<br />
Quite a while back my good friend Mordian7th, <a href="http://mordian7th.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b><i><u><span style="color: blue;">from his namesake blog Mordian the 7th</span></u></i></b></a>, had asked if I would be able to illustrate a couple characters from said 7th Mordian Regiment of the Imperial Guard.<br />
<br />
And yes, they are still and will ever still be the Imperial Guard to me. Moving on.<br />
<br />
I have just gotten my new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil recently, and decided that his request would be the first done using these two tools and the app Procreate...<br />
<br />
Wanna see how it turned out?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>Now obviously the man has a serious love of the 7th Mordian Regiment and it's history. He's devoted a lot of time and effort in conversions, tracking down all the written lore on them, and really enjoys their story and history within the 40K Universe. The two characters he specifically asked for are Evin Eldro and the Ogryn Thargadd. <br />
<br />
Evin Eldro is the Commander of the 7th Mordian Regiment, D Company, while Thargadd is the Sergeant of the Ogryn Mercenary unit known as Thargadd's Thumpers. Here's a shot of them both as imagined by Games Workshop from the way, way back machine.<br />
<br />
Now I've never been a fan of the goofy way GW has always portrayed Ogryns, either then or now, and I certainly didn't want to replicate the extreme 80's vibe from the picture above either. After getting a little direction from Mordian, I went my own way and reimagined them according to how I thought they should look.<br />
<br />
First up, a little compilation on my initial steps from rough pencils to refined pencils, then inking to color...<br />

<br />
Considering this is the first piece I've done in Procreate with the Apple Pencil, I found a few things that didn't work out so hot, some that worked out just fine, and others that I'll try differently next time. It's all about growth as an illustrator and an artist, things I've neglected for far too long.<br />
<br />
As a bonus, Procreate records each and every stroke that goes into each piece created in it. As such, I'm reviving my YouTube channel I started years ago and will be posting these time-lapse videos of my work there. Take a gander and give it a watch!<br />
<br />

<br />
The more I do of these, the more I'll refine this process and keep this entertaining for all of us. Here's hoping you stick with me on this!<br />

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GthKM2vUCHw/Vo8-Jc26_aI/AAAAAAAAI6w/LTLFPch-b14/s1600/IMG_0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GthKM2vUCHw/Vo8-Jc26_aI/AAAAAAAAI6w/LTLFPch-b14/s320/IMG_0051.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Ever since I was 3 years old I've been drawing or painting, creating some sort of visual art. Of course, you could say that of any child really, refrigerators are full of drawings by children all across the globe. But how many of those children who are encouraged to imagine and explore with their creativity continue past age 10? Maybe 13? Sure we all see doodles in the margins of notebooks, but how many teenagers carry sketchbooks with them on a daily basis, or ask for new art supplies for their birthdays?<br />
<br />
For 35 years now I've been drawing and painting. For 35 years I've listened to my dad's voice in my head from when I was a child saying that I could do anything I wanted to when I grew up.<br />
<br />
Well I wanted to be an artist.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>With that in mind, as I got older I set three goals for myself as an artist. I'm beyond thrilled to say that I've actually accomplished those initial three goals...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3Ywqi6yGhg/Vr3rQ146q9I/AAAAAAAAI8k/tBbTt01AX-M/s1600/564623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3Ywqi6yGhg/Vr3rQ146q9I/AAAAAAAAI8k/tBbTt01AX-M/s320/564623.jpg" width="244" /></a></div>
<br />
Goal 1: Become a published Comic Artist.<br />
10 years ago I was given the opportunity to draw for Cracked Magazine, back in it's last year of physical publication. For those of you who don't recognize the name, it was in the style of MAD Magazine, and back in the day actually sold better at one point. A writer named Steve Strangio had me do a couple character concepts for a story of his, and liked my style enough to vouch for me to the editor of Cracked. I ended up doing a two-page spread spoofing Queer Eye for the Straight Guy that Steve wrote. It was an amazing experience and below you can see how it turned out. My only regret is that I didn't do more to make the most of that opportunity.<br />
<br />
Now I realize that this might not be what I had in mind when I was in high school and wanting to work for Marvel or DC, but it's also a darn sight farther than I thought I would get after I got married. It checks the box for me, that's for sure.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p-3DQqkqs6U/Vr3rQymlHmI/AAAAAAAAI8g/iDjR5N_7eT8/s1600/517KMSVGAZL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p-3DQqkqs6U/Vr3rQymlHmI/AAAAAAAAI8g/iDjR5N_7eT8/s320/517KMSVGAZL.jpg" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
Goal 2: Design the Cover for a Published Novel<br />
Also 10 years ago, during the time that Goal #1 was in the works, I was doing some freelance concept illustration for a serial story website, keepitcoming.net. Sadly that site has been down for some time as the owner decided to move on to another publishing venture. However I was able to do quite a bit of banner design, character design and more for various authors during my involvement with them. One of the authors there, Elijah I. Toten, contacted me to create a cover for his novel "Overpopulation: The Choosing". He was much younger then, 17 or so I believe, and we worked out a deal that we were both happy with. Take a gander at the cover below.<br />
<br />
Of course, I look at it now, and know I can do better. Considering though where I was as a designer back then, I'm actually still fairly happy with it. Once again, there's that box being checked. Would I like to do more? Sure I would. Anything is possible.<br />
<br />
Goal 3: Show in a Gallery<br />
Now this Goal is only partly/mostly checked off, I think. Mainly because in order to graduate with my Bachelors in Fine Arts, I had to actually put on a full-blown show instead of a research paper. That meant securing a location, coordinating the opening with a reception, catering it myself, hanging the pieces, etc. etc. The only reason I say this only partially checks that box is because it was indeed a College project. However, I walked away from that show with 10/11 pieces sold, and the 11th I donated back to my school as a thank you for allowing me to use the gallery. All 11 pieces were ink paintings and It was a blast to do. A lot of hard work, bot all worth it in the end.<br />
<br />
...I only wish I had had the presence of mind to photograph it all. I really regret that.<br />
<br />
Trying to show in a gallery now? Well, I won't say it would be impossible, but I would have a very long road head of me to do it, and I have other goals and aspirations at this point in my life. Someday again, perhaps.<br />
<br />
So is all of this leading somewhere, or am I just rambling for the sake of it? Well, about a month or so ago, I purchased an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. Ever since, I've been experimenting and really trying to put the pair of them through their paces. While ultimately, I expect to purchase a Wacom Cintiq, these two product have seriously put that purchase off for a while. The way they interact with each other is flawless, and I'm not an Apple fanboy either. They really and truly are flawless in their design and purpose. <br />
<br />
I've completed one illustration already, very much hobby related as it's subject matter is in the 40K universe, and I plan on many, many more. I'll start posting them here, as well as the time-lapse videos of them on my YouTube channel. May as well get some use out of it, eh?<br />
<br />
No, This isn't going to turn into a 2D art only blog. I'm still very much involved in the Tabletop Miniature scene and it will very much influence my artwork as well. That said, look for some diversity of posts within the blog as well when it comes to my artwork and illustrations. <br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to the future of this blog and my artwork both growing!<br />

Back in mid-November of last year, there was an interesting post over at the WGC Infinity Facebook Group. It read like this:<br />
<br />
"I'd like to talk about Community Growth. I'm the table top guy at a shop in Richmond, VA and we have a small but tight Infinity group that I'd like to make much larger because we have the space to run HUGE events and I love the game. What helped you guys grow your communities?" - Mike DeBolt<br />
<br />
This was an amazing post that sparked a huge amount of discussion. Discussion, not arguments, debates or complaints, but honest, true and helpful discussion on the topic.<br />
<br />
See? The internets can be nice sometimes...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Let me start out by saying that Mike here asked a question that must be asked in every every gaming community, no matter what game it is. Let me emphasize something here...<br />
<br />
<b>THIS MUST BE ASKED</b><br />

<br />
I don't care if you ask it locally, within a helpful online community like Mike did, or whatever, but it must be asked. If we aren't asking how to grow our communities, then quite frankly we probably don't care about growing out communities. <br />
<br />
So how did I answer it?<br />
<br />
Be enthusiastic without being overbearing. New players can becomes overwhelmed by even the best of intentions and it's a delicate balance.<br />
<br />
Be thankful of the store you play in. Encourage your players to spend money at that shop and to not chat about online retailers while playing. Don't just plan ahead for you and your players, but for the store's schedule as well.<br />
<br />
Don't knock or be disrespectful of other games, communities, blogs, podcasts, etc., around your community. You don't know where your players are coming from, and Infinity as a whole has an amazingly supportive and *intentional* spirit about it.<br />
<br />
Be intentional. Intentionally courteous, intentionally organized, intentionally helpful, and intentionally willing to sacrifice your own play to run events, demos and tournaments.<br />
<br />
Always answer questions, even from people who aren't playing the game at that time. They may have just bought that PanO starter yesterday and you didn't know it.<br />
<br />
Be willing to shoulder a decent amount of the Terrain load of your store doesn't have any. Be it MDF from any of the manufacturers, or you get all crafty with foam core, get terrain together, paint it and learn to set up tables.<br />
<br />

