           New Trygon, April 7/10

           June 19/09, My Bio-titans for Epic Tyranids

Nefarius Clone from Rackham and the Dire Troll Mauler for Hordes.

Some of my old favorite Empire models, no new rules for the War wagon though. :(

Updated Jan.10/10: Happy New Year all, hope it's starting good for everyone, for me it's already been a great beginning playing lots of  games and enjoying
                                time with family and friends. My new Tyranid codex should be arriving in a week or so along with one of every new release especially the
                                Trygon which just looks awesome. I tried getting in a few last games with the present codex before I have to change up my army selection
                                again but from what I saw in the pre-release copy thay had at the Sentry Box I think I will like ti for the most part. To bad about the new
                                Beastmen though, the new plastic minotaurs look goofy and the replacement for the Shaggoth and Dragon Ogres sucks. I guess that army
                                will be going into storage unless I like the style of play presented in the Army book, I'll just continue to use the old models I have and in
                               order to use my favorite minis (Shaggoth and Dragon Ogres) I'll use my Beastmen as Warriors of Chaos and the Ungors as Marauders and
                               throw in one unit of excellent Chaos Knights (fantastic models) and play them like that. Other then that can't wait for Runewars, the new
                               Horus Heresy and play some of the new games I have like Claustrophobia.
Updated Mar.1/10 : Well I have been without a camera for a while but we finally picked up a new one, not sure if we like the picture quality yet but I plan on
                               taking some images of my new Tyranids and minis that I would like to showcase from my ever growing collection. Otherwise February
                               was a great month for gaming especially with the board games. I picked up lots of new ones and played them all and still got in some games
                               of Epic, Warmaster, 40K and Warhammer. There are still lots more new games coming out like the Battles of Westeros from FFG and
                               the new Kings and Things from Z-Man games who is bringing out dozens of new games. I have become a member of the Z-force for
                               Z-Man games so I run board game demos for the company since GW ditched their program last year. So far it's pretty cool and gives me
                               some extra funds to throw at my gaming hobby. So look for some new images soon.
Updated Apr.6/10 : I have started a Blog which I will use for more regular updates of  what's happening in our gaming life you can access it here.
                                Added some new images of the Trygon, Hive Tyrants, Carnifex's and Shrikes to the Tyranid page linked on the 40K page.
                                Also Dryads on the Wood Elf page and Gors plus Shaggoth on the Chaos/Beastmen page linked to the Warhammer page.
Updated May 16/10 : It's been a busy month since my last post, did some travelling and had family visiting so we didn't get to play a whole lot of games
                                here in my gaming den (basement room full of games and stuff) but still played plenty especially with my wife in Mexico. I have picked
                                up a few new games like Horus Heresy, awesome remake of an old GW classic and have already enjoyed four games with it. Also
                                At the Gates of Loyang from the designer of Agricola, looks good and I hope to try it this week. Alchemy the expansion for Dominion
                                which should also hit the table this week as well and Mystery Express from Days of Wonder and who dunnit game with great mechanics
                                and components. Till next time, have fun.
Updated June 4/10 : Not to much of an update, just added a few more links to music I have been listerning to at the top of this page. New games include
                                Nuns on the Run, At the Gates of  Loyang and next week I should have my copy of the Collectors edition of War of the Ring my
                                favorite 2 player game, looking forward to it.
Updated June 27/10 : Well I got my copy of War of the Ring Collectors Edition and have played it twice already both times as the Shadow player. It looks
                                fantastic and is just a pleasure to play. I won the first game but that was against Spencer who has never played the game before and it
                                was with a military victory followed closely by corruption of the Ring bearers. The second game was with Devin who has played the
                                original version several times and he won with the destruction of the ring at 6 only 6 corruption points and I was at 7 military victory
                                points. What an excellent game, looking forward to many more plays. I also had the new Warhammer 8th edition rulebook in my
                                possesion for a couple of weeks and read through the major changes and some subtle changes to the rules. It will play quite differently
                                from previous editions but will still feel like Warhammer all the same. Till soon!~
Updated Sep.13/10 : So the summer has gone (not a very hot one) and it's back to a regular type schedule including running events again at the Sentry Box.
                                I took a little break from hauling my terrain boxes to the store but am glad to get back at it and last Saturday sure made it worth my while
                                with plenty of gamers showing up for both WH and 40K. I don''t think I will be running a tournament this year but I am already planning
                                to organize Warlord's Challenge again with Armageddo-con 8 and Magicon 8 events as part of the line up sometime in April. In the
                                meantime I continue to work on several projects including my Lizardmen for Warmaster, High Elves, Wood Elves, Beastmen and
                                most likely Skaven for Warhammer, all armies I have had for years but need upgrading. Also some last touches on my Tyranids and
                                Tau for 40K and Eldar, Imperial Guard and Chaos for Epic. Still playing lots of boardgames weekly and adding many to my collection.
