As any student of military history of say...the last hundred years or so will know, the key to victory for any military offensive, is to assign an off the wall & distracting name for it. Thus, reaching into left field, I came up with: Operation Caliban Cantina!
This Saturday evening, gaming at the FLGS will recommence after a fairly long hiatus. When summer hits, all the college kids go home, everyone else goes outside, etc., and gaming ceases. Then the FLGS moved to a new location (conveniently leaving the old one which is still leased to be used for indoor R/C racing & gaming). While its somewhat surprising that I haven't yet encountered aircraft in 40k yet when visiting Morristown, odds are good that I might this weekend, and so I figured I ought to counter this threat.

However in a misguided act of diplomacy, the Wardens thought to both welcome and honor their mysterious brethren by naming this offensive after them. Relations between the two chapters however seem to have gotten of to a bad start...
Perhaps the Librarian misread his Emperor's Tarot when seeking an honorable moniker?
As for the Bastion, I gotta question for all of you Necron players out there: How does one transport a monolith sized hunk-o-plastic to the FLGS on a regular basis without worry of the little fiddly bits (heavy bolters mainly) breaking off? It sure as hell won't fit in a sabol tray, and I was hoping that there's a better option than 'just put it in the passenger seat and try to minimize the sharp turns'.
I'm partial to buying the thickest foam (8") and cutting through so there are layers that stack around it. I then use the rest of the foam as usual. I did that with my sabol foam for my defiler and it worked well.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to wander around work & see if I could scrounge up a similarly sized box, and then go on a foam hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
PEANUTS! PEANUTS EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteShush you!
ReplyDeleteI just put them in a box that they wont shift much in. solid pieces if plastic past a certain size have never had breaks for me . my 2 liths have been in a box for nearly 4 years now (jesus, has it been that long.) and they haven't had a scratch yet
ReplyDeleteThis is all an amazing coincidence! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think Da Cheef has to worry about the condition of the model's paint (in addition to the small bits) as his isn't spay-painted Krylon Gold, and thus can take a few hits before anyone notices (though the glare usually causes everyone to look away).
ReplyDeletelol, I have several thin sheets of foam, will try that with a box till I can acquire some of the really thick stuff as Ian suggested above.
ReplyDeleteCheef, please try to remember what state you are in. If you'uns can't be fixin it wit ducktape n chicken wire, well sir it ain't needen fixin.
ReplyDeletenot all my stuff is krylon gold. some stuff got painted. if you want, I have 2 thick 4 inch pieces that I couldn't fit my monoliths in. they may work for ya
ReplyDeleteYa know RTVoril, just because your Fortress of Redemption is made is made of the same cardstock as your raiders doesn't necessarily mean that that applies to everyone's armies...
ReplyDeleteSure that'll work Madival. What do ya want for it, a Strighori?
