Pictures, For No Apparent Reason

These are from the Mighty Mighty Carlos' vast collection of Imperial Fist. Obviously these aren't finished, but this picture is from an RTT ages ago - 4 years, maybe - and he won something for it.

No idea. I have thousands of pictures of events over the years. If I had to guess, I'd say it is from Wargames Con.

The Master Manipulator (every store needs one) does something special each Thanksgiving. This is from last year's Rhino Road Race. Fun stuff!

SAJ said...: Nice pics...Carlos's IF are increasing my desire to have my own IF contingent.
Anything on the board for this Thanksgiving?; November 10, 2010 at 1:19 PM
James Paladin said...: Explain how the Rhino race worked, that looks rather interesting.

If it is fun I might incorperate it into my own "Tanksgiving" celebrations. (See, I made a pun. Its funny now!); November 10, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Unknown said...: I second the rhino races rules request! tell us, sounds like loads of fun :D; November 10, 2010 at 5:22 PM
Big Whit said...: It was a blast, but I can't remember the rules. Maybe the MM will post the rules if you bug him enough. I don't think he is planning an event this year, but I'd love to play something like killzone.; November 10, 2010 at 6:58 PM
Gauthic said...: Yeah I think that a KillZone/TurkeyHunt event might be in order, hehe; November 10, 2010 at 7:42 PM
Master Manipulator (every store needs one) said...: The rhino road rage rules were something I threw together because I did not want to do the typical Tanksgiving thing. I will see if I can find the rules. Maybe a good thing to make a post out of on my blog.

The basics being each rhino would move a certain number of d6s each round. You could increase or decrease that by 1d6 per round, but all movement was in straight lines and turns required DTs. There were 2 movement phases and 1 shooting phases. In the pictures you can see little blue squares. They are weapons or power up type of things.

I ran this a week or so before turkey day as a test and it went over pretty well, but my "friends" all decided not to show for the actual event. Well not entirely... but I give the ones that missed quite a bit of guff about not being there.; November 11, 2010 at 8:22 AM

(A new favorite!) Anon: I haven’t even bothered playing a game of 6th yet, cause I have read the rules, and actually understand how they interact with units. I know my armies no longer function how they should, and so I need to change them.

Strictly Average: 'cause 6-inches is all you get.

Stalking Jawaballs since 2009.

Jawaballs: "My butt just tightened up."

Brent, preferred 2-to-1 over Not Brent in a recent, scientific poll.

Brent: emptied the Kool Aid and DRINKING YOUR MILKSHAKE with an extra-long straw.

Unicorns don't exist.

Home of the Stormbuster, the Dyson Pattern Storm Raven.

I'm a comment whore and this whore is getting no play.

Not Brent hurts Brent's feelings.

I think, therefore I blog.

"You should stop writing for everyone else and worry about your crappy blog." - Anon.

Not Brent has been spotted lurking around with a green marker.

He's not like a bad guy from a cartoon, all devious but never quite evil, Not Brent is bad beans, man, bad beans.

Dethtron: "Again I feel obliged to remind you that trying to sound smart only works if you are."

MVB: "I am not one to join the unwashed masses of self-titled 40k experts out there distributing advice from their blogs about exactly how your list should be built..."

Shiner Bock on tap: that's how I choose hotels.

Strictly Average: The Home of Hugs and Gropings.

Don't feed the trolls!

MoD: "Welcome to Brent's head."

Competitive is Consistent.

Dethtron: "...you could use that extra time to figure out a way to get your panties unbunched and perform a sandectomy on your vagina."

Dethtron: “When calling someone an idiot, it's generally best to avoid making grammatical mistakes.”

Warboss Stalin: "You know, if it actually WAS funny, maybe I wouldn't mind."

Mike Brandt: "It's not a successful bachelor party if you don't misplace someone".

"The Master Manipulator (every store needs one): "...now, enough stroking."

Kirby: "I don't know about gropings. Seriously, Brent, keep it in the pants, please."

Loquacious: "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get Hugs & Gropings or Stalks Jawaballs into Brent's little tribute."

Captain Kellen: "I rate this article a Brent on the Faith Hill to Nancy Pelosi scale!"

Drathmere: "Come for the balls, stay for the Brent? Kind of disturbing, man."

Go no further, lest thee see something thine eyes would fain look past!

Isabelle: "So, thank you for supporting your local and not so local unicorns. A noble gesture like that can show some scared kids out there that they don't have to hide from everyone and it's ok to be who they really are."

There is nothing more interesting than We The People... in all our beautiful, ugly glory!

On Internet Advice: You see, I have an almost religious belief that's it's a huge, colossal waste of time.

...I think I'll call it the Gun Shy Pattern Stormbuster, because after the Internet destroyed my first humble effort, I find I'm a bit worried about the reaction to this one.

Lauby: "Is it left over from that time you thought that you could just complete step one 12 times to meet the mandates of that court order?"

Not Brent: "I guess we'll have to read on and find out. Signed, Not Brent. Especially today."

Cynthia Davis: "I think the scrolling text is from Glen Beck's new book."

Grimaldi: "Spamming certain units creates interesting possibilities but also fatal weaknesses."

Purgatus: "Math can inform decisions. It cannot make decisions."

Thoughts? Comments? Hugs and gropings?

You'd be that much quicker to figure out what I mean when I refer to a Unicorn if I covered it in a rainbow flag.

SinSynn: (To Brent) "Curse you and your insidious influence on the internets..."

Dave G (N++): "You know you're an internet celebrity when your following is more akin to tabloids."

I prefer the term Internet Personality (or IP) myself, seeing as how I coined it.

Lauby: "Your attempt to humanize him as failed. I feel nothing but scorn for his beard - it's like a warcrime or something."

BBF: "I've always thought you are a good player but I finally figured out that you are a great player. It's hard to see sometimes because your personality is engaging, sincere and quite charming - to me that is kind of a rare combination."

'Clearly cheating?' I didn't misspeak: you jumped to conclusions. If you'd like to apologize I'll be happy to send you an autographed picture of my ass.

Ass.

I thought I was doing alright before I realized I was losing.

Age and treachery beats youth and vigor every time.