<br />
Those are just my thoughts partway down the insane amount of great answers from all kinds of folks within the group. Let me cherry-pick some others that I really loved as well...<br />
<br />
"Set up a weekly event. Stick to it. Run growth leagues. Be positive and don't gain say other games. Infinity stands on its own merit and people see that." <i>- Joel Traveller</i><br />
<br />
"Do your best. Don't be afraid to stumble, fall, and then Climbing Plus your way out of any unexpected pitfalls." <i>- Karl-Christian Vanmoerkerque</i><br />
<br />
"Get the word out, flyers, word of mouth, go on community Facebook pages and spread the word, don't spam but let them know you are running a demo day, or 200 point beginner event. If the store doesn't have a demo set of Infinity, ask them to order one for display purposes. just be sure to show enthusiasm, smile don't talk badly about the other games. That can be the biggest thing i can stress, even if you were burned just make sure to ask question, interact with the person and use his/her name often so they are shown you payed attention. Keep eye contact, let them ask questions and respond as clear as possible." <i>- Nestor A. Medina Jr.</i><br />
<br />
"Focus on small parts of the game that allow people to learn sub sections of the game and just get out there and have fun. As everyone sees your group having fun, it will generate interest and you'll pick up more along the way."<i> - Chris Kornfeld</i><br />
<br />
"If you haven't...make a group site for your area...have a pizza night grin emoticon give a slice a pizza to anyone that plays a demo." <i>- Nestor A. Medina Jr.</i><br />
<br />
"A lot goes into building a community. The biggest items on that list? Patience, Positivity, and Pleasantness.<br />
<br />
Don't rush building the community. Start off small with your friends and, as people come over to ask what you are playing show them the game, offer to run some demos, and be cordial and open.<br />
<br />
Run events for new players and vets alike. Do training scenarios to get newer players used to specific rules or rulesets and have tournaments and non-ITS events for the veterans that the newer players can dip their toes into if they choose.<br />
<br />
Be consistent and present. Don't be late to your own events without someone who can cover for you. Schedule events far enough in advance that players can adjust schedules.<br />
<br />
Don't be negative. This includes trash-talking other game systems. Don't present Infinity as an alternative solution to another game. Infinity has enough merit to stand on its own.<br />
<br />
Be inclusive. If vets want to help, incentivize it and give them due credit. You can't be everywhere all at once so use the experienced players to your advantage (or the energy and excitement of new players who, once they know the base rules, often make very good demoers."<i> - Kevin Dickens</i><br />
<br />

<br />
"Just make sure people are having fun.<br />
<br />
Some portion of your players LOVE INFINITY and they are going to play it no matter what. Maybe they love the models, the competition, whatever, they will find you and they're here to stay. Just keep scheduling events and you're good.<br />
<br />
Another portion of your players are never going to be Infinity players (at least not long term) and your challenge is not to spend any more time on them than necessary. My go to line is 'Infinity's not for everyone, you have to play the game that's right for you'.<br />
<br />
The middle 60% is where you live, and this group just wants a good time. Seriously, I spend most of my time running an event just watching to see if people are having fun. I will probably never run a 4 round tournament in Atlanta ever again. Yeah, I've got some die-hard competitors who don't like the math on a 3 round tournament, and I don't blame them a bit, I don't like that math either. " <i>- Mark Manlapas</i><br />
<br />
"The secret to getting new players to stick is your other community members. As long as you cover the basics, the game basically sells itself. But, the real reason players will stick around is because they enjoy gaming (and hanging out) with other members of the community. You have to be willing to cull bad apples and convince the others around you to set positive examples and play "the right way". Players come for the game but stay for the community. It takes a village, etc." <i>- Kyle Wilkerson</i><br />
<br />
"Be active on local gaming forums, in the 'General Minis' section if there isn't one for Infinity. Work with the LGS owner, but don't be pushy. Be prepared for possible push-back from players who end up not liking the game - it happens, but don't let it get you down and don't let it ruffle your feathers." <i>- Tim Steed</i><br />
<br />
"I would also say that when you are playing a game and someone starts asking questions, take the time to explain to them what is happening and why. The more you draw them in the more they'll want to play. I've sold the game to more than one individual just by engaging them in conversation while playing." <i>- Michael Edwards</i><br />
<br />
...and that's really not even half of the contributors, comments and advice that was given in that thread. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/WGCInfinity/permalink/1007673565922647/?comment_tracking={%22tn%22%3A%22O%22}" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><u><i><b> If you'd like to read it all, GO HERE.</b></i></u></span></a><br />
<br />
Please, go read it all. It's more than worth it. Yes, it's very Infinity-centric, but it all applies for whatever you are trying to grow within your local community.<u><i><b> </b></i></u>After all folks, this ain't a game of Solitaire. We play these games with people, and honestly every single one of the very best friends I have to this day, I've faced across a table at one point or another.<br />

"But Tim, what happened to the updates for November and December?"<br />
<br />
Honestly, life swallowed them up and didn't even spit them back out. As you could probably tell from my lack of articles in December, I didn't get much writing done at all unfortunately. Typically my time management isn't really that bad, but apparently during the holiday months I blink and suddenly it's the second week of January!<br />
<br />
Enough excuses though, on to the review!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Just to get it out in the open and be honest about it, quite frankly I mailed in November and December. I didn't break my new habits or throw everything away, but I also didn't make any improvements. Back in November I went to go see my doctor as I had been experiencing some fairly severe hand pain for a few months. After a bevy of blood work and tests, it turns out I have Gout!<br />
<br />
...this gives a whole new meaning to the Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler for me, by the way...<br />
<br />
As a part of the initial treatment to get my pain and swelling under control, I was on a month-long regiment of Prednisone. The unfortunate side effects of this lovely steroid is weight gain and water retention. Yay! When I started it, I was down to 243, and then three weeks later I was up to 254! When I had a conversation with my doctor about it, she said that was perfectly normal for the dose and time frame I was on it for. Not about to undo all the work I had put into my health and weight, I stopped the meds a week early, and worked my tail off. I joined the cardio kickboxing classes my Tae Kwon Do Dojang also hosts and have been going to those once or twice a week in addition to everything else. I'm happy to say that I'm now starting the new year on proper medication for my Gout, and I'm back down to 247.4 pounds.<br />
<br />
Prepping for this review, I decided to go back and read through all the Healthier Gamer articles. It was actually kind of nice to be able to go through when I started this journey and see where I was coming from. Sure it's not like it was 10 years ago or something, but at the same time I have a different outlook and attitude today than I did a little over a year ago. Its been interesting to try and find a correlation between getting healthier and gaming every month. Interesting and challenging a bit at times, but ultimately very satisfying, and at times humbling, to share this journey with you all. Every single one of you who have publicly commented in my articles, as well as those of you who've approached me personally through email or in person, have been so very supportive and encouraging. This journey and complete change of lifestyle would have been so very much harder without each and every one of you.<br />
<br />
I think the most humbling part of sharing my monthly thoughts and updates with everyone is that people who don't even read this blog for gaming reasons read the Healthier Gamer series to keep up on my progress and see how I'm doing. I was approached by someone from my church the other week to ask how I have been doing with my weight loss and health track because she hadn't seen an update from me in a while. I knew people cared, but to have someone actually come up to me and ask me how I was doing because I HADN'T updated meant so very much to me.<br />
<br />
So what's in store for the second year of this journey? <br />
<br />
Well, first off I need to tell you all thank you. Thank you for following me through this life-changing time that I've grown during. Thank you for your encouragement, your support and your accountability. You may not know it, but forcing myself to give hard numbers of weight and exercise to such a public venue...well, it kinda sucks sometimes. Especially once the weight stopped falling off. However, the times when I was tempted to not update, on purpose, were the times when I remembered how much support the community has shown me and I felt ashamed for even thinking of not sharing the hard times as well as the good times.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I think I may ease back on the monthly, clockwork updates on weight and activity levels. Oh they will still be there, but I want to mix in some other articles, more philosophical ones as well as reports on methods, encouragement and statistics of our culture and it's health. Both physical and otherwise!<br />
<br />
Finally, over a year into it, I can honestly say that this Road to being a Healthier Gamer is one without an end. There's no exit ramp, and there isn't a dead end. This road is a never ending one full of temptations to give up or give in, as well as ones of triumph and success. You wanna know what the best thing about this road though?<br />
<br />
I get to walk it with my friends, my family, my wife and my son, for far longer that I would have if I had never starting walking it in the first place.<br />

