Captain's Log... Missed December...

Mobile Hobby Crib! A nod to the Colonel!

Welcome to 2012!

Pictured above is my hobby station at my in-laws over the holidays. My mother in-law loves me and always keeps a spot open just for me and my toys. Notice the 'tumbler' in the background!

Captain's Log... You, You I call out!...



Yes, I said You!

Just three shots of a combi-melta/powerfisted guy I needed for a list I am testing. One powerfist didn't give it enough... oomph!

Captain's Log... Third Place...

Third Place!

Once again unto the breech...

The 12th of November down at FTW games in Richmond hosted an 1850 point Tournament with about 100 bucks worth of prizes handed out. Eight people showed and it was a good day for all. I played three rounds and the rundown of armies included: Grey Knights (1), Dark Eldar (1), Imperial Guard (1), Blood Angels (1), Ravenguard (1), The First Legion (Me), Tau (1), and Horde Orks (1).

Captain's Log... A Rant - The Corner will not be constrained!

Inspiration has to come from somewhere!

It's a dreary morning here in beautiful New York where I have been in exile (work) including being attacked by Poppa Nurgle (pneumonia + cold). The Apothecary says I'm free of any illness but I won't be returning for a day or two to The Rock (home).

Captain's Log... Fiction Only...

F

I was sick over the last several weeks first with a cold that developed to pneumonia which returned to a cold. I've been to the doctor and to the counter for things that would help me get better... I have five days to go on one round of medicine.

Here is a piece of fiction, after the break, which I've been fiddling with along with doing nothing with my models. Enjoy!  

With permission I have re-worked a collaboration on an arena battle that my good friend Consadine and I had wrote many moons ago. I submit it now from an older corner...

Captain's Log... Quarantined...

The only corner with it's own black hole.

Just a note... I have been sick... no hobby stuff, no blog stuff, no forum stuff. In other words...

I got nothing! 

I'll be in the corner pictured above...

P.S. - Wash your hands after reading this post.

Captain's Log... A Question...

Hmmm....

I've been trying to build a count-as 'Rune Priest' for the First Legion and it has been going... not so good.

After the break are two different models that I have put together in no particular order to represent the 'Rune Priest'. I'd appreciate any comments.

Captains Log... Relaxing Saturday...

Run, run, run!

I enjoyed a day down at the local FLGS doing a 1000 point RTT Tournament run by Rob Baer and his staff. The truth be told it was most of the players who didn't make the second round of 'Ard Boyz and younger players in the area. It is what it is and I wanted to play. What am I doing building and plotting if I don't get out to see how my well laid plans are utterly dashed the moment the first dice rolls!

Captain's Log... Product Review...

http://www.warmill.co.uk/

I'm going to show some close up pictures and some opinion on a fortress I purchased from a company called WarMill.

First though, I want to give credit where it is due. WarMill has a presence on Dakka Dakka and I am not trying to move in on any of their success or the success of WarMill in starting their company. I'm just an average guy calling it as I see it.

Captain's Log... Flash 40K...

Shazam!!!... and we're done!

Today was a "40K Flash Tournament" at the local store. The complete rules for this event can be found here (For The Win Games) instead of shamelessly stealing the text to create a longer post.

When you start 'modifying' 40K to play at certain point levels the unintended consequences is that certain 'builds' (lists) can become more effective on the table regardless of the situation on the table when it comes to deployment, missions, and opponents.
