I’ve been gaming, in one form or another, for as long as I can remember.

This time 1.5k of my guys against the same amount of Chaos Space Marines.  It was at GW Glasgow against Graeme on Thursday evening on a pokey wee 4ft square board.  Annihilation mission with a Pitched Battle deployment.

Two weeks ago today I had my first game of Warhammer 40k in about 17 (ish) years.  And it was glorious.  Ah, the small joys of moving metal and plastic men across a make-believe war zone.  Futuristic men though.  In space armour.  That makes all the difference.

I’ve got two weeks off work.  I’m not going anywhere nice, this was one of those ‘use your holiday time or lose it’ moments, but I have every intention of getting the best out on my time.

The five man squad of Grey Knights, mentioned here, have been finished only to be replaced with another five.  The Inquisitor and the Chimera have been joined by a Space Marine Sergeant (possibly painted in White Scars colours), a Grey Knight Terminator with Incinerator and a single Plaguebearer of Nurgle.

Oh, and 33 night goblins…  :)

Still on a look out for a camera that’s decent enough to capture detail.

Currently I have a five man squad of Grey Knight Space Marines, a Daemonhunter Inquisitor and an Imperial Guard Chimera.  Although it’s slow progress I’m painting faster now than at any time since my teens.  I’ll try and get some pics up but i’ll have to borrow someones digital camera.

Anybody have a decent one I can borrow for a while?

Thing is, as far as gaming is concerned, I have an odd selection of miniatures to choose from.  I’ve only ever bought those I fancied painting at the time with no regard to whether or not it made a coherent army.  Oh, well.

In an effort to balance my last doom and gloom post, here’s a list of things I’d like to spend my time on as baby and wife allow.

I found an excellent mod for the Dawn Of War: Dark Crusade game. Daemonhunters!

Ages ago (October last year, I think) I wandered in to the Games Workshop in Glasgow and (because I am an unrepentant geek) I bought a single Grey Knight Space Marine Terminator with the idea that it would be fun to paint.
