Guest Blog #8: Introducing Farseer Ethanaal + Turkey

12/1/2014

Comments

 
Considering the time of the year and our most recent holiday, I offer up to you a cornucopia of subjects.  Think of this post as a plate with a full serving of mental "turkey, mash potatoes, asparagus, and pumpkin pie".

It would be to your benefit to also imagine it prior to ingestion.
Picture
The alternative would be...even more mixed up? Let's just not go there, agreed?

First off, as part of our Thanksgiving tradition, I do all the cooking. I rather like this task and find it both relaxing and entertaining...except the last bit where I am attempting to get everything on the table (table set? check!) in its finished state so that when everyone sits down, the food is warm.

So the day started getting this ready to stick in the oven.
Picture
In case you are wondering, that is two four pound turkey breasts, rubbed with olive oil, cinnamon, and black pepper. Surrounding it are diced apples, pears, celery, onions, grapes, and cranberries. I like a fruity flavor in my turkey and these birds soak up all those juices and come out amazing. Highly recommended.

If you're hoping for a post-baking pic, apologies, there's just too much going on in the last 15 minutes before sit down for me to make that happen. At the time, I just didn't think I'd be writing about...well, turkeys.

Oh well, such are the fickle  and capricious skeins of Fate and Tryptophan overloads, but mostly Tryptophan overloads.

Next up, painting.
With all the other things going on, painting time was reduced this week. The upside is that the weather was extremely pleasant for this time of year so I was able to primer and base coat Ethanaal and Karandas.

Initially I was going to jam through both of them, but realized that you guys/gals will be back next week anyway (fingers crossed), so I focused on Karandas, with Ethanaal to come later. So only a WIP for Mr. E. 

He has a lot of detail on him and I figured since I'm only going to do him once, that I might as well give him a good shot.

Also, he won't be needed until January, so I'll take a little more time with him.
Speaking of January, the sworn enemies, um...I mean the opposing forces, er...gaming buddies, have been getting our heads together on the big game, setting the narrative and what conditions we will be fighting under.

So the outline for the story so far looks something like this:

  • Working title is "Descent on Pathos IV".
  • An Imperial Explorator Task Force (code name Romulus) has conducted landings on        Pathos IV.
  • Some unknown action by these forces has triggered a catastrophic event for the landing parties, and potentially the entire task force.
  • One hastily composed, garbled astropathic communication was sent, requesting immediate and urgent help by the landing teams.
  • Nothing has been heard from the task force since.
  • The Inquisition has begun to marshal forces and requested assistance from Titan.
  • The November Warriors have also received the request for help and have already arrived in system to offer assistance.
  • Eldar raiders have been detected in proximity of Pathos IV.

Yeah, I know, not super original. Then again, it's what happens in our crazy little universe, over
and over again.

Which is probably why the Eldar are so hacked off at humans. Apparently we're like little 
children, we just get our fingers into everything and as it turns out, there are a lot of light 
sockets out there.

Still, I'll see what sort of twists I can come up with that might make it a little more interesting 
like the possibility that this will be the first of a two part linked battle, so more on that later. 
That balloon just went up recently.

In the mean time, brushes be keepin biz-zee mon!

Cheers,

Honda
