Wow! It has been a long time

It is really hard to believe it has been almost 3 years since my last posting. So much has happened since then, several moves, new jobs and health issues. Sadly very little painting, and the pile of shame (opportunities) continues to grow. However this is a new year, with new projects and possibilities.

Since then so many cool games and miniatures have been released. I am looking forward to completing these projects.

Iona Starkiller

Hasslefree has awesome miniatures, great for role playing and such. However this one just screams Warhammer 40k.  The stance, detail and look, Iona Star killer definitely screams Aeldari.  I wish that Games Workshop would occasionally provide stats for outstanding figures created by other manufacturers. I know that this would violate many laws, business principles and open a Pandora’s Box of IP issues.  However it would be so cool for them to say “Hey this miniature so fits into our IP, that we acknowledge the craftsmanship and would like it to be a part of the 40K Universe.  If ever there was a miniature that would adopted, I feel that Iona would be that miniature.  

40K Kill Team 2018

I mentioned before, my hobby is pretty stagnant and I am working revitalizing my drive.  In the past it was so daunting to paint an entire 40k army, multiple vehicles, Troops and Headquarters.  I would usually burn out and stop painting. In addition I had always like the skirmish level games, primarily for the cost of entry and secondary the time it took to play a game.  I started playing 40K with the original 1987 Warhammer 40K, Rogue Trader.  So in July when Games Workshop re- re-released 40K Kill Team, I was encouraged to start again.  I think the smaller squad sizes will help me get started and transition into the larger armies.  Not mention I can assemble 14 of the 16 factions, several time over. I think I will start with my first love; the Eldar, Aeldari or the Asuryani from the Craftworld.Ulthwe’.
