Posted on June 30, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

A lot of blogs mark milestones. Generally it’s not something I bother doing. I’m a very quiet person who is very modest with my own accomplishments, whatever they area. However, this milestone is all about the readers of this blog. Read more... (385 words, 2 images, estimated 1:32 mins reading time)

Know when to hold em

Posted on June 29, 2011 07:00 am by Stealthy Stealth

Last Wednesday I got a 1500 point game in against Amberclad. I brought out my Grey Knights and he fielded his Dark Eldar. You may not know this but Amberclad is kind of a big deal. I will also tell you that I have beat him, more than once. However he won this game. By that I mean he beat me like a school girl and I cried. Read more...

Random: The Dark Gods Have Answered

Posted on June 28, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

This past weekend my wife and I had gone to see my in-laws. We were running around Saturday night and my wife asked to stop at Goodwill. I reluctantly agreed as I know she enjoys shopping there. I hate shopping. I’m one of those people who goes into a store to get what I want and leaves. She’s the opposite of that but she’s a big bargain shopper. The more she can save on an item the happier she is, so it could definitely be worse. Read more... (641 words, 1 image, estimated 2:34 mins reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: Two Weeks in a Row!

Posted on June 26, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

First time in a long time I put up a Wrap-up for two consecutive weeks. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot going on this week.

I put up a battle report of the LGS’ June tournament. It was a team tournament, which is always fun and myself and my partner managed to win painting awards. Our painting outperformed our game play though. There’s always the next one. Read more... (259 words, 2 images, estimated 1:02 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Introduction

Posted on June 25, 2011 07:00 am by Kamui

For a long time now I’ve been forming the vision of my marines reborn. I’ve been tweaking my fluff to match with current canon and gathering some of the models I wanted to include. It looks like I’m going to have some extra modeling time during July and August so I’ve decided to set a goal of a completely painted 2000 point army by the end of summer. For your entertainment, and for my own motivation, I’ll be posting my progress here. Read more... (309 words, 1 image, estimated 1:14 mins reading time)

Rok Da Vote: 40K 6th Edition Rumors

Posted on June 21, 2011 09:00 am by Thor

$6th Edition - Math$ By now many have seen the rumors circulating about 6th edition for 40K. If you haven’t seen them then take a look around, they’re easy enough to find. In light of the recent rumors I figured instead of jumping on the bandwagon of reporting them that I’d instead toss-up a poll to see what you thought of them.

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion

Posted on June 20, 2011 08:49 am by Thor

The team tournaments at the LGS are probably the most looked forward to events we have.

This past Saturday was no exception for turnout with 20 players in attendance. Read more... (1129 words, 1 image, estimated 4:31 mins reading time)

I’ve been seriously considering starting up a new army but haven’t nailed down what yet.
