Uh, anyone actually see her face?

No, and I didn't see her personality or her ability ot hold up her end of a conversation either

My comment remains unchanged. Ultra hot.

This guy was really awesome. Better than most booth babes...

 

[War Golem]

Although not all of them. Here's our one token booth babe shot. She was very friendly, and May really wanted to try out the demo so she could spin the Big Wheel, but we were short on time and had to move along.... (more minis to buy!)

Okay, we're back. Here's the rest of our GenCon photos...

I don't know who these two are. I think I was immersed in some minis when May took this shot.

They worked for Nero Midwest, kind of a live action D&D as I understand it with fairly realitic weapons and armor. They had a booth right across from ours. They were pretty cool.

And speaking of minis, here's what we finally ended up with. A few? A lot? I can't tell anymore.... I have so many minis and no time to paint them all. My friends tell me I'm just preparing for retirement.

Privateer Press' War Machine minis were probably the hit of the show for me. Mike McVey is really doing some great work. Crocodile Games' WarGods of Aegyptus (and now Greece) had a lot of very nice figures. Enjoyed chatting with Ben Siens for a while about his work for Croc and Reaper. Spent a while talking to another nice fellow whose name escapes me (but he said he posts irregularly on EN World) at the Black Orc Games booth (The Hundred Kingdoms) and picked up some figures there. Excelsior's Chronopia didn't disappoint, and grabbed some of their stuff. A very nice lady (dressed like a gypsy) helped us track down some Reaper minis we were looking for, and finally we picked up the AU set from Iron Wind... where I also talked to a fellow sharing booth space in the back trying to demo his mini skirmish game, Torne Realms. He was a nice guy but I have forgotten his name. Didn't sell me on the skirmish rules, but I did buy some minis. (A huge draconic mage - very cool.)
(Has everyone figured out how to part me from my money by now?)

Cheers,

Hey NegZ! Glad I got to meet a fellow Carribean transplant and ENWorlder. Love the initiative tracker.

heya Cap'. it was great to meet you! glad to hear you're enjoying Improved Initiative how'd the rest of your GenCon romp go?

Can someone post that pic?

if only i had a working scanner!


War Golem:
yep, the painted lady and the dude in the armour are LARPers. you should have seen their kid. couldn't have been 1 yet, and he was trying his darnest to heft a huge battleaxe! (foam of course) he was too cute. i tell ya, he was the poster child for weapon specialization! Joshua, at the DireKobold booth, got a picture of him, i think.

Cheers,

Starting to understand why we kept running into you...

My wife has much the same ... prediliction? She identified most of the minis in that photo, and she has a fair chunk of them.

She doesn't like to brag, so I have to do it for her: she painted half of Reaper's demo armies for their Warlord games. Thursday night and Friday. In fact, while we were in Against the Giants, she was behind me, painting like mad. Next year Reaper is sending her all the demo armies, so she can paint them in the offseason, rather than at the Con.

It's a long story involving broken promises, unchecked greed, intellectual property and scantily clad females, but the short of it is that it's all up to my friend Joshua who continues to promise that it will be tonight, though that's what he said last night... I'll be sure to let you know.
