40K 2nd Edition Army Challenge II - Complete!

Reinforcements!

Still trying to figure out what makes me filled with more nostalgic glee, the hazard stripes on the chainswords or the hazard stripes on the Terminator's power fists?

Spaceships Are Not Supposed To Be This Close Together Part XIV

 Armada Edition!



I finally got to try Star Wars Armada recently and really enjoyed playing the game.  Much more of a strategic game than the X-wing Miniatures game, Armada gives you a fleet of Star Wars ships to control.  If you have ever wanted to send your squadrons of Tie Fighters to deal with those pesky rebel X-wings or if you have always been dreaming of leading your daring rebel Y-wings on a bombing run versus a Star Destroyer than this is the game for you.  It has an interesting mechanic for the larger capital ships: the bigger the ship, the more turns in advance you have to plan out your orders that determine how the ship will move each turn.  I think my favorite part was having large "armies" (fleets) to play with rather than the small scale dogfights of X-wing.  Thanks for reading and stay safe out there.

Inquisitional Conclave Weeks 3-4

 Tharok Radron, Ordo Malleus



THings are moving along well on my entry for the Inquisitional Conclave.  My inquisitor has a name and I have settled on the classic 2nd edition Hand Flamer as his pistol weapon of choice.  What better weapon for cleansing with fire the many enemies of the Emperor?  Be sure to check out all the fun over at the main site for the challenge, the excellent Neverness Hobby Chronicles.
