Its been a long time

Its been a long time since I have posted on my blog, but don't think I have stopped painting. My Salamander army is close to being finished. 30 out of the 40 marines in my army are done, my terminators are done and all my tanks are about halfway done. I have 3 solid weeks to get this army done before the next tournament and I must thank my girlfriend for pushing me to get it done. She keeps me on my toes. The only down fall to my army is I have not played tested it yet. It looks like it will work on paper, but that is nothing more then theory. I am a vet of playing Space marines so I am not entering this tournament blind, but I do like to play test before a tournament. Oh well feet first into the fire!

Tournament

So the weekend of July 11 and 12th I was in a tournament. The Out of the Basement Tournament. It was a pretty good tournament, there were a few hick ups, but all in all it was good. What I am most happy about is me placement in the tournament. I knew I was doing well, based on the people I was playing against. I just never knew how well I did. 4th place over all! My best showing ever! I can't wait to head to the next tournament. I am planning on taking the whole thing. First Place is in my sights.

The Big Plan. The BIG GAME!

So with in the next few month My friends and I will playing a very large game. How large you might be asking? Well I will using all of my Space marines, but how many points is that? Well a rough point tally puts it at about 15,000 Points. Yes I said 15,000 points! So the total size of the game will be around 30,000 points. I will be sure to take lots of pics and try and do a full battle report! I can't wait for this game, I am not sure my friends know how many marines I have (somewhere around 230 Tactical Marines). Man are they in for it.

Painting my Salamanders

In the next few days I am going to be posting pics of my tactical Sqauds. Step by Step from start to finish. I Going to be putting alot of work into them and would love any and all feed back. I am painting this Army for a tournament in Calgary in November, still months away, but am going to get a jump on it now. With the amount of work I am going to be putting into this army I am going to need all the time I can get. Wish me luck!

"And They Shall Know No Fear"

So a friend of mine has suggested that we run a tournament for Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. I have always wanted to do something like this, but am apprehensive about how much work its going to take. So many things need to worked, like, Where to have it? What about Terran? What do we charge people to get in? and about a million other questions. Where do you even begin? I think it would be a lot of fun to do, but I am so afraid that all we will do is screw it up. Well we will see how this goes and how the planning goes!

What to do, what to do?

I have a bit of a problem. I have come up with another list, only this time its a Salamander list. Its a really great list that is solid. I have a lot of the models already and could easily get it started and have it done for a Tournament in October. With that being said my Ultramarine list is a great list as well. The real problem is that I want to do both armies and at some point in time I would like to have all the First Founding Chapters (FFC). As of right now I have 5 of the FFC and already have an Ultrmarine army made of Spare Space Marine models I have. yes I know how sad is that, I have that many models just sitting around that I was able to build a 2000 point army. The only thing about this spare list is it isn't very solid, its great for Big games to help fill out my list, but just isn't solid as a tournament army. This brings me back to my problem, Salamander or Ultramarines? Both Solid list and both have a great paint scheme and history. Please Tell me what you think. Salamander list soon to follow.

Updated List. Tell me what you think.
