Warhammer,Warlord and others

Well its been a while since I have posted and to be honest not much has happened. I have been working on my Warhammer army so my High Elves are coming along. I have a unit of Sea Guard finished and I also have my bolt throwers and crew painted as well. Just need to finish up my Battle Standard Bearer and I will be ready to pick up some more stuff.

Recently I have been on a fantasy skirmish kick so I got out my Confrontation 3 stuff to get it prepped for the Gencon Tournament so I will be getting some C3 games in but I also picked up a new game Warlord by Reaper. I actually got to play Warlord last night and I can honestly say I love the system so much in fact that I wish I would have found the game 4 years ago and not had to deal with the headache of Confrontation for so long. Don't get me wrong Confrontation is a great game it just dealing with the bad translation,poor management and a company that only really half supported it was a bit tedious. Warlord on the other hand is well supported it get updated yearly and the figs although not all of the them meet Rackham level of detail are very cool in their own right. The game is also way cheaper with figures being about half of what Confrontation figs are.

Now some of you out there may claim that I have gamer ADD and in some instances you may be right I do seem to be hopping for game to game at the moment but I myself have come to the realization that I am getting more into the Hobby aspect of gaming where I like to paint cool models and use them in their respective games or use them in any game I choose. With that said I haven't seen any other games out there that I am really interested in so I think I am sticking with Warhammer,Warlord, C3 and Infinity for a while that may change I also have an eye on some Anima Tactics figs but that game is in need of a rule book for me to get into they do have some cool models though.

High Elves,New Links

During my last post I mentioned that I was starting a High Elf army, in the past few weeks I have actually started buying miniatures and I have a burgeoning army now. Currently I have about 1000 pts sitting in various states of assemble on my desk. Currently I have unit of Sea Guard that is 95 percent complete they are all painted I am just finishing up their shields and banners. The rest of the army is still kind of up in the air at the moment I can say this I am choosing to not have a dragon in the list at least initially. My main reasoning for this is the fact that every single High Elf list I look at online has a dragon and I want to be different. I hope to get some images up on the site soon of the in progress figures as well as develop an army construction diary we shall see as of right now I am currently without a camera so image updates are a little hard.

In other news I have added some new links one being the podcast Podhammer which is currently the only podcast dedicated solely to Warhammer Fantasy. I have also added the blog of a reader who commented on my last story it is a blog dedicated to Warhammer and it can be found here.

Not much else going on here at the moment, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is now open so the buzz is picking up for the race. Personally I have some commission work to finish up as well as continued work on my High Elves.
