I kinda feel lied too

There were these signs all over 50 and 66 all week telling me that there would be massive construction and major delays this morning. I needed to take an alternate route because this construction was so huge that 66 would be undrivable. So i left early instead, since I have no idea how to get to work on a different route other then the metro. I wanted to leave myself some extra time in case of delays, but I got to work 20 mins early and hit 0 traffic. It was almost a let down.

Bonus!

Some Gaki





And Killjoy

A Couple of Games

Last night I went out to Huzzah and got in 2 games against Chris. He is one of the new guys who joined the game thanks to i believe Bill's prodding.

Game 1: 25 stones, Pandora vs Nicodem
This game went about as I expected. He chose body guard and my strategy was to kill Pandora. I did everything I could to nickle and dime that bitch down, but she just wouldn't die. I dropped her down to I believe 2 life, but Candy Ran in and saved the day with a nice heal flip. I killed Candy for her trouble, but the game ended with Pandora alive and me losing 4-2. I also had a body guard, but he managed to get his second scheme of kill my highest stone model.

Game 2: 25 Stones Kirai vs Perdita
I wanted to try out a Gaki spam, so I took some of them along with some Seishin and Datsue-Ba. I went nutso with Kirai this game. All the little strategies and tricks she has have been slowly clicking for me, and this game was pretty bad for chris. Papa and Fransico both move up and make some attacks. I send Datsue-Ba and a summoned Onryo into them. I manage to kill Francisco, who was my grudge match foe, and the I swapped Datsue out for a Gaki. The other two ran in there and the bunch of them went nuts on Papa eventually killing him, and a gaki, and an onryo, and wounding the other 2 Gaki. Forgot the Should have lived since papa would leave a corpse for me to eat and so would Fansico, but meh that would have been even worse. I then super summon Ikiryo into melee with Santiago and Nino. Santiago is made short work of. Nino books it, and Perdita kills off my Gaki. Then Datsue-Ba goes to work, followed by Ikiryo on Perdita, I end up killed her off and we call it there. It was a pretty nasty game. Im looking forward to my next go with Kirai now.

Onryo

As promised here are the Onryo!












And lastly I finally finished painting a box set of models. My others all need 1-2 models to be painted to be fully finished. I'm quite a lazy ass in that regards. But here is Kirai and her Spiris of ass kickery.

A bit of this and that.

So this weekend I took some time and worked on my Onryo, I was not happy with their colors so they took a while. They ended up looking great once I finished them, but I forgot to take a pic so they will be up tomorrow.

Saturday I played in a Game of Thrones Rp game. Its using the D20 system, which is similar to 3.5 D&D but not the same. The systems is odd and there is a lot I don't get about how to play it, but the first session was ok and I'll go back to give it another whirl.

Also Ellen and I watched the second disk of Warehouse 13. Im a huge fan of this show and I fully recomend it, its got a little sci-fi feel to it, while having a cool historical twist. Pretty fun show.

Ok this is the big thing I wanted to talk about, Ellen and I went out to movies for the first time in a while last night. We saw, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and I gotta say I pretty much loved that movie. It drew a lot of its inspirations from early nintendo video games; sound effects, music, and even some of the visual effects. The whole thing just had a great video game feel to it. All in all it was a really fun movie and one that I want to add to my collection when its released on Blue-Ray or DVD.

Ikiryo

She's done. I wasn't super pleased with him last night as I was putting on the finishing touches. But as I was trying to get a good photo, which took a long ass time, I kept getting either bad glare, or the flash would pop on unexpectedly. Anyway, as I was trying to focus the camera right I got a really good look at the detail. I personally love the mask. Its plain white, no wash, dry brush, or anything. I was going for the perfect Porcelain mask. No emotion or decoration, just the plain white, the Onryo will have the same mask as well. Her hair is my largest issue, I have no idea what the studio team did to make the hair look the way they did, but after the second layer of wash dried I was pretty happy with how it turned out. So here she is in all her glory.

Even more Rising Power Models

So im just gonna throw this out there, Gen Con rocks! I'm a little bumed I wont get to go next year, but Im thinking Hawaii will be even better, but still I love going to Gen Con, and this year was awesome. My main point here is I think I'm still on that gamer high that Gen Con gives me every time I go, and since recently I've been painting a lot more, I think that gamer high has me painting. I started working on Datsue-Ba after Tuesday night gaming. I came home couldn't sleep right away so I went to work on the old hag. She was coming along great and I threw on her first wash coat. I was looking her over waiting for it to dry when I saw it was 12:15. I packed her up and went to bed a little disapointed. But yesterday after work I pulled her back out and hit her with the finishing touches, which was mostly dry brushing and there was a second coat of ink in a few key places. So here is Datsue-Ba the unique spirit that I doubt Kirai will ever leave home with out.

Seishin Painted!

Last night I took a couple hours and got all 5 of the Seishin painted up. Each one has is a different color, since there are 5 I wanted some more variety then dragon or lion head.



Next up is either the Onryo, Datsue-Ba, or some Gaki
