This past Friday was the beginning of Kawaii Kon 2008, a local Anime convention held annually at the Hawaii Convention Center. I’ve been the busy the last two days demoing games of Warmachine and Hordes. I did manage to get some time to play some games though. Today is the last day. I can’t wait till its over!
Seems like I can’t get enough of these models lately. More goodies today.
I spend last night and some of this morning basing my Confrontation figures. I am almost done with all of my Griffins (only 3 more to go). I am still debating on basing my Wolfen or not.
I touched up more Confrontation models. The Fusiliers were fast and easy as a brown ink over the coats really brought them out. Also took pictures of my Spearmen touch ups.
The Rackham bug certainly has gotten to me these past couple of days. In the last couple of days I’ve ordered my Confrontation and AT-43 figures. On the way are:
Certainly I’ve been bitten by the pre-painted goodness of Rackham.
Today I did something really simple to my Griffin Spearmen. I painted the grey parts of their spears black. It makes them look a lot better and actually stand out more. No pictures because I don’t feel it’s really a big deal, but big enough to pass around.
I really love the new Confrontation Templars that I may actually take the time to paint up on full unit. Here’s a picture of one that I quickly touched up.
I’ve got to give a hand to the U.S. Postal Service. They are really fast. 4 days from New York to Hawaii over the weekend and my Griffins are here. I took some pictures of them straight out of the box for anyone interested. I really like the Templar models and will touch them up. The Fusiliers are screaming to be touched up around the heads. I also don’t know why a majority of them are looking up. Oh well.
Just got confirmation that more Confrontation is on it’s way. I ordered a second unit of Templars for my Griffin army. I’m tempted to pick up more Wolfen just so I can lend models to someone else to play with.
I just finished a preliminary copy of a quick reference sheet for Confrontation. You can download the PDF here.
I am pleased to see the Rackham games are growing here locally. We got a couple more people into AT-43 and in a bit I won’t be the only one in our game group to pick up Confrontation. In anticipation of all this new gaming blood I ordered some more Confrontation stuff to build up my Griffin army. I was tempted to get another starter set but I really don’t feel like playing Wolfen. That may change when the army book comes out. I should be getting the following in the next couple days:
What I’m really waiting for this year are the new Dirz models. It’s going to be a while so knowing me I’d probably end up buying Wolfen in between all the wait.
