Adepticon 2013 38 days and counting

   So, it is getting close to that time of the year. I am not sure what I plan on taking with me. There is a chance for a Nurgle vs Space puppies grudge match, with a old friend of mine {Dave the Destroyer}. But, I have made a good blood angle jump army. If he goes it will be his first year. So, I am inclined to take an army he would like to play against.
  I am not sure if psychosquire is coming with yet. He pops up close to the con and gives little notice. He is sneaky like that. He most likely will bring a eldar/dark eldar list. I have play against it and got destroyed by it. I played nurgle and his Harley/HQ unit is a beast.
  Perv goat may also show up, if his work schedule clears up. This would be his first time also. We may get a few Malifaux games in I hope to get a few more models painted by then. If I am lucky, I hope to get another 40k game against him. We have played a game last month and he beat me but it was very tight. We played at the Battle Bunker and everyone was commenting on his old minis (2nd edition). It was great to see all the players giving their respect.
  I wish my buddy Ozzy could go for at least a day. He is a big Warmahoard player. I think he would get a kick out of it. But he has a hard work schedule.
  Well, I guess we will see who goes as we get closer.

40k Rule Book 6th ed in my hands

 I picked up the tomb it is big. I did not get to read to much today but, Snapshot and overwatch rocks. I will post more later.

Adepticon 2012 38 Days away (Please Hurry)

    So, my plan was to complete an army just for open games at Adepticon. Well, I did it 1505pt. Blood Angel  Jump pack heavy army. I played it at Chicago Battle bunker against a daemon army. I didn't win but it was close. I would like to adjust it a little. I used Dante and the Sanguinator I think it is alittle much.
   So, the Swag Bag news looks good. Blue Table Painting is putting up templates. The first 500 people to go through registration get a battle foam bag. Last year I got a starter box of Warmachine that paid for the ticket, not to mention the novels and t-shirts that came in the bag.
  I am also looking forward to the bits sales and the nightly swap-o-rama deals galore. Yes, Forgeworld will be there. I wonder what the con limited edition model will be. I will try to post about the Con as much as possible. I plan on buying alot of cool stuff. Let me know what you want me to post about.

Death Company Comeith

    My first 40k army was a Blood Angel army. I played it for years, but I have left it on the shelf for at least 10 years. Partly because the fiend started playing them and I didn't want to spam the other players, as it was and is a small group. It gets boring rotating through the same old fluff.  I personally have 7+ armies for that reason.
  But, I feel I should give love back to the first men I ever fielded as I have been heavy on imperial fliers and tanks. Please don't get me started on my nurgle army (Forgeworld , etc.) they were a hugh distractor. Khorne fell somewhere in there too. I need to focus.
  So I got to thinking and got on v-day from the girlfriend a new dreadnought and a stormraven (still in the box, ugh) I also got a  death company box set from the fiend as b-day gift. I picked up 2 boxes of sanguinary guard ( one squad is 90% done). I also got Seth( I think he will rock cheap and tough),  Sanguinator ( think he will be point sink but apoc games hum), and Dante ( sang guard as troops hence the 2 units). This should update the army well.
  I plan on adding a few Death company to the 5 metal ones, a thunder hammer and few others to bump up the squad to eight and of course my old terminator chaplain( might need to update the model but it is the first hq I bought). The dread is going blood talons as I have one with two blood fists.
  But again as  nerdy as I am, I am going to Adepticon  and Forgeworld is going to be there and (ha) I worked alot of  overtime I might buy a blight drone or some other new hotness.
   Sometimes I think drugs would be cheaper, but I remember the glue stuck to my fingers it gives me enough of a head ach, not to mention the fumes when using excelorator.

He who is without a name

 I have had a Titan for awhile.  I enjoyed painting the Titan and asembly was easy as it is a Armourcast verision. I have not yet to name him as he has not earned a name in battle. It is not that he dosen't fight well, it is that he has not had a worthy opponent.  This is by no fault of my opponents it is because the Titan is hard to handle and my group of friends do not have many larger models.

-

  So I have held using him unless the group shows no concern as to having to face him. I admit I would have concerns to face him myself. But I have faced many in battle and won and lost with pride. But a titan without a name is like a gladiator with out an arena. Looks good to have but is worthless in reality. He needs to show worth or be cast down to the halls of Evil-bay.
