    Alright, so the battle was forced to end at the beginning of turn 4 because I had to go, but oh wow this was a good game.
     
    It was a "Capture And Control" objective, and neither I nor Sean's Space Marines backing down.

    But the winner is HUNTER KIRAX for knocking up the most spots in one single combo string
     
    Makuta's Black Heart is the runner up for spotting Ted Danson- being the only one to spot him, might I add-

    Necrons And The Tau

    By Ka-Chan,

    With only an upainted Destroyer Lord and secondary Monolith both lying dormant far away in the depths of my 40K hobby cabinet, my Ulacant army is essentially -and FINALLY- completed. I might throw in a few more Immortals later on, but in the meantime I am more then satisfied with it.
     
    MONOLITH

     

     
    I plan to "polish up" the Monolith later by thinning out the trimming *green lining* with chaos black.
     
    IMMORTALS

    I was originally going to do an entire blog entry showing pictures of how I paint these guys from start to finish, but Photobucket takes so painfully long to upload these photos that I decided against it. For now.
     
     
    =TAU=
     
    Alas, my Tau army is still not ready to be "fielded" so I'm only showing fragments of the mostly unpainted force. Seriously, painting these guys takes a huge chunk of time out of your days and half the time I don't want to do it. I need to take a break from painting so I can tweak my drawing skills *which I'm going to post the drawing of Miku with the faileyes soon just for input*
     
    FIRE WARRIORS
     

     

     
    The Shas'Ui *helmetless dude* is my favorite of that batch, simply because I think I did a great job on his face- which I will still say to this very day I cannot paint human faces. The 'Eavy Metal team paints the Tau with red eyes, but I don't do that because I think it leaves the impression that they are evil due to the notion long burned into our minds that red eyes=evil.
     
    DEVILFISH APC

    Without these floating fishies, your Tau would be like turkeys with the best guns you could imagine- great at shooting and dangerous, but would drop like flies as you shot at them. The funny fact that remains is that this is the only one of three Tau vehicles that I own, the other two being unpainted simply because I almost NEVER eagerly jump into painting the vehicles- which is funny because I always find them the centerpieces for the army after I do so.
     
    STEALTHSUITS

    I've got 6 of these hombres in my force, and they are wicked- take those Fire Warriors from earlier, give them better armor, jump packs, burst cannons AND the ability to become stealthy/deduct enemy charging bonuses and you've got a tough squad of Flying Fire Warriors. I plan to eventually get another pack and bring the group up to nine. But in the meantime I think this does it well.
     
    BATTLE SUITS

    Man, if there is one thing people hate/envy the Tau for more then anything else, it's the Battlesuits. These guys can be souped up with a huge variety of weapons and have the awesome ability to jump and zip around the battlefield like a playground while still being able to fire and then take cover. I have two of these guys painted at the moment while I have another two *not including commanders and Broadsides* waiting to be prepped for the tabletop.
     
    BROADSIDES

    I actually finished these guys *conversion wise, of course* ages ago but only got to posting them now. If these guys could move and fly around like the normal battlesuits, then everyone not pledging alliegance to the Greater Good would be running screaming for cover. These bipedal tanks just blow the snot out of anything they can get a lock on. I didn't do too much over the top conversion work for these guys, more along the lines of personalizing then conversion.
     
    For one, I made their legs look a whole more stable for something striding around with weapons that friggin' big. Second- custom basework. I also gave them some half-cool-half-silly "beret antennae" *aka I slapped a Battlesuit foot onto the side of their heads*...Why? 'Cuz I like soldiers with berets. Basically, I just slapped on bitz here and there to make them look as mechy and heavy as they should be while keeping them akin to the original designs of the Battlesuits to keep a "canon feel" to it *no, I did not mean "cannon"*.
     
     
    So yeah, that's all for the time being! My Tau army is almost complete collection-wise, at least. What you're not seeing are the unpainted tanks, Kroot, Gun Drones, Pathfinders and Converted Guardsmen stored away in the "PAINT IT FGS" box.

