Ads: Yes, I’ve Done it Again

Posted on November 8, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Project WonderfulLove them or hate them most of us bloggers who are paying for our blog, be it web hosting or some other financial investment regarding our site, at some point consider putting ads on our site. This is no less than the third time I’ve given this a shot. The first time only a few of you knew about the blog and so it never panned out. The second time was relatively recently and it honestly didn’t work out too badly but I was, I guess, morally annoyed by putting ads up. This time, we’ll see I guess. The big difference this time is I’m not using Google Adsense, I’m trying out Project Wonderful. I plan to do a review of the service in time as it promises to be a much better platform for a niche blog about 40K.  Read more... (321 words, 1 image, estimated 1:17 mins reading time)

Blogging Tips: A Faster Loading Site (Part 1)

Posted on November 4, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

The other day I was messing around with my blog and decided to see how large of a footprint it was. What I mean by that is every site has a footprint, which is to say how large the site is in terms of kilobytes or megabytes. All the images on your site, the text, etc, all adds up and is then delivered to the people visiting your site. Obviously the more text you have and the more images you have the larger your site is. There are other factors we’ll get into later.  Read more... (956 words, 2 images, estimated 3:49 mins reading time)

Quick Report: More Standoff Practice

Posted on November 3, 2011 08:44 am by Thor

After another night of working on terrain as we prepare for The Standish Standoff, I got in a practice game for the event. Last week I also got in a practice game but I decided to completely overhaul my list. My previous list was more assault oriented, utilizing Fate Lord Monthu (aka: Shrike), and the list I brought last night was a much more balanced list. As with last week I’m not giving out my list. I’d hate for all the players at my FLGS to decide to build lists to counter mine ;)  Read more... (539 words, 1 image, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)

Quick Report: Standoff Practice

Posted on October 28, 2011 09:13 am by Thor

My FLGS is hosting a large 30-person tournament on Nov. 12th called The Standish Standoff. In short it’s a more hobby oriented tournament where our monthly ones are not. As such, I’m working out some lists for my Space Marines that capitalize on what I have painted to avoid the last-minute rush of needing to get things done. Tournaments are a motivator for painting but at the same time I don’t want to do rush jobs on my army either.  Read more... (416 words, 1 image, estimated 1:40 mins reading time)

Battle Report: FLGS October Tournament

Posted on October 24, 2011 09:17 am by Thor

This month my FLGS ran a 2K tournament. Normally in our tournaments we put all the entry fees into the prize pool but this month it was a benefit for a store regular who was diagnosed with cancer. Originally it was to be 75% to the benefit and 25% to the players but GW decided to do prize support for us allowing us to give 100% to this gentleman, which is awesome. The downside is that it would seem a fair amount of people didn’t want to bother thinking the prize pool was insubstantial and we had one of our worst showings ever. It’s sad really. I guess some people care more about the prize support than they do playing some games for fun and benefiting a man with a life threatening illness.  Read more...

Lessons Learned: Don’t Be Stupid

Posted on October 21, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

Played a game on Wednesday against a Daemon player I routinely face. He’s been trying to deal with Marines using null zone to learn to overcome it and he did just that. He went into the game very aggressively. We had spearhead deployment and he had first turn. I set up my parking lot of vehicles and he dropped most everything in my face. The aggressive deployment is not typical of this player. Usually he goes more mid-field which gives me a few turns to soften things up before I send in my assault units. Putting it all in my face was a smart move on his part, especially with spearhead deployment as it left me little room to disengage.  Read more...
