I did it

220 Undead minis inbound.
Now I just need to figure out which Heroes to get from GW.  I like this guy below and might just look for him to get started.  Man I am a little scared of all the zombie painting.

Undead army


So now that Grey Knights have been pushed back to March or whatever I have decided to take on a project I have always wanted to do.  I am going to start in on a true Undead Fantasy Army using the Mantic minis.  The minis look cool and for $120 I can get 80 Skeletons, 60 Zombies, 40 Ghouls, 40 Revenent knights.  That is more than enough to start basing a nice Vampire Count army around.  I plan on getting all the named Heroes and such from GW but like the idea of supporting these guys.  I also will get the new rules too so it might be a cool thing to try out.

I still have one last CSM project to finish: My nurgle Bikers but that should go fast.  Now I just need to scrounge up the money.  I have resorted to doing a couple User Experience studies to make it happen which makes me feel a little cheap.

been sucked into World of Tanks

Since I am about to hit 300 battles in World of Tanks I can now solidly say that I love the game.

If you like tanks at all (who doesnt) and like to blow shit up, this is a great game.  The only caveat is that the game is brutal.  I got to ask the developers about it at GDC Online and they just explain it this way:  "Hey we are Russian, we have no problem getting killed over and over again in order to figure something out." I hope Americans dont puss out and get scared off when they get rolled starting out.

If you grab the game throw me a holler.  I am Astrothumps in there.

The Storm Raven looks rad

Can't resist

New army bandwagon

I have resisted the temptation to go Space Wolves since that bandwagon has left the building.

But I have decided to start saving pennies to jump on the GK bandwagon as soon as it hits.  I would love to have a couple Storm Ravens, the new Plastic GKs and actually Assassin squads :).

Getting ready for 2k tourney

Game Kastle is hosting a 2000 point tourney this weekend and I am pretty excited.  This will be my first 2k tourney and hopefully my CSMs do well.

I am resting the girls this time and have decided to go with the Original BadAss himself: Abaddon.  So this is the list:
Abaddon
DP with Lash/wings
1 Termie Champ with Cfist and cmbiMelta with 3 Termies Icon of Tzeen, 2 combiMeltas in
Land Raider with Extra Armor.  This is where Abaddon will ride.
1 CSM 10 man squad in Rhino 2 meltas with Champ with pfist
1 CSM 10 man Lascannon, melta with Champ with pfist
1 CSM 10 man Lascannon, plasma with Champ with pfist
3/2 Obliterator squads

Small army but hopefully Abaddon gets some action.  I am hoping to match up with some armies where Abaddon can truly shine.  But even if I get destroyed at least I will get to make a run at having the ultimate badass.
