Finally some traction?

Got to love tax return season! Well sometimes. This year looks like it will be somewhat good to me. This next week I should be picking up some more stuff for my army and in a couple of weeks I plan on getting a KR Multicase to hold the beginnings of my GK army and what it will be built into. So very excited about that.

I've decided March is going to have a heavy emphasis on painting my army. This is what I will have:

5 Terminators (90% painted)
15 Purifiers (50% painted)
5 GK Strike Squad (0% painted)
2 Razorbacks (33% painted)
1 Venerable Dreadnought (0% painted)
1 Nemesis Dreadknight (0% painted)
1 Castellan Crowe (10% painted)
1 Lord Draigo (0% painted, using as Grand Master)

Slowly and surely getting there. At least I'll be able to field a decent size army instead of chump change as I've been having to do. So the plan is to get busy painting in March and making time to play again.

Wish me luck!

Trip to Excelsior




Stopped by the new game store in Hoover - Excelsior and was pretty impressed. Bud's is still closest to me, but I can see myself going down there on occassion. Great gaming space, good selection of product.

Met a couple of the guys from the C.A.G.E. forum there. One of them had an awesome Dark Eldar Army (selected pics above) and the other a Tau Army. They were playing a local campaign game with some awesome rewards on the table for the winner. I'm really bad at names so forgive me for not remembering their names - though one I remember (the Tau player) as being wrathdad or something like that from the forums. Anyway I was really flattered they recognised me by my blog and recent interview on the 11th Company podcast.
