Game over man its game over.

I lied it wasn't monday night as I was really sick it was Wednesday night that my last campaign game of this Fantasy Battle campaign. It was the kind of game that you have an army list and go right this is how it is supposed to work...

The evils of Facebook compared to the evils of Ebay

And they are not really evil... unless you considered how your wallet feels after a... um... proactive session of shinies acquisition.

Its clobbering time.... but this time it wasnt me...

So this post is going to have several things about hobby, games and the fantasy battle campaign. It's going to be a little all over the place bare with me and follow me below the cut line.

Have fun storming the castle...

So hobby has been slow since last report. Very slow non existant other than my required games for the campaign which was fairly epic....As I had to do 3 games because I challenged and was challenged in return and subbed for a team mate. If you were wondering about the he reason for the title...

Dice gods

So I have played a few games since my last post and things have been looking up. I've found my hobby gear at last its been at least two months since it disappeared. Hoorah!

Quick time

It's been a while, things have happened...

Weekend madness

So last weekend we changed gears and went back to WFB after 8 months solid 40K... ooh that hurt...
Friday saw me playing Ramskull my High Elves his brand new Daemons, it wasnt pretty and then I watched on Sunday Ramskull playing in our current (brand new first month) WFB campaign... Again wasn't pretty but in a different way and I managed to finish my Imperial Guard Storm Troopers, all in all a good hobby weekend... and so onto the nitty gritty...

To go with army A or army B...

Well it's been awhile... I thought I would catch you up on what I was doing, mainly 40k putting together my Auztrailians, yes spelt that way so not to get confused with anyone else or any other writing that I may or may not be doing for miniature companies... Along with an announcement of the latest WFB campaign in our local group. This time it's a smaller size with only 16 players. But first my beloved ANZACs...

Snappy Glue Smear Part 2

As promised what do I think of 2013?

Snappy Glue Smear Part 1

How does snappy glue smear? I don't know I was hoping you'd tell me :) Any-ways there are 3 days left till preorder for my beloved Dark Angels, I cant help but notice that there is a limited edition DA codex which will be 90$US which means it will be more likely 180 Australian. But what do I think of 2012 just gone and what do I think of 2013? will be in Snappy Glue Smear part 2

Fiddly bits and then some

I like fiddling... with minatures. Right now I am in the process of converting some models to be Dark Angel Veterans...

Mission Randomness or winning and killing arent the same thing

Appologies my health is not so shiny at the moment and so Ive not been updating this too much. I think its taken me a week to punch this out.

This post covers both Fantasy and 40K and the vagueries of the random missions. I'd like to point out I don't do competitions so I have no idea about how tournaments work out, this is just for friendly games. In short its about covering you bases...

Liar Liar Pants on fire....

So there was this 40K tournament in Florida, Beaky-con and some guy was caught cheating using loaded dice on the first roll that mattered (deployment) The story can be found...

I suggest a new strategy R2... let the Wookie win

Ok So I may have seen Star wars (4, 5 and 6) a few time... hence all the quotes as titles.

Anyway this stories is about a ten year old boy who loves Warhammer Fantasy Battle and the same one that Ive been playing at warhammer and drawing against. His mother coughed up in the orgy of spending, a new Dark Vengeance Box set for her boy. I went around to their house and and dropped off their phat loot. He's never played before...

Reinforcements arring Sir! part 2

I've been a bit slack... ok a lot slack about updating this thing, However as promised I will get into the nitty gritty of my phat loot... and why you should never pay Australian retail unless you really want it right fething now, aka impulse buy luckily for GW I have those alot.

Fly casual but not too casual

So I said I would write something about the campaigns.

Fantasy Battle Campaign postscript

So my gaming group had a second Warhammer fantasy battle campaign based on Mighty Empires.

The differences between warhammer fantasy battle fourth and eighth ed. (old post) Dec 2011

The last article was about getting back onto the painting wagon this one is about the differences between Gaming in Fourth ed WFB and Eighth Ed. Apparently there were radical changes between 7th and 8th ed. but I didn’t play any of the intervening editions so I can’t comment on the intervening rule sets.

Getting back on to the painting wagon (old post) Dec 2011

Disclaimer Now heading into the second campaign there are more than a few of us getting back on the wagon and even second generation kids who are getting into this for the first time, so anything I write in this article is based on personal experience and may not be right for you. Some of this stuff may be blatantly obvious to some, which is fine I don’t mind this isn’t aimed at you. The campaign(s) that inspired this burst of painting and articles is using the Warhammer Fantasy Battle 8th Ed and Mighty Empires, both GW products. Also I’m going to mention Games Workshop (GW) and their products predominately, not because they are better or anything, it’s just what I have and used. There are many different ranges of paints and brushes or even models you can use in your wargaming. I also talk about non GW products as cheaper alternatives again not because they are better but its what I used because I can not afford everything I want.

“You want me to what?” I asked incredulously. Prince Bel-Tarion looked at me pitilessly.

“It is simple; I want you to take the tower. No more, no less.”
