Weekly Update #5

Happy Halloween y'all!

Hope you've been having an excellent day/night, I know I have.  Just wanted to take the time to crank out a post now that the nights festivities are just about done.  

First off, went to Treefort this weekend, and got two excellent games of Uncharted Seas in!  850 points of shroud Mages against elves that ended in a bloody draw, even with my flagship being captured!  Then a quick 550 point game against Bone Griffons that I won by the skin of my teeth.  Blew up a battleship last turn that had 3 prize counters on it.  Crazy game!  

Great games all around.  My buddy got in a game of 40k and learned some Warmachine.  I also acquired 6 illuminator frigates and a second pair of heavy cruisers.  

In other news, a big trade went down between my friend and I.  Trading my Eldar (fully painted) and High Elves (which I'll never get to painting) for a huge Chaos Marine and Daemons lot, as well as an infinity starter set, and the Terrans from the Firestorm Armada: Battle for Valhalla box set.  A good trade I think, and one that will keep me busy.  

My plan for the chaos is to slowly build them up, including my Champions.  I want them all modeled to look the part, with awesome wins and failings preserved on the models.  I have my first chaos lord of khorne all ready to roll...

So, I think that's all I have for now.  I might be trying some Flames of War soon too - I have another friend looking to get into tabletop gaming and that's the poison he picked.  So, as always, take care, and remember to always cry "Havoc!" before you let slip the dogs of war!

Playing Catch Up

Hey All!

It has been quite a while since I last updated the ole website here.  I apologize profusely for the lack of upkeep on my part.  College happens though.  I will be trying to post some sort of weekly update from here on out, but have mercy if it turns into a bi-weekly event every once in a while.  So, without further ado, here is a little list of everything that has happened on my end of the world, and then some links and updates about games that are pretty fantastic!

1.  I've played something like 3 games of Uncharted Seas over the past 3 weeks, and have enjoyed it profusely.  I've played against Orcs twice and Bone Griffons once and my Shroud Mages have maintained a fairly sturdy record against my opponents.  We lost one game against the Orcs, fought another to a draw, and blew the Bone Griffons out of the water.  Good fun, especially since I have every single Shroud Mages model I have currently painted up.  I do have 6 Illuminator Frigate on the way that will add a little bit of painting to the board, but that isn't too bad.  Here are some pictures from the various games I have played over the course of the past 3 weeks.

My apologies for the poor image quality on the orc fleet.  I was experimenting with my camera, and I didn't retake them.  Too much exploding going on.

2.  Aside from Uncharted Seas, we have been getting pretty heavily invested into some new games coming down the pike.  In fact on Monday, my buddy and I will be playing our first game of Dropzone Commander using the glorious 2 player box they have just released.  It should be excellent, and I am really looking forward to trying to knock two games out so I can try both sides of the box set.  Also, he has recently purchased the Warmachine two player box set, so that will be in use shortly - and I might be investing in a Circle Orboros army.

3.  On to announcements and new releases!  There are simply too many to get into much detail, but Sky Pirates for Uncharted Seas are coming out and look absolutely gorgeous!  The Sorylian and Relthoza "Patrol Fleet" starter boxes have been shown off, and both are also amazing.  My buddy ordered some WarBoards for us when they come out in December, so those are really cool.  And then a bunch of Dark Elves came out for Warhammer Fantasy and those are beautiful.  Links to everything below.  Take care everyone!
