan Swordwind. The brave Eldar stemmed the tide of imperial aggression of the destructive T'au Empire. Moments before the battle actually began, the Eldar Farseer in command of the war host commented on how lucky the opening stages of the battle had been for them when the T'au railguns were so effectively neutralized allowing the mechanized Eldar force to sweep across the battlefield unopposed.

Shas'O Vior'la Shovah Kais Mont'yr rapidly redeployed his forces, leaving the battlefield to the Eldar. O'Shovah's proximity to an Imperial shrine resulted in a rapid response force from the nearby Sororitas chapter of Our Lady of the Sacred Martyred Heart under the command of Cannoness Mary Agnes.




The fervor of the Holy Sisters as they engaged the T'au with blessed bolter, flamer, and melta was too much for the already shell-shocked Farsight, and they were forced to withdraw after sustaining heavy casualties.


(Yes, Karen finally won a game)

oh my!

I always suspected...

Proof of Life

As you can see, your loved ones are safe and well. I assure you that if you would like them to continue in this state, that you do everything that we request.

So no painting for me today. Today Tamara and I played another Necron/Space Pups game. I thought I was screwed on the first turn when I did 10 wounds, and Tamara saved 9 of them, then passed the "We'll be back" roll for the last one, then proceeded to drip a particle whip pie plate on my Grey Hunters and splat 4 of them. I finally got into close combat on turn three, and then things went down hill for her. She phased out at the bottom of 6. After that we went over to a friends house and spent the afternoon in the pool in the rain, quite nice!

Yesterday I a bunch of the gribbly bits on my Land Raiders. They aren't done yet, but I got a lot of little details done. I also put the first coat on all my heads. Plus I epoxied some magnets on a bunch of my guys, the super glue wasn't holding well. I have a bunch more to put on tomorrow.

As for Calvin's "loved ones," I can drop them off at Tom's tomorrow if you guys are planning to play this weekend, or I can just keep a hold of them until the next time we play.

Lastly, Tamara is looking for a non-Space pup fight in the near future. Do you think Karen would be willing to play one of these days? She is looking to play someone that does not have as much experience.

Commisar musings

So after playing Tom's guard today and facing his Commisar lord I think I have found an issue. Tom is using (I believe) the Commisar-Colonel (or is it Colonel-Commisar) Gaunt mini (seen below)

The problem with Gaunt is that he is just too, "OK guys lets all gather around for a group hug and then go kill the heretics!"
I think Tom needs an ass-kicking commisar that will put the fear of god into his enemies. I was cruising the GW site and found they had a whole page dedicated to commisar minis. Out of the ones there, I think this guy is the scariest.

But thats just my own personal $0.02.

40K all up in here



I just felt like we needed to 40k this place up. The Longhorn gnome needs to scroll off before I am inclined to curb-stomp it.
