Its been some time!

Well, I am ashamed to say I totally dropped this for a few months. School got underway and well....time flew off on the earliest plane out.

Next semester though should see some more time available for all the things I like better than school. The 17th Adventus has grown somewhat out of control, much like a grey, plasticy cancer. I have a box of running torso's in the back of my car that need to be finished. This combined with the starting of a new game I have come to really enjoy, Infinity.

This little jewel of a miniature game popped up about 5 months ago out at FTW Gaming in Richmond. I really liked the manga inspired style and meant to start it, but finances and time was tight so I simply got a starter box of Aleph and that was that. I went through a training game though just recently and really enjoyed the system they created. You dont simply stand by while one person acts. You need to be actively apart of all turns as your forces can react to the enemy. Something I havent seen in another miniatures game, and something that really makes this game tactical.Running across an open space in the board can, and probably will, get that model killed.

My Imperial Guard army on the other hand has been busy winning. I have come in 2nd at two Rogue Traders since the last post. Always close to first, but relying on Reserves has the side effect of always haveing that "one game". I hope to get some new pictures up of the IG I have created over the last few months, along with some more info on Infinity.

Until next time, peace.

I return

I return to the ability to blog some more lately. Finally have internet and a working router. I also have completed my first set of five rough riders! They have turned out fairly well and seemed to fit nicely. I will post pictures at a later date, but currently I am happy with them.

I look forward to posting some new battles and creations at later dates.

(Fluff) Sacrifices

~Part 2 of "One Bad Day"

Thunder crashed, and the wind howled as Kensin, Rin, Grenor, Yosen, Wit, and the unconscious Elrin hunkered down in the small alcove. They found this alcove just below the ledge they had come to several hours ago, trying to get to the outposts of the now burning city below them. They sat together quietly; all of them wondering what should be done now.

Upcoming storm

Well, a lot of stuff is going on this week for me. I am finishing up my summer internship, packing, and getting ready to move into my new apartment with folks this friday. As such I dont really have a lot of money to spend on the hobby, ergo no new models coming out for a little while. I probably will not be posting much either this week, as I finish up the project here I am on in my internship.
So, lots of stuff goin on, luckily for me, all good. I look forward to getting back to my modelling though as I cant wait to get to those Rough Riders I want to create. I guess I will just have to wait!

(Character/Fluff) Major Kris Konin

Age: 66
Rank: Major, Color Sergeant
Biography:
Major Konin is a gritty, scarred man and one of the few left in the regiment that remembers Adventus before the Fall. A stolid man of few words, what he does say is often taken with great thought.

More Pics!

I have been organizing my pictures on photobucket, figuring out what pictures still need to be taken, and what pictures are available. Heres a few more that I found that are available.
