Another Week... Another Rant!

Here we are, 16 days since my last post, and honestly not much has happened. I've half glued my Thousand Sons (and stabbed myself cleaning up the pieces), got flogged at the last games day (2 Heavy Support destroyed before my first turn) and that's about it really.

I was at the local GW sellers place, and was pondering what to lay some hard earned cash on. Noise marines have always been at the front of my mind, but at over $100 to completely deck them out with Blastmaster and Sonic Blasters is just ridiculous.

So I went with a Chaos Vindicator. Why?.... I don't rightly know? HS is always an issue for me, so I thought I'll buy something different to run rather than the usual Predator. If it works, great. If not, then I'll have some fun building and painting it.... When I get the time!

What Did Santa Bring You?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to anyone that may be looking at my blog. While I only got one Warhammer related item on Christmas Day (a CSM codex), I did get some other nifty things, like a new BIG ASS TV! Now I can watch my Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (I took advantage of the HD-DVD blowout sales) movies in 1080p.

Other than these great items, the wife and I were bequeathed some cash from a relative. I used some of this to buy a box of Thousand Sons, Malifaux Nicodem and a Ultraforge Miniatures "Lord of Pestilence".

The reason for me choosing Malifaux was because my Son is starting to give them a try and it's really quite cheap to get into. As for the Lord of Pestilence, I have been wanting to buy a Summoned Greater Daemon for my army, though had always found GW's asking price of $100 obscenely expensive for a rather crap looking model. Our friend, who is also the local Games day organizer and GW seller mentioned these Ultraforge offerings for half the price. This particular one was only $36AU, though it looks extremely nice.

I have to say I'm looking forward to painting this one, which is a very good thing because I have been extremely lazy for the last couple of weeks. Too much food and alcohol :)
