Until you see how much stuff you have to bring to keep them there for a few hours.
Or, until they start grabbing your miniatures off the table, crying, are hungry, thirsty, bored, tired....
If you need to give something 100% (or close to it) of your attention, kids are not fun to have around. :p

Thanks again for magnetizing my Jack usb :D

I'm up to rank 2 already :D
Vynde
09-11-2011, 04:06 PM
great games as usual, also increased our regular numbers by 33% it looks like! from 4-6 haha.
Points for me are as follows: 3 wins = 9, 1 small warlock, and 1 large Warbeast = 4 for a total of 13 points.
Now I've gotta figure out what the heck is gonna be in the 25p list..
usbprime
09-11-2011, 05:37 PM
yeah, i'm sitting at 2 wins, 1 loss.
painted so far is 3 small solos, and 1 medium solo, 2 medium jacks, unit of 2 large base models. i think that 23 points so far. both parts of darragh wrathe and 2 sirens will be done before the end of the week.
so i did a bunch of research, and apparantly i've been playing my coven wrong, and my revenants wrong as well.
apparantly, the coven are all solo's. so they each activate on their own, they don't activate like a unit. also, each of the witches can cast a spell, following normal caster rules. the revenants point blank works differently than gunfighter, where the ranged attack becomes a 2nd melee attack, once the models are in melee range. all bonus's and boosts apply to both attacks.
it's amazing what a little research can uncover :P
And gray, next time we match up......there'll be no do-overs, so you need to double check everything you do :P
Graycross
09-11-2011, 05:56 PM

On an unrelated note, Whatever happened to the pictures that were taken during our Wrath Event? I am inclined to ask out of curiosity.
Also, in a flurry of painting I'm now coming close to being done pHaley, so she'll be added to my model count for this week aswell.

Has anyone in our local scene thought about picking up Trolls?
I'm considering a Hordes faction, and wondering what's not going to be represented.
I'm feeling the Troll, and Pig Love the most right now.
If either of those factions will be represented, I'll decide on something else.
Dawnlord
09-11-2011, 07:56 PM
Great games to those I played!
Score: 2 Losses= 4pts Hopefully have Kromac Human and Beast form finished for next week!
Ghool: Trolls would be pretty sick! Saw the new plastics for the Mauler and Blitzer in some Pax photos.
Usb: You paint like a mad man thats a lot of painted models, how do you find time to sleep :D
Vynde
09-11-2011, 08:15 PM
I like the play style of trolls but find their troop models completely unappealing, my next faction will likely be a slow croc force, or picking up a warmachine faction.. possibly Khador.
I must say USB, you have been painting like crazy lol.
Graycross
09-12-2011, 06:10 AM
I have my sights set on Trolls for my first Hordes faction, which'll probably be next. If the "Lightning Troll" seems good in domination I might even pick them up then.
Otherwise I'd be playing Searforge.
The only reason I'd pick up Pigs would be if my modeling skills seriously improved, so its fair to say I wont be picking them up :p
usbprime
09-12-2011, 06:41 AM
I've got a small skorne force started. Bleed has the trolls Battlebox, but he seems to be really enjoying menoth. If you're interested in the box, talk to him and he may cut you a deal, as his next faction I believe will be seaforged mercs
As far as my painting goes, my wife was busy last weekend, so I had all monday to myself, and painted all day. And had 3 evening during the week. That and with the soulhunters, I'd spent a loooooong time painting the leader preious to the league, so it was fairly easy to paint the 2 troopers.
BleedNoMore
09-12-2011, 06:56 AM
Ya I did pick up a troll battlebox awhile ago, trolls played to much like menoth for me. So if anyone wants them id be willing to sell them to them :). Sorry Gray seaforge is mine gunbunnies for the win ;)

