Musings & Meta Tournaments Work-in-progress

Blog Comments and Batter Drones

I noticed the other day that comments on old posts were closed, which is not a situation I want to be in — I’d like people to be able to comment on anything, at any time in the past! I just found the setting that was messing with that and turned it off, so hopefully its fixed now!

I needed more batter drones for big games of Antares. One of our guys bought an army online that had some drones done up like this —

It’s the metal spotter drones (of which I have a million extras) and the phalanges from the subverter matrix. Cut off the drone wings, glue on the phalanges, and be very, very patient.

 

The price of Wet Coast GT this weekend went down by half, because the TO decided to make it a one-day event. Unfortunately, with summer finally here in Vancouver, the event isn’t getting as much love as it should. So if you’re in the area and want to play a big megabattle, and get some swag, come on up to Vancouver (or down to us, or sideways)!

I’m still really hoping I get to go. My brand new daughter is still in the hospital, and isn’t allowed to leave until she shows she can survive outside of a medical environment. She just has to figure out “eating” and she gets to come home (she’s premature). If she does that before this weekend, it’s all hands on deck at home as we struggle to figure out what life looks like in this new world order!

If I do get to WCGT, I’m planning to bring my good camera and I’ll see about getting some quality photos up here next week. I think I also need to replace my phone camera lens, if possible – it’s become very hazy.

    Best of luck with the family, and congrats! Hope everything works out well.

    Now that I’ve played two games of 8th ed 40K, I may just get back into gaming enough to warrant doing some tournaments again in the future. My focus definitely shifted more over to the painting side once my son was born (it’s easier to find an hour or two to paint here and there, compared to the amount of time and effort needed to organize a game with friends), but now that he’s older (he’s almost 9, and is painting up his own Space Marines now), I find that I miss the gaming side more.

    My friend Duke has a similar issue – his daughter is 2, almost 3. He and I get a game in about once a year, which isn’t enough, but you do what you can do. 🙂 Once I’m in the swing of being parental, I expect I’ll try to be a little more pro-active about carving out that once-a-year game with him. 🙂
