I see there are still people visiting, so I’ll try to make an effort to keep it updated. Let’s see what I’ve been up to since the last post…

  • Played Ogres a few times in WHFB. Got beaten enough that I figured it must not be the army for me, so I sold/traded them for High Elves.
  • Played a game or three of WHFB with the High Elves at one of the Circle City Circuit tournaments and felt pretty good about how they play, though I did get trounced most of the time.
  • Won a painting contest at Circle City Circuit #2 with a Ultraforge Treewoman. There were only two other entries, though.
  • Painted a High Elf Battle Standard Bearer to very high standard for the Scibor Painting Contest. I also entered Pandora, Candy and my Lord of the Feast. Pandora was chosen for the final voting.
  • Assembled and painted more than 50 points of Hordes Circle Orboros for my eKaya army.
  • Played in a Warmachine invitational tournament where I won game 1 and lost the other two rounds.  No worries, though. I got to hang out with some good friends and talk about painting with some folks.
  • Started playing Warhammer 40,000 again since Games To Die For is running a 40K league starting at 600 points. I bought into Dark Eldar. Played my first three games and ended up winning just one against Imperial Guard.
  • Bought a Wacom Intuos4 Medium tablet and Painter 11 with which I’ve done some practice drawings. They didn’t turn out as well as I hoped.
  • I’m currently taking a Life Drawing class at Ivy Tech to try and improve my drawing skills.
  • Sold/traded a lot of the smaller miniatures games and CCGs in lieu of those I can find opponents (and models) for. I’m still working on dropping Infinity and Malifaux. I also unloaded a bunch of roleplaying books to clean up stuff I know I’ll likely never use. I’m keeping Pulp City and MERCS for now.

I guess that’s not all that much for almost 8 months.

In the near future I hope to post some pictures of the models I’ve painted and maybe some digital/traditional art I have done.

Here’s the link: http://www.circlecitygamers.com.

Enjoy!

I mostly did so because my awesome wife encouraged me to do so (yes, the same person who was Future Wife). She thought it looked good and that it might somehow help someone out there. So, with that kind of support, how could I not do it?

I’ll try to keep it up to date more often with the different games I am playing and with updates to my Projects page. Feel free to look around and see what I’ve updated today.

Hopefully, I’ll get back to the modeling and painting soon. I know I have to have a mini done and sent off before Nov. 15th at the very least for the NACORD Mini Exchange.

Check ‘em out and lemme know what you think.

No big deal except the templates aren’t as customizable. No biggie. I still think WordPress is pretty good for what it is. Besides, it allows for extra pages of content that I don’t believe Blogger does.

Soon, I’ll be updating this blog with some pics of AT-43, Spinespur, and probably some other stuff. Maybe I’ll even post something about Gen Con ’07 even though it was months ago. Maybe I won’t. I do want to put up my thoughts on Confrontation: Age of Ragnarok and the army lists that are out so far. Either way, I would like to get back to updating this thing.

I’m using this blog as a way for me to motivate myself to get some things done. I figure if I go through the trouble of posting about projects I’m working on, it will motivate me to finish said projects. ‘Course, if no one ever reads the thing besides me, then I guess it’s really pointless. Oh well, we’ll see.

I’m personally not a huge fan of blogs, but as a tool to motivate me to finish some projects, I figure “What the hell!”.