<br />
2015 has come and gone, and so very much has happened in the span of the past 12 months. We’ve seen the death of a much-loved game in Warhammer Fantasy, and the rise of many upstarts in the industry such as Infinity, Malifaux, Dark Age, Firestorm Armada, and many more.<br />
<br />
I’ve also seen much in the way of change from a personal standpoint as a hobbyist. Some for the good, some for the better, and some for the…well, let’s just say different.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>The Fall of the Old Guard: Warhammer Fantasy Battles</b><br />
So the elephant in the room that is 2015. May you rest in peace dear friend.<br />
<br />
Heck, I never played more than a couple intro games myself, but I actually own an entire Ogre Kingdoms army that hasn’t even been assembled yet after they revamped them a while back. I will say though that a very good friend of mine over at <a href="http://chronowraith.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b><i><u>Chronowraith’s Corner</u></i></b></span></a> was played fantasy for more than his entire adult life, and was deeply upset, angry and finally disgusted by the fact that GW gave up on their long-standing original game. It’s a sad state of the hobby when something like this happens as it not only kills a fantastic game, but it leaves people with hundreds and thousands of dollars of product without a game to support it. It doesn’t just leave a void in the miniature game industry, it literally devalues entire collections that we as hobbyists own. I have well over $700 dollars of Ogre Kingdoms models that I will now do absolutely nothing with. It’s moves like these that can had have soured gamers to the point of abandoning an entire company they used to support and love.<br />
<br />
And don’t tell me there’s always Age of Sigmar. We’re not talking about that. <br />
<br />
Moving on.<br />
<br />
<b>The Rise of The Next Generation</b><br />
You could say that Infinity has indeed been around 10 years now, and Malifaux nearly as long…but I still see them as a part of this category. Both games have seen huge surges in interest, sales and devotion by entire communities and convention support. These two games in particular are growing like wildfire and don’t show any signs of stopping any time soon.<br />
<br />
Firestorm Armada and Planetfall, Dropfleet, Dark Age, Wrath of Kings…all are also of this category. Some of these are growing more than others, and mostly that reflects the parent company’s interest in growing that particular game and line of miniatures. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2016 has in store for these games and others as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Personal Successes and Changes from 2015 as a Hobbyist</b><br />
Taking a look back at my New Year post from January 2015 is a bit encouraging as well as humbling. Lets see what I did and didn’t do…<br />
<br />
MOAR Infinity: Check. Heck, last I checked I was ranked 42nd in the US according to CB’s ITS rankings. Best I’ve ever done in any miniature game. More satisfying though is my work with Kevin here in the Gateway area growing the Infinity Community as a whole. We’ve run tournaments, leagues and we’ll be running one of the tournaments at AdeptiCon this year!<br />
<br />
Healthier Gamer Updates: Check…mostly. I missed November’s and December’s updates for the sheer fact that I’ve been so dang busy these past two months. Look for a year in review for the Healthier Gamer series later this week or early next.<br />
<br />
Social Media: I’ve stutter-started this to some degree, being a bit more active on Twitter lately, but I’m not sure I’d call this a success just yet. Yet. I’m not giving up on it! It’s more like I need to form the habit of using the tools that Social Media provides.<br />
<br />
Conventions Galore!: Actually, I didn’t do too badly at this. I went to AdeptiCon, GenCon and the Midwest Massacre. All three are on the docket for this year as well. If there can be more, there will be!<br />
<br />
Gaming Industry Work: I’ve been fairly successful at working with Secret Weapon and Iron Box Games, as well as podcasts this past year. I’ve also sponsored quite a few events with my design work! I look forward to doing much more of this work this year!<br />
<br />
More Competitions: Yeah…I pretty much failed this one as I didn’t enter a single painting comp all year. Again, time was the limiting factor here. Perhaps this year I could do better than a big old goose egg?<br />
<br />
Basing and Terrain: So those two series of posts that I had planned for last year are still planned!! Let’s get them off the ground this year, eh?<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Final Thoughts as We Move Into 2016</b><br />
2015 was busy, and 2016 looks to be even more so. I’m working on some time-management scheduling for personal and freelance work both so one doesn’t overshadow the other. 2015 was spent really focusing on growing the Infinity Community here in St. Louis, MO, and that won’t stop this year either. If anything, Kevin and I want to continue to ramp up interest in the game and run even more events.<br />
<br />
2016 looks pretty good so far, even if we are only 5 days into it…what about you? How’s this year looking for you as a hobbyist and gamer? Sound off folks!<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmeIaKPg1_g/VRmWkAMlNYI/AAAAAAAAH7o/T8bkjsA0TbQ/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-03-30%2Bat%2B1.30.57%2BPM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmeIaKPg1_g/VRmWkAMlNYI/AAAAAAAAH7o/T8bkjsA0TbQ/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-03-30%2Bat%2B1.30.57%2BPM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Every year around Thanksgiving, registration for the world’s largest Table Top War-games Convention begins. This particular year, AdeptiCon’s registration was on Monday, November 21st at 8pm Central Time. <br />
<br />
Last year was the first year that CVENT handled the Registration Cart and personally, I felt it went smoother than any other year that I had taken part in it. This year would see me registering for my 10th AdeptiCon attendance.<br />
<br />
So how did it go? Is AdeptiCon still growing? Did I get everything I wanted?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Let me start by fully acknowledging the fact that yes, the 21st of November was well over a week ago. Life’s been beating me up lately, as I’m sure you can tell by the inconsistency of my posts, and just keeping me crazy busy. However, that doesn’t change the relevance of this article at all.<br />
<br />
So after talking with Hank Edley with AdeptiCon, here are some pretty significant stats from within the first 24 hours of registration opening:<br />
<br />
• Over 1350 people registered in the first 24 hours<br />
• Total number of registrations were up by over 100 people from last year<br />
• ViG badges sold out within 15 minutes (200 of them)<br />
• FULL Swag Bags were gone sometime that night<br />
• There were 100 Team Tournament registrations<br />
• 151 40K Championships registrations<br />
• 95 40K Friendly registrations<br />
• The Horus Heresy events have sold out<br />
• The Titanicus events have sold out<br />
• Kings of War sold out and they added more slots<br />
• Guild Ball sold out<br />
• Firestorm Armada and Planetfall nearly sold out<br />
• The Warmachine Team event nearly sold out, and the rest of the Warmachine events were halfway or better filled.<br />
• The Infinity tournaments all shot immediately over half capacity each, and there is a max of 48 players in each.<br />
• Malifaux, Saga, Bolt Action all at strong numbers as well.<br />
• MANY of the Hobby Seminars sold out as well<br />
<br />
One major thing I’d like to look at is the Team and Championship 40K Tournaments. 2 years ago, the 40K Team sold out in 30 minutes. The Championships barely lasted an hour. These two huge GW tournaments, especially the Team, were the largest draws for AdeptiCon since it’s inception over 13 years ago. This year? Well, over a week later there are still 13 spaces left in the Team Tournament, and 77 left in the Championships. That said, the 30K events, the Titanicus, the 40K Friendly? All gone. sold out before either of the other two have. And that’s with AdeptiCon expanding them from last year.<br />
<br />
The next thing I’ll point out is the huge influx and popularity of the Skirmish and Non-GW games as well. Infinity, Malifaux, Firestorm Armada, Kings of War…All are experiencing a huge influx of registrants playing their games. Now sure, you could say that they are merely filling the void where Warhammer Fantasy used to be, and to some extent you’d be right. At the same time though, these games are growing by leaps and bounds all on their own and they need to be given the props they deserve for that as well.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Were there any hiccups?</b><br />
For some, yes. A couple of the Facebook groups I’m a part of had a few folks say that there was the occasional database error, or loading error that would cause them to lose their cart. Also that if something sold out, you didn’t know until you tried to checkout, and then you had to go back from the beginning to drop it, then try and check out again rather than just drop it from your cart. <br />
<br />
That said, I remember the old days of the servers bogging down, loading at a snail’s pace and praying to the dice gods that you could get what you wanted before everything was gone. CVENT handling the cart is a huge improvement.<br />
<br />
Quite frankly, it was an insanely better experience than GenCon registration for sure…<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Is AdeptiCon still growing?</b><br />
Yes. Absolutely and unequivocally yes. The numbers don’t lie, and I thank Hank and Matt for sharing them wit me so I could write this article. AdeptiCon is a healthy Con that has no end in sight to it’s growth and potential, especially considering their current venue.<br />
<br />
<b>Did I get everything I wanted?</b><br />
Actually, yes, yes I did! Registration for me was a smooth 7 minutes in total. I am playing in the Friday Infinity Team Tournament, and taking two classes with Angel Giraldez, and one with Caleb WIssenback. I also got my ViG Badge! I didn’t overbook myself this year as I really need to network, catch up with friends and pace myself. You know, beyond running the Thursday Infinity Tournament with Kevin from <a href="http://chronowraith.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><u><i>Chronowraith’s Corner</i></u></span></a>.<br />
<br />
OH! One thing that I can pass along here? X-Wing fans…you may want to sign up for the large Thursday or Friday Main Tournament now. There are still ton of spots, yes…but a little birdie told me that some time after the first of the year, a BIG announcement will be coming, something that ANY Star Wars Fan would fight for. Literally the largest prize ever given out at an AdeptiCon!<br />
<br />
All in all, I think that for 1350+ people driving themselves through an online registration all at the same time, AdeptiCon did right by it’s attendees and is shaping up to be another door-busting, braun-burner of a Con.<br />
<br />
So Who’s Going??<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-udne3F7MCkw/Vj0TGk8dE8I/AAAAAAAAIyM/I6frjEfxsBo/s1600/ScaleDebate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-udne3F7MCkw/Vj0TGk8dE8I/AAAAAAAAIyM/I6frjEfxsBo/s400/ScaleDebate.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Ever since I began wargaming, there has always been issues with scale discrepancies between models within a game. From FASA’s Battletech, to GW’s infamous Rhino that’s supposed to fit 10 Space Marines, to True-Scale debates, and so on. <br />
<br />
Lately though with my head-long dive into Infinity the Game, there’s been a seemingly steady creep of scale differentials between old and new models for Corvus Belli. It has been said before that not every human being is the same height, armor adds bulk and height in different ways from different makes and models, but it can’t be ignored that the newer, 3D sculpted models are of a larger species than the older, more traditionally sculpted models.<br />
<br />
What I won’t do here is carry the "True Scale/Marines just need to not bend their knees" debate into Infinity. That horse has been dead a long time. But let’s address the supposed “scale creep” of Infinity, shall we?<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DWHg4ca_5i0/VcO1e49HtFI/AAAAAAAAIhE/wyB4jfL0s_4/s1600/IMG_1028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DWHg4ca_5i0/VcO1e49HtFI/AAAAAAAAIhE/wyB4jfL0s_4/s320/IMG_1028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To begin, I would point to a picture (above) that Carlos showed at GenCon on how they came up with the new Azra'il in scale and size before we dive any further into this topic. CB is taking scale very seriously right now and I’m very happy for that. How how does that address the existing line of figures though? What’s a solution for people who find this scale difference a problem?<br />
<br />
One solution that has been offered is to become mindful of purchases for consistency, only buying what said player feel fits with the other models that person plays with. If that's your solution, then awesome, I'm glad you can come to one in relation to your needs as a hobbyist and gamer. In the end though, is it worth it? You’re severely hamstringing yourself in terms of gameplay and you could very well be waiting a while before even line troops get resculpted to your perceived “proper” scale. <br />
<br />
I’ve also been told that Infinity fans will easily shrug off criticisms and ignore the problem…I disagree with this though. How?<br />
<br />
Well, perhaps a better way to look at it isn't that we're shrugging it off, but more that we are consciously making the choice to not let it affect our enjoyment of a game we want to play, and models we want to paint. We would rather promote, nurture and help grow communities where we can disagree at times and still enjoy the game and each other. Is everyone going to be satisfied? No, of course not. The only thing that happens when you try and please everyone is that not everyone is pleased. <br />
<br />
You have to ask yourself, does it really truly matter to your enjoyment of the game in the end? When you are playing with your toy soldiers on the tabletop, laughing with the person across from you and having a blast, does it really matter that the scale is a touch off? <br />
<br />
Well, to some it might…<br />
<br />
“Im an artist. The visual aspect of the game is paramount. This game was chosen for how it LOOKS. Yes, I know CB is working on it, they pretty much are composed of Growing Pains molecules, I get it. and I much much much prefer the new models to the old, so its going in the direction I’d like... but those old models are getting harder to stomach.” (This is a paraphrased comment from an Infinity Facebook Group comment)<br />
<br />
As a fellow artist, I can understand where this type of sentiment is coming from. You pay so much attention to the aesthetics of the piece you are working on, that you can't help but dissect then because you are investing so much time, energy and work into it. I get it. Heck, that's why some people learn to sculpt figures. They want to paint a figure or aesthetic that doesn't exist to then yet. I'm not suggesting this for yourself or anyone in particular, but it's what I've heard from sculptors in the industry.<br />
<br />
...and quite frankly, one of the reasons I'm pushing past architectural 3D work and learning digital sculpting myself. But that's a whole other discussion.<br />
<br />
I'm honestly not dismissing the differences in scale within Infinity the Game because I'm blinded by my love for the game or anything like that, nor am I trying to dismiss anyone else's wish for consistency. I'm just saying that I'm making the conscious decision to not let it get to me as much as possible. Will I go out a buy the old PanOceania Croc Man sculpts now that I own a new one? Probably not...but dang if Tom from MayaCast/Tom Schadle Miniatures didn't make some of those older, smaller sculpts look really good with his paint job on the latest force he put out. I'm also making the decision to not let it bother me on the tabletop during a game as much as possible. We're playing a game and having fun with long time friends, new friends, and friends we don't get to see but maybe once or twice a year. <br />
<br />
I can only answer for myself in saying no, in the end the debate over miniatures scaling with each other doesn't matter that much. There will always be slight inconsistencies when you have difference artists and sculptors all working on one game line, and I can live with that. Why? Because I enjoy the game, enjoy painting the models, and enjoy shaking hands across the table after a good match.<br />
<br />
After all, what’s a little scale between friends?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s1600/HealthyGamer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s400/HealthyGamer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
It’s not a sprint…it’s a marathon.<br />
<br />
Try as I might to deny it, we’re coming up on the 1 year mark of me actually trying to get my health in order. November’s Update will be that 1 year mark, even if I didn’t start these updates until January of this year.<br />
<br />
Holy cow. It’s been a year.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Let’s go ahead and get the weight update over with, shall we? Looks like last month I ended at 243. Last night I weighed myself and…<br />
<br />
243<br />
<br />
Huh. Well, nothing was gained at least? <br />
<br />
Actually, that’s a lie, and that’s kind of my point for this month. I changed quite a bit this past month, and while my weight didn’t alter in the slightest, my habits, exercise and health have. It’s like that in the hobby sometimes, isn’t it? We can get so focused on wanting to change one aspect of our hobby (see the correlation to my weight here), that we can ignore the progress we’re making in other areas of our hobby.<br />
<br />
How? Well, what happens when we are struggling with learning a new rules set, like Infinity for example, and we keep running into things we either don’t know, get wrong, or forget every game for months? It would be easy to become frustrated and say that you just can’t learn the rules, right? What if I told you to take a step back and actually evaluate what you do know after those months of play? I guarantee that you actually know more than you think you do, you are just getting frustrated by the things you don’t know, even while learning them!<br />
<br />
And this is just one example. The same could be said for learning airbrush techniques, new blending techniques (I’m looking at you, 2-brush blending), and many other aspects of the hobby as a whole. <br />
<br />
See, when I weighed myself, I didn’t feel poorly about my lack of weightloss. For the first time since I plateaued, I might add. Why not? Because I’ve been working my tail off for the past two weeks to get up earlier every morning and work out. I’ve been specifically working on certain muscle groups, resistance training using my own body weight, and throwing at least 100 kicks every morning. I’m pushing myself, and I’m actually seeing results. <br />
<br />
That’s point of all this, right? To see results? <br />
<br />
I saw my doctor last week and she was thrilled with my progress on my health and weight. She said to me “Remember Tim, it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon”. And she’s right. I still have a ways to go, and I’m okay with that. I’ve proven to myself that I’m truly committed to running this marathon, and nothing is going to stop me now.<br />

