Work has been impossible this year and my old computer broke but at least I got a bit of painting done earlier in the year.
Yesterday I tried painting a chequerboard terminator shoulder pad and its coming out OK. It takes forever; you could go mental doing chequerboard patterns across an entire army.

Yeah feck that (i am going to try my best to make 'feck' more popular than the word 'fuck' and maybe start something)!
I've been painting a stormvermin. Besides that my half sister is forcing me to clean just about everything or no GW tomorrow. Thing is i think i may get a friend to take me out if i should fail to clean the house enough. I've been cleaning it a lot though. Her and my brother-in-law are so anal about how clean it is though even though they haven't seen it since before i started cleaning. Ugh.
Chances are my room being dirty is the one factor that'll prevent me from going to GW. It sucks to run out of paper towels.

Oh well nobody probably remembers that so i can pretend it's still original. Wouldn't convince you though. I must eliminate emptyhat then buhuhahahahaha. Or not. I suck at that sort of thing. I can imagine you'd make some super convoluted plan for killing us though lol. Joking about all this of course.

It was just made popular by the show, which retains enduringly fond memories.

I haven't gotten much warhammer gaming done. I've been painting quite a bit though while in the GW store and not getting a game. I might show the stormvermin i'm working on later.
Other than that i've been playing 'Overlord'. It's a rather fun game.

You should ask someone to take a picture of your painted models and email it to you.

I must not have mentioned about the game i won last saturday. It was against wood elves. Basically i destroyed everything of his except the main unit by within 10 models or so (some of his miscast destroyed that). My cracks call spell killed his treeman, destroyed a building and killed off my grey seer by finishing him off. I also used 13th and scorch on his units.
At the end he just hugged the trees mostly with his last unit and apparently wood elves have an item they can take on characters that allows them to teleport from forest to forest. Didn't help there was 4 forests across the board so whenever things looked bad he would just teleport the unit across the board. Even in the end i surrounded 3 of the forests but there was a 4th i couldn't get to. His stupid mage ended up killing most of my stormvermin in my BSB and general's unit and forced them to panic (i think they'd most likely run off the board). Honestly if it didn't end by turn 6 chances are his annoying crap would've killed me. My abomination did some good stuff. The storm banner did a mixture of helping but often hurting my stormfiends shooting.
Anyway i won but it was hard. That tree teleport ability is kinda OP. At least he can't charge after doing so and if i recall it counts as a march so i don't think he can shoot.

I can't believe you're complaining when you fucking annihilated his entire army except for a single plucky elf mage AND had him surrounded almost. The elf sounds pretty hardcore, like some serious mage you shouldn't have messed with..

The elf sounds pretty hardcore, like some serious mage you shouldn't have messed with.. It's more the ability to teleport from forest to forest and being unable to pin them down should they stay in the forest. I'd need ranged attacks whether shooting or magic as close combat forces me to keep all the forests in my charge arc. As for my opponent he's even said combined elves are OP as well as nagash and he's played with both. I'm honestly thinking all end times units are OP at this point. This may even consider the skaven stuff. That said i heard tomb kings and beastmen needed it just to be worth it. ----------- I was unable to play a game today which was very unfortunate. I instead painted and got a friend's phone number. Sadly said friend is not interested enough to play fantasy and if he does he'll play skaven so we'd have yet another skaven player. Personally i'm not sure where all this skaven love is coming from but i'm guessing from under the floor boards being rats and all.

I went to the central London flagship hq gw store today to find out that it's moved downstairs in the Plaza buiding and will move to Tottenham Court road within 2 weeks. But I ordered my Whirlwind! Can't believe its mail order only now and that means I have to go back and pick it up. It's annoying that my local store near where I work is closed monday and Tuesday.

