Humboldt War Hammers

So I've been convinced that I should start blogging my terrain construction efforts. After building several smaller pieces, I've decided to undertake construction of my dream table...or at least my first stab at it. It's starting out as a modular city board, with four 2 foot by 2 foot squares. I'll likely add two more squares after I finish the first four, so that I'll have a full 4x6 table.

The table will have a canal running through two of the boards (for a goo...

So today, Michael played me my first game of Warhammer 40k in 10 years. Necrons vs Space Marine Salamanders 1500 pt game. First Round Michael obliterates my Monolith and I just get horrifically raped from then on. I finally immobilze 1 of his tank transports and out pops his terminators and his captain. He then proceeds to save volley after volley from my near 40 warriors. He softens them up some more with tank fire then casually steps over the still twitching bodys of my necrons to assault t...

So I been plugging away at my Necron army. Got them out of my battle box breaking them out of there moldings, shaving them with a exacto knife, filing down ruff spots, and wondering what the hell I have got myself into. I look at my desk and see primer, paints, brushes, paper towels, plastic bits, a dremil tool, and other items. I continue to work on the small bits of my army as my common sense screams at me to take a break but I must finish my army. My creation must LIVE!

So I had a good sized Necron Army drop into my lap two weeks ago. The condition of the models was just....sad. The monolith had just gobs of what seems to be cheap PVA glue pouring out of each seam. The attempt to paint the model was, well, careless. For such an expensive model I was shocked to see it in such a poor condition. Anyway I've been spending the past few days rebuilding this force. I took the monolith completely apart by breaking all the glue seams. I broke away what I could of the...

The Plan:

  Hey all my name is Dave, Im 34 years old and am active duty Coast Guard. I have played this game for going on 12 years now. I origonally statrted out playing Imperial Guard and ammased nearly 5k point army. I later sold most of it off and purchased a friends Space Marine army. Over the years it has morphed itself from Ultra Marines to home grown chapter to Salamanders and now back to my own created chapter, Priory Scions. I love playing this game but hav...

well like the title says i got my ass knocked off, and served to me well done (and I like my ass rare!).

the nice part about it was that it was alot of fun, despite coming in deadlast. I learned that I have a long way to go. One big thing i learned was how LITTLE I know of the other armies, and how to kill them/whats important to them. I learned to pay more attention to the rules and the set up of each game (I made some crucial mistakes in set up i...

The Emerald Vise.  Pirate fleet of Tzeentch.  Each ship in the fleet is alowed to pray to whom they wish so long as a cut of all plunder is offered to the fleet AND to all mighty Tzeentch.  To this day the entire fleet has never engaged in a single slaughter.  Usually it's just the first to land who engage the enemy.  Slower ships staying with the fleet, waiting for a riper target.
