Water Tower

Tonight, I build terrain!

I've nearly run out of basswood strips to finish covering an old coffee can and transforming it into a water tower for the various miniature games I play.

I plan on painting it an old weathered, grey wood with a metal band around the top, bottom and middle. You can't quite tell in the photo, but added some notches to help break up the planks.

A structure like a water tower can be used for just about any game set 1860 through a dystopian future. It wouldn't look out of place in Warhammer 40k, Warzone, Wild West Exodus, or even a fantasy setting like Hoardes, Warmachine or WHFB.

I plan on donating this, a few other buildings I'm making to my local game store to help replenish their stock of terrain that gets abused and/or stolen on a regular basis.

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 

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.