    The Manga Club

    By Ka-Chan,

    I've been going there every thursday for the past month. I really like the place because it's a small group of folks my age getting to discuss similiar interests and read over manga much like a book club. I'm making friends with everyone there and I'm happy to be getting out again.
     
    Alas, out of the things I never saw coming....
     
    - I cannot understand the Naruto/Bleach/One Piece jargon they will occasional talk on about.They keep saying I should cosplay as guys I've never heard of @_@
     
    -The Manga series we were supposed to get at the beginning got back-logged on Amazon and we would only get it a WEEK before the club ended for 2 months.
     
    - THE 4 MANGAS WE HAVE TO CRAM DOWN OUR THROATS IN 7 DAYS IS A CUTESY GIRL COMEDY/ADVENTURE MANGA. IT LITERALLY SAYS ON THE BACK OF ISSUE 2 "More supernatural mayehm and hot pretty boys are in this volume!" SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEE~
     
    I'm gonna go dig up Tetragrammaton Labyrinth now and re-read all the gory-as-###### fight scenes...

    Oh Yeah And By The Way

    By Ka-Chan,

    Since BZP's name change option in the control panel has been tarding out on me for so long...
     
    I hereby unnofficially declare my name no longer "Ka-Chan" , but "Ka-Boom" .
     
    Thank you for your cooperation!
  6. Ka-Chan
    Time+ boredom= this.
     
     

     
     
     
     
    Wow, there's a whole lot of Epic Winnage in there. Ka-Boom has managed to stuff so much of his favorite stuff into one image that he can no longer remember what that stuff is in there. What is missing? Should anything not belong in there?
     
    First person to succesfully list off EVERYTHING AND what is missing in that mess of an epic collage gets... Uh, yeah. A reward that at the moment is a stickynote that says "I O U"

    Lotr: Conquest

    By Ka-Chan,

    We actually got it two days ago.
     
    First off, I will honestly say I didn't even know of the game's existence until dad came in on Monday and just suddenly popped it in to suprise us XP
     
    I haven't gotten to play it too much, so I'll be brief.
     
    Pros:
    - Batttlefront formula works really well with LotR
     
    - The controls are very well done and are fairly streamlined.
     
    -Scouts are freaking awesome.
     
    -Wonderfully detailed models.
     
    -Definitely fun to play and a blast in co-op mode.
     
     
    Inbetweens:
     
    -A lot of characters from the books/movies, but voice acting in imitation of the movie characters is pretty mediocre. Not horrifyingly bad, but it might make you wrinkle your nose the first time.
     
    - Campaign mode has a very oddly distorted take on the story.
     
    - More vehicle/beasts and classes, please?
     
    - Feels exactly like Battlefront with the interface- a little too much, honestly.
     
    - Why do some of the controls for basic moves change with each class? It's not too horrible, but it will be certainly disorientating if you switch between the classes alot.
     
    - I seriously hope they stop milking the LotR franchise soon. I don't think J.R Tolkien would be happy to see a generation growing with LotR not as his book, but as Peter Jackson's movies and whatnot.
     
    -I have enough video games distracting me from reality already, man D8
     
    Cons:
     
    -Needs more maps. I've already played half of them through instant action and I've only had the game for 2 days.
     
    - More DETAIL on the maps. Pelenor Fields feels more like a flat, orange rug with dead Mumakil peppered across it. Minas Tirith feels halfway like Kamino with daylight inside roofed buildings. I really like some of the maps, but others feel rushed in and painfully dull. AT LEAST THROW IN SOME CRATERS OR SOMETHING
     
    - A bit more original gameplay could have been put into this. Asides from the fighting style and LotR theme, I feel like I'm playing Star Wars Battlefront II all over again.
     
    Personal thoughts:
     
    Conquest is a fun game to play- but it's hardly going to stand amongst many of the games now released. Dad got it for me and my brother for some reason * and I mean that in the sense that I don't know why he suddenly felt compelled to buy us a 60$ game* , and so I am satisfied with it. But I say to certainly not buy it with your own money until it drops in price.
     
