Here's my updated version before our game.

Warmahordes Tourney

This is my first tourney in 2 years. I took 2 Cygnar lists featuring the new Avenger. Too bad it wasn't allowed since the official cards aren't out yet. Talk about impacting my plans. I scrambled to change my list, swapping the Avenger with a Defender. Tactics had to be modified on the fly. Not a great start to the day. It was only to get worse. At least the players weren't jerks. There were 2 Circle players (both ended up placing 1 and 2), an Everblight, a Cryx, a Merc (Daiymo), and my Cygnar.

Ghostbuster Cornelius

He has come back in time, from a future where apes rule man, to fight ghosts.

Ghostbuster Mike

Here are a couple of pictures of my Ghostbusters conversion based on some concept art for the 2009 video game. Not quite classic GB, but I think it'll work. The proton pack is a voxcaster with the aerials clipped and the vox speaker cut off. The speaker grill was cut off the cone, and after some filing of the vox and grill, glued flush at the bottom of the vox. The tubing for the flamer tanks were cut and glued to the bottom of the voxcaster to complete the proton pack. The flamer arm just needed the igniter to be cut off and the barrel was drilled out. Next up, primer and paint. Reassembly will happen after the painting is complete. Otherwise, the chest would have been hard to get to.

Why I still play the game

If anyone has spent any time on BoLS or the various other 40k related blogs, you may have noticed a change in tone lately. It seems like the enjoyment of reading the posted opinions and articles has been drained. There are plenty of posters and blog article authors who are out to intentionally fire up the masses, along with the obligatory bashing between fluffy versus competitive, GW 40k versus all newcomers (Warpath, Warmahordes, etc), and 40k versus GW games.
