Genghiscon throw down thrown down!

This last weekend was Genghiscon and the KoGT was privileged enough to run both the 40K and Malifaux events. The Malifaux run down can be found here. As for the 40K event, it went smashing. Stay tuned to find out more.

Road to Genghiscon: Finish in sight.

Less than two days until the con. A mere 62 hours until the 40K tournament begins. Are you excited? I know I am. Packets are done. Prizes are sorted. Just need to finish up the award plaques and a couple surprises for the Malifaux event, then its off to Auroa

Road to Genghicon: Da Table

Here it is ladies and gentlemen, the final table. Layout will change, but you get the idea.

Road to Genghis Con: Terrain Finale

It's all done. That's right, all the terrain is finished for the 3rd set of tables, with 8 full days to go. And today isn't even half over. Each table will have 1 large pyramid, 4 smaller ones, 4 of the ruins pictured above, and 4-5 difficult terrain pieces pictured yesterday. Plenty of line of sight blocking, some cover, and some pieces to slow the advance. Can't wait to see them being played. I hope to set up a table Saturday and snap a shot or two to post. On to the paper work.

Road to the Con: Terrain Round 2

A quick update: I have finished all the difficult terrain, as seen above in its rocky sandy "glory". I have also all of the medium pryamids painted, as well as the ruin terrain. Tomorrow I plan to lay down the sand for the ruin bases, which will bring the necron tables to a close. After a final update tomorrow and hopefully an action shot terrain will be done. Then it is on to the plaques and the player pack. Barely over a week to go, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Something is going to go terribly wrong...

Road to the Con: Terrain Edition

I was asked to post some shots of the new terrain for GenghisCon. There will be four necron themed boards, similar to the previous nid and imperial boards from Tacticon(which will be returning). That little piddly thing in front is a Space Marine in awe of the Necrons' might.

And these 16 pyramids make up the mid level LoS blockers. There will also be some ruined necron obelisks and some severe rocky ground.

Well, there cracks the whip, back to the grind stone, I hope to have another update tomorrow.

Iron Man Painting Challenge RETURNS!

Well, its that time of year again!

Break out your brushes and paint pots, caffeinate yourself to an inadvisable degree, and get ready to throw down in the most grueling painting event EVAR!

IRON MAN PAINTING CHALLENGE is our twice-yearly, pre-convention painting pow-wow. That's a lot of hyphens. 

Join us Saturday, February 9th at 11:00 am, and paint all day, and all night, and far into the next day IF YOU ARE IRON MAN ENOUGH!

This a great opportunity to just sit down and grind out all of those minis you've been meaning to get finished, while enjoying good company and eating terrible junk food.

Refreshments will be provided, and wimps will be mocked. 

I MIGHT paint some Dark Eldar.  But probably not.
