GW crushed my inner Necron this weekend...


     So I think I'm not alone when I say that I am disappointed that not a single shred of info on Necrons came out at Games Day last weekend.  I have been saving what little money I can in anticipation for them, but GW keeps beating me with the secrecy stick.  Stupid GW....anyways, at least a few cool things came out of the Forge World side of the world over the last week, and I am just a bit more than excited for the new edition of Apocalypse.  While I did love the last edition, it had many flaws to it that we had to house rule to death to enjoy, so I am anxious to see what they cooked up for us with this one.  They also have info on Chaos Contemptor Dreadnoughts in there, and I swear to God that if they gave it Berserk I am going to openly weep.  Also, their announcement that IA 12 will no longer involve DE but instead Chaos and IG has me at odds.  While as a Chaos player I am unbelievably happy to see this, I do think that the DE need some more love than just the little sprinkling they have got from FW so far.

Okay, here is the Titan atleast (pic heavy)


So I have the body of this beast done for the most part now.  I need some minor touch ups and some wires need painting still on the outside, but it is certainly coming along well.  Up next I will be working on the head and the cables that attach to it, then the whole top part will come next, followed finally by the three weapon arms.  The legs are going to be pinned to the base, but not glued so that I can have it displayed nicely, but also take it of the base for Apoc games.  Look below for more pictures of the inside, as well as some Deathguard Termie's I have been working on!

Okay! So it has been a lot longer than I said...


First, I want to start by stating that it seems most of my post titles are apologetic these days.  I don't know why.  Well, I do know why, but I don't wish them all to be.  I just feel a sort of remorse about not posting more.  It has been CRAZY here though.  I finally got moved in to my new place, got everything unpacked, and I am starting to get settled.  This has taken A LOT longer than anticipated due to the fact that I also started school again a few weeks ago...after an 8 year break.  And let me tell you all out there, being a 26 year old Freshman sucks.  I think of most people in my classes as children, and in most cases, I am actually closer to my professors ages than my fellow students.  Weird.

I WON A HEROES OF ARMAGEDDON ARMY!!!!!!!!


So as the title says, I somehow had Gork & Mork shining down on me, because I won this AMAZING army from the Heroes of Armageddon project!  I was so happy I started jumping around when they said my name on the like video broadcast of it all, and I still am shaking.  I will have pictures up as this all comes in, and I wish I could be at Gamesday.  Unfortunately, I can't make it because of my on going move here :(  So I guess I will sit here staring at the mail box until then.  Thanks to everyone who contributed to this amazing army, as well as this awesome project.  After all said and done, HoA managed to make something like $31,057 for Doctors without Borders, which is an amazing charity group.  I'm going to call everyone of my gamer friends now and brag, so take care everyone!

Still not setup here...

So, as the post says, I am still not set up yet.  I am staying at my mother in-laws house until I close on my house here, which keeps hitting snags, so I have been unable to do anything substantial since most of my stuff is still in my bags.  Let me tell you, my teeth are itching to get at my plastic crack.  I have put together one full squad of the Forge World Plague Marines, and I have started on my second, but it is going slow since I have to unpack everything to start, set up on the kitchen table, and set aside time before I go to sleep to clean it all up and pack up again.  As this describes, it leaves me maybe an hour or two a night on the weekdays to mess around with my plastic dudesmen.  However, as I have heard, this is a HUGE gaming community.  One store I went to claims to have around 100 40k players.  I have yet to see this, but then again I have yet to go at night when everyone is supposed to be there, and also since I live about 45 minutes outside of town...

On that note, the only down side is that I am used to very friendly and chatty store owners.  In Kentucky, the community of gamers is very small, so the game store owners try their best to keep people there.  Here though, it seems, they have so many gamers that you are on your own.  I was talking to one owner about the community, trying to figure out how many people play, what they play, when they play, etc, and it was like I was trying to pull his teeth.  Lord forbid I interrupt him reading his comic to get information on his business.  But I guess I technically am some nobody who has never came to his store, so whatever.  I am hoping that I meet new people here and that the first experience is a limited one.  We will see in time.  Anyways, I will try to get pictures up as soon as I can, and when I close on my house and get my new Man Cave set up, I'll throw up some pictures of what work I have been able to squeeze out.
