Terrain Time #2

 

Two weeks of posts in a row?!!? Let me explain... So as I said in my last post I had my birthday.  In honor of the occasion  I will be getting the Indianapolis division of Team Waynedale together.  Yes, 3 of us in the last 3 years made the 2 hour move south to the state capital.  As and added bonus the Oxford division also is also able to join.  We are doing things a bit differently this time around and meeting at my place on the south side instead of meeting up at Clint's place on the north side.  This event gave me the motivation to finish two pieces of terrain I'd been working on that have fallen to the way side in the past few months.

Privateer press has made a fool of me (again).

As of late I have been assembling a unit of Obstructors to get a feel for the 30mm infantry models in the Convergence/WMH.  So far I'm a fan.  With the pegs present on the legs and torsos, it's easy to rotate parts and create multiple, dynamic poses beyond what's on the display box.

Painting infantry is incredibly tedious, but seeing other hobbyist's work is inspiring me to get my butt into gear.  This unit was done by Ridmasta over at Fanplastic Little Men

Still, as with most PP models, there was a moment of weirdness.

Speed painting: New Solo for the Swans

So yeah, I know it has been a long time.  Like I've said before, I am finishing up my thesis so I can graduate with my Masters of Science.  So between that and my lack of finances I really haven't been able to devote a lot of time to Warmahordes.  Clint and I have had a few pick-up games here and there.  But, really my involvement in the hobby has taken an extreme down turn in recent months.

Optfex and Axis finsihed!

It's been awhile, but I finally made time to finish the Optifex.  On top of that I painted Axis, the Harmonic Enforcer to boot!  I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to use them on the table top, but hopefully it's soon!

For something that looks so sinister, all they do is repair and buff vectors

 I'm really happy with how the Optifex turned out.  Inking the warm colors really made them pop, plus I love the fiery "crazy eyes," which gives the models a flair of fanatical zeal not seen elsewhere in the Convergence faith.

On the Culture War, Gaming, and that Minor GamerGate Thing.

On the Culture War, Gaming, and that Minor GamerGate Thing.

Waynedale Gamer

            I know what you are all thinking right at this moment.  I do, you are thinking “Holy shit, Waynedale Gamer speaks after a long silence, I must, at all cost, hear what this god amongst us lowly mortals is going to say.”  It is okay; you can think like that, I am comfortable with my mantle of divinity.

            Without getting into everything, and regardless if we wanted it to happen or not, the modern culture war has spread into the gaming world and it is not a good thing.  Well, let me tell you who to blame, and how to fix it.

            You see, unlike real life, there is actually a meaning to the existence of the gaming world, and that is to provide us all the entertainment we want and need so we can forget about our meaningless existences in the real world.  The gaming world is not the place for a culture war, the gaming world is a place to play games….albeit I guess someone could make a game about a culture war, but that would be different from fighting the actual culture war…I think.
