Well,
I just wanted to update everyone on my progress on.. well... everything.
First of all I have to say, I had a great time at Historicon. I ran 2 games, both of which were great. I also played in Wicked Day which was interesting. I had never dealt with Car Bombs in BattleTech before. I also played in the Grand Melee. All I have to say is I have fallen in love with the Pariah and I think I will have one already painted and based to try and win the Melee next year.
As for what I am up to now, I am running a BattleTech demo at The Game Vault on August 18th. Basically I'm planning on doing some small basic games, hopefully getting some people interested in the game and see where it goes from there.
On to the painting front.
Right before Historicon I had to finish all my Mechs for Historicon which put everything on hold. Since then I have felt kind of worn out and now on my work bench, I have four different projects I keep switching between so that I don't get bored with any of them.
They are:
Tyranids..... I know..... I have been working on these forever. They are pretty nice even though I really don't care for them. I still have to finish the Hive Tyrant, 15 Genestealers, and a Lictor and they are done. Woot!!!!

Next up on the list is a Khador Army made up of a purchase I made for 300 for tons of Khador stuff. This army I will be selling consists of 2 Juggernauts, a Destroyer, Karchev, PSorscha, a Full Mechanicks Squad, Widowmakers, and Man-O-War Kovnik. They are all being done in a generic Khador Red.

Keeping with the Khador Theme. I have a worktable covered in my army and my in progress pieces. In the back of the pic you will notice my current army which consists of :
Karchev, p-Sorscha, Plastic Destroyer - who will be converted to Black Ivan, Devastator, Classic Juggernaut, Beast-09, Full Man-O-War Shocktroops, Full Man-O-War Bombardiers, Greylord Ternion, Manhunter, Widowmakers, Widowmaker Marksman, Full Mechaniks.
I am using them as reference for the very large expansion of my army which includes:
2 Classic Juggernauts, Classic Destroyer, Kodiak, Devastator, Spriggan, Man-O-War Kovnik, Man-O-War Drachun with Dismount, Min Man-O-War Demo Corps, Min Man-O-War Shocktroops plus one additional guy, Doom Reavers, Fenris, War Dog, Berserker, pIrusk, pButcher, eButcher, pVlad, Old Witch and Scrapjack, Behemoth, Harkevich, Kayazy Eliminators, Female Manhunter. If you haven't noticed, except for character jacks and new models that weren't built in metal, I'm trying to go as much metal jacks as possible.

Finally, I would like to say that I had the pleasure during Historicon of hosting Paul Sjardin here at my house. Great guy, fun to talk to, and has good taste in Chinese food. I hope to have him back here next year.
I would just like to finally end the post in some pics of my game room, a constant work in progress
