Da Count of Many Crisps

This is Dumbaz, Da Ork in da Iron Mask.

I actually hate this model. When I picked it up second hand, it was primed yellow to eventually be painted as an Evil Sun nob. The paint was nice and even so I thought that I could paint over it without stripping it.

Oof.

That bright yellow turned out to be such a pain to cover up and as a result, I have gummed up some detail. Plus, it was everywhere!

I normally prime models in black or silver but this vibrant yellow was in every nook and cranny. Hard to reach spots shown like a bright, evil sun and painting this lad took twice as long as usual. So, I hate it.

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend. Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year. #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
