Garage Sale

In order to help fund a new business venture, as well as make space for it, I am going to be having a Gamer Garage Sale at my house (Google Maps link with the address) on Saturday November 18th from 12 to 4 pm.

I will be creating lists of the minis on sale and then linking to them here. Anyone should feel free to arrange a sale in advance.

Space Marine miniatures
Confrontation miniatures
Warmachine miniatures
Misc. figs and books
Confrontation Kelt and Dirz miniatures
Hordes miniatures

As well as the miniatures listed above I will have probably about 100-200 miniatures not posted in these lists. Things like Necromunda miniatures, misc. LoTR minis and various 40K figs that I don't have the time to list.

Update:
I also have some Epic miniatures, an entire painted Warmaster Orc army, a Blood Bowl game, tons of plastic Junker and Viridian miniatures, some Warmaster Chaos Greater Daemons and more Dark Eldar than you can shake as stick at.

Warmachine madness

There was a sale recently at my FLGS and on the same day I traded some Vs. cards to another local store for some store credit so I am swamped with new Warmachine and Hordes minis. To be honest its a single Hordes miniature, another Woldwatcher to replace the Warpwolf in my non-Kaya Circle forces. The rest of the pile is new Menoth miniatures to expand the Menoth miniatures I added quite recently.

The recent haul is:

• Redeemer
  
• Devout
• Zealot boxed set
• Flameguard boxed set
• Zealot Monolith Bearer

I also picked up another Senescahl to use to convert a leader for the second unit of Knights Exemplar. So I should be able to table both of those once I get them rebased. So I've now got more than enough minis to build a 500pt force.

Mind you in my urge to get troops etc I failed to pick up a Feora miniature. So I currently only have Kreoss.

Update: Well the stack of minis just got even more ridiculous. Quite some time ago I did some writing for Fanatic Magazine and only recently got off my ass to arrange to get paid. Andy at SG asked if I minded getting paid in minis instead of cash, as if there was really any doubt as to the answer.

I have, for some time, been very impressed with the Vostroyan minis that they released for 40K and so I got a stack of those as well as some minis to expand my 40K Orc army. So I have to add three boxed sets and close to 16 blisters of minis to the total of new figs coming in the door this weekend.

I think I need to have a garage sale to get rid of some of my older minis to make space for the new ones.

Federation Commander

Had an opportunity to play another game of Federation Commander last night at the monthly Trumpeter's Friday Game Night. Had quite a lot of fun and am really starting to take a shine to this game. Despite not having a real firm grasp of the rules we were able to get a two player Duel game done in a few hours and there was not really any time I wasn't quite involved in the game.

In order to keep the game simple we played a cruiser and frigate each and I took the Klingons. The game was going quite well until my opponent, Andrew, managed to hit my D7C cruiser with two Photon torpedo volleys and eliminate all but one Disruptor on the Klingon cruiser. Weapons I had forgone firing since I wanted to get in closer to maximise my chances to hit with overloaded Disruptors. Curses!

Luckily I was able to overcome this early setback and still take the game but quite a lot of that had to do with some late game dice luck (or lack of it) as Andrew missed with Photons at a critical point.

One issue that I really didn't notice before was the change in the game that is bought about but having the offensive and Defensive Fire phases placed after four possible sub-impulses of movement. You tend to move slightly more than you think before being able to fire and also have fewer opportunities to take out Drones at a distance.

All in all it was a fun game and I am looking forward to playing the game again soon.

Romans and wrecks

Work has let up a bit so I have had some time to work on a few projects. The last of the Republican Romans for the first 1000 points of my Warmaster Ancients army are almost done. The troops stands are done and I just finished painting the command stands. They are currently drying after their coat of Vallejo Flat Earth on the bases and then I will finishing flocking them later today.

As well I have finally gotten around to creating some wreck markers for Warmachine. Three large bases and two medium bases even though my Khador army doesn't have any Light Warjacks. all of the markers were assembled from a Khador Destroyer and some random parts from on old 40K Orc Deth Kopta. I'll be painting those today as well if I have time and will be posting some pictures of them.

In order to fill out the bases I used some of the Vallejo Pumice that I purchased recently. I tried it with some Urban bases I did and wasn't thrilled with it. So it will be interesting to see how well it works on these markers.

Republican Romans

Part of the problem about running TGN (other than the time it requires) is that since I write about gaming every day I don't update my blog as often as I would like. I'm still gaming as often as I used to but I just don't find the time to write about it as frequently.

The last few days have been spent getting the first 1000 points of my Republican Roman Warmaster Ancients army ready for a gaming event this Friday. The army is technically illegal as it requires two units of Heavy Cavalry to bring me up to 1000 points and I also only painted three units of Legion troops. Not sure why that happened.

Brian gave me some lightly armoured spearmen with shields that were sent to him in a Baccus order by mistake and I think that I will be using those as my Italian Allies instead of the troops that Baccus provided. If only to provide some visual interest but also to make it very clear which units are Allies and which are Legion units. I'm just working on the general and Tribune stands now and once those are done I will take some pictures and post them. I'll also take some pictures of the games on Friday and post those as well.
