Bat Rep: Gaming Weekend Game 1 - 2k Nids vs. Space Marines and Orks

As a warmup to Saturday's big game, we decided to have a 2 on 2 game, with 1,000 points each. A local friend, John, jumped at the chance to play. John used to play, but didn't know anyone else who did when he moved, so when he's free to play, he borrows my Orks as his preferred army. We made the decision to have the bugs take on allied Orks and Space Marines.

Gaming Weekend: The Final Push

It's finally here. It's been a long time coming, and yet, this week has flown by. I didn't nearly get as much as I would have liked accomplished. I didn't finish my terrain projects, I didn't even finish basing my Ork Warboss who has been begging for the final, finishing touches to join the ranks of the completed for over a month. 

Even so, without completing every goal (or just about any of them if I'm being honest), I am excited for this weekend. I am fortunate to have a chance to reconnect with college friends over a game from my childhood. I'm also blessed to have a wife indulgent enough to allow three grown men to have a giant slumber party in her house without complain.

A Storm is Brewing....

The runes have been read, and the signs of nature have been interpreted, and it doesn't look good.  With a Hive Fleet only two days out, The Great Wolf has called upon the Stormcaller to lead his second force against the Tyranid horde.  Njal has a few tricks up his sleeve and is bringing a force that includes some Iron Hand brethren that were training in a nearby sector.  It appears that there will be a few Pyskers on the battle field, some of the Old Wolf's Long Fangs, and the Space Wolf Stormtalon made by the Iron Hands to repay an ancient debt.

The Wolves are on the March

The Wolves are on the March:

Only 3 days until the Vlka Fenryka have an epic showdown against the mighty Tyranids.  The might of Fenris is mobilizing under the watchful eye of their leader, the Great Wolf, Logan Grimnar.  With Evan and our other friend bringing a combined force of Tyranids tallying 4000 points, I have been put in charge of getting 4000 points of Space Wolves ready for the fight.  

Wolf Works: Circuit Creation

With our last post, we got all of the materials needed for creating a LED circuit.  The next step is learning how to create a working circuit to get your desired effect and bring your model to the next level. 

So just like the rest of Warhammer 40K, let’s get into some MATH.  These calculations are important because one number, one miscalculation, or one little error can cause issues that are going to drain batteries, drain resources, and waste money.  Trust me; I have blown plenty of LEDs, drained batteries, and wasted solder and wires unnecessarily.  Hopefully, my mistakes will help you avoid making the same mistakes.  Remember, with miniatures, mistakes generally lead to more money being spent.

Gaming Weekend Prep Update

We're in the home stretch and I honestly haven't gotten as much done as I would have liked. I should get a little more hobby time this week than last, but still not much. We'll be getting started on Friday evening, and I have conflicting events Tuesday and Thursday. This gives me two nights to get as much done as possible.

Other Games - MYTH Kickstarter

Forgive me for a little diversion from topics about 40k, but I wanted to give a little shout out to MYTH, a Kickstarter that is ending in a few days for a game that I am very excited for:
