Dang, I'm about 5 weeks from the end of my gaming year.
For Warhammer 40K, its going to be my worst record ever.
Not that I'm too worried. If you read my blog over the years, you know I've had bad years before.
Interestingly, my win/loss record does somewhat reflect what is going on in the game elsewhere...Blood Angels are near the bottom of all factions concerning winning or losing. Ultramarines are struggling. Overall, I'll write a summary of it all sometime in mid-late August.
A few highlights from this week!
1. I'm working to get ready for the next Rockport Invitational - this July event is a 1500 point city fight hybrid event, and it should be an awesome day of gaming, food, and beer. I'm looking to build a Ultramarines list that will be fun to play - and it will include what I have for blue painted Primaris marines and such. I've been having issues with battlescribe this week (since their last upgrade) but I'm hoping to field something like:
Marneus Calgar
His bodyguards
Librarian
Lieutenant
Three Primaris Infantry Squads
Dread(s)s
Terminator(s)s
Whirlwind(s)s if space permits.
Overall, terrain is supposed to be dense (city like) with related scenarios, so who knows?
I might actually try out the new GW contrast paints as part of the process of getting ready! I watched a great video last night that showed the process, and it was a good summary of getting table-top ready blue guys.
2. I got contacted by an old 40K buddy! Willy! (nickname). He is in the Army and works in North Carolina! It ends up he now plays at the game store also occupied by the Long War guys, and he gets to hang with them. I might road trip through the Carolinas in August, and if I do we might get together for a beer and game!
All for now, have a great weekend. I got stuff to build, paint, mow, sail, and boycott. Should be good times!
MING
