Interesting News...
...so, I've never actually visited an "official" GW store - there aren't any in my state, only independent retailers. But while catching up on blogs last night, the guys at 40K Origins mentioned that there will soon be a GW store in my town. While I'm interested, my main concerns are that this store is on the extreme opposite side of town from me (probably a ~40 minute drive), and that this location is tiny - there's no way there's gonna be more than 1 or 2 tables there. I'm also concerned with how this is going to affect GW's support of the independent stores that I frequent. Still, I'm sure I'll check it out when it opens...

...so anyway, where was I?
Hello all -
It's no secret that I have a lot of hobbies, and it's not unusual for my involvment in any one of them to come or go for a few months. Well, shortly before the holidays last year, I got the urge to do some PC gaming - and, somehow, this showed up at my doorstep:
... a couple weeks later, this happened:
... and then, THIS happened:
... all of that was enough to make me like
And if all that, wasn't enough, a couple of weeks before Christmas I had surgery - nothing major, but enough to put me out of commission physically for a month. And, of top of that, this was one of my Christmas presents from my wife:
That's Ripley - she's a lot bigger now, and quite a handful. So, needless to say, between marathon PC gaming sessions, being physically wrecked, and taking care of a new puppy, the blog fell by the wayside. Nevertheless, I have returned and plan to have things back an running at full steam shortly. Quick pertinent stuff I want to get out there:
- Lars4life & I will be attending Adepticon 2012! Drop us a line if you're going and want to hang out!
- A BIG kitbash project is in the works as the final piece for my Ork army.
-GenCon 2012 badges were purchased tonight!
Lots more stuff is coming, give me a few days to sort through my pics and put things together...

Mystery Project Pt. IV
The next clue to my "mystery project":
...needless to say, the "electronics" aspect of this project is quickly growing out-of-hand...

Gamma World
Our gaming group got together a little while ago and played another round of Gamma World:
I had a great time at this session, and am starting to feel more at home with the system - I felt like I made a lot better use of the Alpha Mutations & Omega Tech this time around. I had an awesome moment in the second combat:
...after which I was immediately knocked unconscious for several rounds. (I've found that our GM is not shy about handing out beatings in Gamma World). I think we're close to the end of this particular adventure - I look forward to seeing how it ends!
Eeek, killer robots!

ChapterHouse Studios Conversion Bits
I got an order in from ChapterHouse Studios the other day:
...this is a set of their Gun-Halberd Weapons and a couple of the Imperial/Eagle Storm Shields. The halberds will be used for my Grey Knights - I just thought the shields were cool, I don't necessarily have a plan for them yet. This is the first time I've ordered anything from ChapterHouse. I've looked at their stuff before, but never pulled the trigger - I heard an interview with Nick from ChapterHouse on Episode 8 of the Screaming Heretic podcast, and decided to give it a shot. Their stuff looks good, and it's nice to not have to wait for parts to get here from the UK or Poland for once!

Airbrush Parts Tip
A couple of posts ago I mentioned that I got a Badger SOTAR 20/20 airbrush, and that I was going to try to buy the parts to convert it from a "fine" setup to a "medium" - the problem is, SOTAR parts are really expensive! And while I've never had anything but excellent service and super fast shipping from Badger's own supplier, I'm happy that I discovered you can get a lot of Badger airbrush parts WAY cheaper on Amazon - I paid less than half of what Wyn-Wyn wanted for the same parts:
Now I have everything I need to convert my SOTAR - check it out if you need parts on the cheap!
