Well I got the idea of having my own model fund to track my expenses based on the Lone Pilgrim's Site. That way I can "save" up on my modeling and hobby purchases and to stop me from just splurging on everything.
So at the end of the year 2008 this is my Model Fund report:
End of Year Report 2008
Hobby Fund.
-- the amount from savings = 21,594.61
-- the amount from figures sold = 5,800.00
============
27,394.61
-- new warhammer products bought = 7,020.00
-- new boardgames sold = 10,340.73
-- new Airsoft Gun bought = 3,000.00
============
-20,360.73
NET AMOUNT 7,033.88 -> coming in 2009
Obviously I bought more non miniature stuff than I probably should have. The
quick gaming fix I am actually getting it by playing boardgames specially the
"Last Nigh on Earth" and the "StarCraft"
Heres to this year though. It might actually be different this time around :D
Just my attempt at keeping progress on stuff that I paint and assemble WH40K, WHFB, Hordes and just about everything else gaming wise :)

MODELLING: Assembling yet more Orks
Well I was supposed to start painting the rest of the DH Inquisitor Retinue but the painting bug just wasn't there. So I merely did some modeling work with Exacto Knife and Needle File.
I was able to assemble the Mek with Shokk Attak Gun that I got from Paul waay back in October. Pinned the gun in place and placed him in a bigger base. I finished assembling the last DeathKopta from the AOBR set ( 3 more from the second box to go !!!) and added dreadnought sized bases on some of my Killer Kans.
I then started on taking out the plastic pieces from the different space ork models I have and placed them in the different bits boxes.. For the time when I feel like assembling them already.
Started as well on assembling the Ork Trukk but only got as far as assembling the wheels..
Lets see what I can do next week.
(Note: Interestingly I just discovered that my Nokia phone has a Sepang, Greyscale and a Negative view of the camera.... hmm maybe I should really get me a micro sd card for my
phone pics)

BATTLE REPORT: Space Orks Vs Eldar
Just when I thought I had no more games to play for the year than when Freddie plays me a game at ATC with his newly aquired Eldar Army.
What he had based on my bad memory
2 Farseers
Howling Banshees
PathFinders
Dire Avengers w/ Wave Serpent
Fire Dragons w/ Wave Serpent
Guardian Unit w/ Warlock and Scatter Laser
Guardian Unit w/ Scatter Laser
Guardian Unit w/ Scatter
The game was a Seize and Control with a Dawn of War setup.
We had rolled for who gets to decide who goes first. I win the roll and elect to go second.
He deploys his eldar jetbikes and dire avengers while I elect to deploy both of my 20 ork slugga squad and the the mec with forcefield on the center of the table near one objective.
Turn 1 had him come on the board attempting to shoot at my orks but were foiled by the night fight rules on turn 1. My 2 ork mobs weathered most of the fire and the big shootas on one squad managed to wittle the guardian squad that was in front of them.
My turn saw both trukks and the battlewagon on my right flank. The shoota boys, killer kans and dreadnought came in my center to support the 2 ork mobs there while the Looted Vehicle stayed on the left flank.
The center and left flank just peppered the guardian squads with ordnance and big shoota shots. My right flank saw my trukks shaken and its big shoota ripped off but stayed steady.
Freddies miscalculation had his dire avengers finally embarking on a wave serpent but I had gotten close enough with my nobs that I was able to assault and blow up the wave serpent.
My trukk with the warboss and the burna boys finally got destroyed but they went in near the pathfinders. They get jumped by the Howling Banshees but managed to fend them off.
This is when Freddie said it was time to go.. so he conceded and the game was done :)

BATTLE REPORT: Space Orks Vs Chaos Marines
I had used the same list as the last time when I played at the bunker, mainly because I was too pressed for time to hunt down my figs for another list.
Romy had.
Daemon Prince with Lash
10 Chaos Space Marines with meltaguns w/ Rhino
10 Chaos Space Marines with meltaguns w/ Rhino
10 Chaos space Marines with plasma gun and Las Cannon
1 Vindicator
Battle Area.
- Playing field was a 4x4 with most of the buildings on my table quarter ( we had played Annihilation yet again ) and his side mainly open. This would be initially unwieldy as I tried to move my units around and charge him in the open.
I had setup first but romy was able to take the initiative and started the game (curses)
Game Play.
A good movement and turn 2 Waagh had me up for points as my Warboss leading the Mega armour Nobs charged and wiped out the 10 Man Chaos Marines with the LasCannon while my other 20 Ork strong force disembarked from their immobilized BattleWagon ( I hate glances that manage to do that ) reached another 10 Man Chaos Marine squad and wiped them out.
The next remaining turns turned into frustration as Romy went for denial and had his remaining Squad and Daemon Prince run to the farthest corner. He was able to lash in successive turns the Warboss and Mega Armor nobz (after being pummelled by the Vindicator), wiped them out and proceeded to do the same to the ork nob that destroyed the Vindicator and the Burna Boyz.
My tankbustas and other units were unable to even destroy the two rhinos that were just milling around. My luck of being able to kill tanks but not transports continue.
He was thus up in Kill Points by my last turn on game turn 7. Fortunately I finally had my 10 ork shoota boyz on a trukk already which allowed me to barrel in, disembark and shoot the last chaos marine squad and wiped them out in close combat. This turned the entire game into a draw.
Funkyness :)

GENERAL: The Search for more space
Well after more than a day and a half of organizing all of my model stuff around the room and on the balcony. It still felt like that I didn't get to free up more space around the room. Oh well at least I more or less moved stuff around so that I know now where each army is supposed to be in. Well most of them anyway.
