Old man winter is back in moderate force today. Just a little snow, but its the 'thought that counts'? After a beautiful and unseasonably warm week (50's and 60's), we are back in the teens. No mounts of ugly dirty snow remain, just the fresh half inch that has fallen in the over night.
I've spent the morning organizing and packing for today's battle. The campaign is winding down (finally!). We are in the last two games, and frankly the Imperium is screwed.
I'm going back to Guard today. After several months of playing SM at the in the escalation league at the FLGS (and losing more then I'm comfortable with) I really miss my Imperial Guard. I even tried marines in the campaign for a game - no dice. I still haven't learned how to use them properly, and going 1-2 at last weekends tournament didn't inspire my confidence (dang T4 armies). But my marines are a pretty fluffy army, and I knew that's what I wanted when I started that army. And I had alot of fun painting this army, but playing - well you can't always win with what you WANT to play, at least with Space Marines! So back to the guard!
I'm doubly excited for the IG today. I'm also starting my 2nd IG army: Tallarn, with a dune inspired theme. Lots of blast weaponry and plasma, and even rough-riders (so people can't call my 2 vendetta's cheesey! - that and I love the models!) It'll be a while before this army is up and running. I did however spend yesterday assembling and 'fixing' some vehicles I bought 2nd hand.
BUT today's game, is that last campaign games (two of them ideally), with my old guard - who have an OK paint job, but very poor basing (need to fix that!). All that vehicle building kind of game me a mech-bug, so I'm meching out far more then usual. Should be interesting.
That's all folks!
