Well, November is heading out and I still can't seem to post regularly. At any rate, my batch of Multi-Melta Servitors are done and I'm nearly done the Jump Pack Chaplain for Mike.
Today I'm in an Online Learning class and the topic of blogs came up, which twigged me to post on mine.

02 October Tourney at the Gamer's Lair
Well, the bad news is that I didn't take my camera and I kind of regret that now.
The good news is that the tourney went pretty well.
I didn't have enough Witch Hunters painted to field an army and I didn't feel like breaking out my Orks (though in retrospect, I can't recall seeing an army there that would have had an easy time of dealing with them), so Sean helped me out with some models and a list. From there, I loaded up my templates and dice and went intending to just goof around.
We played through three Astronomicon scenarios. Each one was a little different, but they were definitely fun. The first one we did was a downed pilot theme and that mission just had a lot going on in it. The next two simply had easier rules to follow, so it all worked out.
The games themselves were just plain fun and each one was better than the last. I can definitely say that the players are what keeps me going back to the Gamer's Lair for tourneys. It's just a solid and fun group.
An interesting change this time in that the prizes were in the form of Gamer's Lair coupons instead of trophies, but nobody seemed to mind.

Indian Summer is Over.....I Think
Well, I seem to be running about a post per month. Busy fall I suppose. Anyway, I should have a few free weekends in October, so maybe I'll get more done.
I got my Inquisitor redone, though she may get a second trip to the strip bucket once I figure out a better way to get the paint off of the model. It's definitely lacking the clean edges, mostly due to accumulated paint in the crevasses of the model.
I got a Genestealer something done for Nic, though I need to do some additional inking on the plasma gun for contrast.
The final Possessed model is finished.
As is the Cryx Bloat Thrall I picked up last year.
In terms of stuff to work on right now, I've an Immolator on the go, which is proving interesting, but problematic as well, at least in terms of touching areas up. I'm working on the various guns at the moment to take a break from the hull. I still have to magnetize the weapons and finish the turrets. I'm holding off on the hull until next weekend when I pick up some brush on white primer.

Second Battle Sister Squad Finished
It's been a while since I've posted, but honestly, not much has happened yet. Once again, this summer proves that I'm not exactly built for heat. I haven't been terribly productive as the painting goes.
Sean, Sparky, Mike and I are getting together for a game on the 21st and I've gotten what I need painted up for it at this point: My second unit of Battle Sisters!
I've also gotten the bastion cleaned up, my Inquisitor partly finished, a Gun Servitor partly finished and my first Immolator partly assembled (yes, I realize I'll be cleaning up these part projects for a month). I also finished up one of Sean's Possessed.
As to the rest of it, Sparky and I are still working on the missions for this weekend and I'm going to try to get my Inquisitor and Servitor finished up.

Finally, some normal temperatures
By now, everyone has probably seen the hottest summer on record bit. Well, it is. Since my last post, I've gotten a Possessed and a couple of Sisters done and it's been a few weeks. It's just been way too hot to do much of anything.
Temperatures have cooled off though, so I'm looking at getting a bit more done now that things are livable.

Gamer Appreciation Day at the Gamer's Lair
We're entering the quiet season for tournaments, at least in this neck of the woods. When summer comes to Canada, folks tend to frolic outside and things to that effect. With that in mind, Doug set up a little get together at the Gamer's Lair for everyone with a few little prizes, medals, cake, that sort of thing. Maybe not a major event in gaming, but certainly a nice thing for a store owner to do.

Back from Big Bay
Not a whole bunch to tell here. I went up to Big Bay with Sparky and it was just a relaxing weekend. We got some stuff figured out for the August game and I got an inventory of what he had in terms of my Inquisitorial stuff to base.
We did some cooking, had a fire and checked out some vintage Transformers cartoons. There was apparently a GI Joe cartoon marathon on a few days ago. I'm pretty sure that one would have broken my brain.
