Long time no post. Lots of things going on, here's a short update.
The Central Wisconsin Iron Gamers (we REALLY need to come up with a better name) has finally managed to run our own Who's the Boss event. We had over 130 unique warcasters and warlocks represented. We're hoping within a year or two we can push to get 100% coverage as we pick up a few new players and models ourselves. Here's some pictures of building the Doomball -- our bingo cage used to draw the bingo balls out, each bingo ball with a 'caster's name on it.

| Start with a $2.50 Walmart Bouncy Ball. Covered with layers of phonebook pages and glue to make the inner shell. Then start laying on the fiberglass fabric and resin. |

| Fully covered in fiberglass and resin. |

| Plotting out the hatch. |
 |
| Hatch cut out, hinge and closing lock added, dowels added for spinning the ball. |
 |
| Painted and Mounted on it's stand. The Doomball sadly had a cardboard hatch for it's first year as I didn't have time yet to make a proper one for it yet. |

| Cryx chicken jack sitting on top of the Doomball for scale. |
Day of the event hits, we have myself and 6 players. Between the 7 of us we pulled together (if I counted correctly) 133 unique Warcasters and Warlocks.
Pictures from the games show a few of the very random setups players had to contend with.

| I knew Elara was a Cryx warcaster |

| Go forth my zealots! Wait, I think I'm in the wrong church... |
And to close out this post, I do plan on getting some painting done soon. In prep, these are the current "to do" list, all washed and ready for mold line cleaning and assembly. 2 months to Gencon. I'm hosed.

| Can I paint all of this in a month? |
