Warpfire is a go!

So I managed to get the swap shift at work for the Saturday of the tournament.

Went something like this - "Umm, yea (managers name), remember about a week ago when I talked to you about possibly... uhh, yea, maybe... getting a swap shift with (other dudes name) on the 14th of Sept? (Manager) "Awww yea, should be right, you've done me a few favors, so I don't see why not"

Two months of six day working weeks... Yes, I have in fact done you, a 'few' favors... Anyways, really chuffed about it and I finally get to do something wargaming wise. So I got two lists in mind

Fun.

One more Dwarf army on the march to Warpfire.

Or...

29 Warriors-315

24 Hammerers-320

Cannon-125
Forging

I like the first one better in my opinion, more bodies, fat ass blocks, and at 1k points... AINT NOBODY dealing with them.

And yes, there will always be a cannon... with forging... GET OVER IT! :D

Also about to place an order for some American 105mm Howisters and an Armoured Rifle platoon for my bro's FOW army which he's "paying me back" for at some point... god knows when but whatever, its awesome to play wargames with your bro and argue over the rules lol.

I'm back... for now

Hey guys, not getting to much done in the modelling or wargaming section, 6 day shifts really start to put a halt on other projects, the one day off see's me sleeping or getting ready for the next weeks of work. Trying my best to get stuff going, painting and building wise. Also trying to get a day off (swap shift) to get to warpfire, but finding that difficult to.

Was planning on bringing something like this

Not sure if its a 'fun' army or not, but then again people would just argue that Dwarfs aren't fun and yada yada. I'll tell you right not there will be a few people who will bring not 'fun' armies that just slip by the veto's and argue that its fluffy as f*** and make a bunch of excuses but whatever, I'm just ranting now lol

And besides... I only brought on cannon and no organ guns, I mean, how fluffy and underpowerd can I be without putting a 20kg weight on my own balls and wagging them around saying Free Shots.

Simon :D

Some finished Rams and current look at FoW army

If you didn't notice, my 6pdrs and 25pdrs came in so there in there to.

Mind you the finish Rams are a bit glossy, haven't varnished them yet which should dull down the shine.

Call to Arms sounded like a very good weekend. Congrats to Sam C, Sam W and Pete D for the podium spots on the fantasy field.... there stories would have been different if I showed up... with higher scores I mean. lol

FoW stuff in!

Forgot to take pics of the Canadian Dice set but the models and book are the important thing. Unfortunately the Royal Arillery Platoon was out of stock so on my next paycheck I'll just have to order them by blister packs.

Flames of War

Sorry for not posting in a while, just worked 45 hours for my first week which was good, but didn't have time for much else

Quick update, bought loads of Flames of War stuff with some of my first paycheck as you do as a wargamer it seems!

1 Brit Infantry Platoon
1 Brit Infantry Company Command Team
6 Ram Kangaroo tanks
Brit Artillery Platoon (4 25pdrs including Command, Staff and Observer)
Market Garden Book
Canadian Dice & token set

So lots of stuff to build and paint which is good, my current list looks likes this

Canadian Infantry Company (Late War - 1750pts) - (Market Garden Book)

HQ-30
Infantry Platoon, Ram Kangaroos, .50 Cals-225

Also, my Centaurs came in so I'll build those and post some pics!

No Call to Arms :(

Hey guys, some good news, other then the title... lol. I found a job, HOORAY! But unfortunately, I'm working the Saturday of the tournament, I don't feel like it would set a good impression if I asked for a day off already so unfortunately I'm going to have to miss oot this time, I'm really disappointed because CTA is my favorite tournament which sucks, but I knew at some point I would to miss one at some point...

At least I found job... which screws me lol

In other non-wargaming news, I applied for the Territorial Reserves (nice and early) in November for some extra cash and a different experience, so I'll be playing real soldiers for a 8 weeks.

Also, ordered my Centaurs 2 days ago so hopefully they get in on Saturday of next week!

Hobby Update

Just a quick update lads.

1. Almost finished painting my unit of hobgoblins, well they are all painted just needing to be based, will post some pics once I base them :D.

2. Ordered my Bull Centaurs from Mantic, got 10 of them for 55 bucks which includes shipping so not bad at all. However, I though they came on the correct bases, turns out they don't :L (you were right Sam) so I cut some 3mm MDF out for 6 bases 

Also on a side note; getting some more practice games in with my CD's which is always good, the count is 4 games post Horned Gobbo. I want to get it up to 12 or even more before Call to Arms which is reachable. Tuning the CD list, I'm happy with the current one. I won't post it now because, lie I said before, it's still in the tuning stages but I should hopefully have the concrete one soon.
