Wow, this is relly sad...

Well, after spending a great thanksgiving with my family, I awake this morning to this sad news...

Looking at the Files page for Space Hulk 3rd Edition it looks like a majority of files were removed very recently. These were fan created files included many files for the Tilesystem program, log books for SH sessions, and even alternate counters for chaos squads. I can understand somewhat the reasoning for protecting IP, but overall this will make many people sour in regards to GW products. Hopefully the content I put on this page won't be stifled with this new judgment.

Mission from BBG!!

I Got Married!

Yup, believe it or not, I finally tied the knot with my gal Angie! We are in New Orleans right now, and just got back from a very cool cemetery tour.

But Chris, this hasn't anything to do with Space Hulk?!?

Ok...ya got me there. Well, we will be running a 6 player mission at StarBase Indy, November 27-29. You can find more information here. The mission is called 'Purification', and it will be sort of a large scale 'Cleanse and Burn' scenario. I wanted to make it simple for new players to get thier feet wet.

So Chris, where have ya been?...

Well, busy busy busy! My wedding is coming up this weekend, Oct 31st! Yup, Halloween (I won't be able to easily forget it). Besides that I've been working on...

- My New Space Wolf Terminator squad.

- New conversions of old bitz (My first attempt).

- New Replacement for my Blood Angels squad leader (Pics to be here soon).

- New Ultramarine Squad from SH 3rd edition conversions.

- New multi-squad mission for the upcoming Starbase Indy Con.

At Gamerz on 10/08/2009

Here's a shot of the custom board created by Gamerz in Greenwood. Blood Angels and Terra Knights try to retrieve a C.A.T and get it off the board.

New Space Wolf Terminator boxed set

Here is a 'what you see is what you get' with the new Space Wolf Terminator boxed set. Now to try and figure out how to arm my new squad to use them in as many 3rd edition missions as possible. This was another 'Declined' image from BBG.

Litko Flame markers during play.

I was asked to post a picture showing the Litko Flame markers in play, so here it is. I attempted to post this to BBG, but was declined.

Keeping your pieces organized.

Sorry for the absence of posts, but between work and 3rd edition, I've been pretty busy. Here's a shot of a $2.00 box I picked up at Hobby Lobby that I keep all my markers for 2 SH sets...

Oh Yah!!!!

Yup, showed up yesterday! All I can say is wow! The tile graphics are beautiful, and the models...Some of the best I've ever seen. Take note: When de-spruing your terminators, look for the small round tabs. They are numbered so you won't get the pieces mixed up. I didn't realize it till I had already done 2 termi's, and had to keep looking at the pictures to sort out what parts wen't with what. Some of the models have tiny parts, so be careful when cutting them off the sprues. Just wish they had done the same with the genestealer models.

I do like that they included misc. models (C.A.T., dead space marine in a throne, Chalice. Nice additions to my ever growing terrain pieces. The manual is top notch, but I wish there was a bit more 'flavor'. Maybe a short story, but I guess that's because of the SH novel.

The doors are relly nice, varied graphics, and some pretty awesome stands. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the 40 Litko doors I purchased right before Gencon.

I've read the rulebook, and after giving it another once over I'll post my thought's.

New storage trays just for Space Hulk

Sheesh

Well, I did preorder my copy of Space Hulk the day it was announced. Long story short, it's here in Indianapolis at the Fedex location, but won't get here till Monday. Dang, that would have been my whole weekend! *sigh*

My new project

Space Hulk 3rd Edition!!!

My thoughts on 3rd Edition Space Hulk
Likes:

- Awesome models. Not too sure about the non-standard bases, if one was to call them that. I like that they are using new models, both on the Space Marine and Genestealer side.
- New tiles. And they even look like they will work with the old tiles. A boon for me since I've never picked up multiple sets.
- Entry point markers. Great idea, but I'll most likely replace mine with Litko ones.

Dislikes:

- No 3D terrain. I know it would have made the set at least twice as much, but I was still hoping. I'm working on my own set. More info on those to come!
- 1st edition Flamer rules. Common guys, make up your mind. I'll be using 2nd edition rules for this.
- Sand timer? Too small to see across a table, and I have my own digital one in the works.

Overall I am excited, just over the attention & intrest the new release will create. The BBG boards are lit up like a xmas tree!

OMG! This stuff is insane!

I'll tell ya one thing...If you need to strip paint from miniatures, this stuff is the sh*t!

Dropped in some used Chaos Termi's, and 24 hours later....Walaa!! I found this at Home Depot for under $3.00

WooT!!!!!

Well, another year has come to pass, but all I can say is I HAD A BLAST! Was able to get into Troy and John's Gencon session, and actually completed the mission!!

Yes, my camera still sucks! One day!

Update: BTW, I think the 2 cases I had this con of minis falling off thier bases had alot to do with me leaving them in the truck during the hot day...
