Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas everybody! Lots of stuff going on here, as I´m sure will be the case with you. I will try and see if I write up a proper post tomorrow, but no promises! Holiday season isn´t the best season for bloggin, apparently. Anyway, for those of you who haven´t seen it, a little link to something I think you should all see. (Well, don't click it if you didn't like the Lord of the Ring films)

This is awesome!

Good, right? Can't wait for the movie to come out!

Anyway, have a nice few days, I hope you get all the gaming presents you wanted and bought some cool stuff to give away to others. Be kind and do good, and all that. Oh yes, and the most important, don't over eat!

Merry Christmas!

Game Night! postponed due to outburst of painting madness

Just a quick post to tell you that due to painting that I have had to do for tomorrow's tournament, today's episode of Game Night! will be delayed.

Not to worry, tomorrow evening / sunday morning I'll have the post up, with a report of the tournament as well as some other gaming goodies!

And just so you know: I have actually managed to finish the 50 Slaves, the 26 Stormvermin, and the Warp Lightning Cannon (almost forgot that one!) that I need for tomorrow's tournament! All that is left to do is the eyes on all the models and a highlight on all the red armour bits, but those can wait til after the tournament! And on the plus side, with 26 Stormvermin and a WLC already 90% painted, I'll have a very easy rest-of-the-month painting Skaven for the Tale!

Right, I'm off to bed! Here's hoping tomorrow's tourney goes better than the last one!

Comment updated

Quick maintanence post. I´ve addded a new way of commenting for this blog since I got a few complaints on how difficult it was to comment on here.

Anyway, this should be easier, so there´s nothing stopping anyone from commenting, should they want to ;)

Thunderstomp - Phase 2

I started this blog 2 months ago, more or less on a whim. I thought it would be fun and provide me with an outlet for all my Warhammer-related thoughts and ideas. Originally I planned on writing stuff whenever the mood struck me (which was at least every other day) about whatever I thought was fun to discuss. Basically trusting in my gamer's enthusiasm to see me through!

Recently though I felt I needed a bit more structure in my Blog to keep it from going stale. I've been posting mostly about painting (because that's what I've been doing) but I want this blog to be about more than just that. I don't know about you, but I can only look at so many pictured of WiP miniature soldiers :p
So, after a think I have decided to divvy up my posting according to a more or less set schedule! This way you guys will know a bit about what you can expect and it will help me think of stuff to write. Good all round, I'd say!

Anyway, here's what I have in mind:

<I'm changing these to cooler names as I come up with them, btw>

Exciting News!

After a busy weekend and some time to 'recover' I'm back to post more stuff! Have a few things planned for this week, including updates on my painting, campaign news, and some reviews for an Ogre unit or two (much like my Leadbelchers one). Plenty of stuff for those interested!

But I wanted to start with something really cool. Those who know me can tell you that I always get excited when new armies are released for either Fantasy or 40k. No matter which one it is, my initial reaction will always be: "Cool! I want it! Let's see what kinds of lists I can build with the new book!"
This always leads to me buying the new book and very often also to me buying one (or more) of the new kits.

So it won't come as a surprise that the following news got me really excited!

Apparently, GW is planning on releasing small army lists for (mostly) previously unreleased factions in the Warhammer World, including several kits and characters for each of them!

So far rumour has it they're planning to release no less than 5(!) factions over an as-of-yet undetermined period of time, but supposedly the first one will be released sooner than expexted (6 monts?).

The factions as they are known by the interwebz now are: Kislev, Araby, some kind of Insectoids, and something with pikes (Tilea?).

Kislev will unsurprisingly be the first one released. I say unsurprising because they have been released as a side faction before, and supposedly many of the older models will be re-released, although there's mention of new horses and a new ice sorceress!

Overall, I am very thrilled to hear this. Normally I wouldn't just repeat rumours on here, but I think that this, if true, is an absolutely wonderful idea by GW to explore the factions on the fringe of the Warhammer World and simultaneously release cool new stuff!

Can't wait for these releases!

Oh yes, almost forgot to mention the most important thing: these releases will not affect the release/updates of any of the established armies. So no need to worry!

Btw, all info comes from warseer. There's more info than what I posted here, but just check the link and you can see for yourself! The first post should be updated with new info as it becomes available, so keep an eye on that. I know I will!

Delayed Post

Damn Blogger App has eaten the post I planned on posting today. I had this beautiful battle review of the Ogres vs Greenskins battle ready, and now it's lost somewhere!
I guess I'll try it again tomorrow. Can't be bothered rewriting it today....
