Captain's Log... Hobby Stuff...

Just a short post this week. I'm still going strong with my writing and trying to get a new 'tray' together for 'between' rounds in tournaments.

Take a look after the break...

Captain's Log... Charity Drive...

Black Crusade 2012

If you click the picture of the Chaos Space Marine, in the 'Corners of Interest', in the right column of the blog, it will take you to a site that is doing a charity drive and giving away prizes.

I give to charity in many ways and this is just a little help to those fellows over there trying to do good stuff.

Hit the caption or the picture on the right and take a look,

I'll be in other corners waiting for pre-orders...

Captain's Log... Trophy of the Day...

Made by Kellen with a little help.

I almost forgot, but better late than never, to wish all the Fathers a Happy Father's Day!

Love my kids!

Captain's Log... All Good Things...

I am a lucky man to get a 'man-cation' on father's day weekend and that the local store was running a 40K tournament. I just have one word (for the moment)... Woohoo!

So for what it's worth I will give you a rundown of the day...

Captain's Log... New Edition, New Dice...

Astro Dice

New Editions requires new dice!

The forum I have belonged to for several years has ordered dice with our logo and I have just reiceived my in the mail. Astro-Dice for the win! (the 'A' is the six)

Other then that... nothing till Sunday.

I'll be in the tournament corner till Sunday...

Captain's Log... Shameless...

While we all wait for the dawn of a new age of 40K known as '6th Edition', I have been busy doing another aspect of our hobby. Writing... or at least a form of it.

Captain's Log... Pictures?...

Pictures or it didn't happen. How many times have we heard that? Could this be a 'meme' of our hobby? The banner is a new addition to FTW Games and presented to Rob Baer on the 2nd Anniversary of the opening of his shop. I salute him and the good work the shop does!

I went to the 'Iron Man' yesterday and stayed late into the night. I had fun, so lets get on with some commentary and some pictures that turned out.

Captain's Log... Draw-hammer...

The last game of the evening ended in the yee old 'drawhammer' with a twist. The cute 'your HQ is caring the objective', kill them to get the objective to stop moving, and the only way to 'win' is by controlling both objectives. 

The game was a tie of course, thus the picture...

I will be in the corner putting the fun list back on the shelf and working a new list for the 16th while I paint terminators.

Captain's Log... Major Loss...

 

Need I say more... the black horde of Imperial Guard seized the initiative and ruined my day on kill points. Seven kill point to one... transports, always with the transports...

Game three goes on into the corner of the night...

CK

Captain's Log... Game One...

 

First game at FTW's 'Iron Man"... Draw against a Black Templar player. It went five turns and ran down to the last assault phase where I had to re-roll the winning penetration roll versus a venerable dred. Drat!

More updates later...

Now... round two in the corner...

Captain's Log... Happy Birthday FTW Games...

Has it really been two years?

Happy Birthday FTW Games in Richmond Virginia!

I wouldn't call Rob Baer my friend or anything. We don't hang out, I know little of his life beyond the local store but wargamers form bonds none the less. There is nothing like walking into the local store, or any game store for that matter, and being at home.  I'm really just a customer doing what I can, when I can, but you get the idea.
