The System 411: F%*king Batman.

This had me laughing. Given I haven’t been the best lately, that’s a good thing…

In Memory…

Posted on August 29, 2010 by antonius

This post is in memory of my Father, Ron Sharpe.

He passed away, peacefully, at 5 AM on Saturday, August 21st, 2010 after a long battle with Asbestosis, emphysema brought on by that and Lung Cancer. He was surrounded by his family, who he loved, and he went with a smile on his face.

He died one month short of his 65th birthday.

Rest in Peace Dad, I love you.

My Mam and Dad

On Conversions: Or “Oh Crap! I glued the model to my hand. Again!”

Posted on July 21, 2009 by admin

OK, so I’ve been adding to my Marine army of Doom.

So far I now have 2 Drop Pods, 10 Sternguard, Marneus Calgar and I’ve converted up a nice kneeling Kayvan Shrike count-as model. I’ve also gotten all the parts for my 4 Axes of Ultramar figures for Calgar.

All thats needed is painting and assembling. :(

Warcraft

Posted on March 21, 2009 by admin

So I finally managed to hit 80. It’s only taken since the release of Burning Crusade too. :D

But yeah, now the real game begins as I gear up in purples and grind rep. I now find that I’m shorter of cash than ever though. So I reckon I can go farm Borean Leather in Sholazar to my hearts content now. pity it takes 6 of them to make 1 Heavy, and most recipes need at least 10 to make, not counting the additional costs…

Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition Rules

Posted on October 30, 2008 by admin

So tonight was the first game played with the new Space Marine Codex in v5 rules.
I played against Jimmy in an objective game, pitched battle deployment.

And we had a blast! Jimmy brought Tau against my blue boys. We drew, but Jimmy took the moral victory on kill points.

Moment of the match was me rolling shaken result against a bunker. After Jimmy rolled a cover save for it.

Overall, 5th editon games are faster, much more fin to play and against the right opponent, riotous fun!

Work In Progress: Warhammer 40k Orks

Posted on October 21, 2008 by admin

OK, time to use this blog for what I intended it.

Posting Random crap no one cares about. :D

I have actually made some progress on my Ork army. 10 Boyz painted, 1 Dipped, 9 almost ready for dipping, 2 Deff Dreads Painted, needing basing. I have Finished 1 whole bike, not the rider, but the bike, maybe needs some little areas touched up with spot colours, but its almost done, the question is dipping it or not.

That leaves me with:

  • 2 Bikes to paint, 9 to paint, then assemble (painting them while assembled is a pain in the ass)
  • 3 Killa Kans to paint & base
  • 20 more boyz to paint, base all 30, dip 29
  • 3 rokkit boyz to paint, base & dip
  • 3 nobs to paint, base & dip
  • 6 nob bikers to paint & dip
  • 6 normal bikers to paint & dip
  • 3 trukks to paint and assemble
  • 10 lootas to paint, base & dip
  • 1 small mek & 1 big mek with oiler grot to paint, base & dip
  • Ghaz, paint & base
  • 3 Deffkoptas to paint

And all for January…

Oh, and I have to finish some Tau & Marines so I can play 5th ed…

iPod Touch

Posted on August 7, 2008 by admin

First off, allow me to explain that this post is being written from my new iPod touch. It really proves Gary Newman’s point that the device, while a victim of a goldrush with people charging €2.99 for a flashlight app, is more than capable of being a highly productive environment.
I will possibly end up getting an iPhone in time, but as I currently have access to the wifi networks in most places I go, I think I’ll be using this little device a while longer.

On Working…

Posted on July 25, 2008 by admin

Well, I have started my new job in tier 1 tech support for [NDA] Inc.

Of course, I can’t talk about it. The first rule of Fight Club and all that. But 3 weeks of training out of 4 down, and I’m feeling OK about getting through this job. While it doesn’t pay nearly as much as Eat More Chicken did, at least I have my nights and half a weekend again. And I was able to get me a shiny mac mini out of the wages, so I could set the bugger up as a media machine, which I’ve wanted to do for a while, but that’s for another entry.

The only thing that bothers me? Training is taking place in a big metal box, in one of the most humid and warm months Ireland has had in a while. I’m sweating my balls off daily and it can be more than a little uncomfortable.

Thankfully, the main job won’t be that warm and has aircon. So, warm in winter, cold in summer. (Note for non-irish readers, While I may say “Summer” and “Winter”, please don’t take that to mean we have a standard climate. We have two seasons, the Wet Season, and the Wetter One. It’s just we’re more used to more subtle variations.)

Basically the point of this post is to say, I’m back from holidays, back from real life stealing time and feeling slightly more productive than last time.

Have fun and I’ll see you on the flipside.