                                See you at the gaming table soon.
Updated Oct.2/10 : Well fall is upon us and finally some sun after all that rain this summer, but makes for some beautiful autum colors though. Got my Island
                               of Blood box set, put all the awesome mini's together and getting ready to paint them all. I already have both armies the High Elves being
                               one of my first back from 4th edition WH box set. These will be great additions to my army and also all the new plastic Elf stuff that just
                               came out. The new Dark Eldar are fantastic IMO, designed by my favorite designer Jes Goodwin, I'll be sure to update my existing DE
                               army with many of the new minis. Especially the Raiders since the old ones were way to fragile and hard to transport always breaking.
                               Plenty of new board games as well including Death Angel the new Space Hulk card game from FFG, Defenders of the Realm, Dungeon
                               Quest and The Swarm. Back to painting and playing see you at the gaming table soon.
Updated Oct. 25/10 : Well it's still October, 2 updates in one month, well it's been a busy one at that with Fallcon and several other family events. Lots of
                               gaming as usual and added more games to the collection incuding, Hansa Teutonica, Castle Ravenloft, Invasion from Outer Space,
                               Death Angel and others.
Updated Dec.7/10 : Soon another year will come to a close and we enter a new decade of change and hope. It has been an interesting year with lots of new
                              games and music to enjoy. We have a regular group of friends that come every week for games and also many out of town which has
                              made the hobby all that much better. Although tons of new games are being published all the time I am being more picky about which
                             ones I add to the collection. Also we've seen the demise of Rackham, truly one of the best gaming companies in the last decade but not
                             managed properly. Such a shame since I really like their games and the miniatures, some of the best in the world. Hopefully the company
                             or at least the games will come back to the market in the near future, if not I will continue to enjoy the likes of Hybrid, Confrontation and
                             AT-43. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and  fantastic New Year. See  you at a gaming table soon.  Robert
Updated Jan.18/11 : Well we've started 2011 already and so far I think it will an interesting year. Gaming wise there are lots of new products coming out and
                            some that have perished, like Rackham and sounds like Ellisis a company trying to meld miniature gaming with electronics is also folding.
                            But GW is going strong, FFG is delivering lots of new stuff, Z-Man contiunues to produce game after game and the Z-Force program
                            seems to be working well and providing me with some extra gaming products for running some demo's for some really great releases. I
                            look forward to lots of miniature games myself and want to get Man O' War back to the table as well as some other older titles. I still
                            run GW events at the Sentry Box and plan to run a large tournament in April or May. Painting wise I need to motivate myself more but
                            it's something I can pick up and do anytime.
Updated April 7/11 : What can you say about some of the new releases from GW other then wow especially the Sphinx for the Tomb Kings. I have left
                           that army buried in it's case for years, haven't even tried it with the latest 8th edition but finally with a new army book and lots of great
                           new mini's ouit it comes. Not everyone likes the Dreadknight for the Grey Knights but I think it's actually quite good and even tempted
                           to pick one up since I do have an old metal unit of GK Terminators and regular GK squad as well. I did pick Araknarok for the Orcs
                           & Goblins, quite the imposing model, will be fun to paint. Other wise still gaming lots and running my regular bi-weekly Satruday events.
Updated Sep.17/11 : Well it's been a while since an update, so what's new? Been playing lots, mostly board games though like Gears of War which I also
                           started painting the mini's, will get some pics soon. Quarriors a dice building game, Rune Age, Quest a time of Heroes, a kind of pick your
                           own adventure game with a GM, Chaostle, although I haven't played it yet comes with a large board and castle pieces and is esentially a
                           race for the middle game whilst battling other heroes to get there. I picked up a Necrosphinx for the Tombkings and started painting it and
                          can't wait for the new Dreadfleet game from GW. A Man O War release sort of, great looking minis which I could use for MOW and I
                          am sure the new rules will be good. Otherwise there are still several titles I am waiting for like Blood Bowl Team manager, the Runawars
                          expansion, Rex and Wiz-war all from FFG. I will try and update a little more regular and hopefully I'll see you at a gaming table sometime.
Updated Nov.16/11 :  Well it's been another 2 months and much has happened in my gaming world especially the new Necrons which so far I am very pleased
                           with and some of the new models are fantastic. I already picked up the Annihilation Barge and will soon get the Ark, update January 15/12,
                          I already got the ark and some characters. Had a couple of games, did ok against a Blood Angels army but not so good in a mega battle vs.
                          the Orks (actually my own army used by my friends). I still like the new Necrons and will get the Stalker and Voidblaes when they come out.
                          The new Ghorgon (Cygor) model and Jabberslythe are awesome and my Beastmen will be getting these additions soon. Other then that the
                          New Year has started out with lots of gaming including Eclipse, Mage Knight the Boardgame and many more new games.
