Podcasters don't sparkle like Vampires!

I really like the podcast "the d6 generation" (www.d6generation.com). If you have not heard it I suggest you get on over to iTunes and download it.  I think the guys + Nicole do a great job in providing a very entertaining show that is filled with all the "geeky" information I want.  Recently three of the crew went to GenCon and spoke about how fun it was to meet the fans among all the other GenCon things. 


This got me to thinking about the dynamics of the fan meeting for the first time someone whom she is connected to via a 4 hour podcast bi-monthly and twitter, whether this be the d6 generation or any other person/podcast you are a fan of.


From the fans side of the fence, When I think about Russ, Nicole, Craig, and even Raef (joking) from what I listen to and the way they act I feel we are all friends that have a lot in common.  I know a lot about them from the podcast and twitter feed so I am vested in their thoughts and feelings.  Something I would also say about a good friend I grew up with.


From the side of the d6 generation crew I am just a twitter name dragonknight31 that they may or may not remember corresponding with.


So what I was thinking was all the fans meeting the crew at GenCon and that they probably feel the same way I do towards the d6 crew.  We have this dynamic of the fan wanting to come up and say hello and talk to my friends however I know they don't have the same relationship with me that I have with them.  Which I guess would be the same dynamic with any other podcaster/celebrity.  This somehow might bring feelings of shyness or "I don't want to bother them or creep them out".  


I just thought this was an interesting dynamic as we spend so much time together from the fan side yet not much at all from the podcaster side.  


Of coarse each fan will have to answer this dynamic on there own.  For myself it would be worth it to approach the d6 generation to let them know I appreciate all their hard work and love the podcast.




   

WarMachine Army Part II

Painting and Playing

I started out with painting the starter set...what a novel idea! The warbeasts were just screaming dry brush so I tried to keep it simple and quick. Here is my formula to quick and I think nice painting. Black primer, Paint Brown, Apply GW Wash, Drybrush, highlight as needed, eyes, base, matte varnish. This was surprisingly simple and fast.
Now I look upon my fully painted (minus beast form Kromac as of this writing) Circle of Orboros 35pt list.

Starting out with Kaya as my warlock. She is looked down upon in the Circle community as she is not that powerful however I love the model. I stuck to the basic plan of send in the Warpwolf then use Spirit door to bring him back to Kaya. Rinse and Repeat to victory. I could buff him with pathfinder from the Argus or +2 movement from my Gnarlhorn Satyr if needed. Generally whatever a Warpwolf hits, he destroys!

My list is beast heavy to say the least and very fun to play. My win/loss record is average but I have a renewed love for WarMachine and a new giant love of Hordes. Even so much as I am thinking or using them at Templecon instead of Retribution...we will see.

Kaya or Kromac (only used Kromac Once)
Warpwolf
Gnarlhorn Satyr
2 x Argus
Wold Warden
WoldWyrd

I think the future is bright with this army and very fun. CIRCLE for the WIN!
