4 Corners of 30k - Week 4

Week 4: Acquisition

No, I do not have to put a work order through the Adeptus Administratum but in certain ways it feels like I will be. There are a lot of Forge World models that will make my 31st Millennium Alpha Legion list that much cooler. For those that don't know, Forge World is based in the UK and focuses on AMAZING add-ons to the Games Workshop lines of models.

4 Corners of 30k - Week 3

The Horus Heresy: Betrayal

The book was a whole lot of awesome! It's focus was around the Istvaan III massacre time frame.

Reentry: Games Workshop

Our journey away was long and arduous but we are now reentering the Games Workshop Universes of 40k and Fantasy.

What is the answer to this question: "What was the tabletop game that hooked you in to wargaming?" My guess is that 70% of the time you'll hear these words: "Warhammer 40k." I know that is my answer and the answer from pretty much all the DuskTillDawn crew! Well, except GentleSamuri but it's not too late for him!

DtDG are all avid gamers and still have much love for games like Warmachine, Hordes, Dark Age and many more! So then, why the sudden spark you ask? Because what was old is now new again and the cycle continues! Not only that but 40k and Fantasy are both constants in the world of gaming. Gamers can all relate to 40k and Fantasy, even if they don't currently play or have never played them. Which makes knowing these games important to being....well, relevant.

In the last 4 weeks I have been reporting about my 40k escapades in my DtDG posts titled "The 4 Corners of 30k". It's been a great time getting back in to the mix of things! I'm having a blast with it!

Meanwhile, Mean Jean has taken up the reigns on reporting our introduction in to Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Mean Jean got his start in gaming through 40k (surprise, surprise) and is a strong Hordes player. He will report in on Mondays about our ventures in WHFBs from each week prior. Army builds, list prep and battle reports will just be a few things on the menu!

Stay tuned!

Swonkob Bo - OUT!

Kaosball on Kickstarter!!

Well Kickstarter has another cool game going up and it is Kaos Ball!!!

I have been waiting and watching the Facebook page for some time - and it's finally here. The Kickstarter is a bit shorter than normal (20 days) and with only 2 pledge rewards seems bit bold and straight forward. I have a feeling they will have some interesting additional add-ons for the stretch goals.

Kaosball is a sports based game similar to Blood Bowl and Dread Ball but with a different mechanic utilizing Cards to initiate plays. It Looks very Rugby-ish and the teams definitely have flavor and their art work is very Anime-like which could draw people towards or away from it.

The Basic pledge gets you the game which consists of 4 teams, 4 ringers (MVP players), board, dice, cards and extras!! These include the Goblin Team and an exclusive Ringer!

I can see that they lack some variety between the figs. Hopefully the Kickstarter will help add more spice to the miniatures and bring out some really cool add-ons for the game!

Head on over and check out the Kaos Ball Kickstarter!!

4 Corners of 30k - Week 2

The more I look at this project, the more awesome it gets!

Since this isn't a 10 to 30 model project, I'm definitely taking my time to do my homework! Not to mention we're talking about a lot of Forge World models and bitz; so not only do I have to plan my list strategically for the game, I have to plan the monetary expense of it.

This week will be made up of reading this awesome book: The Horus Heresy: Betrayal
