I believed I was a nerd but I went to a neighbor city this week to check out a warhammer/paint store. They had a room with like 5 tables for battles and a painting section. Filled with Uber nerds discussing various units and lore.

They took my nerdiness down to 5/10 while they were 10/10 or above. I felt a bit envious as I don't have anything like that here where I live.

That's some nice Sector Imperialis terrain they built. Just finished a few pieces myself, along with some more Krieg.

I can't wait to get my first paint session in my new office, it will be pure Zen! I have a recliner I am putting in there and I can just wheel that Husky Cart super close to grab everything I need. With that in mind could any of you recommend a good occupational light that has a clamp mount? I am hoping to be able to clamp them on the handle of this...

There are clamp mount lights that also have a weighted base you can interchange. That would work better with this setup probably. A clamp on a round bar is going to spin.

You could still be an 8 or 9. The leap to 10 is just that extreme.

Played Warcry over the weekend and thought it was cool as fuck. Decided to finally paint up a 1200 pt team. Been putting in work on 5 of them that were unpainted. I’m satisfied with it.

Got sidetracked with Lost Ark and other games for a bit. Built my last backlogged Gunpla and now I need to finish the last space marine. Then decide where the hell I should start with my printed stuff...

Also older news with this army, though I special painted a new hero for it. But a few old school 8th edition WHFB guys wanted to do a one day tourney this weekend and I got specifically asked to roll out this list again. Its my old comped soft to the stupid Swedish system Unicorn based army. Its collected four trophies on my mantle, including two Best General awards. Army is still only one loss with the Unicorn rider in the list (couple draws though) mostly owning to people not knowing the army and having no clue what to do against it. Fun list with a little bit of everything and no leaning on six dice horse shit. Eighth Ed might make a bit of a comeback in Texas, excluding the munchkins.

That army was a labor of love with many conversions in it (Wild Rider tops on archer bottoms to make my eternal guard, elaborate Sisters of Twilight conversion that I used as a Great Eagle, bits bashed girl on an elk for my Stag Rider BSB, ect). Always had fun playing it and no one ever complained about facing it. And I am the Warhammer player who always brings the frog scroll (hence the squeaky toys) in my army. It won me one game outright this weekend (frogged a Slaan LOL). I am too old to do the GT circuit of every other month flying around the country, but it was fun to dust off one of my favorite creations and painting projects.

Obscure mini, but love it and it has been my unicorn since the beginning (bought and repained three times this is the first attempt):

I miss WHFB. A group of 8 friends painted and played from the early 90's to the early 2000's before real life took over and we were all done with college. I can remember reading the army books and making up lists for hours at a time, just dreaming about "what if I got this unit!".

Blood Angels are done. My first real venture into minis. The Demon I posted earlier was easier to paint due to its size.

Will probably try paint my Barbarians I printed next.

Leviothan Leviothan Warcry is dope. It's our wargame of choice among my friends here.

Just took advantage of the nice weather to put the finishing coats on my 2nd Warcry board. Feels good man.

That terrain is dope as fuck. I've been using my daughter's toys. I had a colliseum fight with two statues of Morathi that were just Anna and Elsa looking down disapprovingly at a three way skirmish of Khainite Shadowstalker, Stormcast and Kruel Boys.

Yeah when we were still playing Kings regularly, my wife used that terrain set for all the dioramas for her Basilean (angels and nuns) army. Its a really great kit.
