Tervi-kroots with hive-heads and crisis-stealers?

They're not that bad and actually have quite a bit of synergy with endless screens and extra shooty shooty aliens.

Yep, i'm on the fence as surprise knee surgery is happening tomorrow! I've been playing way 2 much soccer lately. I might be in crutches for 6 weeks, so playing a tournament on crutches could be cumbersome. I did want to make an appearance so at least one ETC member is there. I may still go with crutches anyway, Goatboy said he would push me around in a wheel chair if need be. Hello army display board on wheels!!!

Well at least I can tell people I used to be good at 40k... until I took an arrow to the knee.

I'll let you know Allen!

They don't allow cripples to the Bay Area Open and especially in my house!

For those interested into some hobby related stuff for the BAO narrative event.

I have 4 blog posts up pertaining to the narrative event with more coming leading up to the BAO. I will be putting up all the event special characters and their bodyguards, showing a bunch of the finished terrain and be talking about the special event cards that will be used.

I should have a new audio file by the end of the week also. I hope to offer all involved a grand old time creating an epic story on the tabletops!

Cheers,
-Jim

I'm probably leaving Thursday night around 8-9pm and probably coming back Sunday night (although if you're not coming with me I might try to leave early Monday and drive back).

Hey all. Found out about this event while running my 'nids at BSB last weekend. Is there still space in the 40k singles tourney?

Need to find out before I spend "points" to convince the wife I need to go to another tournament. Short drive from Fresno so looking forward to it!

Hey guys, here is a preview of the quality of terrain I will be bringing to the Narrative event. I have 13 square feet of this forest terrain that I am in the process of refurbishing. I also have a bunch of buildings that are to be painted this weekend.

The table for the event should be a treat for gamers to play on and eye catching to boot!











Plus I am doing a few fixes on this mountain piece as well.

Yes, there is still room left, about 20 spots for 40K, but we sold a bunch of tickets sold today that I haven't had a chance to process yet.

I hope you can make it, bigpig!

That terrain is looking boss, Jim!

Oh, and Ticket sales have been going crazy this past week. We still have some space, but it is very limited. Be sure to grab your ticket while they are still up for sale!

Looks like an idyllic setting for some destruction. Can't think of a better place to crush the enemies of the imperium.