We need a ret player too......if anyone wants to volunteer to be that player.....I have the greatest/easiest paint scheme for them....just buy the metal models, assemble them as cleanly as possible, then just paint the eyes, any highlights, and base them, and just say they're real metallics. With the way that ret's jacks and armor are, you could totally pull it off.
Ghool
09-12-2011, 11:36 AM
I hate the Ret models....no way.
Vynde
09-12-2011, 11:42 AM
I would play ret.. but.. space elves..
usbprime
09-12-2011, 12:34 PM
If I were to build a ret army.....I'd paint the jacks to resemble the 4 weapons from final fantasy 7. Seriously, they're the one faction I can't take seriously.
Graycross
09-12-2011, 02:00 PM
Meh, I'll pass on Ret., I like 'em but I'd prefer Trolls
Speaking of which, how much would you be selling the battlebox for Bleed? and what state are the models in?
Dawnlord
09-12-2011, 02:12 PM
Hey all,
I need a war machine faction so maybe I'll be that retribution player. Got an idea for them already colour wise.
On a side I have a rules question, in one of my games my war beast was knocked down by IF Pikeman on a critical hit, these models don't have critical knockdown so as I'm new is there a special reason for this? I'm unsure thats why I'm asking.
Graycross
09-12-2011, 02:16 PM
As i remember it IFP's have crit knockdown (unless its crit slam?)
EDIT: yup, just checked it :D
Ghool

Sure, Why not. I've never done one of those Locational Leagues before. (I think that's what you're talking about :p)
Also Would my Multi-Jack be worth 4 points? seeing as it has more pieces and such.
usbprime
09-14-2011, 07:31 AM
You can count me in, as I'm one of the factions involved in the fiction. The other thing I was thinking about, was this league will be a great opportunity to build/play with the ship board I proposed last month. I have all the base 2x2 tiles cut and ready for the work to begin. I need to price out the materials, and depending on the cost, I may end up asking for donations to go towards the board. Once this is done, I plan to leave it at sentry for use (mostly for us). The other thing, is I'm going to be looking to volunteers for the modelling and painting of the board. I'm hoping to have the large portions of the board constructed beforehand, so we could get together at my place on a saturday and break the board into the 6 sections and be able to work on it idividually. I'm thinking the saturday would be the 8th of Oct. But that date may move. I'll keep you all informed as the weeks go on. Just keep it in mind, as I'll be looking for 5 volunteers, and probably $5-10 from anyone who's willing to contribute.
usbprime
09-14-2011, 07:34 AM
Oh, sorry for the double post (my phone hates's editing).
With the donations, anything I get above and beyond the cost of the board, will go to Ghool for the league/tournament for better/more prizes or expenses.
Ghool
09-14-2011, 07:43 AM
@Graycross - I'm going to say no extra points for an omni-jack. The intent is for players to build one of three models with it. It's unfair to the Hordes guys who are already getting the shaft by not having Wreck markers, let alone multi-beast kits. One model = points for one model, no matter how many parts it comes in.
@usb - It might not be such a great idea to leave an expensive, and fragile board at the store. People tend not to take very good care of the store boards (as you have seen) and I would really hate to see something that had so much time, effort and money put into it get destroyed after one week. You'd be constantly repairing it.
However, Gord, the owner might feel inclined to give you some store credit if you left it at the store for public use. It might be an idea to go in talk to him, or Greg, and see you can work something out. The last guy that did it, Gord gave him about $200 credit for a mediocre table that was in two odd-shaped pieces, and had lousy terrain; it was a very amateur attempt to say the least. I'll show you the table next time I'm in.
It's worth perhaps giving him a phone call about.
usbprime
09-14-2011, 07:55 AM
Yeah, I understand what you mean Ghool. On one hand I am hesitant to leave it there, but on the otherhand, I'd feel really bad to build this as a collective league and keep it at my house, and then if I go away for a few weeks neglect everyone from using it (that and once it's done it'll weigh a fair amount, and I won't really want to transport it back and forth). If I were to leave it at the store, I'd see about taking a corner in that back store room. Dunno, we'll see when it's done.
Vynde
09-14-2011, 08:41 AM
Ghool, have you ever done one of the leagues? where you have to choose where you're fighting and all that fun stuff? I'll reread the rules and see if i can get a better understanding.
Power to you with your board USB, i'll help where i can but weekends arent likely when i'd be able to help.
Ghool
09-14-2011, 08:49 AM
No, I haven't played in that format before.
The old leagues just had a random roll for where you would fight, and the weather/board effects it had. Some of those scenarios are pretty cool.
We can run both in tandem, but I'll have to see if we got both league kits ordered. I'm not sure if we have one, or the other, or both.
Next time I'm in I'll talk to Greg and fins out which ones we have. Because Edward knows I'm running the events again, he'll likely just auto-order anything that has to do with leagues or tournaments.
There's also the Longest Night, which is another official event. Haven't heard anything about it, except that it's going to be run soon, and that it has to do with Alexia.
I'll set some dates for the leagues, and our year end Hardcore tournament very soon.

