Kublacon - Painting Competition

Just a couple of pictures from the painting competition (outside of the GW tourney). Enjoy.

Kublacon - Historical Wargaming

A couple of pictures of the historical wargaming.

Kublacon - WHFB Armies

Here's the fantasy pictures I took. That's a working river on the skull/chaos display. Having a nice display setup got you an additional painting point. Next up, more historical wargaming pics.

Kublacon 2010 - WH40K Armies

Here are some of my 40k pictures from Kublacon. Next up, Fantasy battle. Enjoy.

Kublacon 2010

Finally getting around to posting pictures from Kublacon. Enjoy.

Some historical wargaming to start with. The jungle board was a WW2 marine landing. The planes were part of a homebrew WW2 system. What is pictured below is a 1/60th scale RC tank game (also WW2) between a platoon of Shermans and a platoon of Panzers.

8th Edition? Maybe not

Looks like the prices for 8th edition WHFB is out. Check out at BoLS. The big red book is priced at $75US. When rulebooks cost that much, it's going to drive the gamers from playing...Looks like I'm sticking to 7th edition until I get 8th on sale somewhere.

KublaCon Weekend

KublaCon was this weekend and it was a long weekend. Two Warhammer 40k Tourneys were held, and one Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tourney. There were also all kinds of games being played; miniatures, paper, and Legos based. I went around to the 40k Tourney on Sat and was lucky enough to be there when everyone left for lunch, so I took pictures of every army set up for the painting competition (which I'll post later). On Sunday, I did the same thing with the Fantasy games, but missed getting all the armies because they started a little earlier after lunch. On Sunday, they also had a 4ok campaign/tourney at the 2k level. A couple of different players came to that one and I took a couple of pics of those armies.

Besides the Warhammer things, there were the LARPs, tabletop RPGs, tabletop games, historical minis, Warmachine, and hobby games/activities. I sat in on a couple of modeling seminars and a game building seminar. Some of it was what I was looking for, some of it was not what I looking for. The Dealer's room wasn't too bad, really aimed at the gamer crowd. The exotic items included scale-fleet battles like Harpoon 4 and a custom 6 foot by 4 foot dining room table/hidden game table by Geek Chic (www.geekchichq.com). There's also the more mundane, GW boxes and FoW sets.

Some of the things I picked up included 3 battlemechs for Classic Battletech, 2+ bricks of new dice (hopefully not cursed), some big foam dice for the daughter, a dice tower at the dealer's room. From the Flea Market, I broke down and picked up a Sisters of Battle Army (about 30 minis, 2 Rhinos, and 1 Immolator and more Tau; 2 Devilfish, a Hammerhead, Fire Warriors, Kroot, Stealth Squad, and a Crisis Suit Commander. Didn't really need more Tau, but I couldn't really help myself when it was all for $60.

More to come later.
