Okay i didnt finish my warlock. I was all set, even so far as to start the cloak, and i had the good idea of checking the workshops warlock to see how mine compared.
Ah well, i thought about it at least.
The blending on there warlock is stunning. compared to the fact that i dont have a clue how to blend (well, i didn't, but i do now!) and the fact that his cloak is covered in intricate icons and pattens sort of put me off. For now that is...
At games day i bought Kasrkin.
I had planned to buy a horde of the lovely Bretonnian models, but they weren't on sale, and neither were the return of the king models. Instead, for some unknown reason i found myself at one of the many sales stands, in front of an irish gw staff member trying to sell me things. Over the years of games day and general shopping in the stores, you meet several different types of staff member:
The git - the type that looks down on you as common scum. Usually acts like the boss, and probibly is the store manager. Always has the largest army and always pushes the boundries of legal armies.
The belegured one - The one that does the work for the git. Runs around all the time trying to stock shelfs, buys the lunches, or desperately trying to finish a unit for display. In battle hes always either surrounded, down to his last few men, or running away. Makes his victories extremely spectacular when he does win though.
The cool one - the one that'll chat to you normal person. Usually has extreme hair style (such as a pony tail) or funky beardage. Has themed or standard armies which usually include amazing conversions and stunning paint jobs. Has a good win rate.
The normal one - No body notices him, no body cares, neither does he.
The exception - This is the catagory where our irish friend pops in. Hes a combination of the cool one, gw promotional material, and your best mate. Firstly, he actually talked about the hobby, enquiring about paint scheme, conversions etc, even though they will never effect his life (the cool one). He then tried to sell me a box of plastic cadians (gw promotional material). He did however, make up for this, by coming to find me at the end of the day, appologising for trying to make me buy stuff i didn't want, wish me luck, a safe ride home, and hopes he'll see me next year (the weird best mate).
Anyway along wiv my Kasrkin i got all the special weapons, 2 paints, and a cadian patern sentinel. For fantasy i got 2 wall sections, a gate section, and a tower.
Bye for now.