Yeah, I'm adding to my jack lists (probably my 3 lights and the Slayer) with a soft unit of sould hunters and the character solo dragoon (Darragh Wrathe). If there are evenings that work for you vynde, let me know, and I'll just arrange through work/wife to make my schedule work with yours. I'm fairly flexible that way.
Dawnlord
09-14-2011, 11:18 AM
Im in for whatever you guys want to run. Sunday was awesome and I'm looking forward to the rest of the league and future events!
I'm gonna add a unit I think just not sure which one.
Ghool
09-14-2011, 11:37 AM
Hmmm...thinking about this Longest Night event got me thinking to offer an awesome prize to the first place winner, in addition to whatever prize support we have.
I have an eAlexia I grabbed from the pre-release at LnL.
I might be inclined to paint it up, and offer it as a first prize, or as a prize for best painted army (if we decide on painting requirements) for the Longest Night event....I think that might motivate everyone to paint up a full list depending on what size of games the event is meant for....no? :D
Since it has to do with undead, and a psychotic necromancer, Halloween might be a good time to run the Longest Night....
Vynde
09-14-2011, 12:24 PM
Glad you had fun dawn! Always happy to get new players in, and look forward to having you out on sundays. Anyone that likes Volbeat is good in my books :D
I'm curious what this longest Night will be like, and anything extra you're willing to throw in for events Ghool i dont think anyone would mind :D. You can always make it known before the event that there is a prize for best painted, you can say or not say what it is, but then also not require painting(tho i much prefer it) and hopefully that motivates people since they cant win it without being painted(well). But also doesnt discourage people who dont enjoy painting from coming to our events.
usbprime
09-14-2011, 01:02 PM
I dunno if I'd consider alexia demented......misunderstood probably fits better......
If you have the event on or around halloween, I'll probably have to miss......All Hallow's Eve is bigger than x-mas to me and the wife, and we've already got plans (I think, she hasn't really told me all we're doing yet). But if it's the weekend before or after, count me in for surely :D
Ghool
09-14-2011, 01:14 PM
I wouldn't make it the weekend of Halloween...I have kids y'know. :D
I'd likely schedule it for the week after, depending on which day it falls on.
And, yeah, I like the idea of a best painted award, but painting not being a requirement. Just a bonus for those who go hardcore.
EDIT: Crazy...12 pages long already...
Anyways, Hallows Eve falls on a monday, so the sunday before is unlikely. If anything, we can run the Longest Night on November 5th.
Then have a regular game days two weeks after, and then our Hardcore year end finale at the end of November.
I assume most of us will be pretty busy for the month of december, so just our pick up games can run for that month, if at all.
We can then kick off the new year with a new league, and regular sunday gaming again.
We should also start making plans for Lock n' Load next year. From what I have heard first hand, it will be running in May 2012. That's only a few months away. So, let's get a roster of who's in, and who's not, and whose car we'll be driving.
if it's the same as last year, it'll be a saturday and sunday. It's a 14 hour drive, so getting the preceding friday, and monday following off is advised. Sunday won't wind down until about 8-9pm, so leaving monday morning is much better. It's also very exhausting, because you can play games for like 18 hours on saturday, and 12 on sunday....Iron Arena has some good prizes too....and it's good times.
I am, of course, all in. I plan on doing almost nothing but gaming this time around, barring the tournaments I'm in, and seminars I find interesting.
Vynde
09-14-2011, 01:57 PM
As already stated, i am fully in for this.
As for cars, we could probably take mine. I probably wouldnt put more then 3 other people in it tho, with bags and mini's.
Ps. yah we post a lot hah.

