GENERAL: Finished Reading Prospero Burns

Finally finished reading this while staying at home watching over my baby daugther. It is an interesting tale of the battle for Prospero from the other side of the fence. How the Wolves were the Executioners and the last line of defence of the Emperor of Man and what they had to do they had no choice in the matter.

How Chaos manipulated them all was intriguing. How the two brothers were set against each other.

I wonder if I would be reading more of Hawser in some future Black Library books. I wonder if Russ heard Hawsers tale and accepted what happened as being manipulated by the forces of Chaos. I wonder..

Anyway off to backtrack and read the First Heretic now.

BOARD GAME : SMASH UP !!!

Well not really a board game but a card game, anyway after watching the Youtube video by Whil at TableTopGaming and looking at the reviews went out and bought this last Friday. After a Company Basketball game I got to bring this and have a game at the Shakk and had a blast.

Manage to play 3 games with me not getting a win in. The first game was a Dinosaur-Zombie win then a Wizard-Ninja win and the last was a Zombie-Ninja win.  

I actually like the game. Perhaps it is the geek in me that likes to combine the different (stereotypical perhaps? ) factions and combine them for world domination. It is light and fast enough that even non-hardcore games can play this and have fun. 

I am going to save up and get that Awesome Power 9000 expansion eventually. Not too keen on the Cthulu expansion yet, the additional Madness deck feels that it needs to be played with only Cthulu factions and not mix with the other expansions. Will see.

2013: State of the Spawning Ground Address

Wow how fast time flies. It is already the 2nd half of the year 2013 and I still have not reviewed my past years Hobby life. Let us rectify that a bit shall we. 

2012 on a personnal note went to a very big dive in the middle of the year (June to be exact) and stayed there for a while until I managed to rebound in October. As such my hobby plans ground to a halt during that time and beyond. So let us be more specific ...

Last year I made a couple of commitments (link to previous thread) So how did I fare? Let us check:

PAINTING: DREADBALL TEAM "Toyoda Destroyers" Complete

Finally a painting update.

Finished the initial 8 man team for the Marauder Dreadball team. My "Toyoda Destroyers" are complete. The mold lines were weird (and hard) to remove. Did a couple of things wrong with the painting but the team does look good from 3 feet away X).

Now I need to paint the Corporation team this time ( Crizpa Knights) and then I should be able to Varnish all of them in one go.
