Thursday June 19 2008 Rabbit Stew
Picture: a blast from the past– my Tomb Kings army from 2001. This is a huge 10″ tall mammoth that I counted as a unit of Chariots. I think Tomb Kings are one of the best armies for beginners. I had a great time playing them. They’re tricksy.
See the other pics.
Today I was hard at “work” making characters with four staffers for our D&D game. Yeah, go ahead and roll your eyes, I know the Dark Heresy thing only made it six sessions. We’ll see if this gets any farther. But I’m excited beyond belief.
I love everything about Fourth Edition D&D. And best of all, they made it into a miniatures battles game, effectively. Sweet.
I have yet to figure out what use the new DMG is, though. The good and useful parts are gutted. Experienced DMs don’t really need it.

I have one golden slot open for mid July. Let’s get going soon and fill that one!
As usual, if you don’t see your project, just drop me a line and I can tell you what’s up.
I have a Vampire Counts army at the studio with no takers. I would do a deal for 50% off cost of materials for that one if you’d like to commission it. What’s in it? I think something like this:
Varghulf 1
Konrad Von Carstein 1
Vlad Von Carstein 1
Winged Vampire Lord 1
Wight King on Foot BSB 1
Vampire Lord- foot 1
Corpse Cart 2
Crypt Ghouls (box of 10 models) 2
Grave Guard (box of 10 models) 2
Dire Wolves (box of 10 models) 2
Black Knights 10
Blood Knights (box of 5 models) 2
Fell Bats (blister of 2 models) 2
Angela was in today. We were talking and I was eating this bowl of fruit chunks. Super-healthy stuff. When I was done, I slowly got out a huge-normous king-size Snickers and started chawing huge bites off. She fairly well cracked up.
Personal Stuff
When I got home today I found that one of the rabbits had got out and was savaged beyond description by a neighborhood dog (spine ripped out, face half eaten off). The kids found it first and I think the sight of it really messed with their little minds. “Daddy, we need to find Brownie’s head and put it back on her.” Soooo, I headed down to clean that up.
