I should be able to do any of those dates.  I'm good with either DW or Firestorm as well.

I'm nearing completion of the Aquans.  Need to finish my frigates and SRS tokens, then paint the Hydra.

For the con event, I'd be open to some simple scenarios, but I wanted to do more than just demos, which is what it will turn into if we don't call it a tourney.

Also, I contacted one of the Spartan Vanguards a while back to inquire about tournament rules.  I'll ping him again to let him know we're looking at a con event in Feb.

I think we're all starting from scratch here with V2.  The Marauder rules were iffy in V1, so not many people got a chance to play them.

Greg and I were discussing options for events at Gen his and I thought I'd open it up to the forum to brainstorm.

I was thinking a relaxed, round-robin style tournament with awards for sportsmanship and painting as well as best general.  Ideally, I'd like to have a DW tourney and a FSA tourney on separate days, followed by some kind of event for experienced players only.

For the DW tourney, I was thinking we'd stick to Air and Sea.  Maybe 1000 pts each.  I'd like to use scenarios with specific objectives as well so it isn't just line up and shoot.

Thoughts?

Ruckdog,

I'm afraid I was strapped just herding cats (gamers) during that War of the Worlds scenario, so no detailed account.  With the new V2 rules for Invaders out and a more experienced gamer group here, I'm thinking of bringing the scenario back out at our February con and will make a point of taking notes throughout.

You may want to apply for Spartan's Vanguard program.  Were I a younger (and single with no kids) man, I'd probably do it.  Dale was talking about doing it, but I don't know if he followed through.  It would certainly be good to have a Vanguard in the group.

Anyone going to be at Tacticon this afternoon?  I was thinking of taking a half-day today to go check it out.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to this thread.  Mike Garland, mj_garland@comcast.net, is the miniatures coordinator for Tacticon and GenghisCon.  Stop by and introduce yourself while at the con.  He can tell you the deadlines for getting events into the packet and will add you to his distro list of miniatures game masters.

Thanks!  These are definitely table-top quality, not display, but that's good enough for me.  I just need to finish 5 frigates and the Hydra and I'll have this fleet wrapped up (for now).  When are you going to crack open some paints?

Thought I'd open a thread to have general discussion of Firestorm issues.

Made some progress.  Everything was going great until I hit the very last layer of dry brush and some mold issues popped out.  You can actually see finger print ridges on the carrier.  Process after the first steps was to do a heavy brush in P3 Cygnar Blue.  I then did progressive light dry brushes with P3 Frostbite.  Then it was just a matter of hitting the crystal facets in pearlescent white and other details in a bright green.  To get the pearlescent to take on the engine crystals, I first hit them with a thin regular white since the pearlescent is somewhat translucent.  I followed the same basic method on my Snappers, pic at the bottom.

Might be.  I haven't had a chance to review it for impacts due to the V1-V2 transition.  Past experience with campaign systems lead me to believe there should be minimal tweaking.

Wanted to share this link to the League of Extraordinary Gamers Facebook page.  These are the guys who were gaming on either side of us at Collectormania on Sunday and are interested in joining our monthly get-togethers.