PS: Yup, I'm a week late with this update, I know. October was a heck of a month, and November isn't shaping up to be any easier, work-wise. Let's see me get back on track a bit though!

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TbVW-EhyX8o/Tj9FlaaapbI/AAAAAAAAHdk/9eA5SqyeTvY/s1600/Army3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TbVW-EhyX8o/Tj9FlaaapbI/AAAAAAAAHdk/9eA5SqyeTvY/s400/Army3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
When is something considered a “Throwback”? After one year has gone by? Two maybe? What about three? <br />
<br />
It was back in 2011 that I completed a Deathwing-style Black Templars army commission for a friend, and it’s hard to believe that was 4 years ago! Wow. It was also before I owned an airbrush, so all my subtle blends for the blacks to make them not boring were done by hand across the whole army. <br />
<br />
This week in history, we’re going to take a gander at the Command Squad for this Templar-Wing army. I’m sure by now the army composition has changed completely for a force like this, but that doesn’t make this any less of a fun project I had the pleasure of working on!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> The roster for this particular command squad consisted of a Banner-wielding Lightning Claw Terminator, two Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield combinations, a Chain Fist load out, and finally an Apothecary with a Cyclone Missile Launcher on his back. I swear, by the end of this particular army, I could blend the colors Bone, Red and Charcoal Black in my sleep. I also started stretching my wings a bit more in the simpler aspects of freehand. I do wish I had kept up with that a bit more, but then again I tend to wish I was painting more right now in any capacity.<br />
<br />
…more on that later. On to the pictures!!<br />

<br />
I will have to say that I did truly thoroughly enjoy this project, and was happy to have had the opportunity to paint at least one Deathwing style army in my hobby career. I also was able to figure out how to create some rocky, tundra/snow style basing for the first time! That was a fun exploration, let me tell you. I’d do it a little differently now, but only slightly. Mainly adding sheets of broken ice to help add more depth of texture and interest to the bases.<br />
<br />
This is also the last full-army commission I ever took, and will ever take again. I just don’t have it in me, neither in relation to time available, nor in the desire to do so. I’ve happily recommended friends in the industry like Brandon at GMM for army commissions since then, and will continue to do so. If you’re in the market for something like that, you should definitely check him out! Brandon does amazing work, and is worth every penny.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think! Also, let me know what you’d like to see next in this TBT series! More Black Templars? Maybe more Centurions?<br />

