Hello all! And by "all", I mean all two of you, hahahaha.
I've been convinced to enter a GW tournament. It's called The Hall of Heroes League. It's taking place every second Saturday for four Saturdays, starting May 7th. I was a bit apprehensive at first, since I don't know the rules very well and I'm not anywhere near done painting yet. The guys at GW told me that it's more of a beginner's tournament, and it's okay to not have everything painted yet, but the goal is to have everything painted by the end of the tournament. So I'm going to be power-painting for the next little while to get my army all ready. They're only 600 point games, but I just got Fire Dragons last night, and I still don't have a Wave Serpent, so that's going to set me back a bit.
I also brought my single completed Dire Avenger over to GW for some critiquing and I got a very surprising reaction. They were shocked to hell that it was my first model. Even some random guy in the store said, "What? That's a first model??" I guess most people don't do very well their first try. I was told to clean up my lines a bit, and get some more gradual steps of colour on the helmet. I'm thinking about entering the Armies on Parade for fun. I definitely don't think I'll win, but it'll be cool to see how well I do!
Since I'll be painting a lot, be prepared for more photos!
