What should I do?

The local guys are throwing a semi big one day fluff tournament. Painting scores and fluff are big. So I will be bringing my Mek Ork list. This has the best paint and the most conversion work out of any of my armies. I will put some photos up in the next week. This is the list.

Weekly Wrap-up: A Day Late

I would have gotten this up yesterday but on Thursday night I began constantly sneezing. A few hours later my nose was running like a faucet and breathing was a chore. I had taken Friday off because my wife and I were going on an overnight trip but we had to cancel that on account of my sinuses. A visit to the doctor and a few days of medication has a least put me back to operable. The fall in Maine is brutal.

Gaming: Breaking the Mold

I play a lot of 40K and Blood Bowl and one thing is synonymous in both games, I like in your face bashy stuff. In 40K my favorite aspect of the game is close combat and in Blood Bowl it’s a good old slugfest. Something about smashing heads appeals to some primal need I have regardless of what game I’m playing. One thing I’ve learned though is to not pigeon-hole yourself into one area of a game or even a single style of gaming.

Hobby: Chaos Update

Sadly no images but this past weekend I made some great progress on my Chaos army. I finally finished fixing all the models. The previous owner had parts glued to the wrong units, IE: Berzerker shoulders and arms on an undivided Marine. All the right parts are now on the right models and all mold lines are cleaned up. Most everything that needs to be magnetized now is, just a few arms left to do.

Introspection: You Didn’t Try

Those were the words I heard the other day as I playing a game of Blood Bowl against someone. The fact it was Blood Bowl is irrelevant, it just got me thinking. In this particular game he had scored in the 1st half and he kicked off to me. So, we went into the 2nd half with him up 1-0 and me kicking to him, not good odds for me.

Hobby: Khorne Berzerker Painted

To break up the fun of cleaning off mold lines on countless models I painted up a Berzerker. You’ll have to pardon the lack of lighting. It’s an overcast day and I didn’t feel much like setting up something to get better lighting, I’m lazy :)

Stagnant Blogging

Maybe it’s just me but it really seems like most blog articles I see these days are all covering the same topics over and over. I don’t mean to say they’re all writing about the same thing at once but instead rehashing age old arguments and discussions to try and put a new spin on it. Depending on the author it can work for some but most of the time I start reading them and just click away.
