40K on the Brain

So lately I've had Warhammer 40K on my mind a lot lately.  I was very pleased with the way the last tournament went, even if I got crushed in day two.  Anyway, long story short, between writing group rule changes for our next tournament and thinking about my list, I've also been working on some modeling and tinkering with a campaign idea.  It's still in the brainstorming stages, but hey, gotta start somewhere.  Right now, I'm working on a kitbashed and remodeled Saint Celestine model.  I hated her giant cape and all that crap, and I didn't like her sword.  So I've replaced both.  I'm pretty satisfied so far.  Still tinkering with the replacement jump-pack, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

Also, been reading and watching more about Magic the last week or two.  Kinda been out of it for about a month or so.  Just haven't had time to play much.  I did play in a few tournaments at one of the smaller tournaments a couple of weeks ago.  I got second in both, losing to the same guy in the finals in both events.  Modern he was on Splinter Twin and Standard he was on a pretty interesting 4c Reanimator that was running blue instead of red.  I was kicking myself in the ass for this one because the standard was within my reach and I blew it.  Once by forgetting to desideboard between rounds and once for making a few sloppy plays in the second game because I was on tilt.  Lessons learned...

So anyway, I'm not usually much into espousing the values of music on here since this is supposed to be my nerd-blog, but I have to admit, I've been listening to a lot of underground Seattle Hip-hop lately.  If you're into hip-hop that's very independent in thought and that's layed back, check out Macklemore, Grynch, and Sota from Seattle.
