Happy Memorial Day!

    Today is a day to remember all you have died so we could have the freedom that we have. So, enjoy your day. Have a moment of silence for those have fallen for our way of life. Even if it has to be between the hamburger & Cole slaw. Honor the heroics of the men that held the line so others could escape and those who took orders unsure if they would see home again.

    The games we play are war. I push models around a table hoping they live through every encounter. They usually don't, under my command. Even when I win fights, the death toll is higher than I expect. Whether it is a Deathwing Terminator, Striking Scorpion or lowly guardsman, each model represents a soldier, some one's son, or daughter, brother or sister. So today, all I ask is if you must put your armies to the field. Please. Save a life. For all life is precious.

Except for those damned termagants. Blast their freaking heads off.......

Happy Memorial Day!

Space elves for the win!

     For months now I have been focusing on the dark and mysterious space marines of the Dark Angels chapter. The rules & rigidity of the Imperium of man is a reliable way to destroy your foes. (at least that is how they see it. My luck is not so reliable). Everything in my hobby progress has been in the name of the emperor. Between the unforgiven Dark Angels and the standing militia of the Imperial Guard, my progress is slow and steady.

     But now, things have changed. The return of the Eldar is near. Or so I have read on the Internet. Shh! Don't tell anyone! The followers of Khaine were my first army in 40k. I am excited by this news. This the force that makes me play the game. They are my vision of a sci-fi army. The idea of jetbikes and hovering tanks blasting their enemies off of the field. Troopers running around supporting their airborne brethren and holding strategic points. A little iffy on the artists or masons firing the guns, but I can accept it from a dying race.

     So now I look forward to June. Until then, I will continue to paint green and hunt the fallen. May the Emperor protect.
