Ironclad Warjack

Jason is painting a Cygnar Ironclad Warjack. Here is the first initial picture. It's been undercoated black, then based in blue (Space Marines Blue, if you are wondering!).

Privateer Press

There is a story about how years ago, Bill Gates was sitting in his office, and the internet had just really started, and Netscape was doing well, and he had an epiphany. The future WAS the internet. I had a much smaller epiphany the other day. It was that I needed to seriously sell Privateer Press's Warmachine game. I have little bits of it here and there, but the last two days I've gone all out working on the website, ebay, and Amazon on this stuff. So I'm excited about it. I even opened one of the Battle Boxes (Cygnar) and started painting the minis inside. I actually had time to do that today as I got to the office very early, like before 7:00.

So expect some big things from this cool game.

Meanwhile, Worldwake is coming February 5th, and we did indeed sell out of our first run, and we're still wondering when we are going to get second wave product and how much. I wish I knew so I could start preselling. Hopefully I'll know soon. Working on getting more of first run if I can. I'm disappointed in Alliance Distributors for not putting me down for some when I talked to my rep there. Anyway, still selling Tyranids well, and game night happened again and now Asher is behind on TWO reports.

Okay, enough for tonight, Wednesday! Hope you have some good gaming going on!

Worldwake Sold Out

My first wave of Worldwake is sold out. Kind of cool, but kind of sad. I will be getting some second wave boxes as well, but I'm just not sure on the number or WHEN, which means I can't presell them to all you who missed out. We'll get you some as soon as we can!

So it's about 2 weeks till release date! February 5th! Exciting.

Until then we'll have to take some time to get some other things built up on the website (it's something we are ALWAYS doing) and take some time to relax and have some fun as well as work hard.

Good Morning - Thursday

So today is another day in the greatest store in the world in the greatest Job me and my employees can ever have. I believe, I have sold out of WORLDWAKE. Can you believe that? But I have. All my allocation is gone unless I can find more. I'm keeping my eyes open. I even had to raise my price at the end. I'll have to go look, but there might be a couple left, I'm not sure!

Tyranids

Friday I told you the new Tyranids came out for the Warhammer 40k game. If you aren't familiar with the game, think Aliens, from the movie. That's the Tyranids. So a host of new plastic models came out, that you can glue together then paint then use in the game. This weekend I built a Tyrgon, and then I built a Mawloc. This new set is one of the flat out coolest I've ever seen in the game. Period. It stands very tall, and is just freaking AWESOME. I then built a set of Gargoyles. The new set are plastic. Again, if you aren't familiar with Warhammer, the older models/miniatures were metal and had to be glued together with superglue and they never really stuck together. In fact, I HATE metal models, as they are so hard to glue together. So my metal set of Gargoyles was so hard to put together. Gargoyles have these wings, and it just sucked keeping them on. I still have them, though Caleb had to help me, and base coated them white and then washed them red, but never went beyond that point. So the new set is plastic and let me tell you a few things about it that are just cool. One, they are easy to build. Plastic is just awesome. Two, the models look just AWESOME. I can't say enough about them. Why use anything except for Gargoyles? I am going to build 100 of them. I think they are that cool. But I started with 10. Finally, the value is just awesome. 10 cool gargoyles for $29.00. It's just a steal of a deal.

Contrast that to the Ravener set.... The Raveners are $44.50. You get three models. They are cool models, no doubt... but $44.50? The Trygon which is this monstrosity of a figure, is $49.50. Why are the Ravener Broods so over priced? Ridiculously over priced. I have built three of them, and I'm going to end up building 9 total for my army, but... whew... they are way over priced.

So... you are asking yourself... where are the pictures of these models? Yes... I have taken the pictures... I just haven't uploaded them yet. That will hopefully happen today. Good gaming my friends!

Tuesday Night Warhammer Report

I promised you Asher's report last week, and here it finally is! Note that they played again tonight, so... there is probably going to be another report soon! We'll try and keep you updated on these things better! Good Gaming!

Warhammer 40K battle report for 1/12/10

In Last nights game there was three 750 point armies pitted against each, the Imperial Guard owned/played by myself Asher, the Tau Empire Owned/played by Riley, and the Mighty Space Marines being played by Jimmy. In the Campaign that Jimmy’s dad James has thought up each army started with no upgrades at all. According to however many kills and combats a chosen commander from each army got, points for upgrades were awarded.

So basically each army gets stronger every week.

The Imperial Guard had first turn followed by Space Marines then Tau. For first turn the Imperial Guard sent a Huge Conscript Squad towards the Tau, Eliminating a whole fire warrior squad, and then followed shock troops and Thirteen mortar barrages upon Riley’s crisis battle suit teams. Though the Imperial Guard fought hard this first turn, in the end the overall casualties were few for the Tau.

Next came space marines, a 10 man squad of terminators teleported up the battlefield to the sniper scouts with the teleport beacon. Followed by the remaining space marines slowly trudging across the battlefield, sadly never to actually see combat. Next the tau moved there battle suits up to deliver a deadly blow to some of the Imperial Guard’s Shock Troops, and the Commander and his squad, making his squad turn to run, and slaughtering the other squad completely. In this campaign if your army’s commander dies you automatically loose, so if my commander had run off the board I would have lost. Thankfully at the beginning of my turn I rallied him and he was able to stay and direct another barrage of mortars towards the Tau commander, unlucky for my Guard, the Tau had 2+ armour saves and saved every time. After that my shock troops tried to take out the commander and once again the 2+ Armour save deflected all my shots. Next the SM Terminators moved in closer to the Tau to try for an assault but were too far away. On the Tau turn Riley redirected his battle suits towards the terminators and was able to kill two of the powerful enemies. The start of Turn 3 welcomed Yet another barrage of Mortars on the battle suits and this time actually inflicted two wounds upon the deadly Tau. Because Shock Troops and Conscripts were out of range they remained, for the most part, useless. Next the Space Marines, in fear of the Tau, attempted to teleport away but it wasn’t far enough for the Tau. On Riley’s turn his battle suits successfully took out another 2 Terminators. By that time it was past our time limit and we wrapped up the game. It was determined that Riley and his Fearless Tau had done the most damage points wise and was crowned the champion of this Battle. Though the numerous Imperial Guard were unsuccessful this time, Next time They will summon even more hordes of heavy weapon teams and hey, maybe even a tank or two…Till Next time folks!!!
