Almost there...

Two more sleeps. One more day of work. Roll on the weekend!

Pistoliers finished. Wizard based. All models magnetised. Movement trays finished. Army finished. Organised with wife to use breakfast tray for the ultimate in table-to-table army transportation (although nothing beats Asian Nick's use of Burger King trays last year = gold).

Extra lists printed. Dice polished. New tape measure.

Carpooling organised. Then disorganised and plans changed.

Dinner with the gang on Saturday night organised. Fingers-crossed Newmarket doesn't experience ANOTHER power cut (Auckland - the shambolic epitomy of national embarassment. Or is that Transpower?).


Only one thing left to do:

... lay out the Ji-Dave shirt... finish what I began last year - the complete, total and final destruction and utter annihilation of the ADC.

:)



All organisation aside I've been involved in a discussion on the City Guard forums that started with trash-talk (Pommy Dave won OTT smashing Philfy in the process. JI-DAVE!) post-OTT but ended being a meandering dialogue encompassing comp (always with the comp threads...), reflection on my "army-whoring" period (Lizards, Bretts etc), and a comparison and breakdown of what constitutes a "big flying nasty" (a flying, Terror-causing, rank-breaking piece of badness - my definition). The last bit mostly came up because Josh (TK Josh) is now taking Orcs led by a Boss on Wyvern (which may have drawn some disparaging remarks from me at some point).

Wild claims were also made about me using the awful Altar/Stank combination - these were quickly rebutted and refuted.

A couple of other people chimed in, most notably Simon with one concise comment (and I quote, "What a joke"). What is clear to me is that a FluffyCon-esque tournaments are NOT for everyone - fair enough. I think each to his own - if someone was running and promoting a no-holds-barred cheesefest event I'd be one of the last to show even a remote level of interest. I'm keen to see what happens post-FC with the middle-of-the-road events later in the year.


And if people want to be cheesey bastards then? Well, that's why we have 40k! :)
