Yeah, go ahead and roll your eyes, I know the Dark Heresy thing only made it six sessions. We&#8217;ll see if this gets any farther. But I&#8217;m excited beyond belief.<\/p>\n<p>I love everything about Fourth Edition D&amp;D. And best of all, they made it into a miniatures battles game, effectively. Sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I have yet to figure out what use the new DMG is, though. The good and useful parts are gutted.

I would do a deal for 50% off cost of materials for that one if you&#8217;d like to commission it.  What&#8217;s in it?  I think something like this:<br \/>Varghulf           1<br \/>Konrad Von Carstein   1<br \/>Vlad Von Carstein        1<br \/>Winged Vampire Lord  1<br \/>Wight King on Foot BSB          1<br \/>Vampire Lord- foot      1<br \/>Corpse Cart     2<br \/>Crypt Ghouls (box of 10 models)          2<br \/>Grave Guard (box of 10 models)          2<br \/>Dire Wolves (box of 10 models)           2<br \/>Black Knights   10<br \/>Blood Knights (box of 5 models)          2<br \/>Fell Bats (blister of 2 models)    2<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#66ffff;\">Personal Stuff<\/span><br \/>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. &#8220;Daddy, we need to find Brownie&#8217;s head and put it back on her.&#8221; Soooo, I headed down to clean that up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture: a blast from the past&#8211; my Tomb Kings army from 2001.
