Massive production line painting and assembling. My pipe dreams of having everything ready for games today evaporated but it won't stop me playing. On the plus side, a few new tricks and addition of a wet palette and I really feel my painting has improved a lot since my first few steps back into the hobby! -dV

Quick and easy tips on being a DM/GM
++Never say no++ My key rule to running a roleplaying session is to never say no. No matter what a player may try, let them try it. Do they want to fart arrows at the sun to cause a cosmic explosion to smite this Kobold? Okay, sure - make them role for it. No matter what they get it fails and you describe the situation; the confusion on the Kobolds face, the disgust from a fellow adventurer. Maybe on a 1 they do a plop in their trousers. On a 20 it befuddles the Kobold and they're flat footed for a round. The reason is this: the story is told by player actions. It is not told by your pre-written - and probably rather smashing - descriptions and tales. It's the players that shape the world. You're providing the putty and tools to do so. Like learning, some do it differently to others. Some players need to touch everything and see how far the world reacts. Others are passive. It's all okay and should be encourage. ++People die++ Make sure that early in the campaign you're looser with time and bleeding out rules. I've had a few early encounters where characters should have died but I let it pass in the storytelling. They nearly died; so unconscious that the surviving character claimed the reward in secret whilst his 'friends' recovered. However, don't make this obvious because soon the threat of permanent death is required to give weight to the actions. But those actions won't have meaning if the character hasn't had chance to build first; let the player attachment grow. At the same time, NPCs die. Don't get precious and make someone invincible when a player suddenly outwits your plans with a great idea. Reward them with the victory. ++Don't write too far ahead++ Things change. Draft a real basic three line description of the whole campaign. Then write in session slots. This helps you craft the next session based on player decisions. Did they unexpectedly kill that Elven princess thinking she was a trap by misunderstanding a plot point earlier on? So be it - write in the attempted cover up. They muck that up? They need to kill the guards and become fugitives or be locked up and lose their characters. Then slowly build the story back towards the key plot points. Maybe in the end they become the villain without realising it and roles swap around. ++No miniatures++ Don't use 'em. Draw a rough pencil sketch of a cave as the party progresses if it helps. I love the freedom that not using miniatures provides. It's all about the imagination. ++The 'That's cool' rule++ There will be times when a player wants to do something cool that the rules don't allow. The strict guidance on actions is there to keep things under control. That doesn't mean you can't bend those rules as DM/GM in the heat of the moment. For example, I once had a player running a Monk character. There were some Kobolds behind a large wooden table. He wanted to attempt a flying kick at them. Now, the rules wouldn't allow this due to the number of actions and time required to complete this. But it was too cool not to try. So I let him complete two rolls - one for acrobatics and the second to hit. The first passed and second failed. I explained how he'd managed to leap through the air but realise he'd miss, landing on the table next to them and ready to strike next round. Another time a player tried to slide between a Bugbears legs in a muddy field as he battled another character. Let these things happen - with dice rolls - as it encourages interact and engagement. And see 'Never say no' for those crazy things people sometimes try. ++Be clear on in and out of character++ ​If there's a conversation with a character, everything said is in character. That's a simply rule to follow. Always make it clear before you start when out of character talking is permitted.​ Don't use it as a means of control and punishment. On the flip-side, have NPCs react to wise cracks that a player says when they forget about being in character. Usually this in turn helps some players develop attitudes and back story. A bit of honesty to the world.

Random photos from today's session.
Grey Knights beat my Daemons 11-8. The last turn (5) determined it all due to the teleport power and x2 HQ VP warlord trait. It was a hard battle. The volume of 2+ saves and preferred enemy against Daemons makes the Knights a nightmare to contest. T'was a good game.
Started base coating the second Soul Grinder. Dubbed for now as Uncle Susan.

Painting work on the fuel dump today. 95% done. Need to look at it with fresh eyes and do some last touches and highlights. Will look great on the table.
New terrain on the table last night. We now have enough. Next up: time for us to paint up the 750 points we have.

