Independence day!

It's been a long, fun, and downright exhausting week (& weekend) out here. I started working construction again, had an interview with Games Workshop, played a show, and still managed to keep up with my D&D group. I'm also very inspired to start converting my Expedition to Castle Ravenloft book to 4th edition. I had been talking one day with a fellow gamer/buddy/co-worker and I really realized how much I love the classic vampire setting. It'll be a welcome relief, if it happens, from the ridiculousness of True Blood and Twilight.

Mordheim Town Square

 This is (finally) the first completed piece of Mordheim terrain. The town square is from the original Mordheim boxed set, and although it doesn't provide a lot of cover or area terrain, makes for a great centerpiece in your city streets.

Defeat at the hands of terrain!

40k is a game is drastically defined by how much terrain you use. Tournaments are renowned for having few pieces of Line of Sight blocking terrain and very few area terrain pieces. Home games can often have more pieces of terrain than you will ever see, even in stores. Personally, I like to play with a "medium" amount of terrain, but I also enjoy cluttered cityfights. These places are chock full of nooks and crannies to ensure you have tactical advantage over your opponent.

6th edition rumormill & how to break your low points 40k game

Much discussion is flying around recently about the 6th edition rumors posted on Blood of Kittens. It's important to take all of this stuff with a grain of salt, because all of it could turn out to be false. Still, numerous sources have posted all over the internet about 6th edition coming soon, and although we are not supposed to place trust in quantity, someone out there probably does know what they're talking about.

Musings on yet another Dark Eldar launch

I've been thinking a lot about the latest GW releases. Not because I'm a Dark Eldar player - although I do have a box of wyches, Lelith, and an Archon. No, I've been thinking about them because it's a rare moment in GW's generally wishy-washy release trend. Yeah, this will be one post amongst many on the blogosphere that criticizes GW's policies.

List Building: The journey to 1750 with Craftworld Eldar

Hey folks! I posted some days ago about some topics I'd like to talk about. I've spent some time browsing through many other blogs (mainly on FTW Blogroll #3) to come up with some decent subjects, the whole time forgetting one that pertains to where I'm at now. List building!

RIP Nyx, and the week without the camera...

Kurei and Nyx

 I've been slacking on the posting recently, but the painting has kept up. What has kept me? Well, Zni has been spending the weekend preparing for Free Spirit Gathering, where she will be working. As well, our bird Nyx has been acting curious for some time. That is, until today, when she passed away...
