Burned out!
Hello all,
After burning myself out a bit preparing for the April Assault, I decided to take a week off painting. That week turned to two. Then I hurt my shoulder and used that as an excuse to put it off another week. Then I just got lazy. Now it’s been a month and I still haven’t done any painting. So what the hell have I been doing?
Citadel Paints: Derek the Dark Angel, Birth of a Splodgy Legend…
Ok, Derek lives, in total he has lived for 16 days now, but in a massive fit of warp shenanigans my camera died at the very first picture of the poor hero, so I resorted to the phone camera, you should be able to see what’s what though. What I did was paint one of the Dark Angels as if I had never painted before, and I was 12 and not 30+…

This week in Stealtherland
This week has been a busy one here for ol’ Stealthy. So I am going to hit the highlights.
Checked out.
As many of you know our local game store held a tournament in April. I was appointed as head judge do to my jovial and easy to get along with personality.
Lamentations of an Ork Player
Where to begin? I suppose it doesn’t matter seeing as this article will have very little structure to it, unless you count pissing and moaning as structure. My FLGS is hosting a 40K tournament this Saturday. It’s a hobby focused event that’s heavy on the army composition. Being the masochist I am, I decided to bring my Orks out of retirement. A decision I’ve regretted since I conceived it.
What?! What! What? Wait…
First up, sorry I’m a week late…work happened :) . Also, here’s the first part of the series. Secondly, and far more importantly, what do I mean by ‘what’ in the context of creating a community for your local gamers?
Community Pimp’n: 1st Week of April
First week of April, which means tax day is not far off, ug. Anyway, here’s some cool stuff worth checking out. Some of it is backdated from last week. I didn’t manage to get this up then so it’s carrying over into this week. So, here’s your Community Pimp’n:

Games Workshop: Doing something right?
Hello all,
As you may remember from my rant about Games Workshop’s late coming Thunderwolf Cavalry, I find myself needing to re-base my counts as TWC on 60mm bases. I could probably get by with the bases I have since most of the people at the FLGS are very understanding when it comes to issues of base size, WYSIWYG, proxies, etc. But that’s beside the point, my neurosis requires me to re-base them. I have a friend who for similar reasons has decided to re-base his Tervigon conversion on large oval bases. So we decided to go in together on a bits order from Games Workshop Direct as they carry these bases for less than they can be purchased on eBay. I’d also been eyeing the Space Wolf Accessories Sprue so I threw that into the order to bump us into free shipping.
Kamui’s Workbench: A tale of two speeders
We can buff that out...
Hello all,
Last week I posted pics of two land speeders that I’d just purchased on eBay. You may remember that they were in less than ideal condition. Being a bit of a bargain hunter I found it difficult to resist the price and decided to take the challenge. I wanted to take you along with me on the road to recovery for these two neglected speeders.

What I Like About Army Composition
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ll happily attend a tournament with or without army composition. Whether or not an event has army composition does not affect my choice to attend it. If the tournament looks like fun then I’ll choose to attend and then deal with the details instead of letting the details decide my attendance.
April Tournament: Which Army…
Next month my FLGS is hosting a large tournament with 34 players. It’s a hobby oriented event and so scores for comp, painting and sportsmanship will be given. I’m trying to decide which army to bring. I’m debating between two.

Discussion: Creating a ‘Hobby’ Event & Army Comp
Last November my FLGS ran its first big 40K tournament. We run monthly tournaments but this was a 30 player event with a big buy-in and lots of freebies and awards to be had. Overall the event was a success and next month we’ll be hosting a scaled down version of that event.
Spectre Studio BatRep Episode 1 Part 2 – 5
Spectre Studio’s continued parts to Episode 1 fight between Spectre Senence’s Tyranids of Hive Fleet Wraith and Spectre Foreman’s Space Marines of Death Spectres. The video are in parts to follow the action and lengthy in that content. The intent to to see how the actions unfolds if there are particular units you like or don’t understand and it showcases the effected rolls. For me personally it’s my debated argument with other Tyranid players fielding a Venomthorpe. Although Spectre Foreman rolls pretty poorly those that he was accurate on were diminished by this elite choice.

Blogging: It’s Hard Work – Don’t Force It
If you’re a blogger then you know just how hard it is trying to routinely come up with interesting, unique and timely material. Many bloggers succumb to the inevitable writers block and fade away. Some may resurface months, even years, later but many go down for the count and become a distant memory.

Kamui’s Workbench: Reavers status update
Hello all,
Some of you may recall that last summer I challenged myself to get a 2000 point Space Wolf army built to represent my DIY chapter, the Reavers, by the end of the summer. Some of you may also remember that I failed to do so. Well, I made some good progress, but I didn’t quite get there. It’s now been 9 months and I thought I’d review my journey so far.
