Lot of work ahead...

I opened up my new space marine battleforce and found something about it that was a bit surprising. They need to be glued together.
Apparently, only the starter sets for 4th and 5th editions are the snap together. Not surprising since they are made to be put together and played quickly.
Everything else is glued. Looks like I will have lots of work ahead of me to get a good army together to play with. I want to play more but I would like to have something to show for my effort. That, and it will look cool already painted too!

Happy Father's Day...

What a great Father's Day. Well... my new game room is not finished. I still have to find where to put all the stuff so I can use the game tables. It will get done. Right now we are focusing on painting to not only practice our artist skills, but to have cool looking armies when we go to the local game store to play other fellow Warhammer enthusiasts!

I got some awesome gifts for Father's Day and cant wait to get started...

New Challange...

Ethan and I decided to finish more of our 40K projects yesterday. He finished assembling his models from the Assault on Black Reach set. I began working on my 3rd Edition set. (it doesn't have a cool title like the 4th and 5th ed sets)
Well, come to find out that I would have to glue ALL my pieces together to get them started. Not like the 4th/5th ed sets where they snap into place with the option of glue. So this one might take a while, or it may go the back burner since this will take LOTS of time to assemble and paint and setup properly. But it will be worth it.
Just not now... :)

Oh man, I cant wait till this new project is done!!!

Too many things...

It has been a while since the last post. I got a bunch of stuff but there are some things going on and the project is temporary on hold. We hope to be back up soon but it will take time, once things are worked out. I will keep things moving until we are back up to speed.

So here it is. My new finds.
First, the entire 2009 back issues of White Dwarf, real cheap...

Second, a book store find of the Daemonhunters (Grey Knights) codex...

Last but not least... a unusual find... an Eye of Terror stap map poster...
I cant wait to get this framed!

Facebook...

I decided to share the blog on facebook. Now that more friends are able to read this blog, they too can follow the missions, stories, other events Ethan and I will see in the coming future. I even got a few of them curious about the game.

We will see what comes of it...

Read some more...

I was going through my Warhammer library and I am just amazed by each codex I read. I sometimes find myself just reading them like mini novels since the history and stories in them are fascinating! I am learning so much. I would like to play more and get some painting/assembling done too!!
More soon...