    You will find much more enjoyment in it if you buy it with multiplayer in mind, because otherwise you will breeze through the game. It's fun to play and thus you will probably get a whole lot of fun out of it over and over again between the release of awesome games. But compaired to some of the great games on the epic scale that are out at the moment, it's not worth the price. Basically, save your money and buy it when it drops to around 40$ or something. It's obviously an entertaining installment in the LotR games, but it's not like you're missing out on an expierence of a gamer's lifetime.
     
    I hope putting my voice out there has helped!

    For once, something ironic that I can say is fitting to the point of it almost being moving.
     
    I am, of course, talking about the Inauguration of Barack Obama, America's first black president and Martin Luther King Jr. Day coming hand in hand with eachother.
     
    One could only imagine what Martin Luther King would feel to see how far his movement has gone.
     
    Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, people =p
  12. Ka-Chan
    Because it needed to be done.
     
    WHAT YOU NEED
     
    - At least one Glatorian for each player *duh*
     
    - A ruler
     
    - One die for each Glatorian.
     
    - A basic paint set
     
    - A table or counter of decent size- any place where you will be unlikely to lose the thornax ammo.
     
    - Each Glatorian is either a Heavy Glatorian or a Swift Glatorian. Vorox, Gresh and Terix are Swift Glatorian. Malum, Skrall and Strakk are Heavy Glatorian.
     
     
    THE GAME ITSELF
     
    -Set up your Glatorian/Glatorians across from eachother at either long end of the table.
     
    -Place any terrain or obstacles on the "arena field" before the battle.
     
    -Roll a die to see who goes first.
     
    -Each turn, you have 12 action points to spend. When you use them all up, your turn is over.
     
    -Last man *or team* standing wins!
     
     
     
    ~ Movement
     
    -Running-
    Roll a die for your Glatorian. Whatever number you get, you can run that far at the cost for that many points * you get a three on the die, you can move 3 inches for the cost of 3 points, for example* . Remember, you can keep rolling if you chose to- your turn is only over once you've spent all 12 action points.
     
    -Leaping-
    Roll a die and multiply the number you get by two. Whatever that number is is how far you can leap in any direction you want for the same amount of points * You roll a 5. 5X2=10= leaping 10 inches for the price of ten points* . If you leap, you cannot fire your thornax launcher afterwards.
     
    ~ Melee
     
    -Charging-
    If you're within 6 inches, you can attack your opponent in melee. You get to attack first- then roll a die.
     
    1-3: No hit.
     
    4-5: Hit, take down one life point.
     
    6: Critical hit! Take down two life points.
     
    Your opponent gets to roll a die to counter-attack after your initial attack. Or he can attempt to break your grapple.
     
    If you're a Heavy Glatorian, you are immune to critical hits and only lose one life point on a six instead of 2.
     
    -Grapple breaker-
    After launching a counter attack against your assailant, you may roll to attempt to pull off a grapple breaker if you do not wish to remain in close combat. Roll a die. On a 3 and up, you can break free of combat and move 12 inches back from your opponent.
     
    If you're a Swift Glatorian, you can attempt to do a Grapple Breaker roll BEFORE your opponent attacks you.
     
     
     
    ~The thornax launcher
     
    - Using paint, paint a green dot on one side of the thornax, red on the other. Then paint a different colored dot on each "side" of the black band encompassing the thornax. One blue, one white, one orange and one purple.
     
    1. Fire your shot.
     
    2. If the thornax lands on the half with the green dot, the Glatorian takes no harm. If it lands on the red half, he takes a hit and loses a single life point. Note that that damage or effects can only take place IF the shot actually hits the opposing Glatorian!
     
    If it lands on a side with a color on the band, the attacked Glatorian blocks it and takes no damage, but at a price...
     
