Into Adventureland! Home of Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jungle Cruise!
The existence of these planets is rarely made obvious but there are many of them throughout the Imperium. Travel to these worlds is forbidden except for the most well-informed and heavily armed expeditions, and even then only with a very good reason. ......or my little place to rant, post, pic and what have you about gaming,painting,models,general nerdery and such.

Alright I'm back with stuff!
I have returned from a week long vacation in the happiest place on Earth or Walt Disney World.
It was humid, expensive long and there were too many people; but it was a good time!
This is the first of a series of photo dumps from the trip.
Enjoy or look away for a few days.

Weekly schlock and HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS!?!?!
This could very well be the pinnacle of schlock. I stayed away long enough from this movie. It popped up in 2012 and the premise piqued my interest. Yet, I stayed away out of fear. Oh no, not fear from how bad it would be, but fear of if I might actually like it.
What film could it be?
Iron Sky.
Why was I interested? Well the premise involves Nazis on the moon.
ON THE MOON! NAZIS!
How did I stay away this long?

Review: Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards
Once upon a time, there was a world filled to the brim with radical magic. And not pussy magic, like rabbits in hats or shit like that. No, it was kick-ass magic, where one guy blows another guy's head off with like, a fireball or something! You know, BALL-ROCKING MAGIC!
This is the intro to the card game:
Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre!
What the frak is this all about?
Well it is a card game that peaked my interest thanks to the TableTop YouTube video show thingy.
This is a card game for a group of 2-6 players. The goal is to become the last wizard standing after various rounds of: brain exploding, polymorphing, acid spraying, lightning bolt throwing fire blasting spells.
Each player first selects a wizard to use. Picking a wizard is simple, grab the one that sounds the coolest. The name and artwork are the only differences between the wizards. You can choose from the likes of: Krazztar the Blood o’ Mancer, Jung Jung the Spirit Master, Fey Ticklebottom the Enchanter, Zanzabart the Slag Genie, Princess Holiday and her vicious Furicorn or Pisster the Pissed wizard. They are all just place holders for your hit points, so it doesn’t truly matter who you choose.
After grabbing a wizard everyone grabs a hand of eight cards. These are used to create your devastating spells.

New stuff. Sometime soon.
Finally, Privateer is throwing all the theme lists from their magazine into one book. I'll be grabbing this as soon as possible since there are three theme lists floating around out there I want to try to build toward.

Weekly schlock and awe movie time!
Ignacious Perrish, or Ig as he is called by everyone in the film, has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Merrin. He is constantly hounded by the media and has become a pariah to the townsfolk. After a night of drinking and hooking up with a childhood friend, horns have started to sprout from his forehead. If that isn’t strange enough everyone can see them and they are not even phased by them. Weirder still is that everyone who talks to Ig can to help from telling him their dirty secrets, base desires and horrible thoughts. Ig realizes that he can use these horns to help find the real killer of Merrin and clear his name.
I was waiting for Netflix streaming to throw this out there to view, and view I did.
Holy crap snacks Horns is not 100% terrible and really tries to be awesome. Really it tries, but ultimately fails.

More new Khorne stuff
I usually praise the Warhammer Fantasy group for their modeling skills. They seem to do a great job….and then these guys arrive.
What the hell is wrong with their heads?
I get you like the powers of Chaos, but can a brother just get a sword/axe without it being covered in…well whatever the frak that is? Is it a skull metal skin coating with teeth covering these weapons? Can you just give them a big honking cleaver or wicked serrated sword instead of whatever the hell is going on there.
We get it. There is chaos and the warp powers going on, but you don’t have to choke us on it.

New Bloodthrister after all these years.
Well holy crap they finally made a new plastic Bloodthrister!
It looks gigundus and for $100+ dollars it better be! Why else would it cost that much?
Overall it is way better than the old ape face and giant handed previous Bloodthirister. That model has needed an update for over a decade.
Two of the three heads are good. This one, is pretty dumb.
What the hell is wrong with his face? |
The weapon options are cool. Well except for whatever the hell this hammer on a string is. That just looks ridiculous.
It has a descent mid action pose.

Weekly schlock and awe movie time!
I did not expect much from a movie with the title Train besides associated railway travel.
No. I'm not really in for a ride. |
A more subtle tag-line one cannot find. |
An American wrestling team that is from America with American team members is in Europe wrestling non-Americans. After a meet the team goes out to party. This leads to them missing their train the next morning. However, they are able to hop aboard another train to get to their next wrestling competition. This is where everything goes to crap. See this is a special train that helps Europeans in need. How? Well they harvests organs and various body parts from Americans who ride this train. This quickly becomes a mash of gory surgical torture and survival horror.
I guess that Eastern Europe just really likes chopping up Americans for various reasons. They also like to torture the crap out of them before chopping them to bits, or needed transplant parts. I think it is always a bad idea to perform surgery by just ripping out eyes and hearts for transplant later. Yes it makes it more gross, but what about the tissue damage and aseptic technique? Duh! Plus it always a bad idea to pee-pee all over a potential organ donor after you have savagely beat him. I’m not sure what stage of surgery preparation that is. Yes there is a point of view pee-pee sequence.
Actually, there might be some descent gore, but it is shot so dark. It does make it hard to see a lot of the gross, but we get just enough bloody bits. I’m not sure if the darkness is just for effect, bad filming or to cover some special effects short fall.

Seriously, these guys throw a wiz on dude. That just isn't sanitary or medically necessary. Plus this is what all evil eastern Europeans look like. Keep a watchful eye. |

Will they be the same!?!?
There was a time when the only way I could get a Chocodile was to have it shipped from west of the fly over states (as we are referred ).
For some idiot reason they were not available in the area.
Then Hostess closed its doors. I lamented but moved on with my life.
After the return of the Hostess brand via another company I had no hope that the Chocodile would return. Even if it did, the new Twinkie is a shadow of its former spongy crème filled self.
While getting petrol the other day, what did I see on the shelf? Could it be?
HOLY JUMPIN’ JESUS! THE CHOCODILE HAS RETURNED!
Wait does this mean the return of the long lost Choc-Bliss is near?!
ZOUNDS!

Orboros tree men and a magic pillar
The Sentry Stone and Mannikins!
I know this unit seems universally poo-pooed by the Orboros community, but I tend to never really listen to anybody.
