Is it just me, or Spriggan really good right now? Dual attack and Flare seem really handy.
I also don't remember the Decimator having knock down on its gun. That seems nuts on RoF 2. He was pretty much already my go to jack for a journeyman, now he seems like almost an auto include.

I've been messing around with list building in war room. I decided to just delete all my old lists. Who knows if they were still good or not. I assume Butcher1 with a shooty winter guard list is still good, right? Boosted POW 12’s are as good as they ever were, as far as I know. (An opponent in a 2015 Unbound game was super surprised when I shot a colossal off the table with a single WGI Death Star under B1’s feat. I was like “math.”) I haven’t played in nearly two years thanks to the pandemic, so I don’t know if something dramatically changed for the worse. (I don’t think it has, though. I mean, archons, sure, whatever.) Of course, I’m guessing things are even better thanks to cheaper Winter Guard, Veteran Leader on the Artillery Kapitan, and less Shield Guard shenanigans. That's pretty much what I figured. Maybe one of these days I'll get some minis out and paint them. I even have an airbrush now.

I think at this point I'd have to relearn the rules, lol. Unfortunately, I think that even if I got out to play, my local community is pretty dead. W Friendo, I started playing before... Yes, I've got my copy of prime on the bookshelf too. We've all played through multiple editioons around here. That's for the tip about the what's changed guide though. I skimmed over the rules. Some interesting stuff. +4 arm is still pretty tanky for blasts, but it's not immunity. After looking at the rules I opened warroom and the first of my old lists I looked at was my assault kommando list. Always loved those guys. I was really happy to see a bunch of Jack's go down in price also. That movement rule on shield wall is interesting. I'm curious what the state of iron fangs is now. I need to look at cryx and mercs now. See how my beloved steelheads are doing. Oh how I miss the days of the Butcher Steelhead armies.

Oh man, I loved carpet bombing things! What'd they change exactly to bring that back? Maybe I should go find the update...

I'm honestly really touched anyone is still thinking about me. Especially with how little I've been on in the last few years. The last couple have been wild for me. I was just laying here in bed drifting off to sleep and thinking about maybe learning 5th Ed so I could do some Iron Kingdoms stuff, and decided I'd see if anyone was still here. I saw Michael's post on the last page, and got a little choked up.
I miss this place, and being active in a community I enjoyed interacting with. I have found an online community that really grabs me for my other hobbies, like gunpla or transformers collecting.
I wish I could say I've done something with the hobby lately. I have not. I still get mini crates every month, but it's starting to make me more sad than anything when I see these cool minis I know I won't be using.
I've thought quite a few times about selling my armies. I'm sorta holding onto a few threads of hope I might get to play again someday. I think at this point I'd have to relearn the rules, lol. Unfortunately, I think that even if I got out to play, my local community is pretty dead. Which is saying something since Tyson runs/ran the weekly miniatures night at the local game shop.

I've got one of those clear blue Terra-Khans I want to put some LEDs in and paint it like heisei godzilla. So maybe that'll become yet another project in progress. Everyone needs like 15 of those, right? I was upset that I missed most of the clear resin Monpoc models. Terra Khan with LEDs sounds amazing! I really liked the idea of clear green Globicus too, I hate that the PP website always shows him but is always out of stock. They're just taunting me! I don't play the game, but I love me some kaiju. So I had Tyson pick me up some of those clear ones at the first lock in load they had them. I think I have one Terra Khan and a couple Sky Sentinel. Not sure. I wanted duplicates so I could play around a bit or recover from screw up. I'm thinking a pulsing LED inside Terra Khan would look pretty cool. Like he's powering up for an atomic breath.

Hey y'all! Hope you're all having a good holiday season.
Wendan, great to see you again!
I just moved and am in the middle of unpacking. Who knows how long that'll take, bleh. Once I do get set up again, I think I want to paint some stuff.

I got my spouse into building Gundam kits. So that's been my main hobby for a while. It's just nice to have someone to do it with. I tried getting her into warmahordes ages ago, but it just wasn't for her. To bad too, she was getting pretty good when she decided she really wasn't in it long term. I always said that if Armada came out with a Clone War set I'd be all in, but that's happening and just like Warmachine, I there doesn't seem to be the time or other interested parties. And then the plague is on top of all that. At least I've gotten to catch up on some video game due to being trapped at home.
I miss hanging out here and chatting with you all though. But coming back to much just gets me all hyped up for the game, and then I have to deal with not being able to play.

Well, it's been almost a year since the last time I posted. I reorganized my minis today. Put them all in a couple plastic totes to clean up my workspace. Putting away units and individual minis that have been sitting there waiting for paints for 2 or 3 or more years. I don't know when I'll open them back up. Feels like giving up on years of time and emotional investment. So, yeah, I hope you've all been having a better time with the game than me.

Is it weird that Butcher4's shirtlessness makes me want to paint him like he has tank top tan lines? That's funny! Do it and post the photos here! I would, but who knows when I'll get him.

I've been mostly playing Iceborne. I haven't even touched my minis in months. Hmm, I haven't heard of Iceborne. Man, there's so many games these days I worry the player base is getting too fragmented. I'm trying to start some Monsterpocalypse but I can't seem to find time to paint my minis, partly because I've been pulled into 40K and Infinity, and I'm helping my local gaming group develop a homebrew game. Also we might be getting slightly off topic. Umm, something something Butcher4. It's the expansion for Monster Hunter World. Is it weird that Butcher4's shirtlessness makes me want to paint him like he has tank top tan lines?