<br />
Recently I had the opportunity to share how I would start Yu Jing as a faction within Infinity the Game with a up-and-coming player. This sharing ended up turning into a full-fledged article for the Wargamers Consortium! I'm on the front page, folks!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wgconsortium.com/index.cfm/stories/view/1209/getting_started_with_yu_jing_in_infinity/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><u><i><b>WGC Stories: Getting Started with Yu Jing in Infinity</b></i></u></span></a><br />
<br />
A quick note though that I also make int he article: This is not some written-in-stone law of how you should start the
faction. Just like my <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/search?q=%22A+Matter+of+Opinion%22" target="_blank"><u><i><b>"A Matter of Opinion"</b></i></u></a></span> articles, this is purely my
opinion after playing the faction for over a year now, casually and in
about a dozen tournaments.<br />
<br />
Head on over and take a look! Eventually I'll post the article here, but I want to give the WGC some love, all of it well-deserved for all the content and love they give the community at large! I'll also eventually be doing articles for the Sectorials within Yu Jing as well. <br />
<br />
Drop a comment there or here and let me know what you think!<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s1600/HealthyGamer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s400/HealthyGamer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Where in the heck did this month go?! No really, I want someone to answer this time, because I feel like it was September 1st just a couple days ago. <br />
<br />
Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part considering how this month went…<br />
<br />
That last statement makes it sound worse than it actually is, really. In truth, this month has been more of a test of consistency more than anything else. What do I mean? Well, I'm glad you asked…<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Consistency, or being consistent with, according to Merriam-Webster is something "marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity : free from variation or contradiction (a consistent style in painting).<br />
<br />
You have no idea how eye-opening it was when I looked up the definition of the word while wondering how I was going to tie this month back into the hobby. It couldn't have been handed to me on a silver platter and been more perfect. You see, consistency on the surface seems like a wonderful thing. You're being steady in your work, keeping up quality and timeliness. And all of those things can be true, and they can be good! However consistency can quickly degrade from something good into something bad. How? In time, it is possible that consistency can lead to stagnation and complacency. <br />
<br />
It's easy to see how stagnation and complacency can lead to poor results (read no results) when trying to better your health. When you grow complacent with your health, you become happy where you are…or perhaps comfortable would be a better word. Once you've become comfortable with where your health and fitness is at, you can easily be tempted to stop pushing yourself to be better. After all, you're comfortable, right? You aren't doing too badly, and hey, that extra piece of cake wouldn't hurt…<br />
<br />
…and then it begins to all roll downhill. Maybe not fast and maybe not all at once, but the more comfortable you grow the more at risk you are to grow complacent with your health and fitness. Soon those pants you worked so hard to get into are getting a touch tight, and those workouts get a little farther apart. I'm not saying that you're going to lose everything you worked for, but at the same time, it is a risk that you begin to take.<br />

The same can be said about our hobby. You can be consistent with your painting, and that can be a very good thing. However, once we become comfortable with where we are at in our skills at painting, modeling, sculpting, or gameplay, we can actually begin to stagnate and lose some of that skill we worked so hard to get to. I haven't painted a model since just before AdeptiCon this year, and I know I'm a bit rusty. You need to practice to get better. You need to try new things and learn new techniques to get better.<br />
<br />
What it all comes down it is it's not good enough to just keep doing. You have to keep doing better.<br />
<br />
What spurred this particular topic this month? I gained a pound as of last night's weigh-in. Las month I ended at 242 even, and last night I weighed 243 even. No not a big jump, and I know I'm being consistent in what I'm doing, but perhaps I'm a little too comfortable with where I'm at. I've already spoken to my Martial Arts instructors at ways to help push me, and I'm setting a slightly lower caloric goal for the day as well.<br />
<br />
How are your endeavors in the hobby lately? Are you pushing yourself to get better, or are you maybe getting a little too comfortable?<br />

For those of you who aren't familiar with my "Syndrome" series, I like to approach certain aspects of our hobby with a certain tongue-in-cheek style of writing where I liken them to a medical issue. <br />
<br />
If you'd like to catch up, so far we've covered the <a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2011/08/shiny-syndrome.html" target="_blank"><b><u><i>"Oooooh, Shiny!" Syndrome</i></u></b></a> where you just have to buy the all the new things, the <a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2011/11/syndrome.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>"Bandwagon" Syndrome</b></i></u></a> when someone jumps on the proverbial bandwagon of the new hotness or whatever is broken this month, and the <a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2011/12/syndrome.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>"Collectors" Syndrome</b></i></u></a> that plagues some of us into concentrating all our efforts on one focused collection. We've even reached into the <a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-zone-syndrome.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>"Comfort Zone" Syndrome</b></i></u></a> where some of us refuse to try new things/games/factions/etc., and finally we addressed the <a href="http://miniaturetim.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-syndrome.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>"Hobby-Hammer" Syndrome</b></i></u></a> where you plan and over-plan a project until it gets to the point that you never actually complete said project.<br />
<br />
If you've not read any or all of the above Syndromes I've analyzed so far, click their titles above for a link to each article. Otherwise, let's dive into the newest of the hobby-related maladies that I've discovered recently…<br />
<br />
The "Broken Record" Syndrome.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Before we move on, I would like you all to know that the irony of this particular Syndrome article title is not lost on me in relation to itself. This is the sixth in this series, after all. I'd like to think it's not truly a broken record, as each article is a different subject but still, it's a little <br />
amusing.<br />
<br />
So what constitutes the contraction of this particular hobby malady? Is there only a singular symptom of it, or can it have multiple mutations within our beloved pastime? For me, I believe whole-heartily that this dreaded Syndrome can affect many different aspects of our hobby. Let's take a look at a few.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Buying a Broken Record</b><br />
Easily one of the simplest versions of this Syndrome, Buying a Broken Record is when you literally cannot stop buying figures from a particular line or company. Even when you will take years, if ever, to get to doing anything with them. Your buying habits are so ingrained that when Company X comes out with a new figure, tool or book, you are sold. Even if you don't want to buy it, you buy it!<br />
<br />
<b>Building a Broken Record</b><br />
This particular symptom of the Syndrome can actually take on multiple forms. The first is simply the iteration where you build one faction, and never vary from it. I mean, just how much can one man or woman love Space Marines/Cygnar/Pan Oceania/insert faction here?! But try as your friends might, you just never add any variety to your collection. The second version of this symptom is more related to the hobby side of things rather than the collecting side. This is where you own hordes and hordes of shiny metal or lifeless plastic armies, never to see the wet bristles of a brush. You love to build, but you hate to paint, or you don't have time. But by golly, you find the time to build more! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Painting a Broken Record</b><br />
This is stubbornness at it's best in the hobby world, and can rear it's ugly head in many forms. Refuse to try any other brush than the brand you use? Refuse to paint without a wet palette? Refuse to thin your paints? Refuse to use any other brand of paint and/or primer? I could go on, really, but you get my point.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Playing a Broken Record.</b><br />
Love to spam that unit, and you'll continue to do so while you teach your future grandchildren to do the same? We've all either been there, or practice that ourselves so you know what I mean. Originally this was going to part of "Building a Broken Record", but it really does deserve it's own category. Spamming units, always playing a shooty/assaulty/mechanized list, and avoiding other units and unit types religiously are all symptoms of this, and they all happen on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
So what is the cure? How do we answer this and fight against the "Broken Record" Syndrome? Simple folks…keep an open mind. Be open to suggestions, try new things, swap armies with your friends to see how they play. Not only will that help you branch out, but it will also help you learn the other forces and make you a better player. If someone suggests a line of paint that you don't normally use, buy a bottle of it and just give it a shot, it may surprise you!<br />
<br />
Who's had this particular malady? How did you break your "Broken Record" Syndrome?<br />

I may have been a little absent from the blog for the past two weeks (which will change by the way, I have a lot of stuff planned for this little corner of the internet), but I wanted to ask that we take a moment to remember this day.<br /><br />Be you an citizen of the U.S.A. or not, I ask that you remember the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the loved ones who still wake up on this date every year in mourning. Not for political reasons, and not because you agree or disagree whatever your religious beliefs are or aren't. I ask because I believe the gaming community I'm a part of is a good one to the core of who they are despite our myriad of differences, and this was a tragedy that did not have to happen. <br /><br />If you comment, comment in a way to honor those lost and who've lost as this is a memorial posting.<br /><br />- Tim<br />

