@jodain AR is an interesting case in terms of tabletop gaming. Personally I don’t reckon it’ll be a more than a gimmick until the tech is more prevalent & common place. I can see it though being a useful tool to enhance the gaming experience.
(Also good shout on Babylon 5. Terrifyingly it was the 25th anniversary of the pilot this past week…)
@mage those Stormcast are very crisp, and your progress on the Conquest gubbins makes me somewhat ashamed that most of mine gets shifted into a box…
Anyway, didn’t get back to those Wolves yesterday, so they’ll be a job for next weekend. I did however get a bit of build-time in. Had a rummage around in the bits boxes and found (most) of the parts to build another three Wolf Guard Terminators. Did these three with helmets, mainly because I’d run out of bare bare heads 😀 These give me some more options in terms of load-outs, as well as meaning I can make three Terminators into Pack Leaders for other units and field one 10 or two 5-man Packs 🙂 (I do need to order a spare set of shoulder pads though for the TH & SS chap)
And began construction on my third Knight Questoris. Had to stop as the chap I brought the parts from sent the wrong connection piece for the head, but found one fairly cheap online. Unfortunately that’ll be a purchase for payday,but on the upside it’s only like £1 🙂
This one is going to be a Knight Preceptor A) because at some point I want some Armiger Warglaives for House Mortan and the Preceptor buffs them something fierce and B) the Preceptors signature weapon – the Las-Impulsor – just sounds COOL. Low Intensity for 2D6 S5 -2AP D3 Damage shots up to 36″, or High Intensity for D6 shots at S12(!) -4AP & D6 Damage within 18″? Yes please…..
Also, this means I have a Super Heavy Detachment, a Battalion of Custodes, and the Blackmanes should work out to a Brigade & a Battalion…. I really need to point up my Guard collection don’t I?
(And the carapace is just resting in place at the moment as I didn’t have anywhere else to put it. Admittedly it’s been glued in place twice already – the pitfalls of building a kit like this sans instructions…).
