Happy Fourth of July!!

Have a great Fourth of July!

On Vacation....

They're Back!!!!

6th edition is around the corner and I'm very excited! So many new changes but one of the most anticipated for me is the allies are returning. Finally my Redemptionists will be playable again! I will take them as IG and run them as conscripts or blob squads. My 60 redemptionists haven't seen the table since we lost them after Chapter Approved rules were replaced by witch hunters.

I'm happy now.....

Bugeater Army shots and other Pictures!

Today I have some shots of a few of the fantastic armies I got to see at this year's Bugeater GT. Also is a bunch of shots from my game 1 with Alex Ferrell. I played him last year, and got to play him again this year. It was a great game and he is a great person to play.

Bugeater GT 2012 Terrain shots!

Not much of an article today. I just thought I would post up pictures of Terrain from the Bugeater. Overall the terrain was awesome. There were tables that were too packed and some that were too sparse. But overall they were very good.  Terrain grade this year is a solid A-. Still room to improve but really no serious complaints.

The Bugeater GT 2012 Report

The Bugeater has come and gone. I have finally recovered from an awesome weekend of 40k and friends! So it is finally time to put something to paper. This is the second time typing this up. Thanks to Blogger, the first draft is lost in the warp!

Home From The Bugeater GT!!!

I about crapped my pants when they called my name for this award! I really had no clue I was even in the running. I went 3-3 for the weekend, with 3 really bad beats. Thank you to all my opponents, and still, I'm blown away by this honor!

Thank you Tim for running another great GT. Thank you to all that helped him. Looks like they raised over $4000 for their debate team too! Thank you to Norm from the Game Shoppe for the prize support, and all the others like Universal Bits and Games, KR Multicase, Bitzbox.co.uk, and Black Library! (also any others that I can not remember)

So much more to post, but I'm beat from this weekend and need to sleep...

Let the Games Begin!!

We are down to the last minute packing before the guys get here and we leave. Off to Omaha we be going for the 2nd Annual Bugeater GT! The army is tucked away in it's new KR Multicase, a sponsor of the BGT. The thing is simply awesome and I'm definately sold on the system.

I'm also bringing down some odds and ends models to sell on friday. They are haveing a "bits" trade and sell day tonight. I hope to unload my Kador Juggies, my Menoth, some daemons, and odds and ends.I'm hoping to pick up a couple of those new fliers too! My 11th company t-shirt also came in the mail, so hopefully it brings me luck on Saturday. Just need to get an Independent Characters one!

Looks like the Railhead Rumble is also this weekend, so good luck to anyone going to either of these two awesome events! And say hi if you are at the Bugeater.

OMG rumour for 6th!

Close combat looks to be changing in 6th edition! Looks like the rise of the terminator and plasma pistols will go on sale! This rumour paired with the rumour of you getting all your saves is interesting. TH/SS terminators with a 2+/3++ will be tough to kill if pw are ap 3. Heck even regular termies will be bad ass with a 2+/5++.

The Bugeater is coming!

The Bugeater GT is this weekend. Preperations are almost all done. All that is left to do is enjoy the ride! See you there, and if you are not going, you can check out pictures and interviews here starting Monday!

Catching up......

Ok, I have been away from my blog for too long. Alot has happened this week from a massive wind storm that took out 20+ trees in our town, including one in my front yard,  to playing some Dust and 40k. Fliers are coming out next week, and 6th is around the bend! Not to mention I still have a dreadnought and 4 scouts to paint for the Bugeater GT! Well let's tackle some of these topics and get my thoughts out there on them....

New Arrivals!

Thank you Amazon.com! Now I have some new books to work on.

Battle of the Fang- Space Wolves vs Thousandsons

Fall of Damnos- Ultramarines vs Necrons

Purging of Kadillus- Dark Angels vs Orks

I'm expecting to want to build these armies after reading these...lol

BOGO! WIP Wednesday and Dust Warfare thoughts!

Ok, I have been neglecting my blog a bit lately. On a good note, I have not been neglecting my hobby. I have been playing alot of games recently. So on to this BOGO of articles!

Bugeater Practice

Looks like I will get some practice games in today. I'm hoping to try a modified list. I'm thinking of running Lysander and Vulcan in my 1850.
