Kicking it in DC these days.

I know I'm behind the times, only recently found out about Warhammer being killed off. Damn, never did get to play a game of 8th edition.

So downloaded KoW free rules. Like what I see. Can mostly run my Orcs same as always - no archer Orcs tho, gonna have to change that.

Anyone else looking for refuge from the Old World?

Man, I loved Korea. If you get a chance, go through a local market. Look for the rice cookies with red bean filling. They look like little green, pink, or white balls and are oh so good. If dining out, ask for kim bim bop, its a sort of Califirnia roll and bim bim bop, a fired atone bowl with noodles, vegetibles, meat, and kimshi topped with a fried egg. Korean fajita.

Get a blanket if you can fit it in your luggage. I have three and ita been 20 years since I was in Korea.

My wife has chosen to give birth at such an inconvenient time. *sigh* She says I can go to OFCC, I just can never come back. So, who wants to adopt me? :)

Mount Rushmore too far out of the way?

Man that's terrible.  Seriously, just ask and I'm sure something could have been worked out if they needed minis that bad.

Why? You're just advertising that you likely have guns inside to steal...

If you try to take my guns, you're not going to have a good time.

One of my most memorable games was against Karl when I first found Ordo.  He was fresh back from 'stan and brought a marine Black Templar army to face my Steel Legion army. Truth be told, it was a massacre.  Karl had no AT capability and here I was rolling tanks and Chimeras in formation across the table screaming "death before dismount".  It was horribly lopsided, but Karl was a great sport and we had a great time laughing at the absurdity of the situtation.  Now that was a good game because we didn't take it seriously. I can really see some folks getting bent is they get surprised by an overpowering list. On the other hand, all this pregame negotiations kinda takes the game meta.

Watched this played at PensaCon last weekend. Looked like so much fun I picked it up as the book end to my X-Wing box.

So, random purchase at the local game store today.  I have heard of X-Wing before, never seen it.  Very attractive looking box and reasonably priced. Got my tax refund, so why not?

Got the starter set, 1 X-Wing, and 1 Advanced TIE.  Looking forward to teaching boy child to play.

Do you use a round base with lip or will GW style work?

Well dern.  Looks like future kid is due to arrive on the planet September 25th.  Yeah, way not asking wife-empress for time to go play with toy soldiers.  :(

No, I'm using 25mm metal figures.  The have a molded on base, so not sure how to deal with that yet.  Also, can't find any dynamic pictures of deck plating in the Death Star.

Bah on Ewoks!

Bet you didnt know there is no point in any movie that refers to those lethal teddy bears as Ewoks.

I utterly reject the notion that Stormtroopers are bad shots.  They were only portrayed in the movies as mooks, but you don't conquor a galaxy with sub performing troops. 

I have a TIE fighter that migrefusing.    

Going to spend about a month rebasing.  I'm torn between an urban theme or forest moon.

I have been collecting a number of Star Wars miniature battles figures.  I want to use them in 40K.  My thinking was that the Eldar list would be a good basis for a Star Wars Imperial proxie.

Stormtroopers - Guardians

Scout Troopers on Bikes - Guardians on jetbikes

Royal Guards - Wraith Guard (?)

Darth Vader - Exarch (?)

AT-ST - War Walker

So, never having played Eldar before, any suggestions?

It seems champagne causes people. 

I like to run them on las cannon equipped Sentinels.  Taking the scout move to get a good firing position, my first action is always volley missiles at a vehicle.  Follow up with las cannon shots.  Usually good for glancing a land raider or knocking off a rhino

Well, it was a great game. Florida certainly knew they were in a scrap.

I've lost my pants, spilled drinks everywhere, and am screaming myself hoarse.  What a game!

SEC for the win baby!
