Circle Orboros, now presentable

I've had a fair amount of time to paint recently, so the Circle Orboros force is shaping up nicely. I have all-but-completed a starter set of Kaya the Wildborn, Feral Warpwolf, and Regular and Winter Argus; plus two Warpborn Skinwalkers and four Reeves of Orboros. The Feral and the "Summer Argus" might still need some highlights, but other than that I'm happy with everything here. 

Group shot:


Kaya herself: I put a lot of effort into this one since she's the boss of the army, and I hope it shows. In the blow-up picture here she doesn't look so great, but with the naked eye she looks quite good. I might try to make the eyes more distinct as it's almost invisible that I actually painted them.  


The Argii, or whatever the heck the plural is of Argus. I have no idea why that Winter Argus came out looking so good, and I hope I can duplicate that feat when I get to the Pureblood Warpwolf.


The Feral Warpwolf: He needs a few highlights yet, but is overall pretty good. 



Reeves of Orboros, and their leader. Making their leader a gray-haired old matron rather than a gorgeous blonde is an aesthetic choice I'm fairly happy with. 


And the first two Warpborn Skinwalkers. I haven't used them much in game as they aren't allowed in any of Prime Kaya's tier lists, but they're effective units. I'm not entirely sure about the axe blades, but I like the rest of them.

Well, it's been a while...

Apparently, I never got around to posting my thoughts on prepping for Adepticon, which is fine since Adepticon has now come and gone. Did I run my event? Indeed I did! Was it successful? In my completely biased opinion, yes it was. The information packet for Firestorm Planetfall: Renaissance at the Renaissance can be found here , and it has some aspects that I am fairly proud of. I talked to a few representatives from WarCradle, who now own the intellectual property for Firestorm, Dystopian Wars, and a few other formerly Spartan Games assets, so maybe some of my ideas will make it into the rules when Firestorm rises from the ashes in a year or so. The main rules change, which was very well received, is the "non-rolling start" described on page 2 with a record sheet on page 7 of the tournament pack. Basically, instead of rolling opposed initiative six  freaking times at the start of each game, you do it once. The winner of that roll gets to choose one of the six things that

First full game with new Tau

I finally got in a full game of 40k with the new Tau codex, thanks to the patience of Jason from Battlefront Games, who was willing to stay up far later than he should have. My thanks, sir! My army consisted of 3 squads of basic fire warriors, a single squad of kroot snipers, an ethereal, a crisis team with missile pods and fusion blasters for anti-armor, a pathfinder unit, a commander with drone controller escorting 8 marker drones, one bomber, and one of each heavy tank option. Jason's force was 3 tactical squads of space marines in drop pods, an ironclad dreadnought in another drop pod, a land raider full of assault terminators, a thunderfire cannon, Vulcan, and another special character I'm not sure of: Master of the Something-Or-Other. The game was Relic, which never moved the entire game! Basically, Jason's drop pods would come down, their contents would kill some of my stuff and get to touch the relic, then I would aim most of my firepower at it and wipe them out

End of Year Ramblings

No, I'm not doing New Year's Resolutions or anything silly like that! Just some musings on the State of Science Fiction Television, as observed from my living room. Several shows have recently ended, but there seem to be several waiting to take their place. The Sci Fi channel, that was for some absurd reason renamed to SyFy many years ago now, has gone back to its roots and is actually producing science fiction programming. I know, shocking. Some stuff has been mediocre at best, or at least didn't hold my interest. I didn't get into Z Nation, and never tried Killjoys or Dark Matter. However, SyFy is making an attempt at redemption with Childhood's End and The Expanse. Recently left us: Haven: I will miss Haven. Not the mess that the most recent season was, but the good show that it was for the first few. Defiance: Short-lived, but was pretty good. The last season was weak, which might have been why they chose to end it, but it was a very imaginative world and
