Pr3Mu5 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Today in the hobby my... ... seven year old son spontaneously picked up a few of my miniatures and started making 'pew pew' sounds. He has since set up at my bench and is having a ferocious battle with various models that has lasted for more then an hour. That's it gaming-seed, plant nice and deep. *Sheds a geeky tear* I cannot wait for the day my son gets old enough for the possibility for this to happen. I'm so happy for you.

Carlson793 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 TITH, I tested out a silicone mold as part of a product analysis of different mold making materials. I'll have a simple review tomorrow after I have a chance to snap some pictures.

Pr3Mu5 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) YITH I fielded a mix of my 1st, 2nd and 10th Co Ultramarines in a 1500 point game against KDK. The Emperor blessed us with a crushing victory over the heretics. The game was called at the end of turn 3 at 7 mael points to 1 with the marines having lost a total of 11 brothers whilst the Archenemy was in for a turn 4 tabling. It made up ever so slightly for the devastation they were subjected to on Sunday in a 2000 point game against Tau Gundam force. On the plus side the day before YITH my marines barbecued and plasma'd a tonne of Nidd. My lord though the Demachaeron is a beast in combat! Finally YITH I will be sitting down to build and magnetise a second sternguard squad and all their combi and heavy weapon options. Can anyone say turn one drop pod death? Oh and I also almost fainted at the beauty of the plastic St Celestine Edited December 21, 2016 by Pr3Mu5 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/209/#findComment-4599356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantomzero17 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 TITH came home from my first day back at work to discover a message from one of my friends. My most frequent local opponent is moving out of state. Well I guess after two weeks of mainly playing 40k and DnD since I've been off work I'm heading back to the primarily painting version of the hobby.

paulJam Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 in no way intending to come across as feminist or creepy i think it's good that they're bringing (slightly more) female models (sisters mainly). would be good to see even more female miniatures. not marines obviously :) but say guard... persons for starters. zombies, demons, more sisters. possibly the necromunda stuff. not in order to 'attract a great female fan base' or anything serious like that but to show that all of humanity is involved in the fight. the guard are generally an equal opportunity employer as far as i remember.... everyone fights, everyone dies. Today In The Hobby i finished my game buddy's xmas present. a custom built Epic starter set for his new chapter; Rust Wolves. Emperor i love holidays !

Knight of the Raven Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 There's also the fact "always men, all the time" gets kinda boring after the second decade. Even if space marines are closer to sexless killing machines than to actual men. Five minutes ago in the hobby I devoted two Salamanders sergeants to Khorne, along with my work table, a few paint pots, one duster and the floor.Cough. paulJam and Teetengee 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/209/#findComment-4601001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sefiel Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 HiTwo games v Blood Angels tonight.The first used seven assassins at 1k. Another close game - this one was a draw at the end of turn six, with one surviving BA model. Three assassins remained. I had some fairly terrible luck at several points, but not unhappy with the results.The second involved Codex: Just As Planned (C:IA, C:I and Cypher, centred around a henchmen formation including 6 space monkeys and Coteaz.) in 1500.Unfortunately the mission was the Relic, and the set-up was diagonals. Early jokaero success v enemy Vindicaire, but bogged down by enemy shooting despite my often 2+ armour and/or cover saves. Another draw (we stopped after turn 4) but I did toast the BA 2+/3++ /5+++ captain with Rending Heavy Flamers.

Winds Of Fury Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Man I feel for you Brother . Yeah, hopefully it's only stuck in the tidal wave of Christmas shippings. Did notice on the Forge World site that Sweden is listed as taking up to 10 working days for Standard Delivery.. (Mainland Europe is 7 days) I assume GW and FW uses same methods of Standard Delivery.
