*Now, this game was something to remember. I rolled five 1's in a batch of 8 dice! Courtesy of 2 assault cannon shots. The suckiest roll I've had in my gaming history.
Against Gelo...
Mission 4: Pitched Battle
Location: Neutral Grounds - Glorietta 2
He chose where to deploy.
He deployed first.
He opted to go first.
Obi
+6 (for losing)
+1 (for reducing his troops models below half)
+1 (for eliminating an HQ slot)
Gelo
+14 (for winning)
+1 (for eliminating an HQ slot)
+1 (for reducing his troops models below half)
+1 (for eliminating Elites choice)
+1 (for eliminating Heavy choice)
*Demmit! I still can't win against those mutants. His list was just too fast for me. In the end, what's left with my army was a jumping Librarian and his "retinue" of two Land Speeder Tornadoes, hiding behind a hill and waving a "Keep away or die!" sign.

Tamiya Weathering Master
Bought a Tamiya Weathering Master Set A and B last Sunday and I say TWO BIG THUMBS UP to the kit!
It's pretty much like a girl's kikay blush-on kit complete with the brush and the sponge tip but it works wonders, believe me! For "premature-skilled" noob modellers like me and those who have no time at hand to give their figs a nice weathering touch, then this thing is a must-have.
Check out this link for a first-hand look: http://tamiya.com/english/products/87080weathering/index.htm
The brush tip is not working on me though. Maybe, it was meant for light weathering because actual results using the brush tip is not that discernible. Now, the sponge tip is perfect. Whether it is for infantry figs, tanks, or even bases, the result is always a thing of beauty. Weathering is now a store away from modellers who have been perfecting the technique for a long time.
Especially on me who sucks big time on drybrushing!

Gastos!!!
Finally, I was able to purchase another Space Marine Land Speeder Tornado. That will complete my maximized Land Speeder squadron.
9 strength-5 shots, 12 strength-6 "rending" shots... 21 shots per turn. Do the math.
*insert evil grin here*
I need two more multi-melta Landspeeders though for the tank-hunting role.
*****
With it, I also bought a Cygnarian Stormsmith blister, composed of three Stormsmith figs, and a unit of Cygnarian Stormblades, which includes five Stormblades and a Stormblade Sergeant.
I only need a warcaster and another Stormclad and I'm off to the tables to play.
The storm is brewing!!
*****
Off from Sir Lito's Forge World run, I finally laid hand to the all-orgasmic beauty that is the Forge World Space Marine MKIV Dreadnought!
I can't wait to field all three of my Dreadnoughts and see their influence on my list.
