5500 copies of Flames of Infinity

I finally got my first game of Flames of war in and we have started up Infinity again, not to mention I have been hobbying again....

I did hobby and it was GOOD...

Finally got some hobby in.... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh oh boy did that feel good.

I have a squad finally with three colours on it hurrah, my birthday came and went. Not without acquiring more stuff bucking the current trend Atttack bikes for my ravenwing and rhinos for my tacticals. Parental units gave me some money which went on a case and that helps with my lack of carrying capacity. Im figuring I need another one and bucket loads of foam from KR Multicase. Of which I ordered another 400 slots and pick and pluck this should go a long way to sort out the over flow of Imperial Guard, High Elves, Dark Angels and Blood Angels at least in the infantry. At this point I think Im going to have to have a suitcase full of pick and pluck for my vehicles. Today is my day off from the universe. Domestic stuff today if Im lucky some hobby too.

Review Dark Angels Codex 6th Edition

Um wow... is the short version... no actually I can go shorter... Woot :)

It's here it's pretty, in hard back and mine.... Mwahahahahahaha...

And from what Ive seen pretty darn awesomesauce. Maybe because Im a long time (rogue trader era) Dark Angels player I appreciate what Jeremy Vetock did with this codex.

Snappy Glue Smear Part 2

As promised what do I think of 2013?

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...

Off with their heads or putting you heads together.... litterally

Australian Sci Fi wargaming models is perhaps not a term you hear often. But I'm getting involved in a Only war Campaign which is the Imperial Guard version of Deathwatch, Rogue Trader, and so on and the group decided to do an ANZAC regiment with the feel and the style of circa 1915-18..

Finishing jigsaw puzzles

Or another way of saying Im sick of Dark Vengeance. I've just completed putting together 3 sets of dark angels from the DV Boxset. Yay I have more ravenwing and more death wing hmmm more tactical marines, what they hell am I going to do with more Librarians and more captains??? Im not going to put up pics surely by now you've seen the DV models through myriad

But suddenly I have an idea...

Reinforcements arriving Sir!

After the last post Faeit212 posted the latest round of DA rumours... I'm excited... realy excited

So Dark Vengeance came out, duh. As a long time Dark Angel player I was like woohoo...

Not so Woohoo at the price of AU$ 180 about 80 pounds or US$200 and of course there is the kerfuffle about the Limited Edition Chaplain... Well of course I wanted one... I did do investigations and for an extra ten Aus I could buy a limited edition for 164 from my local non GW store called Tactics instead of waiting a week and saving 10 guess which won...

But what about the people who...

Some weeks are just fail

Things tm have not been going according to plan such as wallet theft and what not... I hate what not...

Hopefully this will not continue with my next campaign fight this time vs the Tau.

Fly casual but not too casual

So I said I would write something about the campaigns.

On the eve of war....

So two ancient Codexes going to go hammer and tongs, on Saturday morning. I've never tried pure(ish) the Black (ravenwing) they've always come a distant third to Bone (deathwing) and Green (Tactical and so on) mainly I didn't have the figures and to be fair Ive never seen the need.

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.
