I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna build a Warhammer Fantasy army -- the new Chaos models are sooooo sweet that I can't resist. Zina and I are psyched about painting up these nasty fantasy guys. The new army book and figures aren't due for another six weeks or so -- that'll give me a few weeks to pick up a regiment box or two of Chaos Warriors and get in the groove. Now, should I do a faction or go Chaos Undivided? Don't hate me 'cause I'm a figures slut ;-)

Now, this isn't going to get in the way of the Dark Eldar project exactly... I'm still going to do another 40K army, just more slowly. One thing I've found is that I need variety or I get bored. Almost a year of working strictly on Imperial Fist space marines was just too much.

Played a game and a half of Chainmail yesterday lunch. Lost the first one against Aaron's stunties -- he couldn't miss and I couldn't hit. Chainmail does seem to be pretty luck-based; the smaller number of models per side really makes you vulnerable to runs of bad dice. The half a game was a 4-on-4 with Sean's Naresh, my Thalos, Aaron's Mordenguard and Dave's (?) Ravilla. We were playing a cool version of Take and Hold. The objective was ZGames' Blood FOuntain terrain piece. Any model that got into base contact with the fountain got +1 to hit and +1 damage -- from drinking the magical blood. Bwahahahaha. Anyways, we got a few turns in, but I had to bail to go back to work before things really got rolling. Bummer.
