Hey guys, Huron here.  Wow it has been a while.  So things have been kind of rough in the unemployed world of me.  Almost moved to NJ for job (I didn't get it, but I was apartment hunting and making plans when they told me they decided not to hire me, BAH!).  Well anyways I have been busy running a Warmachine League and Painting contest at my local shop, Huzzah Hobbies.  Both will be ending Tuesday April 17th.  I am also in the process of throwing a bit of money together to try and attend Adepticon.  I have a friend going who has asked me to go with him.  More on that is I end up being able to go.



Though I still have been putting miniature to table the last few months have spawned a old/new hobby for me.  I have always been a computer gamer, since my parents got our first 86 bit computer back in the early 80s.  Oregon Trail, Ancient Art of War, and many other titles nurtured my love for video games.  Well recently I was introduced to Eve Online.

For the last several months I have been blasting through space in my own personal gunship; fighting pirates, making profits, and getting killed only to have my consciousness transferred to a new clone so I can do it all again.  While I have flown many different ships and currently use a variety of them with all different purposes, my primary ship of late has been the Drake (pictured below).


The Drake is a Battlecruiser (ship design between a battleship and a cruiser) and is of Caldari (one of the 4 Empires in Eve) make.  The drake is an interesting mix of long range missile barrages and heavily tanked fighter (from other MMOs).  I guess it is important to mention here that I have never been much of an MMO player preferring RTS and FPS games over the standard RPG style of most MMOs.  However EVE has grabbed me by the horns and hooked me hard.  Its got action, adventures, space pirates and plunder (I'm the one doing the plundering), and all manner of different things to get my attention. If any of the multitude of readers here suffer from the addiction known as EVE as well, you can hit me up in game @ Huron Tekitsu (Main) or Noble Huron (Alt).  While my primary character flies the drake, my Alt is current working toward the big ship pictured in the first Pic on the top of the page.  It is called an Orca and is 1 Part mobile strip miner, 1 part oil taker, 1 part 747, and all one awesome capital ship.  The reason I chose that picture however is because of the little ship next to it, called a Retriever.  The Retrieve is a neat little mining barge and is the first stop on the road to be able to pilot an Orca.  I just reached a training point where I can fly a Retriever, seems I have a lot longer to go, huh?

Well I hope everyone is well and I promise I will have some pics of painted minis for you soon.  With a deadline looming and 50pts of Warmachine to finish I should be finishing large swaths of minis here over the next few weeks.

More as I have it.
