April Assault 40K Tournament – Kamui’s Review

April Assault TournamentHello all,

I attended the April Assault at Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine on Saturday.  It was a hobby focused event with heavy emphasis on soft scores.  I figured I’d post my impressions of the day as a review for those of you who are interested and feedback for those who hosted the event.  For those of you who would like to see the details of the event you can download the event packet here.

Kamui’s Workbench: A Tale of Two Speeders continued

We can buff that out...

Hello all,

A few weeks back I picked up a couple of land speeders to add some mobility to my Reavers (Space Wolves.)  I got them cheap on eBay but they were in need of some repairs.  For those of you who haven’t seen them (and those of you who have a memory like mine and have forgotten,) you can see how they started here and how the repairs went here.

I’ve since finished the builds and have begun painting them.  I want to field them as Typhoons for the April Assault this weekend so I built some Typhoon Missile Launchers for them using styrene sheet.  While I’m posting WIP shots I thought I’d include a mini-tutorial for them.

Community Pimp’n: First of 2012

I’m going to change the format of this around a bit and combine the Weekly Wrap-up into this. Really the only reason they were separate was it gave me another easy article to put up. It just makes more sense to combine things.

Kamui’s Summer Challenge: Reavers progress

I’ve been working on shoehorning my old marine collection into a usable Space Wolves army.  As you can see my old collection is somewhat eclectic.

Blogging: Making Social Media Work?

Social MediaIf you’re after advice on how to make social media work for you and your blog then you’re reading the wrong article. Instead, I’m doing some shameless promotion and seeking some advice.

Weekly Wrap-up: A Busy Few Weeks

Christmas interfered with putting one of these up last week. Let’s see, a new author started here, EvantheNoob, and you can read his intro and say hi over here. He’ll be getting up some articles in the near future so keep an eye out.

That Time of Year

Just a heads up that my posting schedule will be erratic at best through the holiday season. I haven’t had time to line up any future articles and I’ll either be gone or tied up (maybe literally), this week through the weekend. I still have shopping to do. I’ve got four more days, I’m good!

Life, Why Must You Interfere With 40K?

As the lack of articles has surely indicated, I’ve been busy. Work is non-stop and life outside of work has been full of various activities and events. My brain has become fried and ideas for articles are fleeting or non-existent. I’d hate to put up half-assed articles as filler until such a time as some idea strikes me, so for now things will remain quiet.

Blog: Slow and Steady

I was just checking the site stats, as I routinely do since I’m a bit of a stat whore, and saw that October was the busiest month for the site. Every month has slowly but surely been gaining more traffic, as well as a few new “followers” via-Google. So, I wanted to say thanks to those who take a few minutes a day to check out what’s going on here. There’s a ton of really great blogs out there and the fact that anyone stops by here is amazing to me.

My Posting Schedule

For a few weeks my posting abilities will be greatly reduced. I’ve got a few really large projects at work that require a lot of attention and leave me little time to get posts out. I usually get to work early and work on articles to try and deliver one a day but right now getting to work early is resulting is starting work early.

Command Center: Web Based Army List Tool

Command CenterA few weeks ago I posted regarding finding some beta testers for an army list tool I built. The response was dismal though props to Papa JJ though for emailing me. So, what I plan to do is in the next few weeks, hopefully, open it up to the public.

Blog: Finding My Voice

Blog: Finding My VoiceI began this blog over a year ago as a platform for commission painting. This past February I decided to start posting about 40K and try and bring this blog into the mighty 40K blogosphere. Surprisingly I’ve managed to hammer through six months of posting my musings and ramblings, making it beyond the typical mark many bloggers do before burnout sets in and ideas run out. However, now I’m finding myself at a crossroad.

Big Mek Seeking Grot Oilers

Army Rosters - TesterAs some of you are aware, I’m a programmer by trade. What do programmers do for fun, well other than 40K? We program! Long story short, I created a program much like Army Builder but web based. In the end I gave up on it despite decent progress. It was just going to be too much work to maintain. I figured instead of creating something that functions like Army Builder where it knows all the units, costs, wargear, etc, why not just create something that can store my army rosters for me?
