The Army Painter Hobby Table will be at every Circle City Circuit event.

They have sent a bunch of stuff, which is shown in more detail on the CCCTV youtube channel. We teamed up with them to create the Army Painter Hobby Table and its going to be big. Anything you need to build, paint and play tabletop miniatures games will be featured on the table.
You can come test out any of the Army Painter primers, which is a great way to test that paint scheme. We also have The Army Painter- Quickshade Dip. This is awesome for the people out there that want to use a painted army, but just do not have the time or the patience to spend hours on each miniature. You can come in and prime your models, basecoat and dip all in one afternoon. We also have The Army Painter-Anti shine Matt Varnish. This works great in conjunction with Army Painter Quickshade.
The last product I want to mention is their new super glue activator. This stuff is amazing, it works every time with no mess and perfect results. Its instantly dries and hardens super glue with a very impressive bond.

Here’s the Army Painter YouTube channel if you’d like to see their tutorial videos.

So Gencon 2010 is over and I can honestly say this year’s con was a bit different that years past. For starters I wasn’t signed up for eight hours  of events per day and secondly this was my first Gencon where Warmachine was my game of choice.  This year I got my first taste of Warmachine at Gencon and I can say it was a little crazy playing in a tournament from 9pm to 5am but it was a blast. This year we saw the WoW TCG displayed by their new owner and they seem to have it together at least initially. Gencon 2010 also saw classics games with new releases including Pulp City and Malifuax.  I personally didn’t pick up any of either game but I have a list of Pulp City ready to be purchased pending a demo of the new rule changes. Which brings us to the new game dare I say the new hotness, it still to early to tell but judging by the purchases of some of the local guys it has a shot at being one of our go to games. The game in question would be MERCS.

I finally set up the Gallery on our site here. Check out the widget to the right and the link to the Gallery page up at at the top of the page. Right now, it’s just me and Dominic, but if there is anyone else out there who’d like to have their mini pics uploaded, let us know! We’ll accept pics of miniatures, in-progress games of any kind, group photos, convention photos and all kinds of other gaming-related images.

It’s been a while since I or anyone else have posted here on the main page and I don’t want anyone to think we’ve fallen off the planet, so here’s an update on what’s been going on with the group.

We’ve gotten some really cool business cards printed and are starting to be distributed for display at several local game stores. If you see them around, feel free to grab a few to pass out to your friends.

Several of us have been participating in Privateer Press’s Shattered Grounds league up at the Game Preserve – Keystone. There’s usually between 6 and 8 of us there. This Thursday is the finale for the first leg of the league. If I’m not mistaken there is a drawing for a store gift card this week.

There’s also rumor of a super-secret event being run by Circle City Gamers in the semi-near future. Stay tuned for more details!
