'Oi, Squig Brain! Weez Comin' For Ya!'

From the depths of Karak Eight Peaks come the goblins of Da Crooked Moon tribe! Sent forth by the undisputed master as the Warlord of the Eight Peaks, Skarsnik, they infest the mountains for miles around the ancient sundered Dwarf hold. Can the greenskin menace be pushed back and the ancestral home of the noble Dwarfs be reclaimed?

Incoming Skaven!

Some of you may know that I started playing Warhammer 40K while I was in the Marines. What you probably don't know is that the first Warhammer miniatures that I even bought were actually a box of Skaven Clanrats from the Games Workshop store in Carousel Mall. Adam Sinnett and I each bought a unit box (he got zombies, unfortunately the same exact models they sell today, 10 years ago), assembled and painted a couple, but then he went to school in Michigan and nothing really happened with them.

This November they are coming out with a new rulebook for the Skaven, as well as some brand-spanking new plastics, including Clanrats! I've always loved the Skaven, but their mainstay unit (Clanrats) look like monkey-men and are impossible to rank up with their ridiculously long tails. Here's a picture from the newest White Dwarf magazine, and I am INCREDIBLY EXCITED! I'm going to start selling crap on eBay right now so that I can afford to get the new Skaven stuff when it comes out.

Darkness Rising...

Inspired by Randy's post, I decided to throw up (BAAAARF! 'Not in here, you won't.') some pictures of the fiends I'm working on to pit against your guys' armies.

For Scott and his stalwart Dwarfs, the forward patrol of a vast Night Goblin horde-Randy's noble Wood Elves will be facing a mutated Beast herd, devoted to the dark god of change Barack Obama Tzeentch-The Warriors of Chaos under Shaun's command will be facing ghouls, the twisted undead minions that scour the battlefield after the armies are spent, feasting on the dead and wounded alike -I hate to be giving hints away before the battles, but I thought just a taste might whet your appetite for conquest! Shaun, Scooter, please feel free to post some pictures of your own warbands when you get the chance... which for you, Scott, should be as soon as you get up. And Shaun, you do it when you get home from work, I know you'll just be playing Xbox Live anyway.