Ghool
09-14-2011, 06:34 PM
How new is your car, Vynde?
If possible, we can take mine, as I can fit 5 and gear, and its an '07, so we ride in a bit of comfort, and get good gas milage. The wife might need it, but its a possibility. With 4 passengers it'll be a bit tight. With 3 passengers it'll be comfortable.
Sounds like Dawn has the nicest ride, and the most room.
I also wouldn't need any rides anywhere....its doubtful I'd leave the convention hall, and its probably best we get a room in the hotel its being held at. If anything, I'd just go for a walk to the markwt, if its held in Seattle downtown again.
Any events that I run, I'm not allowed to compete in, so don't worry, I wouldn't put anyone up against my stuff. :p
Dawnlord

I guess I should talk to the wife about L&L.....I'll probably end up spending a week or 2 in the proverbial dog house, so I should get it over with now.....
I made one of the ships masts last nite and mocked up the surrounding deck. It's freaking sweet. I also priced out all the materials for the board, so all I have to do is calculate how much of what will be needed, but I'm thinking it'll run in the market of 150-200 for everything.
Vynde
09-15-2011, 10:49 AM
Ghool, do we have idea of what tournaments will be running at LnL? Obviously i know its early haha, do you remember what was all ran besides Iron Arena last year?
For the Journeyman league i cannot wait for the 35p week, so i can change casters, pretty psyched to try out my new caster. Though Vayl has been really fun, and i think i've got a decent 25p list ready for you guys this week, is pretty much everyone a go this weekend?
Ghool
09-15-2011, 01:40 PM
On saturday they had Masters Qualifier 1, Hardcore 1, and Team Tournament....I think there was another Masters in there too.
Sunday had Masters 2, and Masters Finals, and Hardcore 2.
You could feasibly fill the entire weekend with tournament play, but then you'd have no time for seminars, or hitting up the store for the pre-releases. You'll want to save some time for Iron Arena, because they do have some pretty sweet prizes just for casual play, and the most amazing scenario tables you'll ever see. Oh, and you do get points for Iron Arena prizes by playing in the tournaments too. Pretty significant amounts; 10 points per tournament. You can start cahsing in the IA points at 4 points, and I spent 12 points to get the 9 PP tokens you've seen me with. 3 tokens for 4 'Skulls'. The tops prizes are 30 Skulls.
I bought a bunch of brushes and hobby supplies in the store, and they have tees, the online exclusives (except they didn't have the pHaley alt...grrr), all NQ's that aren't sold out, and all the books. Basically everything in the online store, plus the entire line of models and books.
And trust me, you'll need at least 2 hours for the store. I spent half that time standing in line for the eAlexia. If you go later on in the day, there's no line up. Nothing I noticed was sold out. Besides, it's in Seattle, so if they did run out, I assume they could just send some on to get more stuff from their warehouse.
Bring lots of spending money....
Vynde

Gray, i have a major serious issue with you proxying. I mean the audacity of you not having a bottemless bank account, and having all the LGS in calgary keeping the models you need in stock is an atrocity. In the words of one of my favorite cartoon characters.... For every proxy on the table, i shall kill you!
I am of course just joking :P
Speaking of proxies, i just finished painting my warwitch sirens, and as i was filling out my journeyman score sheet (and everyone should bring their own this weekend :P) i was wondering if i can tally points for my self-built siren, considering she technically isn't a legal model.
Ghool

Yes, you may tally points for your scratch-built siren.

I might be able to get the card... I'm curious?

Gray we could just play a bb games as the hordes bb's are supposed to be balanced against one another.
I have a gun mage card if you need it as well

I still need Bleed's real name, if you could prod him to send it to me usb, that'd be great.
Did anyone remember the new guy from Toronto's name?

I also need everyone attending regular sunday demo/gaming/league days to register Here (http://www.privateerevents.com/), and to sign up for events that I will be scheduling on that site.
This is so I am able to promote and advertise the events, and so I have proof of number of attendees, and so-on.
I'll still be letting you know when I'll be in, and running game, or painting demos in this thread. The events site is more for PG stuff.

