GENERAL: Trying to get back on track

Well this April has been zero activity for me hobby wise. Not that I am complaining (well a little bit), I had a very action packed month with personal and good family time in there. And hopefully I can save up again and do the same thing next year :)

But now that April (and the funds) are ending it's time to get back on track hobby wise. I think the best thing way for me to get back into painting is to force myself to paint and what good way to do it than having to finish stuff for an upcoming event / tournament.There are two that are scheduled: A kill team League and a Fantasy Tournament in memory of Jojo Dalamias (jojobrets in the forums)

Kill Team
- Well after I failed to join the Kill team LAST year the models have more or less stayed unimproved. With the League starting by mid May maybe this time I can get to finish the models that have been spray bombed. I will still use the same list.. except for maybe I should instead of using Burna Boyz get to use Lootas instead. That would make me use this list then:

Ork List One 

  • 5 Loota Orks ( 2 are Meks with big shootas, 1 regular Mek)
  • 9 Shoota Boyz 
  • 1 Nob with big shoota, heavy armour, Big choppa
  • 10 gretchin
  • 1 slaver

Alternatively I can go for something else but then my whole attempt is to be able to finish at least something new that I haven't done painting yet. Will see.

Fantasy Tourney


A dear friend and gaming community member Jojo Dalomias (aka jojobrets) died because of a work related accident. He was always a good person to talk to.. full of life and truly passionate about the hobby. Always wanting to get a game in with you before he had to ship out again..

You will be missed bro
That gives me a total of 4 people that I know that were passionate about the hobby and have moved on... Well as what I would like to happen when its time to kick the bucket there would be a 2000 point Fantasy tournament to be done in his name.

O course I haven't even had a game of fasntasy 8th ed .. still now could be a good time to learn then..

So that should be my focus for the month of May. Get ready some Kill team models and get ready a fantasy army. This should be easy. (cough cough cough)
