Recorded all the way back in January, Slacker joined Hooligan, WDR and I to discuss everything geek that we’re looking forward to in 2012. This episode clocks in at just over an hour.
A quick correction, we mentioned Far West, but couldn’t quite remember the name. It is indeed Far West.

Here are the pics from my first battle with with my Necron army against Dennis’ Dark Eldar army. For a good turn by turn accounting of the match (I believe they are referred to as battle reports) I suggest you head over to Dennis’ blog and read Night with Necrons.
For this week’s bonus podcast Hooligan and Slacker join WDR and I in discussing the UnderDiscussion Shameless Self Promotion Tour we recently took where we visited the major gaming stores in the Kansas City metro area. We braved outrageous gas prices and the perils of an all you can eat Italian buffet to spread the good word about UnderDiscussion to some stores that had previously exceeded our usual gaming commute. We talk about how we feel that local stores are vital to the hobby. All and all I would say that we had a really good time on the trip, met a lot of friendly game store owners and most of us walked away with gaming stuff we had been looking for. This bonus episode clocks in at around seventeen minutes.
Also, I would like to remind you that we are currently running a contest to give away an IronDie basic set of metal d6′s. All you need to do to get an entry in the hat is like our facebook page (there’s a convenient like button in the sidebar of the website, but if, for some reason you can’t see it here’s a link.) If you want to improve your odds all you need to do is get your friends to like the facebook page and mention that you were the one who referred them with the phrase “[your name] said I would gopher this.” You still have until the end of April 29th for everyone to get signed up.
In order of visitation we went to:
The Basement – Games and Hobbies in the Zona Rosa shopping center. I took a few pics of some sweet converted Warhammer 40k orks there.
31st Century Games & Hobbies in Olathe, KS
Tabletop Game and Hobby in Overland Park, Ks
Big City Comics and Games in Kansas City, Mo (This is a correction from the podcast, Big City is on the Missouri side of State Line Road.)

So as some of you may know, I’ve gotten into playing Warhammer 40k. The army I chose I think really captures my inner cheeseball nature. No, not orks, I’m playing Necrons. My friends sold me on the army with two words, “zombie robots.” I’ve got a game under my belt with them, they’re assembled, but they’re still that games workshop plastic gray.
The baseline gray necron, for comparison
Looking around at the different color schemes that people have been painting their necrons, I’ve decided that the drybrush silver on black had been done to death, so again, befitting my nature as a cheeseball, I’ve decided on a color scheme for my necron army: Sunshine!
The pic is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea.
I would like to point out that this is, in fact, the first mini I’ve ever primed. I’m using that as an excuse if this looks like crap to anyone who’s been doing this for longer than a week. I’m going to bring these down to paint night at the FLGS and ask the people who know what they’re doing if this looks decent and if not what I’m going to need to do differently. If everything looks alright then I’m going to prime the rest and start doing in with some bright orange and florescent green.
The guys at paint night, being all competent and stuff.
Below are the rest of the necron images I took for this post, including a picture of the saddest destroyer.