Some small part of me is looking forward to ending the year-long commitment of monthly updates, and probably not why you may think. No, it's not because I wish to stop this journey, nor is it because I no longer want to be held accountable by the very community that I'm trying to reach.<br />
<br />
It's because I hate overly long blog post titles. I can't seem to think of a better one for this series for this first year and it grates on me every time I type it. It may be silly, but still.<br />
<br />
All that said, let's dive into August, shall we?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>At the tail end of July, I paid the good doctor (no, not that Doctor, there was sadly no TARDIS there) a visit for a health check-up and blood work. I was weighed, I was measured, and I was found wanting.<br />
<br />
…no, really. They weighed and measured me. No? Not funny? Okay then, moving on…<br />
<br />
My weight last month topped out at 246, and I had yet another huge convention to eat my way through starting the very next day. Normally this would have been very intimidating to me, and for the first couple hours during my drive to GenCon, it was. I was thinking about how I would track my meals considering I'd be eating out so much, taking advantage of the food trucks, etc. I actually stressed about it for much of the drive until I stopped for gas and something to drink. I walked around a bit and decided that I wasn't going to worry about it. Not only was I not going to worry about it, but I wasn't going to log anything I ate. I would trust that my decisions about food that I've been working so hard to improve for 9 months would actually be becoming habitual. I would pay attention to my food choices and do my best to make good ones, but I wouldn't stress about it, especially with how much walking and exercise I would actually be getting while there.<br />
<br />
In other words, I decided to treat this as a test that I am truly changing my lifestyle, and not just paying lip service you all of you and myself.<br />
<br />
Throughout the best four days in gaming (GenCon) I ate well, I watched my portions, and I made a conscious effort to not just cram whatever was convenient into my mouth. Sure I ate fast food while driving to and from GenCon, but I didn't supersize anything, and I made sure that whatever I ate for the rest of that day wasn't too much. I enjoyed meals with friends and even had a few beers. I also walked my tail off and logged an average of 8 miles of walking per day according to my Garmin.<br />
<br />
Then I got sicker than a dog as soon as I got back and didn't go to Tae Kwon Do or practice for a solid week. Which made me feel like I had possibly taken two steps forward and one step back. So when I weighed myself last night, I was a little nervous about where I would end up.<br />
<br />
242 lb.. on the nose. So I actually dropped 4 pounds since my last weigh-in. <br />
<br />
Yes, I still have a ways to go, but to me this proved that I'm not just on a diet. Sure I went right back to tracking my calories and exercise, but I'm actually making a difference in my life and changing myself for the better. <br />
<br />
That makes it all worth it.<br />

<br />
<br />
It's been a while since we visited the past, hasn't it? Since we took a look at my Black Templar Assault Marines last time, I thought we'd go back to my Centurions Chapter once more.<br />
<br />
The Centurions were a labor of love those 5 to 6 years ago when I started them, and while I should have done a series of feature articles on them before (yes, KrautScientist, I'm looking at you), at least I"m able to bring them back now as a part of the Throwback Thursday series.<br />
<br />
This time I'm going to highlight the 5 Terminators I created for them, paying special attention to the conversion work on them rather than lump the painting into it as well.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I really and truly put heart and soul into this army when I started working on it. I dug out history books on ancient Rome and Greece, ways they waged war and weapons used at the time. Not to try and do a 100% historically accurate army, but to lend flavor and a richness of culture and feel to it. It may have taken a year to complete, but it was well worth it.<br />
<br />
I specifically chose to do this force as a Space Wolf Counts-As force because of two reasons: Cavalry (which I'll get to in a later post), and the sheer amount of options I could have that would enable me to go crazy with conversions. I went to town on the terminators in this regard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p3-QVe1qqKQ/Vcwn1GreeXI/AAAAAAAAIvQ/2EOw0burib4/s1600/IMG_1238.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p3-QVe1qqKQ/Vcwn1GreeXI/AAAAAAAAIvQ/2EOw0burib4/s320/IMG_1238.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9flmPHoLB80/Vcwn7-DPt8I/AAAAAAAAIvo/wKqCBaTzLm8/s1600/IMG_1241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9flmPHoLB80/Vcwn7-DPt8I/AAAAAAAAIvo/wKqCBaTzLm8/s320/IMG_1241.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Universally I wanted to give them a feeling of mobility and movement, so to me that meant removing the hunchback look of the armor completely. I ended up dremeling out a channel for the neck, adding a gorget and stud work, with a little GS to smooth it all out for a finished torso once more. Imparting a sense of movement also meant that I would be slicing and carving away plastic where the arms connected on both the bodies and the arms themselves, requiring me to pin them in place before resculpting most, if not all, of the soft armor joints. This would allow for more dramatic and dynamic posing of the arms at the least.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RGz0yW0Nelk/Vcwn3Yyn_6I/AAAAAAAAIvY/Z4gsySQbaYk/s1600/IMG_1239.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RGz0yW0Nelk/Vcwn3Yyn_6I/AAAAAAAAIvY/Z4gsySQbaYk/s320/IMG_1239.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S3bluQGhtBQ/Vcwn5o1T_nI/AAAAAAAAIvg/hZpJ1jm68Vw/s1600/IMG_1240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S3bluQGhtBQ/Vcwn5o1T_nI/AAAAAAAAIvg/hZpJ1jm68Vw/s320/IMG_1240.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I also would bring back favorite head swap of mine for Terminators from the Fantasy (RIP) Chaos Warrior helmets, trimming them down and adding a dramatic horse hair plume from some 3rd party heads from Max Mini. Continuing to borrow form that model range, I used the Chaos Knights shoulder pads instead of the standard Terminator ones, with some plasticard trim in the shape of leather banding.<br />
<br />
The final elements of the conversions on the whole involved trimming tabards from Black Templar chest pieces to hang below their waists, custom-made lambda disks on their belts, and all kinds of bits and bobs to add more detail. Finally, every one of the 5 would have a unique weapon option, from a sword to a spear, a hammer to an axe, and finally a pair of claws.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0gZitAjzvQ/VcwnyzY20hI/AAAAAAAAIvI/hufdWNiN-d0/s1600/IMG_1237.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0gZitAjzvQ/VcwnyzY20hI/AAAAAAAAIvI/hufdWNiN-d0/s320/IMG_1237.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And the whole unit together…<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WIrLS4h3nxk/VcwnsRQDefI/AAAAAAAAIuw/TaWyhKEVhhI/s1600/IMG_1242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WIrLS4h3nxk/VcwnsRQDefI/AAAAAAAAIuw/TaWyhKEVhhI/s400/IMG_1242.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
You may be wondering where the skull-faced one is in the bunch. The one from the center of the initial image? Originally he was going to be a Lone Wolf from the codex. One that was gladiatorial and out for blood. He was so much fun to convert, using the skull helm from the Chaos Warriors, the cloak from the Chaos Terminator Lord, chains and skulls from Chaos Marauders, and so much more. Unfortunately he never ended up in the army, though he went to live on as a Black Templar Terminator Captain in another army I painted on commission. Here he is though, in the only pictures I have of him in his original iteration.<br />
<br />

I had the pleasure of not only attending the Corvus Belli Seminar this year, but I got to help Doremicom with his live stream of it on his Twitch Channel! <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/doremicom" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><u><i><b>GO HERE</b></i></u></span></a> to check it out if you haven't already.<br />
<br />
I would like to show all of the copious amounts of pictures I took from it, though I'll be splitting this into two posts, that will post at the same time. Trust me, there are a ton of photos, folks. It's better this way. <br />
<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s1600/HealthyGamer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cPpmVoADKaY/VMqleW6-K0I/AAAAAAAAH0M/UrCNjxA0p-c/s400/HealthyGamer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Yes, of course I realize it's August 6th. I actually have three very good reasons to have delayed this particular update. <br />
<br />
1. GENCON!<br />
2. DOCTOR VISIT AND BLOOD TESTS!<br />
3. GENCON FLU!<br />
<br />
…somehow, the first one was so much more fun than the second or third…<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Yes, I also realize that I'm horribly behind on my GenCon recap posts that I need to get up here. I'd like to refer everyone to Reason #3 above please. This has been the worst case of Con Crud I've ever gotten in 9 years of attending major conventions. Including those in Vegas that I've been to for work. Sure, a minor cold, or a sore throat and general feeling of blah? We've all had that kind of Con Crud. This time though, the Crud struck as I drove home on Sunday, and laid me flat for two days straight. I went back to work yesterday, got home, at dinner, and then crawled into bed. Today is mildly better, so I actually get to post something!<br />
<br />
The primary reason for my delay though was that I was awaiting the results of some blood work I had done after a doctor's visit the day I left for GenCon. See, my wife's insurance is now requiring a full physical and blood work to be eligible for the premium health insurance plan. Probably a good thing as I haven't had your standard, check-up style blood work done in quite some time. So lets see what I found out, yeah?<br />
<br />
<b>Doctor Visit and Check Up</b><br />
A physical can tell you a lot of things. One of the first things it tells you is how much you weigh. This time around, fully clothed I weighed 246 pounds. YIKES! Shedding the heaviest of garments, I probably could take a little off that, but not much so it looks like I've gained about 5 pounds or so since last month. I'd like to say I'm surprised by this, but I"m not. July was a rough month as it was the last part of my wife's recovery from surgery and just all around a really busy time. What that does tell me though is that I need to buckle down and reinforce my exercise regime and calorie counting. <br />
<br />
I can honestly say though that the rest of the physical went great. My blood pressure is perfectly normal, and the doctor is happy with my weight loss thus far. She wasn't concerned with my gain of a few pounds as when I told her about Tae Kwon Do, she was very honest with me about how the last 40 pounds or so of my goal will be difficult. I'll be gaining muscle mass while losing fat, and muscle weighs more than fat.<br />
<br />
She was a bit concerned with some stiffness and pain in my left hand and fingers, so she added another bit to the standard blood work to look for Inflammatory Markers, and off I went to the lab.<br />
<br />
<b>Blood Work Results</b><br />
One of the primary things they check in this standard blood work is your cholesterol levels. Now, I'll be frank here and let everyone know that I was positive for high cholesterol when I was 11 years old. That doesn't mean I should neglect it, but it certainly wasn't surprising when my results came back Tuesday and my cholesterol was high. That being said, my doctor is giving me 6 months to adjust my diet and exercise, then I get another round of blood work done. If it's still high, without having shown improvement, then I'll be given a medication to help the problem. With my family history and my own history, this is what she thinks will happen, but she has also stated that she's seen people make a positive change on their own, regardless of genes. 6 months? I think I can make a change for the better in that time frame.<br />
<br />
The other portion that really has nothing to do with my weight or general health is that the test for those pesky little Inflammatory Markers came back elevated. She said that normally that wouldn't be too much of an issue, as they weren't extremely high, but with the pain and somewhat limited mobility in a few fingers on my left hand that hasn't gone away, she wants me to see a Rheumatologist. We'll see how that goes.<br />
<br />
Honestly? All in all a fairly neutral month. Why do I say neutral when I actually gained weight? Well…mostly because when I showed concern about it, my doctor told me to not worry about it. She suggested that my body has gotten so used to the protein shakes that it's adjusted and seems them as normal now. She wants me to go back to normal food, while still watching the caloric and fat intake, and adding more cardio exercise to my daily routine. I can live with that.<br />
<br />
Is it the best month I've had? Nope. But my size 42 pants are still a touch loose on me, and I walked my arse off at GenCon, so I think the cardio was covered those 4 days! Also being at GenCon, it reinforced why I'm doing this. Being a part of the largest gaming convention in North America and seeing the health and state of my subculture en masse solidified the fact that this is a new lifestyle for me, and one I'm not giving up on.<br />
<br />
I'm in this for the long haul, and nothing is going to stop me now.<br />

