XCOM 2 Livestream Dates and Times for this weekend (plus pics of hobby work) · 10:58pm Aug 2nd, 2018
Evening folks!
First things first, a bit of news regarding this weekend's streaming. Due to a doctor's appointment tomorrow night, I'll be getting started a little bit later than usual. That means Tomorrow, 08/03/2018 the stream is going to start at 7:00PM CST and will likely go until around 10-ish. Come join me when you can!
Now, on Saturday, I intend to try something different. Since I know there are some folks with really crazy time zone and work schedules, I'd like to try streaming from 9:00AM until 12:00PM on Saturday Aug 4th. It's my hope that by doing so in the morning I'll be able to give an opportunity for folks to visit if they aren't able to during night hours. I'll also bring this up during the Friday stream and see how folks feel.
And lastly, pics of my project for the week: My Adeptus Astartes Killteam, built and painted over the week. I'll be paying my local Warhammer store a visit on Saturday after I finish streaming in the morning, where I imagine they'll probably be murdered mercilessly by prancing elf clowns and the cheerfully rotting messengers of Nurgle. Wish me luck!
I’ll try, but I’ll probably be working.
Now if you stream on my birthday of Aug. 10 next Friday, I definitely can watch that as I will be on a paid vacation starting that day until the 18th!
An Astartes Kill Team, huh? What chapter, if you don't mind me asking?
what ruleset as well?
Good luck with your kill team. Would it be possible to get some battle reports from your games?

It's a homebrew chapter, because I can't just take an out of the box founding chapter. Oh no, I have to create my own fluff.

It's the new Killteam ruleset. 4-10 ish models, small play area, and most likely cramped close quarters. While there are kits for terrain and stuff, some creative people have come up with interesting alternatives using models from the larger tabletop game. For instance, this reddit user arranged some of his Imperial Guard vehicles to make it look like a tank park. Tell me that doesn't look like the tank base map from EU, just a little?

I suppose I could write some things up, though to be honest it really depends on the results. Considering Cegorach's clown posse and Nurgle's snot marines are considered top tier while my Astartes are considered bottom of the second tier (being good at a lot of things but not the best at anything), I might shift my building efforts to Imperial Guard. They can bring a LOT of dakka to a fight, and with enough
tactical ablative armorbrave and valiant rookies who valiantly intercept charges, your more effective Scions and Plasma Guardsmen can melt the enemy.4913758
Ah the tank part, I see it's missing the wall of 'I hope you brought a way to breach me unless you want to have only two points of cover from the aliens on the exact opposite side' it's one of the little things like that which always make me have a hard time deciding if X-com:EU or X-com 2 is better overall.
