So it’s that time again, time for GameStorm.  This marks the 12th year that this convention has ran and one would think by now that they would have figured it out and managed to gain a clue by now. So to give a bit of back story to help you understand, they have had a year to plan this convention. I know for a fact that for at least the last six months they have been meeting regularly to work out the details. Yet somehow they managed to not have the event signup system open until less than a week away from the convention.

To further row the failboat along, they then closed event signups three days after they opened them.  Further evidence comes from the fact that the game store just received the fliers for the convention today.  Yes, you heard me right. They sent out the advertisement material and it was delivered the day of the convention.  I could go into more details, such as the fact that there was hardly anyone at the convention today, the bullshit stuff that they did regarding comps that they said they were going to give away to last years event organizers, the fact that the convention wasn’t even setup today, or how most of the material for things wasn’t even there (such as the miniatures for the painting competition).  But I won’t.  Let’s just move the hell along.

So before I get to far I want to let everyone know that I fixed the comments on the site and they can be left again.  There, that is out of the way.   So onto other things.  In a decision that smacks purely of self loathing or stupidity, I’m not sure which yet, I decided to start an orc army.  It all started innocently enough.  I was curious. A friend told me about them, said they were really cool and everyone was playing them.  Said it was just splitting the Assault on Black Reach box set with him since no one else would.  I swear I didn’t inhale.  Then next thing you know I’m short on rent money, I have a scar on my side and waking up in a tub of ice, and I own the shoebox full of orcs that you see in the picture.  We have all been there.  DON’T YOU JUDGE ME GOD DAMN YOU!  All of them unpainted and 90% of them not put together and/or unprimed.  Plus I have other stuff still on the sprue that is not pictured.  But this is the majority of the army, almost 2500 points worth of Orcy goodness.

So last Saturday was the 1500 pt Rogue Trader Tournament at Knightfall Games.  I rushed about trying to get all of my army put together and painted and tried to finish making a display board for them.  Unfortunately my display board did not get finished and actually managed to break itself mid tournament.  However, I did manage to get most of my army painted.
