Chaos Space Marines vs Dark Angels, 09.10.2024

I proposed the following narrative game: the Fallen and the Dark Angels are on the hunt for an ancient relic of Caliban. 6 objectives. Only one of them is a true relic (roll d6 in your command phase; on a 1-5 remove the objective; on a 6 remove all other objectives; last objective on the table is the true relic). No MSUs for boring things like objective things and actions. Let's get down to the killing!

Converting and painting firstborn jump pack marines into Night Lords Raptors

Ave Dominus Nox! I converted and painted up these boys along with the other squad so refer to that for... almost everything, honestly.

Converting and painting Raptors as Night Lords

Ave Dominus Nox! We have come for you! With the new Chaos Marine detachments, we are no longer playing specific legions, so I thought to create and paint some more Night Lords. Specifically, the flying infantry. I used up the Chaos Marines from the Shadowspear box (yes, I had them on sprue since) as well as a couple of bodies from the new Legionaries box. Add weapons from the bits box and various jump packs. One guy gets to be a jump pack chaos lord with magnetized arms.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Dungeon and Dragon

After a couple months of hiatus, the adventurers reconvene to continue the descent into the dungeon. We picked up where we left off, with the adventurers picking up the broken pieces of the crystal golem, only to be attacked by green skinned warriors (not orcs) from the adjacent room.

Free Folk vs Lannisters, 10.09.2024

Back to playing ASOIAF after the summer hiatus. Also after a rules update. I tried a new concept of a list: a wall of bodies protecting spear thrower giants in the back. So I took defensive attachments, see the lists here. The Lannisters were back with a super elite list and Roose Bolton in command.

September review and October goals

September is gone, aaand... not bad, surprisingly.

We reconvened to play Call of Cthulhu, but it looks like this will take a longer hiatus, due to scheduling conflicts for the GM. Sad. Let's see what else we start instead. 

At least my other group restarted the Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Let's see if we can get regular sessions in!

Finally, I played some 40k and ASOIAF. Both should continue regularly.

On to hobbying.

I finished a lot of stuff, including Chaos Marine tanks and infantry, a Lannister commission and several smaller projects. I took on more commissions (ASOIAF and Reaper Bones) for October, everything should be fine. Airbrushing took a pause with all the September rains, but I'll need to prime my Bones as soon as we have some good weather.

Currently at 442 painted miniatures (with modifiers) for this year. Grinding on, but no rush.

Masks of Nyarlathotep: NYC investigation, part 2

Another hard couple of days for the investigators.

We started by getting Archie out of St. Bartholomew's hospital. We really played into it by bringing a gift basket of fried chicken, watermelon and kool-aid.[1] The GM played into it by having a nurse accept some of it as well.

With half a day spent, we followed through our appointment with Jonah Kensington, Elias Jackson's editor. His Prospero Publishing House was to be found in a building full of such places. Kensington was a typical, middle aged, thick glasses kind of guy living in an informal library. He had lots of info to share on Elias and his investigation.
