30th January 2016 Grand Day Out

Only just been to blooming Warhammer World again today, this time we took a mate who has never been before, after I had to ring him to wake him up that is. Drive down through miles of empty road works that are still in place ftom last year, chatting about various things, met the others that had agreed to play in this game down there, and after several hours it was called and the nids had done most of the heavy work by claiming 4 of the 8 objectives and the Guard had 1 more. Photo heavy

Off To Warhammer World Tomorrow!

With the big game on the 30th and me out for tequila, beer and curry tonight I packed up my army ready for the 7am start tomorrow.
So what does 2500 points of Harlequins look like?
First photo up at the top is Cegorachs Finest, this is the Cast of Players formation

Next up is the Star Players, again using The Cast Of Players formation

The Heroic Dead

Troupe Milliner

The Brides Of Lazarou

Skyweavers Zero Gravitas

Skyweavers Size Isn't Everything

Voidweavers of The Diplomatic Corps

And the Solitaire from an earlier photo op, making Cegorachs Revenge Formation, I think I gave the Solitaire Cegorachs Rose and a Troupe Master Crescendo as well
So 2500 points gives me 36 + 14 + 7 + 1 troops, 4+ 4 Skyweavers and 3 Voidweavers. So 69 minis on the table, I might just out number the Grey Knight player...

Inspired By A 6 Word Story

Every now and then I try my hand at writing something, usually after something snags in my sub conscious and it'seems the best way to work it out. Today on Facebook there was a post asking for your 6 Word Story and mine was "She read her obituary with confusion", so far over 145 people have liked it and couple have asked for more so I at first posted the following there, and then I though why not share it here as well? Not sci-fi, nsfw, not finished.

There was the letter box again, not the morning paper boy that little twerp just threw the paper, no this one came threw the letter box in the door, every day for the last 2 weeks the newspaper for the tomorrow landed on her door mat at 6.50pm. At first she'd thought it an odd joke until the next morning. She'd even gone as far as ringing the paper to get the printers number and ringing them to see if someone that worked there was randomly putting an early copy threw her door, the exasperated printer had said
"Look love, I'd sell a kidney to have the papers printed by 5pm, but the drunks at head office haven't sobered up from lunch time enough to get a full paper out by 5 o'clock". This worried her in many ways.
The head line today was about a train wreck, on the line she used to go to work. Horrified she read the article finding out the names of knock off beat earphones man, pregnant lady, smelly business man, slick bastard and dog hair kid and then her name
'The body of Sally Harris was found to have been thrown from the train, but she hadn't been dressed for work.'
Sally looked at the article and read it again and again feeling dizzy and nauseous as she read it a fourth time.
"What the fuck?" Escaped from her lips. She poured over the article again looking for details of the crash itself just a vague paragraph about an obstacle on the line near a station.
"Can I change this?" She thought, "can I stop it happening ?"

Bulletin 25/01/16

Monday 25 January 2016
THE RETRIBUTION TO COME!

Today’s bulletin in going to be short but sweet. Why? Because a picture is worth a thousand words and I’m so excited I can barely type!

Hot off the presses, take a look at what arrived in the Forge World Studio today...


I only managed to get a quick look inside, but it is absolutely packed with Legion rules, units, rights of war and more. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, and I’m told that a limited number should be available at The Horus Heresy Weekender. Don’t worry if you’re not going to be at the weekender though, I hear that The Horus Heresy Book Six - Retribution is expected to be released very soon after the event.

That’s all from me for now.
