Gaming Stores: Some of the Horror Stories are True

Posted on May 12, 2013 08:54 am by Thor

headacheI’ve said this previously a few times on this blog but for the sake of the article I’ll quickly re-cap. When I got into 40K I did like most and frequented forums to absorb as much information about the game as I could. Something I commonly saw were players complaining about their local gaming stores and how terrible they were in regards to the player-base for assorted reasons. All that complaining I was reading kept me away from any LGS in my area since I figured that the wise words of the internet held true for any location. Long story short, I started going to a shop in the area and everyone was really cool so I’ve been going every week for the past 4-years or so.  Read more...

Gaming & Hobby Stagnation

Posted on May 2, 2013 06:30 am by Thor

DepressedMan, I’ve been in a funk lately with the hobby and gaming. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. I’ve been going strong with 40K for 7-years now and for some reason or another I’ve just been very “meh” about stuff. It’s not disinterest in the game, I’m still playing weekly and enjoying it, but I think it’s just a culmination of a few things.  Read more... (488 words, 1 image, estimated 1:57 mins reading time)

Painted Sisters of Battle squad

Posted on May 1, 2013 05:41 am by Kamui

This gallery contains 0 photos.

Hello all,

I’ve been slowly cleaning out my basement lately and I recently dug out my Sisters of Battle.  I started the army in 2nd edition to be allies for my Space Wolves.  They gave me some extra bolters that weren’t as tough as the marines but were cheaper and could shoot just as well.  They also gave me the option to bring Inquisitors and Assassins.  With their current “codex” they don’t really add much to the Space Wolves and I’ve decided that it’s probably time to sell them.  Before I do I wanted to get some pictures of the few I’ve painted.April 29 2013 005  Read more...

This gallery contains 17 photos.

Hello all,

Although I was fairly productive last week I haven’t made a lot of progress on the tanks.  I took some time one evening to try out a lasgrot conversion that was stuck in my mind.  I took another evening to clean up some Sisters of Battle, which I’ll feature in a post later this week.  I did manage to spend some time on the second Basilisk for the Rebel Grots.  Read more...

Rebel Grot quick conversion

Posted on April 24, 2013 06:53 am by Kamui

Hello all,

Since there are very few actual Rebel Grot models I need to do a lot of conversions to build a full army.  I try to keep most of these simple so that I’ll actually be able to get them all done.  So far I’ve used 2nd ed gretchin with small green-stuff mods, and I’ve used fantasy grots with 40k equipment.  I’ve also used some of Necromunda starter box models as a source of weapons.   Read more...

Tanks for the Rebel Grots!

Posted on April 22, 2013 07:13 am by Kamui

Hello all,

I managed a bit of progress on the tanks for my Rebel Grots.  They are coming together nicely and I’m quite happy with them so far.  I made it down to the shop for a test game with my 1500pt Rebel Grot list, and I also made it to the monthly tournament with my Orks/allied grots.  Overall a busy week from the gaming perspective.  Let’s start with the tanks:  Read more...

Fratris Salutem 2013: Date Changed to June 1st

Posted on April 18, 2013 01:49 pm by Thor

Fratris Salutem 2013To help spread the word quicker, the date for Fratris Salutem had to be moved to June 1st because of a conflict. Naturally, for Magic States they decided May 18th was a wonderful date for their event and this was only told to those who work at Crossroad Games, the event host, a few weeks ago. It’s no fault of XRG and they have offered refunds for those who can’t make June 1st and also lowered the entry fee for those buying tickets going forward.  Read more...

Rebel Grots Infantry Yellow 2 complete…and tanks!

Posted on April 15, 2013 09:10 am by Kamui
This entry is part 14 of 14 in the series Rebel Grot Infantry Yellow Platoon

Hello all,

I’ve decided to try and get the Rebel Grots ready for the Fratris Salutem, a hobby event here in Maine scheduled for May.  Allies are not allowed so the only way for me to field these guys is to knock out a full 1500 point army of them.  It’s going to be a push but I’ve got my orks as a back up so the price of failure is naught but pride.  I’ve buckled down over the last week and made some pretty good progress.  The second infantry squad is complete and I’ve started on some tanks.  Read more...
