morslaThings are finally starting to come together :)
Auspicious Beginnings is now up on the Eos website, ready for download - if you're curious about the game, games in general, or just want to see what I've been putting the last hundred-odd hours into, you can find a link to the file here - this is the Eos forum thread about the game, and will have the most up-to-date way of finding the file. The adventure ended up at 60 pages + the cover, and is about 1.7MB. I've also just finished a printer-friendly version (no page border artwork, no colour covers) which I've managed to squish down to about 800k by removing images and setting it to Acrobat 5.0+.
I'm now waiting on packages that should arrive in the mail this week - a big tube of kneadatite putty, for sculpting the detail work on the Tyranids; a Hive Tyrant model to start cutting up for conversions and a bundle of spare parts left over from other people's models.
I'll finish painting the last Syd model today, and post it off before 5pm. After that, most of my 'spare' time will be going into sculpting - fortunately, I have 76 models to sculpt over the next month or so, at a range of different scales. Nothing like mass experimentation to learn how to do something properly...
For all those who are going to Conquest and have picked up a paintbrush before, you should enter the Emily painting competition - paint up one of the convention figurines, and enter it in the competition at the con. Last year had a grand total of two entries, both by the same person...
I'm not entering this one, as Tom's dobbed me in to judge it instead. Enter away! Bring the figure to the convention, and check it in with the rego desk before Sunday night. Even if you're planning for Golgotha to completely write off the first two days of your con, you can still get the entry in on time...
