So, what have I been motivated to complete since my last post here a little over a week ago? I HAVE A PICTURE FOR THAT TOO.
I did a thing in the bottom right over there and completed (to a tabletop standard) a couple of models from a range that I have never painted before. I did this by getting my Alchemist team completed for Guildball in time to go and get some gaming in at the beach against some buddies of mine from Atlanta.
Here is some photographic proof that I can indeed complete models in a rather quick fashion should I so choose to do so!
I really enjoyed playing Guildball over the weekend. It is a refreshing change of pace from the types of games I was playing before in that you can get it done in a little over an hour in most circumstances. These games that I was playing were learning games, and as such they were all more geared towards helping me along with the game system and learning the niceties of the system. I played against both an Engineers Guild team and a Union Team. I lost all three games, but as the weekend progressed it was closer and closer. The final game I managed to score 6 to his winning 12 points. Other games before this I had failed to score a single point with my team either time.
I really am enjoying Guildball, but I definitely need to get more practice in with the team that I have and - of course - pick up the rest of the Alchemist models that I don't already have. Which of course will lead to grabbing more Union team members, a Union team, and then grabbing another team after that as it snowballs out of control. But that's ok! Who gets into tabletop games and doesn't have that happen to them over the course of their gaming life?

In other news, I have postings about the news! That's right folks, I have just a few items of business that I would like to bring to the attention of the model loving public.
First, the birth of the Skaven Pestilence Battletome and all of the delicious wonders that entails:
I have not broken down and purchased the Virulent Horde yet, but man alive that is a good looking box set if I have ever seen one. I am not a huge fan of getting another Plague Furnace, but the thought of just about everything else in the box set makes it well worth basically getting a Furnace and a catapult for free an ok prospect. I am giddy with excitement over this release, for fairly obvious reasons I think. I love my Plague Rats almost as much as I love gaming in general, so these are near and dear to my heart as a Skaven player.
The other Age of Sigmar news that has my blood and creative juices flowing is the grand entrance of the Sigmarite Cavalry, and the hints of Stardragons coming to their aid soon. These models, while pricy, are some of the coolest things I have seen. I really dig the whole vibe of the crossbowmen armed cavalry, I think they are probably the best looking of the bunch with the axes coming in a close second.

Anyway, this is all I have for you today. Look for the ever increasing tide of Clan Festerscar to make a reappearance on the Realm of Ghur, and for more painted Guildball models to show up on this page in the near future! Until next time, dear readers, happy gaming!