So, Usb is bringing the model and Dawn is bringing the card for my UA. Sounds good to me :D
Also, could everyone bring in any blister foam they have? I'm getting tired of waiting for my Battlefoam so i'm gonna try my hand at building something :D

Blister foam is no good for building foam trays. If you really need something for now, just pick up a pluck foam tray at the Box for 5 bucks.

Well, it seems like it would work.... Mind enlightening me?

have you marked anything down to register for yet? i can't figure out how to do it if you have....
Ghool

I haven't. What you need to do after registering, is choose a venue.
That should be on the left vertical tabs on the side of your screen.
Click on that, and search for 'Sentry Box', and add it as one of your venues.
I still need to be hooked up as the Event Organizer to add events to the venue. Once I am, I'll let you guys know when they're happening, and when to sign up for them via this thread.

Ok. I've already added sentry as my venue.....and I added you as a friend (I know, I know.....I'm sooooooo lame)
Graycross
09-18-2011, 05:29 AM
Dang, I wont be able to get to sentry till after 1:00 :p Who's planning on staying till then?
Also, to ensure I'm on the same page as everyone else, usb's bringing the "Gunmage UA" Dawn's bringing the card for the "Gunmage UA" and Bleed's bringing his (for now) Troll battlebox
Cheers :D

There is a 50p 2 list steamroller at Thunderground comics in Edmonton on Sat. Oct. 29. I believe i will be making the trip for this, i expect it to have a pretty large turnout, would anyone else be interested?
usbprime
09-19-2011, 01:36 PM
I won't be able to make it. Between my normal job, my side jobs that I need to finish and maybe working on the board, my saturdays are asll full till probably mid november :(
This weekends, games were great. Long......really long......but great(except when your opponent moves outside the killbox.....:P )
Hey gray, are you still looking for the UA? I'm may stop in at myth on my way home, and can look for you if you want.

No worries man, i can understand the commitements.
So im thinking about my blindwater army, and i cant get over the wrastler.. any ideas on substitutes? Or I'll just have to try my hand at convererting them O.o

What's wrong with the Wrastler?
Chances are, Domination will have one heavy and light for each pact. So, two 'gators, and two piggies.
I'm diggin' the Pigs, and will definitely be picking some up in the near future.
I can't make it to Edmonton, unfortunately. I work Saturday mornings, and the wife works the evenings.

Do you just not care for the "mask" he's wearing? I've seen a few conversions that looked pretty good. One guy I saw just painted it to look like a mexican wrestlers mask. Another I saw was someone modeled a towel and draped it over it's head, like you see boxers do before a match, and it was positioned to basically cover all the "mask" that he's wearing......it looked pretty good, and I'm pretty sure all it was, was greenstuff. The last one which looked cool, but would be a lot of work, was the guy made an entire outfit that made the wrastler look like the undertaker, and the hat he placed on the wrastlers head so that it covered nearly all the face. I think the towel would look cool, and if you could model the hands to look like the old leather boxing gloves would look sweet I think.

The only part that kind of bugs me is his arms, and their positioning, i might just try to lower them or do something like that with them. I wonder what gators light will be.. since we know the heavy(which i hope looks good >.<)

Have you seen some of the Crocodile men from Crocodile Games Wargods?

So, no joy on your UA @ myth gray. On a side note, I found at myth, and painted last night, my army mascot! Too bad it's not a PP model and I can't get hobby points :P. Oh well, it's awesome anywho so, I'm really stoked.
As far as your croc's stances are concerned......there's nothing that a sharp knife, some fancy pinning and some green stuff can't fix. I still think modelling your wrastler to look like a 50's boxer would be awesome......with the fighting trunks pulled up to his nipples. And some oversized boxing gloves would be wicked-awesome!
Vynde
09-20-2011, 08:21 AM
haha that does sound good USB, but i think i will stick to something simple to start, since i am not much of a converter.
Yah dawn i have seen those, and i do like the models, but i want to keep the army tournament legal :)

The Sand Narrows League is now up on the events site, as is a Steamroller format Tournament on November 20th.
The Tournament will be our final event until the new year.
