I recently recategorised the blog with my gaming stuff falling under ’6 Rolling Freak’. It’s someone who does well with their dice rolls or is otherwise jammy with their playing, hence ‘you’re a 6 rolling freak’.
Anyway, on with recent fun.
- I was in Games Workshop this afternoon having a look at their preview copy of Warhammer Fantasy Battle 8th edition. Hmm, very shiny indeed. The store manager, Steve, ran me through a quick game using the models from the Battle For Skull Pass box. The book seems to be getting a lot of hate because it’s £15 dearer, from £30 to £45. Well, it’s almost twice the size of the previous book and in full colour. And with these things, the cost depends on the amount of use you get out of it. Yeah, it’s an expensive hobby but with the amount of enjoyment you get out of it, it should pay for itself.
- Ruthy and I never had our full test game of Warhammer 40K. We had a half game, but we were both shattered and postponed it for the time being. when my crazy shift pattern settles we’ll crack on.
- PBEM (Play by E-Mail) is good fun. The current game, run by The Other Big Al, is trundling on and as with so many things depends on how busy the players are. Hope it continues.
- I recently played another trail account of Eve Online. I had every intention of signing up for the monthly fee, even with finances being tight at the moment, but Coach found something to hold off for…
- The Warhammer 40K Dark Millennium MMORPG. Oh, it looks shiny. There’s a gameplay trailer somewhere online but I’ll hold back until there’s an official site to link to. But fighting for the God-Emperor might be taking up all my available time. Heh.
- And with 40K in mind, I have actually been painting through some of my models. I’ll have to get some decent photos to upload. Have to source a better camera first methinks.
