Since my finances are abysmal, I do not purchase a lot of stuff for my own collection, using my hobby money to support my FLGs Challenges Games and Comics. To get my painting fix I paint miniatures and forces donated to the store over the year, or demo armies. This time I finished painting the Stormcast Eternal Skaventide Box Spearhead. While not the first Stormcasts I ever painted, I enjoyed doing these ones, and put some of my old skill into them.
The League of 500 has begun. I played two Boarding Actions games 10.4.2026 and won one and lost another. A good start for the League.
The League of 500 is an idea I had last year (were I ran it as League of 1000) at Challenges Games and Comics. The idea was imple, a relaxed but commited group of players playing ames at a certain point level for Warhammer 40000.
This year I am trying something new. I invetsted pretty heavily in making sure the store has one each of Boarding Action (not GW) and King of the Colloseum Setups. We are increasing to two each. Based on this, the new League will focus on 500 point Boarding Action, and 600 points King of the Colloseum V2 games.
The League will start in October and run to December. Players self-pace, and the goal is to play games and rank points. I bought the Warhmmer 40000, Black Library Art book as a Prize, and the store will scrounge up some participation prizes and 2-3rd place ones. Everybody is excited.
I will be running my Helix of Renewal, Death Guard force. This is mainly the figures Onur gifted me (minus poxwalkers) plus two random figures to use as Chaos Spawns, and my three 3d printed Death-Shroud Terminators.
I noticed that my last post on the blog was in June. So what is up? Generally I am ok but I had a busy summer. For the last three months I have been volunteering to help Challenges Games and Comics , my local game space, move locations. This effort has taken an inordinate amount of time and muscle work, and while it has been getting there, it will also devour September. Most of my hobby time has been devoted to this project. The retail space is more or less done, so the effort is on the game room. I have not had many games in this period. I did finish my Greek WW2 forces for Bolt Action, and played a game, and we also did a game of Boarding Actions with Khyaman. My goal is to make sure the game room is fully servicable by October. The cost of this, plus my summer teaching load, is that many projects I had promised both hobby-wise and reserach wise were failed by me.
