Finally, A Challenge Worthy of My Skill!

So I'm going to get in on a Blood Angels-only painting contest featured on Bell of Lost Souls and sponsored by BattleForgeGames. It's certainly worth doing, since I stand to potentially win a new Baal Predator, a box of Sanguinary Guard and a box of Death Company! You know, if I'm good enough.

I've got to assemble and paint either a new plastic Baal Predator, a squad of Sanguinary Guard OR a squad of Death Company by May 21. And because I have got to post SOMETHING on this blog once in a while, I'm posting progress shots here as I go!

Wish me luck!

PS: I'm not actually cocky - the post title is a quote from the Imperial Guard Enginseer from Dawn of War: Winter Assault.

Game Summit

I just wanted to let you all know about an awesome event that's going on here in Ottawa called Game Summit. I just happen to be working on some web stuff for it. While the event plays host to both a Warhammer 40k tournament AND a Warhammer 40k Kill Team tournament, it caters to a wide variety of other "analog" games, like board games, RPGs and collectible card games. Looks like Game Summit has something for the whole family.

I hope I see some fellow FTWers and just lots of gamers of all sorts there!

Apologies

Sorry to have been on hiatus for a while. I've been lazy, to be quite honest. I'm excited now, though, because I've discovered that it's much easier for me to customize my blog template than I had previously believed. With a spiffy-looking blog (work in progress right now), I'll hopefully be more motivated to post more often.

See you next time!

Live to Win, Epilogue

So, on the 17th of May I went to Cangames. One win, one tie, one loss, but plenty of fun had by all!

Live to Win, chapter 2

Here it is, another update on my insane quest to revamp my army by the time the Warhammer 40,000 tournament at Cangames 2009 right here in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.

Live to Win

This is it. Crunch time. Two weeks, one deadline, one tournament. It's time for me to paint my army.

Upcoming Tourney - 1500 point list

There's a 1500 point 40k tournament coming up next month here in Ottawa, at a yearly board, card, and miniature gaming convention known as CanGames. So I've got until May 17 to buy, build and paint two more Rhinos, two Land Speeders, and two Attack Bikes for the following list. After I finish my Baal and my Assault Squads, anyway.

Derailed!

Those stalwart few of you who have followed this blog from the beginning may have been wondering what precisely I've been doing, and why, pray tell, have I not been posting? Either that or you've never been here before, or perhaps even you're not terribly interested. Well, I'm going to tell y'all anyway.

Progress: Baal Predator (Blood Angels)

Here comes a progress report on my shiny new Baal Predator!

A Fatal Case of Tactical Schizophrenia

In my most recent games, I have found myself at a loss when it comes to a strategy to effectively deal with armour or heavily-armoured troops.
