Time for Some Focus! A Hobbying New Years Resolution!

I'd like to say that I started writing this between Christmas and New Year but with a hectic couple of weeks at work I have only just got around to finishing this off.

For my New Years resolution and to make me focus a bit better on the Hobby (and specifically completing projects) I am expanding on the completely failed Painting Points System I implemented last year. After an abysmal 2013 the coming year is mine!!!

So for a start there will be a New Scoring System....

From The Ashes.....

Right so Clan Raukaan arrived, and my plans swiftly departed. No named Character in the book means that my plans to do an Iron Hands army for BW have been shelved (or Iron Hands have been demoted to Allied role) meaning I have a new opening for a Primary Detachment. I still intend to use a Fortress of Redemption so the army really needed to fit with that. No point having a fortress of Redemption in a fast army..

Fortunately after a few chats with friends a solution has been concocted. I am now planning on doing an Imperial Guard army (with or without Iron Hands allies) defending a Fortress of Redemption. The Title of this post is actually a teaser for the army....

May The Dice Be Ever in Your Favour

Iron Hands (Provisionally)

Well I have provisionally decided that I will be doing an Iron Hands army for Blog Wars 7 using the upcoming Clan Raukaan Supplement (I love supplements!!!). This is obviously currently in the hope that they decide to add a character to the army so the list will be supported by the Blog Wars rules pack. I have also decided on the centrepiece of the army. It's something I haven't seen used before and have always wanted to try, and here it is;

So to summarise my plan will be an Iron Hands force, sheltering in and around a Fortress of Redemption. What do you guys think?

May The Dice Be Ever In Your Favour (unless I'm playing you!)

Bitten by The Bug!

Yes Folks, I've been bitten by the bug! I am not referring to the large amount of Tyranid players at Blog Wars 6 but rather to the event itself. I absolutely loved the event and the atmosphere and as such I am hooked. I am already planning my army for Blog Wars 7 next year!

At the moment I am thinking something power armoured. I would love to do Iron Hands but they currently have no character. I am waiting for the Clan Raukaan book to be released in the hope it includes a character. Plus I think supplement codices may be my Blog Wars "Thing". I took Farsight Enclave last time (and placed with it!) and hopefully will be able to take Iron Hands for the next one. Maybe I need to start thinking about 8 next November too.........
