Since its only been about 2 weeks since my last post not a while lot have been happening. The local group has picked up Warlord and they seem to be pretty excited about the game. Many players have in fact picked up their own armies which I think is awesome. Personally I have been working on my Reven army and they are almost completely painted and I will say they look very sharp. I have started using a new technique which makes blending fair easier and the models are turning out great. Hopefully when the next few days I can get some images up because these are some of the best models I have ever painted. With that said I also have a small growing elven force waiting on my desk to be primed and painted so I will have at the very least 2 750 point armies to throw down with in warlord. Eventually I also hope to have an Dwarven,Crusader and Merc force all around the 750 point mark.
Good, enough about warlord and on to Warhammer, not much to say about my elves at the moment I have finished pretty much everything that I was working on painting wise and I am currently awaiting the funds to start picking up some more units. Until I have some extra cash the Warhammer army is at a stand still.For those of you doing the math all of the warlord stuff I currently have was either given to me or was heavily discounted it was pennies compared to what my Warhammer army will cost. I am still aiming to participate in the Fall GT in Dayton provided I get everything complete. I was just informed that my army leader figure has just arrived at the store so thats one less thing I have to get.
On to role playing, I recently picked up a PDF adventure for the Xcrawl setting and I have to say it looks very fun. Basically its a level event that give players a taste of the Xcrawl world without have to have the Xcrawl rulebook. For those of you who don't know what Xcrawl its a D&D setting currently being produced by Goodman games in this setting it is modern times but instead of technology the world has magic as well as all the creatures and races that go along with it. In this world the main form of entertainment is a bloodsport called Xcrawl where teams of players run through dungeons and they exploits are broadcast live on tv for viewers to see. Think medival running man with all the tongue in check humor you can think of. Thats the basically the PDF that I picked up put players into the Division 4 finals which until today had been a non-lethal event but in order to increase rating the organizers have decided to removed the restrictions and let the violence commence. I really like the idea of this game and its prefect for players that like to do a bit of role-playing but are more apt to solve there problems with the sword. Essentially it is one dungeon crawl after another and depending on how players do in the crawls they can be rewarded with bast treasure and prizes eventually even getting sponsored by the various corporations that are in the world. Hopefully withing the next month or so I will be able to to a couple of one off adventures using this intro PDF and maybe even go on from there.
And Finally
The Dresden files,I have recently started reading the Dresden books by Jim Butcher and I can say after finishing up the 1st I loved the book and will soon be starting on the second, I have even picked up Butcher's fantasy series and have just started reading that. In addition to the books some of you may be familiar with the Dresden Files tv show that Sci-Fi recently canceled. I was able to check it out on DVD last weekend and although I liked the show it was to much of a departure from the books for me to really enjoy it. I thought it worked great as a show but for an avid fan it just wasn't enough.
That is it for now hopefully I will get back to the blog in less that a week but we shall see. As always please feel free to leave a comment if you have a question or well...a coment.
