The Latest in me banging my head

Well, took 2500 pts of Dark Angels (well, a Deathwatch/crusading force) and had a tournament where there were only 4 of us. So I got to play everyone and everyone played each other. so anyway

Round 1: Kill the Traitor vs. Blood Angels

General result: BA player really really hates deep striking terminators and assault squads that messed with his 3 vindicators and killed the traitor by turn 3 (all my reserves came on turn 2). His only saving grace was he got a dreadnought into position to charge and kill the tactical squad the traitor was in. In other news, Dante and his Sanguinary Guard got stomped by “Belial” and a terminator squad. In the end, I got the minor victory.

Round 2: objectives vs. Grey Knights

Can we not talk about this? I guess I do huh? Um…I got massacred. His “everything and the kitchen sink” force just managed to take out my terminator squads and resist return fire. His anti-deep strike abilities kept my abilities to get behind him or near objectives completely negated.

Round 3: Kill stuff vs. Necrons

A glorious first for our store: got a monolith to blow up. One of my dreadnoughts walked up to it, punched it, boom. Anyway, I learned to HATE THE C’TAN (which did almost all the point scoring for him eating 2 terminator squads and a dreadnought) and be annoyed by resurection orbs (his Lord/General didn’t stay “dead” until he had no wounds at end of game.)

So with the tournament points (battle points) the Grey Knights ended up as a clear winner (54) with myself and the Necrons tied at 30. The Blood Angels being tabled by the Grey Knights in round 3 meant that the BA player came in 4th. Not really sure who technically wins 2nd place.

So anyway, that was actually a fun experience and learned a bit. Hope to do it again and not sure if I can go to the next round depending on where it’s at and what money I don’t have.

Well I had another scare. Spent the night/morning before Three Rivers in the Emergency Room with what turned out to be a gallstone. I’ve basically been out of action for a week so no job search (not that THAT was going anywhere) and no upkeep in the house, ect.

In other news, I hoping to set up my own gaming company. Seriously. I’m starting with some textured resin bases which I’m trying to find an outlet to sell until I make enough for a business liscense and get all legal and business-y. Then go from there. Just waiting for the “people who JUST WANT TO HELP” to throw shit in my way and try to stop me with their “advice”.

For today’s experiment, I’m mixing just still pictures with video clips taken today at THE ZOO.

And yes, there is some Gwen commentary.

That’s just how things are going. Job search appears to be picking up (actually had 1 interview and 1 tomorrow) but nothing solid.

It’s been suggested I go look in Indy for something and just commute for awhile.

And to my surprise, the creditors are actually understanding about the whole thing. That really is showing how bad things are.

And since I have a wave of sudden fatigue over me, I’ll just put a picture here of Gwen and Toby (the cat)
