Saturday, July 13, 2002The Levant
Atlas Games is realeasing a Levant Sourcebook. I really haven't thought much about Ars Magica in ages. I might pick this book up though, it'd be interesting to see how the author's view of the Middle East pans out.

Thursday, July 11, 2002Orks Are Tough
Rebecca and I played a small (700 point) 40K game last night, her with Orks and me with my Imperial Fist. Her army looked something like this:
Warboss with 5 Nob Retinue (mixture of Choppas, 'Uge Choppas and a Power Claw) in a Trukk 2x15 Slugga boyz w/Burna boy on foot 2 Warbuggies (1 x MegaBlasta, 1xTL Rokkit) 1 Dread (Big Shoota & Scorcha) My force was: Chaplain 2x10 Tac Squad (Heavy bolter, Missile Launcher) Bikes (3 x Reg, 1xAssault) Tornado She crushed me. I had one unit left (the Tornado). I couldn't stop the Warboss... She rocketed him up in the Trukk in turn 1 (I tried to pop it but failed!). In turn 2, she assaulted with the Warboss & Nobs -- and that was pretty much it. My Chaplain managed to take out the Warboss, but died doing it. I killed maybe 1 Nob. While that was going on, her Slugga Boyz advanced under fire and assulted me. It was sick. I LIKE orks. I want more orks. Mmmmm, assault.

Forums Toast
I killed the discussion forums... they were dead, and occupying space. They were also starting to generate mySQL errors and I don't feel like fixing something that never gets used :-)
Chaos Marauders
I just picked up my first regiment for Warhammer Fantasy... a unit of Marauders. Wow, GW is really getting these plastic minis down, they look beautiful and have a bunch of cool extra bits. I'll pick up a box of Warriors soon, too.

Sunday, July 07, 2002New Dark Eldar?
PORTENT.NET - The Ultimate Games Workshop Web Source is reporting a rumor that the Dark Eldar will be getting a new Codex and some new models "next" August! w00t! I hope the new Codex is fluffy, and not just as army list update reprint kinda thingy. However, this does leave me wondering about the "next" in "Next August" I fear it means August '03...
No Ted Turner
It seems that the Ted Turner rumor isn't true. Info here.

Monday, July 01, 2002Painting Figures in B&W
During a break at Saturday's 40K tourney at ZGames, John and I were talking about painting a fig in black & white -- lo and behold, today I stumble across just such a thing: Mortis, of the Hand of Justice. I really like the idea of it, I think a B&W diorama would be very cool indeed. '40s era gangsters would probably work best, eh?
