A gripe

By the way, I'm a little miffed that GW didn't bother to take any shots of the army for the website or White Dwarf. I got lots of very happy comments from lots of folks, and many random bystanders took the time to get photos of the squigs, but no love from The Man. I shouldn't be surprised, though, since most of the GW bits I used were all from older versions and the biggest models were pure green stuff...

End of the blog?

Well, mission accomplished, mostly. I got to Las Vegas with an army I was mostly happy with and had some fun playing it. Four votes for Players' Choice was a good bit less than I'd hoped for, but my army was way way way in the back for the first round when most people were checking out the various armies. Plus, there were three or four stunningly good paint jobs out there, so if the vote was for pure appearance rather than theme, I wasn't even in the same class.

10th place overall (out of 130?) was also a lot better than I'd expected. I'm thinking now that I'll play this same list in Baltimore for the GT, though not Games Day. Maybe I'll try to add some more painting detail or even remodel some of the sloppier modelling work. Heck, I've got 4 months, so I should be able to start and finish a brand new army by then, right? No.

No pics in the forseeable future, I'm afraid. My internet remains broken and Cox has proven itself to be wholely uninterested in this fact. I'm looking to move, so it might be a month before final photos go up.