    Blue- The shot deflects and the attacked Glatorian gets a free shot back at his opponent.
     
    White- The glatorian's weapon gets knocked out of his hand as he parries the shot. Take his weapon off and place it 12 inches away from the Glatorian in any direction the attacker chooses. You have to be touching the weapon to get it back and use melee to attack/counter attack.
     
    Orange- The attacked Glatorian is stunned and unable to do anything next turn.
     
    Purple- The attacked glatorian stumbles backwards/is knocked off his feet and falls back. Push the glatorian back 12 inches.
     
     
    ~ The Agori
     
    All the rules apply to the Agori, but they only have 8 action points instead of 12 and have a life counter of 3.
     
    For each Agori within 2 inches of a Glatorian, that Glatorian may re-roll any unsuccesful melee attacks free of cost *but the original failed roll still costs* and may choose to let the Agori take any melee or Thornax damage at the price of them losing the life points instead.
     
     
    DONE
     
     
    Well, what do you guys think?
  13. Ka-Chan
    Well, I haven't been able to find the advanced rules on Bionicle.Com so I will retain this opinion on the game in the meantime.
     
    Wow, that's incredibley lame.
     
    I'ma gonna make up my own rules in the meantime to make it more playable.

    Glatorian Once More

    Zombie Powder

    By Ka-Chan,

    Is just about the most epic Manga I've read in ages *which makes sense, seeing as I don't buy Manga unless I consider them epic*
     
    'Course I have the Shonen Jump version, which means all the Japanese sound effects were translated into boring American text and all the excessive blood/gore and swearing got omitted >,>

    Concerning Monoliths.

    By Ka-Chan,

    Should I just go ahead and build the new one, or should I deconstruct the old one and rebuild it using some of the new parts and instead have one Monolith with a lot of handy leftover bitz?
     
    I dunno, personally.
     
    Unlike going with a traditional black cube, I was figuring painting and weathering my Monolith in the way of a steel shipwreck. To the door and up, it's going to be covered in rusty green scum of sorts, as if it had been lying half submerged in a swamp for eons. The rest will be black and purple with golden, ebony-styled patterns flowing up it's arches.
     
    What do you think?

    Glatorian

    By Ka-Chan,

    WHY THE FLYING FUNGAL FUNBOMB DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE THE GLATORIAN EXCEPT ME? IS LEGO APPLYING TO SANCTONS TO MARYLAND ONLY?
     
    This is like, the fifth store I checked and even TRU doesn't have them.
     
    I want Gresh so badly ;~;

    The Monolith

    By Ka-Chan,

    I has it.
     
    My SECOND Monolith, no less.
     
    So now I have an old, crummy one and a brand-spanking new one.
     
    That and I have replaced my Cursed Teal Dice with some black GW dice.

    By Ka-Chan,

    Man, it seems like before I'm allowed to sync anything fun to my Ipod I have to give it every little bit of important information about me so if I download songs illegally the Mac dude from the commercials can come to my house and decapitate me in my sleep.

    What were you expecting- Harvey Dent?
     
    Man, this one had to be the most fun I've had with drawing something in ages.

    Grey Knights.

    By Ka-Chan,

    You guys should be banned for those 2+ saves.
     
    I swear, I'll be able to grind all you Space Marines into the dust once I get my Monolith up and running. That is, I have to either repair my current Monolith by buying an individual green bitz sprue pack or just buy a whole new one altogether.
     
    Soon I will have the key to awaken the true potential of my army.
     
    Soon.
     
    That or I'll switch to my Tau and have a fun time shooting your screaming tin cans at a lovely distance.
     
    Yeah, I'm talking to you, Sean ಠMಠ
  23. Ka-Chan

    Blaugh.

    By Ka-Chan,

    Feeling better now.
     
     
    I guess everyone just has to let it all out once in awhile, amirite?
     
    Anyways, much win today. Manga club AND Warhammer night- which will be quite awesome since now I have a fresh platoon of Immortals *I will be posting an entry of how I painted them when I get the chance* and an additional two Pariahs bolstering my elite.
     
