Adepticon 2011

This was supposed to be the year I went to Adepticon. I was very excited about that. But the unemployment and upcoming fatherhood have thrown a bit of a wrench into those plans. So no Adepticon for me. It's a bit difficult reading about everyone else going, all over Blogger and the fora I visit. But I'll survive. Maybe I will try to get some more gaming at home in this weekend.

I may not be going to Adepticon, but some of my recent commission work is! I just painted most of the Cinematic Effects range of accessories for Armorcast. One of the owners was putting together a really nice looking display for them when I recently dropped off the remainder of the pieces. They're really unique items and were an interesting change of pace to paint. Especially the "HE hamster rounds." ;)

I don't do much sci-fi anymore, but I'm hoping to try using some on a few figures in the near future. (Digging through old piles of minis!) At any rate, stop by & see what they've got. I believe they will have some new figures on display and for sale as well.

Winter/Spring Events

Looks like I'm bailing out of BASHcon's WFB tournament on Feb 21 unless I can find a way out there. I've made it the past two years and had a good time. I was hoping to bring the Marienburgers this time around (I ran skaven the last two years.)

The second weekend of March I'll be at Cold Wars in Lancaster. So far my only plan is to play in the WAB tournament. I'm hoping there will be a medieval division as there was at Historicon. I don't have enough classical figures done to play in the doubles, and it's my understanding that medievals aren't allowed in the doubles tournament.

*If anyone is interested in some non-tournament WAB (especially medievals) let me know. I'd like to set up something informal/friendly.

Since I will be at Cold Wars, I will obviously not be attending the Marauders Mayhem spring event in Dayton, as it is the same weekend.

Adepticon is the first weekend of April. I had wanted to attend and play in the WAB event(s) both for my own enjoyment and to encourage the event to continue & grow. But right now with my employment being on shakey ground because of the languishing economy, I'm not sure I can spend the money. There might be a slim chance if I can find a cheap way out (carpool?) and a place to crash (track down old friends in town?)

In the middle of May is the second Recess Rumble. I'll have to see how much I can revamp my Empire army in time for this.

At least that's the more formal events. There's a couple small, local things going on with both WFB & WAB.
