Ash and Super Glue

We continued D&D this week. We left the flooded room and lit the red lantern, which opened a mystical door that lead us too . . . dodge ball of death! Well it was a 5 foot wide bridge that was trapped to shoot iron balls at you while you try to cross it. Beneath it was a ball pit of the aforementioned iron balls. If you set foot in there, a nasty tentacle and beak faced slug monster thing (otherwise known as a Grick) attacks you.

Tim managed to get across by being some sort of leet dodge monkey; I wasn’t really paying attention since I was thinking up some good in-character actions to do. Stephen got hit once, bitched out, jumped of the bridge, woke the Grick and combat started. I managed to roll 2 three times in a row doing sweet fuck all except taking a hit to the face, while Tim eviscerated the bastard and Stephen healed himself and Tim since they a squishy little buggers. We then met a ghost who would open the door at the far end of the bridge if we buried his bones. So we collected his bones, looted the bones of the adventurers that failed to get across and headed into town.

Once in town I got stuck into the furious math of identifying, selling and dividing loot. I did this IC because Ash is from the 21st century and doesn’t trust "primitive screwhead abacus math". In the end we ended up with magic gear and a pocket full of gold. Good Times.

On the Warhammer front I have undercoated everything and have glued together all 20 skeletons and 10 of the zombies, which as usual involved balancing standard bearers, adding weights to their bases and copious amount of super glue and gluing my fingers together. All I have left is the ghouls and the plague cart. The cart I will be painting last since I will have to paint and assemble as I go. I'm looking forward to starting the painting process. The new minis as really, really cool. I also borrowed the Warhammer rulebook off of Stephen so I can actually learn how to use them in a game, we figure on of us should have some idea how that works.

Still pretty quiet out west.

We got a little D&D done on Monday. It was pretty sweet we found a flooded room and Tim fought a water elemental and I killed a ghoul with my bare (well mechanical) hand and managed to get my character a sweet Baywatch style shirtless scene as I exited the water. We found a the red lantern we need to advance the plot all that is left is some last minute underwater looting and we will be done.

I got my tax return and got the vampire counts battalion and a winged vampire. I plan to paint the army batman themed with blue, grey and black and the odd bit of yellow. I also have plans to buy chaos champion and convert him into a Wight King and to turn the plastic empire wizards into necromancers.

Hopefully I will get through the undercoating tomorrow and maybe a little assembly as well as some more kicking ass and taking names as Ash. Hopefully I can get some pics up over the next couple of weeks to plot the progress of army.

All's quiet on the western front.

Update on why things have been so quiet. Last Monday we had no gaming because Oscar couldn't make it. The same applies today. Last Thursday me and Stephen made a pilgrimage to Games Workshop and bought some paint and talked to the guys there. Reminded me of the old days when I was first starting out. We will possibly continue D&D this Thursday which is good news though.

Other than than nothing to tell really. I think Stephen has gotten some painting on his Dark Elves done and the same with Tim and his Elves. I am still waiting for my tax return so I can buy my undead minis.
