Adepticon 2012: Part V

Going into the third round I was excited to be positioned where I was and thankful for playing both Necrons and Tau, but my odds of dodging Grey Knights were diminishing with each passing round. Bracing myself for the inevitable thrashing at the hands of Grey Knights I once again waited in line for the pairings posted on the wall and headed off to find out what awaited me at ‘Table 95’.

Not the Actual table, but you get the idea...

Memorial Day: Remembering What We Lost

Memorial Day 2012:

On the 6th of September, 2007 just after 23:00 hours local time outside the city of Mosul, in Northern Iraq, three soldiers of 2nd Platoon, Alpha Troop, 1st Squadron, 9th U.S. Cavalry were killed when their vehicle was destroyed by a roadside bomb. They were brothers, fathers, husbands and sons who signed up to ride with the Cavalry knowing full well what lay ahead. 

TFM: Radio Lab, A Little OT

Hey all! Just dropping a quick line to encourage some readers to have a listen to the most recent (At the time of me posting this.) offering from Radio Lab. I am huge fan of this Podcast anyway, but this episode discusses and has a lot of cool discourses on colors. The covers of different color related songs are cool as well. As someone who enjoys painting miniatures, I in turn also enjoy thinking about colors to put on them. The connection is tangential to the content of the podcast, but I found it fascinating. Perhaps others will as well.

Thanks for reading,

TFM: Fire Warrior Needs A Base

From still practicing_

On Saturday I was hanging out at the park with my wife and kids. While my wife was following our toddler around, my son and I were hanging out a bench watching the bedlam that is play equipment at a public park. I noticed that the outfit my son was wearing would make for a pretty cool scheme. So when we got home later that evening I grabbed a fire warrior, because I have a jillion of them, and tried it out. In all I like it. But I always like painted fire warriors. That mini gets a huge pass from me because I think they look so cool.