So things have been weird since i last wrote here. Not sure if you've talked to empty and he's told you but after a while i was talking to somebody i thought was FFE on the dakka boards and asked them for a game of warhammer fantasy. When the time came for them to supposedly makes plans for a game since they'd be home the person just vanished completely without an explanation. Some time afterward i found a fairly similar undead army as described being played by a guest player on universal battle (the virtually played warhammer fantasy site). I talked to them about it and told them i was annoyed provided they were that person. Anyway it was all so stupid. I loved her and to an extent still do but it's rather pathetic just how much she seems to avoid me. I find it very confusing if that was her why she'd speak back and schedule a game if she didn't want one and then would wait 5 days to cancel and disappear without a word as to why. According to her that was the work computer she was on so maybe that was why but still i don't get it. That said i'm kind of pathetic for being unable to find somebody else. I really need to get out and meet women. A GW filled with mostly dudes and a factory also filled with mostly dudes and only women that are too old and completely unavailable is not a good setup to meet a woman with those being my only social outlets in real life.
On the subject of GW i was also feeling somewhat depressed a couple weeks back or so when i couldn't get a game in or paint and there was a fairly pretty girl that's about to get into the hobby there. When i asked whose girlfriend she was a guy got mad and said not to flirt with her because she hates it or something. The store manager also got mad later when i brought up she was pretty and said not to make her uncomfortable or he'd kick me from the store or something. Funny how that week i felt so unwanted in the store and actually felt more uncomfortable around the new girl than anything. I almost felt like i didn't want to go to the GW store any longer. A couple guys have helped me to feel better there but overall the GW i go to makes me feel unwelcome and i'd rather not go there much longer if things keep up. When i went back on saturday things improved and the girl still came though nearly at the end of the day but i was again uncomfortable around her. I did stutter a bit or had trouble with words but you know.
Anyway as far as the hobby has gone i actually got quite a bit done. I built my vermin lord up from nothing (turned him into a 'warbringer'), finished the 5 clanrats and even made a warp grinder (which is metal). I also have a bunch of 20 slings on order for when i next go up to GW that i will add to a bunch of clanrats to have them as stand-in nightrunners. I figure 40 nightrunners with a warp-grinder would make a rather fun unit for some behind the lines shenanigans.
Oh and even bigger news being i played a game against a lizardmen friend and i won pretty handily. We agreed he couldn't do much and i was most likely going to win. Most of his stuff was getting torn to pieces but 2 of his monsters were somewhat in the game. Oddly enough he didn't take a slann or much higher level magic so somehow my magic phases usually trumped his and i was able to shut him down more easily. That usually happens though when you have a level 4 going up against a level 2 casting a spell or bound spell magic which gets no boosts to cast. He nearly took out my abomination on turn one though with a lucky bound flaming spell (it died later from a spell in his turn 2 i think and did all of nothing). During the game i'd say my vermin lord, stormfiends (though they sure took their time with their slow asses) and my stormvermin with my general and BSB did a good job and were to an extent my MVP's.
Other than that i'm not doing much but trying to figure out some weird new loadouts for skaven. We'll see if i can get anything.

Yeah; you don't want to get into a ruck in your local GW. You need to be less direct, non-pestering and a bit witty; getting someone to hate you will never work. Instead of going somewhere else just try reigning yourself in a bit. If people are interested in you they will hold up large placards telling you so. Just say 'hello, goodbye' and be polite; smile a little bit but don't grin like a maniac Yoda taught me all of this in my dreams by the way; and I just typed everything with one hand because in my other hand I have ...... a plastic marine apothecary..... Level 4 .. Is it possible to make a magic heavy Empire army? I think I have a couple of old metal wizards that could go into a small all metal army but don't want to buy/ look for the grand theogonist on the altar thingy.

Empire normally don't specialize in magic. Normally high elves and lizardmen (esp. lizardmen) focus on magic. I suppose you can do it if you want.
Somehow i even managed to convince some people on dakka to use the pox rat or the flying carpet for a chieftain or similar to get some chaff killing in and to re-direct the enemy possibly. I think it's a good possible choice but it is very much out of left field and nobody has thought of using either before.
I like to be direct though. It lets people know your motives and what you're about and how you're feeling. Being indirect leaves so much to interpretation and getting things wrong. People should always be direct unless being direct won't work. I think the major problem is how i'm kind of a poor sport when playing the game itself. I need to control my temper while in a game. I used to keep that under control but after a while they didn't mind cursing as much and when i started to lose more frequently the cursing and anger became more frequent.

You know i have to ask. Considering hand flamers has anybody thought of making a space marine model with face flamers or face boltguns. I just think it'd be funny. I mean there's no need to line up the gun to your face since it's already there.
