Sunday Night Musings: Distractions

  • Set a goal of painting two Screamers and a test Horror, and only ended up painting one Screamer. I did assemble the 8 clanrats like I set out to do, though.
  • Painting the color yellow is not fun at all. Maybe it's just the GW paints, but it is not an even, smooth color IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!
  • When I first started painting the Screamer, it reminded me of a McDonalds for some reason.
  • I'm playing another 2250 point game tomorrow with my Clan Eshin Skaven. It'll be the second time using blocks of clanrats with ratling guns attached. I'm going up against an Ogre player, so it should be a fun match.
  • I'm still using two Eldar Shadowweaver guns as proxied ratling guns. So sad...
  • I'm running a game night on Thursday, and I'm trying to figure out what new board game to break out on a bunch of unsuspecting victims. Sadly, it can't be anything fun like Arkham Horror, as this is an extremely casual crowd. Probably gonna end up looking for Ticket to Ride or something like that.
  • Attempted to paint while watching the All-Star game. Doesn't work out so well. Not when I'm trying to keep my eye on B-Roy and a Daemons of Chaos Screamer of Tzeentch at the same time. Hahahha... I just fit Brandon Roy and Warhammer into one thought. I kick ass!
  • I'm thinking about basing the Daemons on cobblestones, as that could represent a village in the Warhammer Fantasy setting, as well as a low-tech city in the "dark future." I looked at some sweet bases from Foundations of War--where I purchased the bases for my Eldar--but don't know how I would combine those bases with the Gale Force 9 movement trays.
  • Shaq + Jabbawockee = Awesome.
