Motivation

While I know it isn't late for some of you, I find myself up at this hour less and less often. What keeps me awake tonight is a desire to finally have a respectably painted army that I can take down to the upcoming Bloomington tournament this Saturday. Whether or not you agree with it, the tournament down in Bloomington counts a painting score into the total to determine the winner. I'm from near Bloomington and have always enjoyed playing a game or two down at the Game Preserve, but I've never taken a fully painted army to one of their tournaments. Because of the painting score I've never had much of a shot to place, but I think I can throw some work in over the next two days and have a decent score to go with a good army and trust the dice to fall as they may. What motivates you to get out a brush? Mr. Palmer's work (left) certainly helps.

  1. I can certainly say that what motivates me is the will and drive to finnaly take first place down in bloomington. I really want to get me some more marines, and the only real way for me to get them is to win them at tournament. Which requires me to pick up that proverbial brush, and kick some proverbial marine ass...which is proving difficult.

  3. One small problem there...I'm not taking Xenos. My Tau are getting Shelfed for the tourney up in B-town. I'm doing nothing more than playing Marines...and All I have to say is, they are painted Red...Cuz they go Fasta!

  4. Oh well, we can't all be elegant and graceful. Sometimes you just have to hit it with a hammer.
