That really gets my goat...

     So yeah, finally got motivated and painted something up. This is one of the satyrs for Kromac's battlegroup in the current journeyman league. This is roughly 1/3rd of the reason I have an 11:4 win ratio. Really enjoying the living warbeasts for a change from constuct-ville. One goat painted up. 2 more and a bunch of tharn left to go.

5 games in...

     We started our Journeyman league this last Friday night and while I wasn't able to make it in to the shop to get some games in, I did make it in on Sunday. Over the course of the day, I got 5 games in and my win/loss is currently 3-2. Not too shabby. I'm also starting to figure out how/when to use my assets and what I should look for in my opponents force and turns to react to. Our Journeyman league rules are pretty much copied straight from the Privateer Press site, but with one great exception. Look here if you want to try and find it before the break...

What did Krampus bring?

     No rusty chains or bells here; just a ton of minis resulting in some glued together fingers. This was a very Geeky Christmas. From the Bat'Leth my wife received from my father, to the 7 board/card/dice games that were gifted, not to mention the piles of minis, a good time was had by all. The year 2011 marks the culmination of over a decade of hard work in attempting to get my little brother to start miniature wargaming as he has, in fact, picked up the Khador flag and is waving it proudly, alongside the faction book we gave him and his shiny new Karchev warcaster...

Thanks

I am thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. From my wife to my family and friends.
I am thankful for having a job and roof over my head in these somewhat uncertain economic times.
I am thankful for being a gamer, and most importantly being able to be a gamer.
-Game on...

Ahh, gaming again...

     I feel rather like The Rock with his whole "Once again, the Rock has come back to <insert city here>..." speech. I must say, it is good to be back. While I was away I took a look at my mercs and I decided that just because I like neither their theme lists nor the searforge contract in general, that shouldn't keep me from playing my Dwarves in Warmachine!
     So, I got a game in this last weekend with a buddy of mine so he could try out his shiny new Menoth from the 2 player starter. I thought my list was pretty decent and we didn't quite finish out the game due to time constraints, but it was definitely shaping up as a loss for me ...
