I’m not going to lie, the thought of running option C and it’s pure insanity of all my stompy robots and bikes is highly appealing. With that out of the way I will focus on finishing my Master of Executions, Warp Talons and Terrax tonight which will finish out my army. I was happy I was able to re-purpose my Chaos Lord with a jump Pack into a Warp Talon saving me some time painting and getting to fit him into the list.
My main focus this next week will be logistics. I have some capacity to transport this army safely but the Brass Scorpion will be tricky to move. I am also trying to think about how I can maneuver all these minis through a crowded convention center. One idea I had was t o commandeer a small cart we use in our kitchen (I was initially going to buy a small laundry cart, but my wife volunteer ed the one we currently own. It should be small enough to tuck out of the way, but large enough to fit all my pieces. I am making some inquiries of friends to see if that will work at NOVA. Also, I managed to convince a friend who is staying at the venue to let me keep my army in his room between days and this should make that task less noisome.
Aside from that I need to upload my units into Administratum and figure out how I will manage all these units as they level up. I have some ideas about building a binder to track things but it is still quite fuzzy.
So we are down to the wire this week but in good shape. If you are going to the NVOA open, especially the narrative let me know in the comments and we can link up. As a Warlord I am always looking to build out my warband!
See you there!
