and the winner is...

The battle reports are still being worked. Not to worry, they will be up soon. Right now, here is something to get your imagination going...

Whats going on!?!?

Battle Reports coming....

So, Joey sent me all the pictures and I have gone through them to get the ones relating to Mission One.  It has been rather busy today so I haven't been able to actually write out the battle report, but that will be up within the next day.  Joey will wait to post his after I posted mine so that we can keep the reports in order, me doing Mission One and him doing Mission Two.

Mission Accomplished....

What a great night.  Joey and I finally had a chance to actually play Warhammer 40k, and it was better than expected!  We are starting with the Battle for Macragge starter set missions.  This is the starter set that contains Space Marines and Tyranids.  We chose this one because I still have yet to completely put together the Assault on Black Reach set, but that will be done next weekend.


We got through the first two missions, which I shamefully admit I lost.  I played as the Tyranids and having very little control over how my Spores move is quite annoying!  We have taken plenty of pictures and tomorrow we will post our battle reports.  I will be doing Mission 1 and Joey will be doing Mission 2, so stay tuned!

Sidenote...

I was wondering about something. After we get playing a few and decide to get some stories going, I wanted to try this. To add to the storyline, I wanted to see how the Warhammer 40K expansion: Planetary Empires would fit.

It would be like a story of repelling an invasion of your planet, or the story of taking back your planet. Each tile would represent a battlescape and you must get all or most of the tiles to win.

Too many details to explain now but if it works, we can hash those out when we get them.

Just an idea...

The plan....

As you can see Joey has created a great spot for us to continue our Warhammer 40k journey.  As you know the journey had slowed down in recent week, but we are starting to pick things up.  With a place for us established in Joeys garage, we have devised a plan so that we ensure we can create at least weekly updates to our blog.

We have decided that we will play a game every two weeks, and the weeks we don't play will be dedicated to painting.  This will let us update our blog with battles we have waged as well as the progress we make on painting our armies.  So long as things go according to plan our blog should be updated at least every Sunday with our weekly progress.

Reference...

Here is a current picture of my Warhammer literature and stuff.

It is nice to look at all on its own shelf instead of stacks on the carpet in my office!!

Information is power.

Prepare for war...

It is all done!!!!

I finally got my garage into a nice play space. I even broke out the play mat on the table and we are ready to get started. Now I need to know when. At least I can brush up on the rules so there is more play time!

Here it is...

Lets get sweaty...