The Imperial Truth (as to why I'm a slacker)
Ok so Shane has put me ROYALLY to shame with the level of updates on here, he is by nature a 'do-er' and I am by nature not. Hence why he has built scenery, painted his army, and generally got a LOT further on than me. He does however, like Pantera so I am better than him on some fronts.
So, what have I actually got sorted?
I have now purchased everything I need to field a decent 750pt and (just over) 1000pt force. (I will post these lists after this post). The final purchase was a Wyvern and a second Astra Militarum Cadian Defence Force box. I seriously cannot wait to field the Wyvern and just rain death down from the back of the board! Also as a total bonus I obtained a free 20 guardsmen from all round good chap Nate over at Corehammer who through them in with an purchase Shane made from him! Much kudos! So they will become my Penal Squads! Can we all say 'meat shield'? Also purchased so nifty beret headswaps from MaxiMini to customize my Veteran Squads to make em looks a bit more gucci!
I have STILL only painted one full 10-man squad. However, I have nearly finished my first Leman Russ and I have (with Shane's help and encouragement) done a test guardsman in my new colour scheme and am pretty happy with it after my initial disappointment - the WWII German field grey and drab green were just too similar to 'pop' and looked a bit dull. Shane suggested I make a bit more effort highlighting after the wash stage and sure enough it makes the fatigues a lot brighter and really works! Thanks bud!
I have decided on my background for my 'made up' Imperial Guard force. I knew early on I didn't want them to be 'cookie cutter' Cadians and, with the exception of the Death Korps (who are great but some of their units look too old-world), I dislike all the other renowned regiments. I wanted my boys to gnarly and tough, battle hardened and looking the part. The breakthrough came when I found that the vehicle decals that come with the Leman Russ etc. have a Necromunda decal on the sheet! I quickly did a bit of research and found out about the Necromunda 8th Regiment - or the Spiders - and instantly loved the idea that they're raised from Hive gangs. So from there it was simple! The Necromunda 13th Regiment - the Skulls - was born! I'll make use of all the little skull decals and I have a force made up of ex gangers! Absolutely perfect!
I am also finally getting to grips with dry brushing again - slow and steady is the way! Build up the highlights, less is more on the brush and don't rush it! The Leman Russ is looking great and will look the business when the decals are on and the dry brush is finished. All done in WWII Panzer Grey - looks pretty menacing!
I treated myself to proper artist brushes and all I can say is WOW! If you are still using 'hobby' brushes - ditch 'em asap and treat yourself, the difference is astounding.
So that's about where I am up to currently! I have SO much left to paint before I'm complete, but I think bit of elbow grease and getting my head down and I'll get there, production line technique is going to help, just bulk paint the same colours on big batches of troops each session.
Future plans:
Get entire force painted
Buy 1 more Leman Russ and 1 or 2 Wyverns.
Grab a Commissar and/or Priest to bolster my Penal Squads
Once my IG are all sorted I'm going to get started on my second army - traitor legion Marines. Provisionally going to be Night Lords, but having second thoughts due to paint scheme and my general cowardice!
So that’s where I am up to! See you in the trenches!

The Tabletop Towns KickStarter scenery arrived today. That's earlier than the projected date. And it's nice too. Easy to make. Flatpacks back down. They'll make a nice, moveable los blocking and height providing addition to the table.
Progress shots of the processing unit and leaking fuel dump/tank. Some of the photos have a Sister and a Rhino next to it for perspective. Creating scenery is a very peaceful activity. Time flies by. I recommend you try it out. I'm not a good painter, drawer or model convertor. If you make the time these results are easy to achieve. Just don't rush. Enjoy it. It'll show. When you first start it'll look a mess but halfway through it'll start to come together. I thought the processing unit was going to be a disaster and it's not too bad. The modelling putty will settle for twenty four hours now. Tomorrow night I'll make the time to prime them black.
