The rise of the noob general! Origins...

Sounds like an X-men movie,hehehe.

Well the warhammer (table top game,similar to Magic cards) bug bit me, and bit me HARD! I've been lurking ebay website shops from here to U.K. endlessly for two straight months now,looking for bargain deals on figures,vehicles and books!

I started out reading articles on the Net, and damnn it's aLOT to cover, I frequently visit this site:
www.dakkadakka.com (best site for Warhammer gaming IMHO)

Learned alot from those guys participating at forums,howto's and tutorial articles.

And there I am, I chose Imperial guard to be my army (or so I thought, heheh more on this later). I then proceeded to do research and some downloads later,I decided to purchase some figurines immediately! (mind you, I had not read alot of codexes at this point, just some forums and watched local games played,don't know the rules yet and tournament play rules :) hahahaha)

As you will see later,my purchase patterns are noob by design... and so my epic journey moves on...

Time for everything

In a famous book, it says there that there should be a time for everything. Time to laugh, time to cry, to be angry and on it goes.. Wouldn't it be great if life came with a manual or guide book something like that, it would tell us what to do in case of sticky situations or crises in life. But the one who made us have so much faith in us, that he gave us a combination of friends, family, financial resources, Internet, some TV exposure and even cinema, and lastly to give us a more flexible and somewhat spicy mix, he gave the mother of all gifts, freewill. There are a few moments or days where a human being would be forced to think thru all he had done, the decisions he made, the actions he took, opinions he expressed and where he stands in the present, than his own birthday. They say we should look at life as a journey and not a destination.. well i'm glad the journey has been interesting to say the least. Hopefully a better and wiser man is getting there along the journey, enj...

Chapter 1 The fortress

I remembered the day we landed on this mudhole of a planet, it's raining that day, vision is down to 10meters, sensor range cannot determine obstacles due to a electrical storms of unknown origin that is constantly firing off in random places. It is not simply like a lightning on Old Terra, this storm affects psychic auras too as welll as normally shielded equipments, we suspect it is warp-charged and yet to be determined how to stop it if it all possible. Thus we advanced slowly thru the muck and the rain, our best estimate of where we are is that we are dropped 20 kilometers from our objective, a fortress we have to defend and retrieve a relic of which purpose our captain is not privy to. In the group, we are about a full thirty squads of terminators, Grey knight terminators. I guess that should have given me an idea of the importance of this relic we are to retrieve, since you don't usually send this many terminators on a single assignment, it is unprecedented. And yet here...

Painting bug bit me! hahahaha

Well not like the painting stuff warhammer afficionados would want. But the hard core roller-to-the-wall-using-boysen types, hehehehe! Been painting my house lately,I don't have the faintest idea if my strokes or style is correct,but I see it's not that bad once you paint enough over some area your mistakes could be flooded over by paint! hahaha so you can't go wrong with alot of it,but the trick is never to put too much in too short a time, THAT i get easily. Well as for the miniature painting of my soon to rise Grey knight(daemonhunter) army,been waiting for most of my orders to come thru, plus I'm kind of skimping on cash as of late. You see in my eagerness to build my army,I overshoot my funds and ended up buying alot too soon, the stuff that suffered postponement is unfortunately the following: 1 foundation citadel paint set 1 grey knight terminator squad 1 Captain Stern 1 Grey knight Dreadnought 1 Lord Inquisitor Coteaz w/ retinue I would have loved buying them in...
