Your GenCon Reports Here

[Mastergunz]

Thanks for the kind words. I have been working on gencon stuff since feb (thats why I haven't posted much of anythign new to the miniatures forum). I was tasked with making the Firestarter shine given the minis poor reputation and I am glad to see you all seem to be enjoying it. I wanted to do a DA Hatchetman as well but a mix up in an order an an absolute shipping nightmare that has still not been resolved (not with IWM mind you) so that didn't pan out. I did however get to add 2 of the brand new sculpts to the diorama in it's place so it worked out well I think. Soon as pics of the board get posted im sure you will spot them.  ;)

Very nice Gunz! Excellent, superb work!  O0

[worktroll]

The FireStarter mini's poor rep?  ??? I think it's great!

The DA Firestarter, true, doesn't appeal to me. But the classic burninator -  O0

Please put the mousepads in Battleshop!
I have a need, my poor dinner table is wearing out in certain mouse spots.

[Mastergunz]

Yeah, Sorry DA Firestarter, not the original which I too love.  ;D

Any word on what is depicted in the diorama?

[Mastergunz]

Oh I know what the diorama is, just not sure if it has gone up yet and I can't find any pics here or on Facebook. There were some 'issues' with shipping this year but last I heard it should have gone up this morning.

Just found this, for all you lance pack lovers:

Edit: Raven and Cataphract confirmed!

[Klat]

I too was under the impression that the diorama would be up this morning. However, I can't find anything. Hope it went alright.

[Weirdo]

It's probably fine. Remember, most of the people there are too busy drooling over the diorama to actually take the time for pictures. The rest of the people there are probably too busy basking in their adulation.

[Spaceman]

U am curious as to what went on in "What's going on With Catalyst?"

[Weirdo]

Yes. Yes I r.

Fair enough. I had this image of someone dropping all the minis on their way to setup the diorama. I would totally be that guy; which is another reason I probably shouldn't go to GenCon. Or be allowed near anything, ever...

[Sharpnel]

Another batch of mechs has been posted on Camospecs...this time it's the Republic Standing Guard painted by Mastergunz, who made the DA Firestarter look friggin AWESOME!

I love the Firestarter it makes the original look like it's a punk. Plus, Gunz made good use of the weapons effects stuff and the glow 'effect' painted onto the mins is awesome. Nice work on the Hunchback, too.

You'd be surprised. They let me help out once. On the other hand, it's probably a good thing that helping out was for tearing down the booth instead of setting it up, since any help I gave was likely to end up being destructive instead of constructive anyway.

So much nice items available at there. Not there to get :'(
Would be so nice for those that can't attend cons to get a chance to get stuff thru the Battleshop when con season is over. Would like to get some of the items. O:-)

[cold1]

I made some comments somewhere around here about the lance packs and CGL better do it right...

I'll take my crow deep fried with a side of "I will shut up now"

Those minis look awesome, but more importantly the packaging looks like it belongs on store shelves where it WILL grab new players.

I will buy these.  I waAaant these!  Please sell lots so I can get my clan mechs in plasticy goodness too!

[mechwarriorgarya]

Hilarious they decided to throw the near extinct Shogun in one of the Lance Packs. Whatever, I'll take it still.  ;D

If it makes you feel better, you just spiked in my esteem, putting you well above many other posters on this forum. O0

That might be hilarious, but what's disturbing is that you've made me want to paint and/or dress up a Shogun mini in a lace nightie.

Hey, whatever you have to do to get through the day my friend.  ;)

* and now I see where everything went horribly wrong.   ;D

You're a Mod, aren't you supposed to not like all posters??? ;)

I wasn't bashing CGL for screwing up or anything.  I was 1.) confused by the story progression coming to a halt, 2.) hoping CGL would put out a nice finished product that could step AS up a notch and still attract the money of us old hats.  They hit number 2 on the head and I can see where the resources went away from story to get this done.

I applaud the effort.

I also think I'm going to make it to Gencon next year.  Which means I'll get to celebrate the Star Adders Ilclanship in person now! ;D

It could be worse! I'm 'there' but have seen so little due to my responsibilities as a father instead of responsibilities as a demo agent this year. I've been at the convention centre for a few hours since Wednesday evening, and that includes a big team Ontario versus team Michigan battle I took part in during the late hours  of setup night. I think I've found a new torture. It's so close, I'm constantly seeing GenCon badges, and yet mine sits on the floor of my hotel room for much of the day...

Oh well. No complaints about decisions made. I should be taking part in Masters and Minions tomorrow night.

No crow servings needed, I bet just hearing that you'll want and purchase them made CGL smile.  ;)
...probably, I'll still warm up a dish in case.

Thanks to Wolf Lancer for the photo:



Republic vs Wolf Empire!

[GunjiNoKanrei]

Finally :)

[Lorcan Nagle]

Looking good.  Can't wait for some high-res shots

[Alexander Knight]

Is that supposed to be the Cameron Star there?  That implies bad things for the Republic if I'm right.

[Lorcan Nagle]

It might be a daggerstar, but there does seem to be two points larger than the rest.

That said, I'd be surprised if such a momument to the Camerons survived on Terra during the Amaris Empire, let alone the Jihad.

[Decoy]

...or it could be something that someone put there recently. Do we know what the scenario is?

[Klat]

I think it it is and I think it does as well.
