Real life is for March!

Its Leap Day! and everyone knowsthere are two things about this day........

This is a magical day that only happens once every four years. Do something stupid, take a chance, nothing on leap day counts!

Also today, Leap Day William emerges from the Marianas Trench every four years he emerges to trade children’s tears for candy.

I'm off to do some drift racing, eat at Wendys, punch some kids to get their tears and then enter Mr. Dinkleman in underground kaninhop competion.

Get your blue and yellow on and have at it today!

REAL LIFE IS FOR MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you seen this unit? part 20

I’ll keep with the Ork codex and jump into the elite section for a quick look. I see a unit which I would love to try, but nobody else seems to like…Burna Boyz.

These are Orks that either work as welders/mechanics or are a group that just loves to play with fire. As a child I was quite the pyro, so one can see why these guys peak my interest. The opening movie to the original Dawn of War had a great Burna boy sequence! That image still jumps to the front of my tiny brain when I see the Burna Boy codex entry.

I AM THE LORD OF HELLFIRE AND I BRING YOU............

Necron review, the last fast...Scarabs

Now I get to the final, and my favorite fast attack unit, the Scarabs.

Essentially mindless feeding machines, scarabs are a small constructs used by the Necrons. They are used to break down organic and non-organic matter for construction materials, energy or because it is the way. They function in small groups or giant swarms. Several Necron lords will also used them as fodder in battle. They attack in swarms and delete enemy ammunition stores before the bulk of the Necron force arrives. They are also used against heavily armored foes as well. They can turn an armored column to slag within minutes.

Looking at a second game of 4th ed D&D

Time, work and whatever permitting; I think our gang will get another 4th edition D&D game played this weekend. I have mulled over the rules a bit more and hopefully it will run a little smoother.

This is also the first attempt at writing my own encounters. The boxed starter encounters were ok, but had to be tweaked since they are for a party of five. Having at least three (or maybe more or less) to run for is and isn't difficult. The way this version works it is a bit hard to judge the party's survivability and killing power. I think, I have found a nice mix of stuff for them to do and can probably adjust it a bit depending on who is playing.

Either way, it is a damn good feeling to be gaming again!

New G.W. soon to be/ 'bout damn time releases

The Tyranids and Space Wolves are getting their second wave and the models look descent.

Now there is the fact that this release is two plus years late. Does anyone care? Well some yes and many no. The people who wanted Thunderwolves and Tervigons have long since converted or bought 3rd party models. This is just too little too late if you ask me.

These should have been first wave releases. Especially the bug poopers and wolf cavalry. People went nuts over these units (and still do) and had nothing to use for them. Well for the people that don't they will soon have models. The people that have made do with something else are they going to shell the money out for these kits? Probably not.

Sure these will sell, but they would have sold soooooooo much better if they would have been release two plus years ago. You know when the codexes (codices) were released.

This saga will forever continue.

Thank You Games Workshop!

Say what you want about G.W., but I am glad they re-booted this game.

Oh, I'm not going to play it. I did that years ago. I am happy since it peaked some interest and got the remaining Lord o' the Rings models, at my house, sold. Yeah it was for a mere pittance, but that is not the issue. The real issue is that they sold and will be mailed away to some happy gamer.

Now I have more space and fewer models. I think I might see if my Warmachine stuff will sell. It is also taking up space and will never be used.

H.B.O. finally brings him back!
