Sunday Night Musings: Monday Edition

  • It was a bad idea to buy the GW catalog. Now I keep finding little things that I want to get, which then turn in to these grandiose ideas. For instance, there is a wicked little Night Goblin Boss model that looks amazing. I want it. Naturally, this then turned into, "Why don't I start a Night Goblin warband?" 500 points, nothing big. I could get some squigs, wolf riders, etc... All of a sudden, me liking the looks of a model has turned into me thinking about blowing $100+ on some crazy idea. Go figure. GW must love people like me.
  • I am one ratling gun away from having my entire Eshin army assembled. Once the weather gets better, I will then have everything undercoated. I spent a little time this weekend throwing some brown paint on my Jezzails and two Gutter Runners.
  • The Under-Empire is having a painting contest on Skryre weaponry. This would be a great opportunity for me to paint and submit my converted Ratling Gun--or guns, if I manage to get the other one completed, too.
  • I'm really on the fence about buying a different Assassin model as a replacement for my Traid. Currently, I have two identical older models and a newer Assassin. I'd love to get rid of the newer model and get a third older model. Bartertown, here I come!
  • I spent some time fiddling with an 1850 Eldar list--even though I really don't know what point size people tend to play with around here. I want to use a Seer Council on Foot, but I think I need to throw them in a souped up Falcon or Wave Serpent. In fact, from the looks of things, I want about 3 Wave Serpents for my army. So much for not using tanks in my list...
  • Of course, I'm still contemplating getting rid of my Eldar altogether. The main thing keeping them in my possession is the though of a Seer Council. Some of my favorite models, hands down. Combining that and some Harlequins is just too cool to pass up, especially since I already own the models.
  • Game Night is tonight. I've missed a week, and am really looking forward to getting a game in. Hopefully I'll be able to play someone new this week.
  • Going to visit my parents this week. This means I'm gonna get some Warhammer Quest in, which should be lots of fun. I wish I had time to paint the Wardancer. I probably do, but that would mean I would have to stop procrastinating on the internet. No thanks! I know what my priorities are!
