Last Saturday, I hitched a ride with Emp and went our way to the AEGIS Open Meet. We both didn't know where Residencia 8888 is, but we did know that Fred and EJ were already waiting for us there, and Les is on his way to meet us there, too.
After a hearty meal of Hotshots (Crispy Burgermelt), EJ told us that Mr. Mark Humphries was bigger than Emp! Hmm, the name Mark Humphries brings about the image of that Monopoly guy. Not someone bigger than Emp LOL! Mr. Humphries is the one who made the event happen IIRC.
We signed on the Residencia logbook and proceeded our way up. Penthouse (insert resounding ooohhh here). There was a small pool there, but we decided it was too shallow for an Ogre Splashbombing. Victor Cabazor (Force Vector on the Tabletopwars forum) met us at the door. We signed in (dami formality noh?) and were handed name IDs. Besides Vic and his better half, a reception lady (most probably one of Mr. Humphries' help) and Mr. Humphries, we were the first ones there! And the tables were too small! When the boyz met up with Arvin and Paul downstairs, Arvin agreed to fetch the tables from Hobby Haven (somewhere during this time, Jacob and Jake arrived, too).
After a short wait (and looking around the displayed board games there), we met with Arvin again downstairs and proceeded to haul a pair of half-inch thick 4x4 plywood boards up to the penthouse. Yeah the guards sent us out back towards the service elevators. Gelo, Justin and Dick arrived during this time.
Once the tables were set up, the boyz started playing. If I remember right, a Warhammer game and a Warmachine game were played at the same time side by side. I couldn't really recall the details because I was with a nearby table watching Bang! I believe Joel arrived during this time, too.
Well, after that it was all a whirlwind. Carlos Sandico arrived as well. I got to meet Brel, owner of the Tabletopwars forum, and got to see his Dungeoneer card game. I got to play Bang! I got to see the Navia Drapt game. I got to play Warmachine against Paul (he used Magnus this time). And the Boyz got to enjoy hearty laughs with the Bang! card game, too.
And as such, all good things must come to an end. We had to pack up and leave around 10pm. Les and Carlos stayed and enjoyed some more of the AEGIS Open Meet.
We capped the day with a very nice meal at Vivian's Da Orig Tapsihan! Man, they got good grub there! That will definitely NOT be the last time we go there LOL!

hanep dude sa progress a! keep it up! mukhang kailangan kong bumawi sa pagpintura ng models ko the next time we face off...
Everything's WIP rin naman. Highlights and more freehand pa ang kelangan nyang mga yan. But thanks anyway.
^_^
Crap. From the pic, the snowy bases look better than my traditional base treatment. But on the tabletop, the snow looks dumb.
What's better for you guys? I'll just go on ahead with majority from this post.
personally i like the ones without the snow.
the snow bases are not at all bad really. maybe you should put some snow effects on the minis themselves and not just on the bases, like some frost effects on the armor and some snow like highlights on the cloth maybe?
Non-playing heathen! :p
ouch... harsh reminder :(
LOL guilty!
Too much playing and very less of being in touch with real life is bad. But then again, too much real life and too little game time is bad too (well, in my book).
How many years have you two been into miniature wargaming again?
uhm... three? out of the three would equate to maybe 6-9mos. of gaming. that's 2-3mos. per year. :D
mas nagugustuhan ko yung walang snow.
ano ba gamit mo dun? yung eggshell?
Buhangin at eggshell. Then painted over. Ganyan rin kasi ginagawa ko for all my miniatures eh (same with my old Undead and KDL).
I tried the snow yada because it was Khador, but then reverted back to my old technique.
Well, this "poll" has been on long enough. I'll stick with the back bases. Thanks, guys ^_^
