Heralds of Ruin Round Two

In the past two weeks I have played a game of 40k, two games of Kill team with an awesome group of new faces, and Dungeon Mastered my very first two games of D&D.

Operation: Human Shield

I challenged a local player at the club to a 1500pts 40k no-holds-barred throw-down. He mentioned preparing for an up-coming tournament that he wanted to take his sisters to.

Heralds of Ruin Round One

I'm back from the front-lines, and I can say that the kick-off to the Kill Team campaign was a success. Eight combatants signed up for a total of four pairings per round. Ten showed up, but two decided not to commit after discovering the 10 dollar fee.

Kill Team Leaders Square off before they throw down.

Warband Games

I have finally finished painting the starting lineup for the Marienburgers. Up to this point you've seen the five unique characters. It's been a long road to this point, and looking at the remaining 10 or so primed M-burgers is daunting in the truest sense of the word. It is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to the four henchmen: Estelle, Susan, Newman & Costanza.

Evil Space Pooches

Yesterday was my better halve's birthday so it was an official no-toy-production day, but today is a new day!

On my last trip to Hairy Tarantula I was invited to an upcoming Heralds of Ruin kill-team campaign. Having quite the extensive Black Legion collection, and recently gobbling up the small warband games, I could hardly resist. 

An hour of reading and re-reading the Chaos team-list revealed that team leaders could take a chaos hound as a piece of wargear. This lead to a painting spree this morning which ended in these evil space pooches: 

Hairy Tarantula Round Two

Okay okay okay. I get it. I have a problem. So what?

I've plunged into the depths of Hairy Tarantula's miniature hoard yet again. I have finished sifting through every last one of their blister-pack-filled boxes. By the time I had finished I had been to the washroom three times to wash my hands due to the immense amount of dust coating these hidden gems. A good portion of my haul was produced before 1995, a couple of them (the Dwarves) dating back to 1986.

I left with a total of 25 pewter miniatures from a collection of old, dead miniature companies such as leviathan, Inferno, Celtos, Adiken, Ral Partha and Confrontation. I paid a total of $41 dollars. Am I taking crazy pills?

Surprise!!!!

Terrain on a Budget

Today my old lady dragged me to Value Village to hunt for soap making molds (dafuq??). Needless to say she didn't find anything nearly that specific at the second hand store, but I did find this masterpiece:
