..a week of recouperation after Geeking out with our Minis Out!

Sorry for the delay in posts. In recouping from my trip to Wargames Con and coming back to work for a 60 hour work week.

Wargames Con Follow-up:

•  Prize handouts and no swag bags differing than advertised was a DISAPPOINTMENT.
• Meeting Romeo and Kyle from BattleFoam and 40K radio, a PLUS.
• Meeting other 40K Radio Freebootas and dragging Romeo and Kyle to Bikinis, a PLUS.
• Re-introducing an old friend that had been away from 40K for 12 year plus and introducing his son to 40K, a PLUS.
• Having a tire blowout on the MOPAC Highway 1 in Austin, a DISAPPOINTMENT.
• Eating at Franks and learning the joys of Chocolate Covered Bacon!, Mega PLUS!
• Picked up some water bottles that are in the shape of the UT tower. Gonna use these as terrain pieces! I am thinking the pillars of a suspension bridge. http://www.facebook.com/h2orange a PLUS!
• I picked up 15 Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Knights for $42 when normally it's $30 for 5, a PLUS!

So all in all, we ended up in the positive.

While in Austin we hit Dragon's Lair. My wife, having been surrounded by the "geekery" and her interest in steam-punk had corrupted Joe and I into picking up some Malifaux teams. 

We all picked up different teams. 

Kimber picked up a Leviticus team.

Joe picked up a Collette team.

..and I picked up a Lady Justice Team. (I love the Death Marshals models!)

 

I have my team based and primed, I just need to start painting them. 

I also made a trade for more Space Marines and seriously bolstered my Celestial Lions. I have several squads of marines and scouts that have now been stripped. There will be updates. I have found some awesome bases from Dragon Forge that have inspired me to strip and re-base all of my Space Wolves. Blargh!

On my last Saturday of my Comp-cation Joe and I hit the FLGS, Astral Castle in Midland and we both got in 2 games. I broke out my Swarmlord and my Tyranids the first battle I faced some Space Wolves and got worked because there was no cover. Highlight of the game: a Rune Priest cast Jaws of the World Wolf and my Carnifex survived with a roll of 1! Second Game I faced off against Space Marines and won by holding 2 of the 4 objectives and he held none! 

Keep an eye out I will be making updates...
