Jim Emerick - MWR Organizer

Greetings all!

Tom M directed me over here to check out the forums. Haven't gotten to listen to the casts yet but am downloading them tonight for a listen while painting tomorrow afternoon.

For those who don't know me...Longtime WFB player (started with 1st Edition in 85), longer time gamer in general. Grew up in the Central IL area, have lived all over the country. Just recently moved to Portland, OR for a year long work contract with my daughter (Delenn, 18 months old...future gamer).

I run the Midwest Rampage Indy in Illinois. Will be running it for the 6th year this coming May. Will post a link to the site sometime.

Currently working on some new projects while I'm here in Portland since I have lots of downtime in the evenings. Going to attempt to get 4 armies painted between now and the end of October 2011. Two will be to a high standard for tournaments (Daemons and then High Elves) and the other two are side projects just to get them to tabletop standard (Dwarfs and Dogs of War). Mainly have set the goal because the Daemons are so focus-intensive that I need a side break in between steps on the models. Will be starting a blog in the Hobby Table section for the Daemons and Dwarfs in the next few days in the hopes that posting pics will keep me motivated and cranking away.

Glad to be here, can't wait to listen to the casts tomorrow.

Jim! Awesome to see you on the Broboards! ;D
I look forward to you posting your progress on these boards. You always produce top notch armies.

I'll push the MWR on the cast of course

Brohammer marathon FTW!

Side note: Hey did you get my e-mail about the dwarves you painted for Tony?

Glad to be here!

I called and left you a message about the dwarfs. Give me a call or I can respond via email.

Im pretty sure I played you in game 1 Adepticon Championships 2009. Daemons vs Daemons.

If I recall I took down your bloodthirster. I think he charged in and fought a khorne herald, ended up not even killing the khorne herald. Even against the s7 weapon, the khorne herald still had 5 up armor and 5 up ward. This was back in 7th so he had a zero up. I miss this character. Pretty sure I eventually got the bloodthirster, not sure how exactly or if we were in a challenge. Game ended in a draw.

I remember I was eating lunch and for some reason I thought I forgot to add up the points right. Ran back to hall, got a judge we found the sheet in a pile of your belongings(the judge assured me you were friends) We found my list and it had the characters I thought I forgot to add in added into the vp total.

I went on in that tourny to play the current 3 time champ in game 3. Got beatdown, but more importantly got to play the champ and the organizer of MWR. Had a blast.