<br />
The inaugural Midwest Massacre Was held this past weekend in Mt. Prospect IL, at Games Plus, and as mentioned last week, your very own Miniature Tim was one of the event sponsors! <br />
<br />
I was also one of the players! The Gateway Region was well represented, even if a couple of team members weren't exactly from the St. Louis Area.<br />
<br />
So what went on? How did the event go? How went the luck of the dice?!?!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
First off, please join me in being insanely jealous of Games Plus' Infinity Stock:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? Their game room was just as wonderful. It was large, spacious and separated from the rest of the store.<br />
<br />
The tournament had 8 teams, with 32 people participating in total. As you may have seen from Wednesday's post, the tables were absolutely spectacular to view as well as to play on. Even though there were 4 tournaments playing simultaneously, the event ran smoothly and without a hitch. I don't think there was one true dispute, and I believe I can speak for everyone when I say a great time was had by all. Wonder for yourself? Do a search on the WGC Infinity Facebook Group for Midwest Massacre and check out the reviews and praise there. The Swag Bags were amazing, and it was beyond awesome to have a hand in sponsoring such a great event.<br />
<br />
I was in the 400 point bracket and for the first time ever, ran 2 combat groups. I just had to play with new toys like the Hac Tao with HMG and the new Yan Huo, and the High Tier bracket gave me the perfect opportunity to. Here are the two lists I brought:<br />

<b>Game 1: Nimbus Zone</b><br />
My first game was against a Chicago local who brought NCA with a full link of Bolts, a Squalo and an Aguila Guard with HMG. I ran my List A. Playing on the table above, we rolled off and he won, taking deployment and choosing the heavily wooded side. I took top of turn and was made to set up first. Figuring I could either play it cautious or go for broke, I deployed very aggressively and decided to use my first turn to set up AROs, as well as position to grab the center objectives in the second turn. My opponent set up very defensively, and the only thing I could really see was a single Bolt. I successfully infiltrated my Oniwaban and the game began. I moved ahead with the plan, placing some key figures in suppressive fire, along with buffing both my Total Reaction REM and my Rui Shi with Marksmanship lvl2. His turn one saw a lot of AROs while he kept playing defensively, and I even managed to put some wounds on his Squalo. He did manage to knock my TR Remote unconscious though along with blowing up the Raiden HRL with a Smart Misslie…even with U-Turn being utilized! <br />
<br />
Top of turn 2, and I blew through all my Command Tokens coordinating orders to move up, tap and take the three objectives, and retreat back. The rest of my orders were spent once more on shots and placing even more models into Suppressive Fire. At the end of my turn, I had 4 models in Suppressive Fire, all three boxes, blitzed my Engineer over to fix the TR Remote to bring it back up, and few casualties. Bottom of turn 2 saw my Suppressive Celestial Guard Hacker crit the Squalo into unconsciousness, and his machinist kill it the rest of the way. Many, many ARO's later and it was back to my top of 3. I disabled the two antenna on my side of the board, popped off a few more shots and finally revealed my Oniwaban to Secure his HVT. The game ended with a 9-0 win for me…only because I kept forgetting to Forward Observe to get my other Classified. That would come back to haunt me later. I did manage to score 7 Crits in this game though!<br />

<b>Game 2: Supplies</b><br />
After lunch, my second game was against James from the Indy region, played on the table above. James brought one of two armies I was not looking forward to facing in 400 points…Steel Phalanx. I knew this was a possibility as I had seen what he was bringing on Facebook, and was still not looking forward to it. I just don't have a ton of MSV in my toolbox right now. Regardless, I chose List B, because of it's MSV and large threats, and rolled off. I won, and after looking over the battlefield I chose Deployment. James chose top of turn and I made him deploy first, this time he being the one who deployed aggressively. I decided to deploy in a semi-turtle fashion, though I did place the Yan Huo in a place where either he would have to deal with it, or eat an ARO no matter what he did. His reserve was Achilles, and mine was my Oniwaban again. I successfully Hidden Deployed him within inches of Achilles. <br />
<br />
James spent 12 of his 16 orders in his first turn just taking out the Yan Huo. The Yan Huo didn't kill a single model, as he would make his Armor rolls or I would miss entirely, but he was well worth his points just to nearly deny James an entire turn. The rest of his orders were spent tapping the center console and move back 4 inches. My first turn saw me reveal the Oniwaban, move into CC…and die to a crit by Achilles. So to get revenge, after a more than a few orders, the Raiden and the Su Jian tag-teamed to taken Achilles down together, the Raiden dealing the final blow. The rest of my orders were spent positioning, fixing the Rui Shi and just trying to whittle down his forces. Thankfully I would out-roll him whenever he would ARO smoke, and I ended the turn with 3 models in Suppressive Fire again. Turns 2 and 3 went faster as there were shots flying everywhere, and Crits following them! James and I actually Crit and out-Crit each other once! The game was bloody and an absolute blast. I ended my last turn with a 7-4 win, and a total of 9 Crits for the game.<br />

<b>Game 3: Highly Classified</b><br />
The last round of the day saw me on top table in my bracket. That's right, top table!! That's never happened before in the history of my tournament career in any game system! You know what the bad thing about that is? I'm on top table with John Crenshaw who was on top table in the Adepticon Championship Tournament earlier this year. Talk about intimidating! John, however, is a super nice guy and this was the most intense, amazing, nail-biting and fun game of Infinity I have ever played.<br />
<br />
John brought Nomads and won the roll to take first turn. I chose sides and had him deploy first. I ended up taking List A again for this final round. For the first time all day, my dice failed me. I failed the infiltration roll on my Oniwaban and John breathed a visible sigh of relief. He then proceeded to pick off models here and there, though I did reveal my Hac Tao for an ARO I could pass up against his Szalamandra. I'm really glad I did that as his deployment, cover and TO Camo made nearly every shot John took against him at either -9 or -12. My first turn saw my Engineer finish off my own TR Remote, and I took a few pot shots of my own, but my dice were still cold and it was looking a little bleak for me. Luckily neither of us got any of the objectives, and it was still tied at 0-0.<br />
<br />
Turn 2, and things begin to turn around for me. John does a bunch of positioning in his turn, along with a little murder to secure him Extreme Prejudice as well. My turn I Spotlight a Tomcat to score Telemetry and do a bit of my own murder and positioning as well. We're still tied up at the beginning of turn three, but he has an unconscious Uberfalk that he's able to heal up with another Tomcat after dropping a slew of Zero-V smoke to deny me any chance to thwart it, netting him Experimental Drug. He's able to finish his turn 3 while scoring his secondary classified objective, leaving me in a pickle for my last turn. My turn 3 sees me re-camo my Oniwaban that I had moved up, and Rambo him up the field to try and take out his Szalamandra TAG. I was able to get into base contact, scoring 2 hits while he flames me. While I didn't Crit, I did hit twice and he failed one of the armor rolls. Down goes the TAG to much rejoicing on both sides of the table! Turns out John had never had a TAG mono'ed before and it was a blast. That opened up the field for me to come up, drop a Zero while thankfully not killing him, and then net Extreme Prejudice of my own. We're now tied up on main objectives, with him leading only by his secondary. I have two orders left. I swap out my classified for Secure the HVT and go for broke with a Zuyong FO, only to get dropped halfway there by his remote. With my last order, I peek my Paramedic around the corner and pop the downed Zuyong with a Medkit. The game literally now has come down to one die roll. If I make the Physical save, I win 6-4. If I don't, John wins 6-4. <br />
<br />
I didn't make the save. <br />
<br />
With many cries of mock-outrage on my part and happiness on John's, we finish the game with handshakes, back-slaps and big grins on our faces. That game was so amazing. I did finish with 4 Crits as well.<br />
<br />
With my Objective Point total for the day at 20, I was tied for first. Unfortunately for me, the guy I was tied with only lost 1 model the whole 3rd game and won by tie-break in Victory Points. Remember how I said not gettign telemetry in Round 1 would come back to haunt me? Yup, wouldn't have been a tie-break then. I really can't complain though, as these were the best played games I've ever had, and I came in second place, scoring a $50 Gift Certificate to Warsenal as my prize!. It was such an amazing day. I ended the day with 20 Crits total. And yes, I promised some friend back home I'd count them all.<br />
<br />
The winning team was from the Joliet area, just south of Chicago. See their Shiny and Chrome grins below! (bonus points for those who get the reference)<br />

