This week was...well, rough. The good news is that we survived and are faring better at the end than we were at the beginning, so there is that.

| So much for that splash of color... |
Throughout the course of the majority of it, hobbying was not an option. That said, one day I was perusing the Kill Team rulebook during my lunch break, pondering how to kit out my Silver Drakes (because Intercessors have sooo many options right?), only to find that Intercessor Sergeants cannot have the stalker pattern bolt rifle that mine wields, yay.
The one guy that I have painted was invalidated before he even got to lead his team.

| Demotion complete! |
As such a demotion was in order. Luckily repainting just the helmet was a quick alteration, requiring little time other than for the inking to dry. Hell, that alone took more time than everything else combined. As such, this guy is now a gunner and with his fancy wrist communicator, he'll serve as my team's comms specialist. Given that my Intercessors only hit on a 4+ (before modifiers), his +1 to hit for one friendly model within 6" will no doubt be greatly appreciated by me!
Anyways, hopefully this week will be a lot more like normal, and as such, I'm thinking of doing a bit of batch painting to crank out most of the team in one go. I'll let ya know how that works out on Thursday...

If anyone asks, steeple your fingers and say 'just as planned!'
lol, maniacal grin and all? Yeah I can do that!
Um. A Sarge can totally take a Stalker or Auto Bolt Rifle. Upgrades that are listed as "This Model may..." can be taken by anyone from that Datasheet. The upgrades specifically listed for the Sarge can't be taken by anyone else, but they aren't the only upgrades the Sarge can take.
Compare with the other SM Datasheets, where they specifically list Reiver vs. Reiver Sarge, Scout vs. Scout Sarge, rather than This Model vs. Intercessor Sarge.
Great...I read it wrong, and demoted a guy who didn't deserve it. Well I'm not re-repainting it back to the way it was.
...sigh...
I'm wondering if that guy holds a grudge ?
Or maybe is wracked with doubts about his ability to hold down that job ?
Of course, if he suspects that others might perceive him as a weak link, he might overcompensate....
So many variables, just 'coz you repainted his helmet.
lol, no doubt he'll hold a grudge and go all 'Aurora scout sniper' on me rolling either 1s & 2s to hit, or if by some chance he does hit, then that again to wound. :-/
