Still recovering from a lingering chest bug. Nothing terrible, but it was bad enough to go to the doctor and get some antibiotics...

Had a fun day at the game store, which ran a Warhammer 40K tournament today. Lost to a clever last-round ploy by a gorgeously-painted Space Marine army (his Salamander's Land Raider was also a canvas for a mural of lizard scales, and most of his guys were fitted with custom dragon-themed parts he sculpted himself.) Tied against a kid with a nice ork army in a mutual slaughter of near-epic proportions. Third round was against the kid's dad, whose Eldar eked out a win by one kill point, though there were a couple rules questions that we resolved the wrong way (massively in the dad's favor) and it probably should have gone the other way; on the other hand, 15% of my army exploded and died before he even got a turn, and when there's that much self-inflicted damage, why carp about imagined slights? Antonio (the ork kid) won the door prize too, and he was quite a considerate player, so well done for him.

I had a great deal of fun, even if waking up early and standing up all day is enough to leave me sore. I'm getting old...

Done painting the unit of ork shootas, and on to a few nobs. Pics later, along with some talk about the anime I've been watching.