What an amazing day. And in less than a week, I'll be playing even more Infinity at GenCon! I'm even working the Demo tables in the gaming hall!!<br />
<br />
I can't wait for the Next Massacre!<br />

<br />
Infinity is one of the most terrain-intensive games out there right now. Each table can vary in density, height and available cover so that no two tables are really ever alike. Personally I find this not only refreshing, but also a very real part of the tactics of each game as well. You could play the exact same mission on 3 different tables, and you would play the mission 3 different ways!<br />
<br />
John and the Chicago crew have assembled a truly awe-inspiring amount of quality terrain for Infinity, and the tables at the Midwest Massacre showcase it!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
I'd also like to mention before I get to the pictures of each table, that John was very particular and dedicated to making sure the tables were set up in a way that really gave each game a deep level of immersion, all the while maintaining an extremely high level of playability. Check them out!<br />

<br />
I learned a lot from John and the Chicago crew this past weekend. How to make some of this terrain, as well as how to set it up! I have a tendency to go over the top when I set a table up, and while it may look cool, it doesn't always led itself well to playability at times. I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned at the next local game day here in the Gateway Region!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for a recap of the Massacre!<br />

<br />
No, you didn't read that wrong. I've decided to broaden my horizons in the tabletop, RPG and board game gaming industry and begin marketing myself. This is the first step in my journey to get my name and skills out to a larger audience, beyond just showing personal hobby work. I want to start slow and not get in over my head. After all I still have a full time job and a family, neither of which I want to, nor can, neglect.<br />
<br />
So what am I sponsoring, and how?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
As you all know, there's this little game I've dipped my toes in called Infinity. Now if by "dipping my toes in" means that I've dove into the deep end of the pool, all the while drinking the Kool Aid, then that would be accurate. This weekend I'm going to be at an Infinity event called…<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/InfinityMidwestMassacre?fref=ts" target="_blank">The Midwest Massacre!</a></b></i></span> Held at Games Plus in Mt. Prospect IL, this weekend!<br />
<br />
The Midwest Massacre is an ITS team tournament with a different spin to it. Normally an Infinity Tournament is your standard pairings and rankings by wins/Objective Points. A standard Team Tournament is the same thing, only it's teams of two, each bringing 150 points for a combined 300 and you play partnered with your teammate against another team. Think of the Midwest Massacre as more of a…Wrestling Tournament. <br />
<br />
See, in a wrestling tournament you have a team, but everyone is in their own weight class and competes in their own weight class. The Massacre is very similar. Every team consists of 4 players all playing at different point levels, 150, 200, 300 and finally 400 points. Each point bracket is run as a separate tournament per normal, and there will then be an overall team winner as well. All in all this is a very unique and fun way to run an event that really stands out among the rest. <br />
<br />
The Midwest Massacre is run by John Sawicki and the Chicago Infinity crew, and they are doing an amazing job with it. So much prize support, and the Swag Bags are going to be overflowing with so much that it would make Santa jealous. I promise I'll be taking plenty of pictures and reporting on it next week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So what am I doing in all this? Well, originally I just designed the logo for the event. Using that logo, John partnered with <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://ironheartartisans.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>Alex Landing of Ironheart Artisans</b></i></a></span> to get winners plaques, silhouette markers and all kinds of fun stuff that Alex is sponsoring the event with. Then I used Captain Spud's Classified Deck files to put the logo I designed onto the card backs, and those are going in the bags as well. John's also using the logo for custom event patches!<br />

<br />
Not a bad foray into sponsorship, eh?<br />
<br />
This is just the beginning folks. I've got a bunch of branding changes on the horizon for the Miniature Tim brand. Yes, I said brand. The blog won't be going anywhere, but I will be expanding it over the course of the next year and really pushing myself and showing the community and the industry both just what I can do.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to take you all along for the ride! Why? Because without you helping make this blog a success, this wouldn't be possible.<br />

What's the subtitle for this month's update? Probably something along the lines of "When you're in it for the long haul…"<br />
<br />
…though to be honest, it should be more along the lines of a sound born of frustration, want to revert to bad habits and lack of immediate gratification…<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll just stick with "When You're in it for the Long Haul".<br />
<br />
Hey, I said I was going to be honest, right?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>One of the things I promised when I began this journey is to hold myself accountable to you all of you, though, and how could I not when so many of you have voiced your support on the blog itself, and more have done so outside of it. See, I think this has most likely been the most difficult month out of the past 8 months of this journey that I've had so far. I've had to buckle down and accept a few things, one of which wasn't exactly easy to swallow and admit to. <br />

It seems that I have a bit of an addictive personality when it comes to food. I like to eat. I like the act of eating, the pleasure it brings, and the comfort it bestows after a stressful day. I like to eat when I'm reading, I like to eat while I work, and I like to eat while I'm spending time with my boy during Saturday morning cartoons. You know where that reliance on food that makes me feel good gets me? Well, I can tell you where it got me. It got up to 281 pounds last year, that's where it got me. It got me to the point that I couldn't play with my son outside without feeling like I was going to keel over. It got me to the point that I was about to go shopping at the Big and Tall stores just to find a pair of pants that would fit my waist. And I'm not tall, people!! <br />
<br />
I swore back in November that I wouldn't be that way any more. For my wife, for my son and for myself. You know what I caught myself doing this past month? Longing for those bad habits once more. Wishing I could just have something to eat when I really wasn't even hungry, but just to eat to make myself feel better during a stressful time. Even today I caught myself staring at the vending machine at work with a dollar bill in my hand. <br />
<br />
Now of course I'm not saying that grabbing a bag of chips from the vending machine is going to make me join a 12-step group, nor am I comparing myself to someone who has a very real and serious eating disorder. But I could see a glimpse of where I could be if would give into those temptations again and not care about the consequences. I didn't like where that glimpse led.<br />
<br />
I began to struggle a bit to try and tie this particular topic into the hobby at first. I mean heck, this starts out kind of depressing in a way, right? Our hobbies are supposed to lift our spirits. But what happens when they don't do that any more? When you, or someone begins to dread painting their figures, begins to troll forums and curse the game they used to love so much, but just can't stop playing it? <br />

<b>Well, When You're in it for the Long Haul...</b><br />
…you realize what's causing you harm, and you remove yourself from that. If it's the temptation to eat crap at work because you've got a couple dollars on you, you leave money at home and bring healthy snacks that are portioned properly instead. If it's the temptation to keep playing a game that you used to love, but now feel some kind of obligation to play just because you always have, and you're no longer enjoying it? That's right, you stop playing the game or at least find a new game to give yourself a break for a while.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When You're in it for the Long Haul…</b><br />
…you make a positive change and you stick with it, realizing that it's not just a band-aid, but a true lifestyle change that is mean to last. If you're that means that you have to cut certain foods out, replace them with something that you'll still enjoy but is healthier for you. If that means that you own hundreds of dollars of product for a game system that is literally just collecting dust for years, causing a sort of depressing thought whenever you see it, you get rid of what you aren't going to use and maybe hold off buying anything new until you do something with what you have left. Sure there will be temptations to revert back to old comforts, but there needs to be the realization of what could happen should you give in.<br />
<br />
<b>When You're in it for the Long Haul…</b><br />
…you surround yourself with friends and family who will support you and not tempt you down a road you don't want to go. If that with food, then those friends and family understand when you don't need fast food, and suggest healthier restaurants instead. If that's with our hobbies, then it's with friends who don't try and pressure you to play a game that is causing you stress rather than enjoyment.<br />
<br />
I really could go on, but I think you get the picture. I may have struggled to tie this into our hobbies at first, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that we can have the same addictive personalities towards our hobbies as we can with anything in our lives. <br />
<br />
So where does this leave us this month? Well, I am blessed to be able to say that I have some of the best friends and family in the world. None of them in these past 8 months have ever tried to tempt me to not stick to my new way of living. Nor would they. In fact, it's the exact opposite!<br />
<br />
Even today, one of the salespeople at my work walked up to me out of the blue and told me that he can really see a difference in my weight and health, and they I can hit my goal and crush it. That he knows I can because I would have given up by now if I wasn't going to. That completely random act of support truly helped strengthen my resolve, even if it's just for the day, the week or the month, it helped me to realize that the change I'm making isn't in vain, and it so completely worth it.<br />
<br />
I suppose I should update you on my weight as well, eh? I did indeed weigh in last night. 240.0 pounds. I lost .4 pounds. Even with the struggle that this past month was, I still lost weight. Might not be much, but it's something.<br />
<br />
It's worth being in it for the long haul.<br />
