To Whom It May Concern...

I have, as I've already mentioned, entered this year's HoP Idol over at House of Paincakes - the voting isn't open yet, but if any of you read my Challenge One article  and feel that it deserves a vote to keep me in the competition, I'd be very grateful.

To those interested by the article itself, I will indeed be following up to show the process by which my opinion of 6th has changed, in as far as it has.

Keeping me in the contest is a good way to keep me motivated and writing btw. ;-)

Hahaha, thanks.

The One About Loneliness...

So...this post is about 6th.

As an aside, today's tourny was awful.  My first two opponents were my last two from the last one, Salvation - and in no way is that a bad thing in theory - but I'd rather have played different people for the novelty, since this may be my last ever 40k tournament.  Plus, Loganwing and then Wraiths isn't the best start given my ambivalence in the first place.  If I'd had a nice easier game, maybe that would have made me care.  A warm-up, in a sense.  Ah well.

So, 6th.

I haven't read the BRB for it yet, but I've read the Dwarf, so this is a commentary on the incomplete ruleset, again, but on what I do know.

Let's talk about changes then.

Not Everything Is About 6th You Know...

Up stupid early for Q-Con 2012 (I forget what numeral we're on, hard to care) [24, apparently] and another 5th Edition 40k event.  My last, in fact.  I've read a little more of 6th now, though I still haven't got to read the whole book, obviously, and I have to say that my desire to play 40k at all has only diminished further, so this tournament is going to be shit.

Oh, ok, I've now kinda hit a wall.

I have tons of modelling work to do to fully prepare my army for the tournament on the 19/20th of May at Arkham GC, and frankly I can't be bothered.  This is an inopportune time to be lackadaisical, but I am.

Dystopian Wars by Spartan Games...

Recently, I started playing this other tabletop game, by the chaps (and chapettes?) over at Spartan Games.

Monday Day Hobby Day, as I believe the saying goes...

So, today, I had some plans to proceed with my ongoing modelling projects, and basically build some toy souljers.

A Quick Pimping for Something Special

From Wobbly Model Syndrome

Hey there again,

Are you, much like me, often bored and trawl sites across the interwebs such as xkcd and are constantly on the lookout for yet another semi-decent webcomic to peruse weekly to add to procrastination....? 

Are you, much like me a fan of a certain 28mm wargame (if not why the hell do you read this blog)?

Would you like to see something that combines the two together in perfect matrimony?
