30K here we come part 3

Getting into the last 2 days of the challenge. And I have some WIP to show and explain...

30K here we come part 2

You can read about my initial enthusiasm here 24 hours on and some brief naps in my hobby chair I haven't slept much maybe about 4 hours in total and there is some W***KER smoking nearby which I cant get out of the house which also makes me not sleep. But I have progressed...

Dark Angels 7th edition

My first response was ....

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Not a month after getting back into 40K Games Workshop has got me in cranky pants mode... Please note there are some review of products in this as well as this short rant...

Circle of life

So we are as of writing this sometime later today we will be starting the second Malifaux campaign I'll be doing ten thunders again, I still haven't decided on whether its going to be Yan Lo crew or stick with Misaki... But this is not the big news of the first post of 2016... ugh...

Tripple wing part 2

 This one is a bit different to the last one. its more flexible still built around the base of the Dark Vengeance Box Set, with more oomph.

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.

Sisters are doing it for themselves

This last weekend just gone was not a successful tabletop weekend. First I played Ramskull vs his Dark Eldar and was hammered flat and then took a completely differenct army against Damian's (my flatmate) Sisters of Battle. I was allied with Ramskull's CSM and we got kerbstomped by the end of turn 2 I suspect....

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.

Things that make you go hmmmm....

So I was typing up the ANZACs rules and began to realise that the entire write up was heavily slanted with regards to Australian flavour and none towards the New Zealanders... As William Wallace said as Mel Gibson "We shall have to remedy that."

Reinforcements arriving

Ok so I mentioned that was getting some Mordians and vehicles. I got them last week Friday from Ramskull who picked them up for me as he got some good deals on some CSM and terrain from the same bloke, arent I a good enabling friend. When I got home there was a package that was a week late from the uk...

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!

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...

I blame Commando Comics...

No really I do, I once read a Commando Comic... well a lot more than one but still that's not the point anyway this story featured a British artillery unit using the above pictured 25 Pouinder.

800 point green wing list

Somebody asked on facebook for a Dark Angels 800 point list ...

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...

Triplewing part 1

I am part of a Dark Angels community on face book and Ive been espousing the virtues of the triple wing. And so people ask me to show them what I meant so hear we go....

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.
