Its going to be in red deer. GROTS is a gaming group/club in Red deer. http://grots.ca/forum/index.php?topic=2451.0

Yah i understand USB, I'll have to make it up somewhere but my GFs pretty cool with it haha.

Yeah.....i'll have to talk with her.......i'm thinking i'll go North with you though.

Gaspy is getting Soul Caliber? fun times. Also I think a new record for damage from a single attack was set yesterday, charging Spriggan under eSorcha's feat rolled 6,6,5 for damage against a Reckoner one shotting it from full in one attack with 32 damage, no need to boost. I was one sad but impressed menite.

Haha, yeah that was good times and definitely a personal best for me. I think he was just thanking me for getting him painted though... So very close to being done now. Only eSorscha to go and I'll be ready for the tourney on Sunday.

Anyone know what would call the thingy that sits over the top of the lightning ball on the storm strider? As per usual my part has magically left my desk never to be found again, and I need one. Further, does anyone know where you can get one?

The Parts Store.

[Slipfox]

Storm strider not thunderhead :P

[PG_Ghool]

Storm strider not thunderhead :P

That's not in the parts store I'm afraid. If you lost it, you're S.O.L.

Any word on part 2 of the video Dawn? It goes live tomorrow....

[Dawnlord]

I'll be uploading it today. Just can't upload while traveling I should have all 4 parts up tonight/ early tomorrow.

[PG_Ghool]

The article gets published at 5am. Is there any way you can have them up before 10pm tonight?
If not, I'll just bust it up into to a two part article.

[PG_Vynde]

I really need a lock and key for your model area slippyfist.

[PG_Ghool]

Or some discipline for the cat and kids.

I leave my stuff out all the time, and all those under 3 feet know to leave it alone.

[Dawnlord]

Ghool 2 parts up now, Part 3 is currently loading that just leaves Part 4. Hopefully will have them all up tonight.

Awesome man! Thanks!

[PG_Ghool]

Oh, and I also have a foam tray surprise for you on Sunday usb.

[usbprime]

FOAM TRAY SURPRISE! wait........last time a guy told me he had a surprise for me it didn't turn out good......this better not turn out like that......

[PG_Ghool]

This isn't the playground, and I'm not in a window-less van....

[PG_Ghool]

Spenser rocks! Thanks for getting all those videos up for me dude!

Yeah, the cat is the biggest perp, honestly. Picked it up from a farm and didn't realize that we had a F6 Savannah on our hands until we took her in for her first round of shots. It's like having a rowdy dog, that can climb and jump really high. The other day I watched her drag one of my shoes out the front door into the yard and start trying to cover it with dirt. It's a bit of a nightmare. She likes to sit on the table and watch me and whomever play games, and every now and then will swoop in and bite a model up and run. Always mine though ><

I'll do this for yah.

[KingArthur]

How do brush sizes work? I have a #1 what's a larger sized brush?

[PG_Vynde]

i use a #2 for everything i paint.

We have just purchased 8 chess clocks to add to the few we had already. As long as the shipping does not take forever we will be supporting a Deathclock event now.

This is great to hear, and pretty much cements me going to the event.. and i will work on USB(i know he will come )

[PG_Ghool]

Ah, something else we also need to get.

[PG_Ghool]

How do brush sizes work? I have a #1 what's a larger sized brush?

The bigger the number, the larger the diameter will be. Different manufacturers will not necessarily adhere to the same sizes compared to another one. The W&N's are about the same size as the Raphael brushes. The Raphaels are slightly larger. DaVinci brushes are ridiculously small; a DaVinci #2 is smaller than a W&N #1.

But, generally, the sizes work like this, working down from the largest to the smallest:

3, 2, 1, 0, 00, 000, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0, 10/0

Anything smaller than a 1 is pretty much useless in this climate. In a more humid place, the smaller brushes will work. But, regardless, learning to paint with a bigger brush that holds a nice sharp point will get you a steadier hand, and quicker at painting.

On another note; I've bought my Lock & Load T-shirt. Have you?

[KingArthur]

Oh ok thanks. I thought #2's were bigger. I got a WN #2 and it was smaller than my 1 so I was real
Confused

[usbprime]

oh hell yeah........i ordered mine as soon as Dawn let me know there was an e-mail in my inbox (i did say i'm terribad at checking my not work e-mail)

[PG_Ghool]

Hey Vynde, I sent you a bunch of stuff to print for tomorrow. Let me know if you can, or not. If not, I'll just have to run to Staples or something.

[PG_Vynde]

Sorry, was at the myth tournie all day. I can get this done, already had all the scenarios and solos printed, just gotta do the other thing you needed

[KingArthur]

Hey,
Do you need any extra terrain or anything for tommorrow?

[PG_Vynde]

yes, couldn't hurt.

[usbprime]

they may not be pretty........but i'll bring all my rough forest templates (i've got probably 8-10)......i could also bring some of the "Ruins" i made for 40k.

[Graycross]

Gotta Paint more....... Need to finish Jr..........

No terrain, sorry

[PG_Vynde]

great tournie, big turnout! Calgarys getting a nice and large gaming group! Love it.

[TeflonChromoly]

The nerd stink was so thick you could chew it. This leads me to believe that L&L is going to be the stinkiest place in the world.

There's good ventilation in the hotel. The hotel actually has a climate control system that pulls in fresh air from outside, and swaps the air inside. On the other hand, the Sentry Box has one door in the back that you can open, and freeze everyone in the back.
This is the difference between running an event at a venue that spends money on it's location, and one that doesn't spend any. The Sentry box doesn't even have air conditioning. If you thought today was bad, wait until the middle of summer....

There was no Geek Reek at LnL last year at all. No joke.

[Moose_Man]

There was no Geek Reek at LnL last year at all. No joke.

Haha Geek Reek. Never heard that before. Nice

I have, on occasion, given out a can of deodorant to culprits of "geek reek" and told them to "sort themselves out".

[usbprime]

Yeah.......i'm still trying to scrub the smell out.......oh well......Huge turn out......we're almost getting too big for the venue. And boy am i glad that april fools is over and we won't have to deal with it for a long time......

PS......2600 posts......and ghool is nearly 3000
