Feast of Blades

Posted on May 31, 2012 07:11 pm by Stealthy Stealth

Look like FLGS Crossroads Games is going to be a feeder event for Feast Of Blades. I am going to give this my best shot and start preparing. I am saying it right now I want to be on the top table. Read more... (155 words, 1 image, estimated 37 secs reading time)

Introspection: The Road to Redemption

Posted on May 31, 2012 09:25 am by Thor

I mentioned Sunday about a long streak of bad luck, well that streak continues this week. I faced off against Khorne Inquisitor last night and his mono-Khorne Daemons and I was tabled by turn #6. Read more... (681 words, 2 images, estimated 2:43 mins reading time)

Blood Bowl: My First Team

Posted on May 30, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

We’re slowly getting some interest in Blood Bowl at my FLGS and since I absolutely love the game I figured it was time to get a team ready for tabletop action. I decided on a Chaos team and I’m in the process of buying the figures I need. I’m snagging Warriors off of Spectre Senence and then the Beastmen from Eriochrome over at Sons of Twilight’s Bargain Bin. In a few weeks I’ll have the team in my hands. Read more...

40K 5th Edition: I Knew You Well

Posted on May 29, 2012 09:31 am by Thor

There’s no denying that 6th edition for 40K is around the corner. The rulebooks for 5th are now off the shelves and maybe in a few weeks GW will finally throw us a bone of information about what we’ll be expecting in the newest rule set and I honestly can’t wait.

Chaos Marines: Quick Tournament Report & Pondering

Posted on May 27, 2012 07:24 am by Thor

Yesterday my FLGS held an 1,850 tournament that allowed Imperial Armor. I brought along Chaos Marines using this list: http://cmdctr.net/lists/925/. The list was an experiment. I’ve never thrown down a real death star unit and wanted to give it go. I only managed a few practice games with it before the tournament, none of which went well for me. Read more...

Battle Report: 40K with Chaos and a Blood Bowl Match

Posted on May 24, 2012 09:31 am by Thor

You ever have a terrible string of games where no matter what you do things just don’t go right? That has been my last 6-weeks in a nutshell with 40K games. That’s not to say I haven’t made mistakes or deserved the losses I’ve taken, however the dice gods are crapping on me and only making matters worse. It’s honestly at a point where it’s just infuriating but what can you do other than suck it up and try to make the best of it? Read more... (703 words, 1 image, estimated 2:49 mins reading time)

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP (Update #4)

Posted on May 23, 2012 01:00 pm by Thor

I had to set aside my Daemon Prince to put together a Chaos Sorcerer, and to take a break from him. I’m trying to avoid getting burned out working on the Daemon Prince as it’s been quite a time consuming model so far. I tend to get impatient and my work sloppy if I don’t take little breaks on long projects. Read more... (148 words, 3 images, estimated 36 secs reading time)

Burned out!

Posted on May 21, 2012 10:33 am by Kamui

Hello all,

After burning myself out a bit preparing for the April Assault, I decided to take a week off painting. That week turned to two. Then I hurt my shoulder and used that as an excuse to put it off another week. Then I just got lazy. Now it’s been a month and I still haven’t done any painting. So what the hell have I been doing?

Command Center: v2.0.0 and a New Site

Posted on May 19, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

On Wednesday I released the latest version of Command Center, v2.0.0. The other big thing was a new site. Things look very much the same as before, and function the same, but Command Center now has its own blog. With it now having its own blog, I’ll no longer be posting routine updates regarding it here. I’ll still mention the more notable updates but the day-to-day stuff regarding Command Center will be posted at its blog. Read more... (104 words, 1 image, estimated 25 secs reading time)

Citadel Paints: Derek the Dark Angel, Birth of a Splodgy Legend…

Posted on May 18, 2012 07:00 am by Grumhelden

Ok, Derek lives, in total he has lived for 16 days now, but in a massive fit of warp shenanigans my camera died at the very first picture of the poor hero, so I resorted to the phone camera, you should be able to see what’s what though. What I did was paint one of the Dark Angels as if I had never painted before, and I was 12 and not 30+… Read more... (1294 words, 5 images, estimated 5:11 mins reading time)

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #3

Posted on May 16, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

A quick update on my Daemon Prince. At this stage I’m working on the skin and I have most of the skin close to completion. I haven’t touched the white/blue skin yet for the wings, that’s next, but I’ve hit the rest of the skin. The final touch on the skin will be some extreme highlights where appropriate. Read more...

Battle Report: 1,750 Team Tournament

Posted on May 15, 2012 08:14 am by Lukas

Saturday a friend and I went to a team tournament, it was 1750 points per player. Yes, you read that right. Per player, meaning 3500 point teams, 3500 vs 3500. The games were long, but really bad-ass and fun. It was overall a really enjoyable day and I’m glad we went. Read more... (1372 words, 1 image, estimated 5:29 mins reading time)