    So yeah, back to normal!

    Don't Attack Me.

    By Ka-Chan,

    Don't.
     
    You can attack my opinions, you can attack my actions.
     
    But don't attack me.
     
    It was a harmless rant, people. It's my blog and I think I'm allowed to let off some steam at the end of the day within it's boundaries. After all, there is nobody else in this house or any friend I could call up that could listen to me ease an irritation about an online children's site without being laughed at. I just wanted to blow off a bit of anger that had built up over the course of a long time.
     
    And suddenly I'm finding somebody I don't even remotely know sticking my faults in my face with harsh words in front of everyone else to see.
     
    You guys think I don't know? You guys think that I'm some egomaniacal airhead who thinks that I'm some sort of God who thinks his words fall on the ears of the deaf? No, I'm not.
     
    A jealous God, maybe.
     
    Do you think I am blissfully unaware of myself?
     
    Of course not. In fact, I'm so self-concious that I can't stand it.
     
    This wouldn't have been such a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that someone had to take it to a higher level and attack the very flawed traits that unfortunately make up my foundations as a person. You don't even know me.
     
    Being told that I'm being unreasonable is one thing.
     
    But having a personality mirror shoved in my face in front of others when I already know what the ugly thing looking back at me is just humiliating. I've looked into that mirror before and hated what I saw- please, don't make me have to see it again in front of others.
     
    Trust me, I wouldn't be making such a big deal of this right now if it hadn't seriously hurt my feelings.
     
    I know it's the internet and it shouldn't be taken seriously. But when the only people I get to talk to and community I get to be a part of on a daily basis are over the internet because of circumstances in real life, it can become serious. Serious enough that when someone just starts rattling off a list of faults about you -that you already do your best to try and avoid and work around them- out of the blue, it can really upset me.
     
    I know you might not have been trying to do harm, but guess what- you did.
     
    Trust me on the fact that I know you were right- but to do that so blunty in front of others is just unbearable for someone like me. If you have to do it so badly, do it over PM. Otherwise, just leave me alone.
     
    Thanks for anyone who bothered listening or tried to understand. I feel a tiny bit better now that I talked that off.
     
    I'm getting off now.
  25. Ka-Chan

    Okay, Seriously.

    By Ka-Chan,

    You guys don't want me to leave, yet when I try to post stuff in my blog, I get like, snot's worth in feedback?
     
    This is silly, this little clunky machine that is Bzp's social system.
     
    *Rant switch is flipped*
     
    It's pathetic. Just pathetic.
     
    What do I have to do, claim to be a girl of pretty age and proper behaivor to get any sort of recognition in my blog? All I ever get are a few petty comments that consist of maybe a sentence or two. How is it that people like Wrack or Exo can post completely idiotic horse ###### and still get a wealth of replies and attention while I'm over here in my corner, posting the occasional entry that usually shows insight into my life or my works.
     
    Yes, I know I am going over the top here- but it's a rant about an issue that I find works for all Bzp.
     
    What is it that I have or lack that makes it so nobody around here even does much in the way of talk to me?
     
    I don't want stardom, I don't want to be a Bzp Idol. I just want the occasional PM or profile comment telling me "hello" or asking me "what's up?" and some encouraging feedback.
     
    THis might not be such a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that Bzp plays a fair role in my social because I homeschool and all my real friends are a pain in the ###### to get a hold of.
     
    Again, I know I'm being somewhat illogical here. People love my art when I feel compelled to post samples and my Transformer RPGs have always been popular- but I just want some recognition, for God's sake.
     
     
    Fun fact: It's the sort of ###### above that I just threw at you that is the REAL reason why I wanted to leave Bzp- because I just feel like it's a BIG waste of my time.
     
    I'm going to post a collaberation of my drawings tommorow and I hope to get some sort of general response from the crowd. If I don't, well then that's just sad that all of you are happy living off the gunk some of these people churn out daily.
