The final hours before war...

Next weekend is the final tournament day for Escalation League. Here is the lowdown.

$10 entry. Winner gets the pot at the end along with the trophy.
Bring whatever you want to drink.

Here is the bracket:

And the winner gets a Golden Demon...

Hahah made you look... but no seriously.. a Golden Demon. Thanks to Tim and Kevin for the figures!

Done for 1500.

All done

Here are a couple of detail shots.

First tile finished!

This one has drybrushing, technicals and basing material added. Let me know what you think. The other 5 are close!

Tiles taking shape

Got all the basecoat and all the wash done. Gonna do details/clean-up tile by tile this week. Then I am going to add technicals and drybrush. Probably finish next weekend...

Game over

DA wins it by one point, thanks to line breaker. Brutal game, not much left on the board

Turn 2

Basecoat begun

So incredibly humid today. It's taking 4x longer for spray to dry. Anyway, grey Krylon fusion basecoat is down. I randomly masked off some of the metals and sprayed them too. This should save time and add some areas of interest to the final look.

Guard & cypher vs DA

Deployment

Sector Imperialis- underway!

They're washed and even that was not fun!

Behold the swarm of death.

a whopping 6003 points of nids (barbed heirdule yet to be assembled) all without ANY upgrades....just base WYSIWYG models. Emperor Protect us.

Infinity Escalation

Chris and I were talking about potentially doing an Infinity Escalation League in the near future. If you don't know anything about it, it's a skirmish game with highly detailed minis, the combat tactics are very well thought out and the game is a lot of fun, doesn't take much time. The biggest list is around 300pts. Feel free to take a look a www.infinitythegame.com The website has all the minis and a great list builder. Let me know if anyone would have interest in playing. I am assuming we would probably do something like 100, 150, 200, 250, 300.

It has been a while since we played it, but the rules are free in pdf form and they have a very comprehensive wiki that can answer a lot of the rules questions during the game. We would probably all be learning over again while the new people are learning as well.

battlescribe question

So i have both battle scribe for my iPad and my pc. i can access data slate formations on my ipad but not my pc. i have no idea if its from a repository spot or if its just the pc version being stupid. anyone have a couple repositories they use i can try. i use the "official" ones from battle scribe and they still don't seem to be available on the pc.

2v2 on the 22nd

anyone want to play a game against James and I on the 22nd. He wants to bring his Dark angels out to play again.

Campaign Refresher

Hi All,
I wanted to touch base with everyone on the upcoming campaign. I know Tony and Tyler have abandoned Orks (because they suck). My understanding is that they will be playing Space Wolves and Black Templars respectively.

Can I please get everyone to confirm their participation and their army selection in the next few days? I need to revise the campaign background, possibly realign the factions and get to work on the maps if we're going to start in October as planned.

In His name,
Chris

The Wolf Time Approaches..

I have always loved Wolves, since I very first started the game a few years ago. So I decided to go all out on this release and pick up the Wolf Guard edition of the codex. It is a beautiful set. The objective marker coins are excellent, and all of the books are beautiful, with copper edged pages.

It came down to the last men...

Red Scorpions won. The Necrons and Red Corsairs acquited themselves with honor. Maelstrom makes every game a nailbiter! Thanks for a fun and fast paced game to Kevin and Tyler! 

Oh and they did blow up a Fellblade ;)

Moar pics, turn one...

More pics!!!

More pics, turn two

Big battle!

Red Scorpions destroyed three units on turn one. Below are pre game and turn one pics.
