Last week's recap (now that I have photos).

o/

As is so often the case with me, there was really no focus on the gaming front last week. Instead I did a little of this & a little of that. We're quickly heading into the best part of Autumn as well, so my time spent outdoors has spiked here of late as well. But anyways, here's what I got:

First off, I stripped, modified & repainted my Battletech APCs. Now painted as the 'local podunk militia'.  The bits added make them look a hellova lot better in my opinion. However the problem with that is, I only had enough to do 2 of the 5 that I have. I sent a parts query to Dream Pod 9 to see if I could get some more w/o buying another Bear/Mad Dog blister (that I don't need). So far there's been no response, so these may just be it for the podunks, will have to wait & see.

Secondly, I found & painted up my last Quar Royalist. When painting the others I belatedly realized I was missing one. He had gotten mixed into the pile of unassembled Crusaders (their arch enemies). Speaking of the Crusaders, I have 2 assembled and one half painted now. Wil see how that one comes out before I go any further I suppose.

Lastly, last Sunday Screech & I went to play in Morristown. I brought my Red Corsairs which were the only army of mine to not yet be fielded in 6th ed. Once again I got tabled, though to be honest it was a fairly close fought game. I was tabled by the same Nidzilla list that my 'Fluff Bunny Eldar' tabled some ways back, and when my last model fell, all that was left of the Nids were 2 Tervigons that had about 4 wounds between them (of which I think half had been regenerated). So yeah, was a good game.

Actually, the Corsairs will translate rather well into 6th I think. Aside from a rhino & Predator that I've added, they have no other vehicles, just bulk infantry. They have a havoc squad of 4 missile launchers meaning I'll have anti-air capabilities whenever I get the funds to buy the $50 Chaos coffee table book (of all of the complaints of the old codex, I never heard anyone say: I wish they'd almost double the price of the new one).

Also the corsairs came with a fair number of Daemons. While I'm not especially fond of the idea of getting that book, I suppose I'll have to for an allied contingent, and they will be lead by a demon named 'Harold' (...snicker...). Also, I had a thought on the Strighori Vampire you see at left. The army came with a bunch of those which I presume were meant to be possessed. However given do you think anyone would mind them being used as Warp Talons (whose models I don't much care for)?

And that about covers everything. This evening Hive Angel and his supposedly 'veteran' battletech force will once again be invading the Taurian Concordat. My 3rd. Red Lancers & one of the Podunk APCs above (used as an LRM variant) shall be valiantly fending them off, or trying to anyways...
