I finished up my TEP. You can see the turorial on it in the tips and tutorials sections.
Here is the photo dump from this years Las Vegas Open. Thank you to everyone that was able to make it out!
You can also see the pictures here.
First off, I want to thank everyone that came out to the Las Vegas Open this year. You are a great group of gamers to have. I look forward to seeing you next year and at other events where I won't have to play Overlord! A special thanks to all the volunteers that helped out over the weekend, you guys make events like this possible.
For the photo dump of the weekend you can go here.
I have received a lot of good feedback over the weekend and after the event. People seemed to be having a ton of fun and events ran smoothly on the play and admin sides too. There are always things to improve, and I have a list for next year going already!
LVO Report:
This year I decided to pack the truck early so I would not have to try and figure out how to pack a con's worth of terrain, supplies, and four other gamers (with their stuff) into my truck the morning I needed to leave. So Wednesday I spent a good part of the day packing, then taking everything out, then packing again to make sure everything would actually fit in the truck. Thursday morning the people that were driving with me showed up. We finished packing their stuff in the truck and set out to Vegas. A short seven hour drive later we arrived. Due to a variety of things we were not able to start setting up 'til 9pm with the help of my locals that traveled with me. Thanks guys! We called it good enough at midnight, and I would finish in the morning.
Friday morning rolled around, and I arose quite early to make sure everything was set up for the festivities to come. And oh boy were there a lot of you!
The first event of the weekend was the Team Tournament. This year we used the WTC style of pairings. It looked to go pretty smoothly from where I was. I would be interested in specific feedback on whether you guys liked it or not. That evening was the Mangled Metal Tournament which thankfully I had someone else to run so I could get some sleep.
Saturday would be the largest of the tournaments we held that weekend so I was up early again to make sure everything was in order. Start time rolled around and off we went. A mere 14 hours later and we had a winner! (Standings, pictures, and lists will be posted below). Again, thankfully I had someone to run the Tier Tournament that night, so back to bed I went after some clean up and prep work for the morning's Masters.
Sunday was Masters and Who's the Boss with them just slightly offset to get Masters going before Who's the Boss started.
I was able to play some games in Who's the Boss between doing other duties. Thank you guys for those games! They were the only two I played all weekend. It is nice to get my CoC out.
The Winner of the Masters events was Ryan Chiriboga with all the cool trophies, the WMW invitational ticket, and a $500 travel voucher to WMW from LVO/Frontline Gaming!
I also want to thank all the great vendors that provided prize support. We gave out quite a pile of prizes over the weekend. I look forward to seeing everyone next year and out on the circuits!

Only one prize here, Ian just so happens to have an earthbreaker that matches his prize too!
Thank you again to everyone that came to LVO! I can't wait to see you next year.
It has been a while since I posted updates here. I have been SUPER busy with getting projects finished up and regular work as picked up too, taking time away from painting.
I have uploaded a bunch of new pictures to the Other Warmchine galleries.
There is a cool alternate color scheme Stormwall, some regular Cygnar, some white alt color scheme Khador, some regualr Convergence, and I FINALLY started painting my pearlized orange Convergence of Cyriss army.
There is also a cool GW Void Shield Generator in the Msc. 40k section.
Enjoy!
A quick fun project. I liked doing it with the yellow to get away from the borring colors!

Some more blue Warmachine Mercenaries to round out the group!
I started messing around with an app that will make spins of items. I am not sure about the rez, but it sure beats stiching picures together!
