Update!

So it has been a crazy busy time, what with our Scout group starting up again,planning of upcoming camps, and applying to school, I haven't had as much time to blog.

I have been working on my Khador Army... What else is new? So far I have 20 points and the plans for about 35 points total.... Sooooo that leaves me out of some tournaments but that is A-oK, I'll eventually figure out some more units to add in.

I GOT INTO SCHOOL! I get to learn about how to organize little kids and take care of them in a structured way. I really want to figure out how to add some nerdy things into my daycare plan. xP We  will see how it goes!

Agents of SHIELD Tv show is coming out soon, kinda looking forward to seeing it.

Doctor Who returns soon! Well kinda... The Anniversary special will be airing in November then they don't have a solid release date for season 8... SADNESS!!!

Speaking of Doctor Who I have officially bought 3 new posters which I don't have any pictures of cause I am not putting them up until I move, butbutbut! I have a Tardis poster that is holographic!!!!!!! Eeeeee!

Gaming/Hobby Stores

Let's talk about Gaming and Hobby stores, now here is a pet peeve of mine: when I want to go play games in a store on the scheduled night and I sit in a dark dingy basement that needs a very very VERY good hose down because it smells like sweat and body odor. Almost every gaming/hobby store that has a gaming area has this area in a spot that is off to the side or in the basement and has little to no ventilation!

So when I come across a store that is bright, airy, user friendly, well organized and that makes me want to stay there because of general cleanliness and how the store is laid out I go out of my way to go there!


This store that I found is about an hour and a bit away depending on traffic and it's so very worth it!
1. Warmachine is on a night that doesn't take my weekends away!
2. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!
3. Gaming areas are on the same level as the store.
4. It's a decent size, the boards are pretty good and are kept in nice working order.
5. Super friendly knowledgeable staff and owner!


There are many more points that make me want to go out that way to do it, but I won't bore you with the details!

Why my Khador Army Kicked Butt!



My friend hmmmm for this blog post lets call him Cryx Commander or CC for short, well my friend CC has kicked my army's arse every time we have battled. Everytime without fail, the first couple times he CRUSHED my army, as in there was never any chance of coming back from that without great skill (which I'm currently lacking) or sheer dumb luck.

But my friends I have done the impossible! I kicked his bottom, not even a little I demolished his army! Woot! Now I really don't usually brag but we have played about 10 games now and I think I needed this win. For most other people I would believe that they would let me win but CC wouldn't he believes in logic and doesn't believe in hand holding or coddling someone. Though I will admit again this was mainly due to how over powered my Warcaster is, Vladamir the Dark Prince of Umbrey seriously kicks ass on stats. CC has many more years of Miniature War games under his belt but soon through the skills I have learned from him I'll be able to kick butt everywhere!

Pathfinder ~ To Society or not to Society

Whether tis nobler... oh wait not Shakespeare... Ok!

A few friends and I play a very rousing game of Pathfinder almost every Sunday. We have changed DM's a few times and I think we have finally settled on one, and that is me! Woot! *does little booty dance* I rather enjoy having the control over our game and sending the big scary monsters after my friends and watch them work through how to kill, defeat and succeed. So far since I've been DM nobody has died from the party, this is largely due to the fact we have a fantastic Cleric and well at least two wands of cure light wounds, and one wand of cure moderate.

The group we started with playing has since changed and there has been some graceful exits and some not so graceful ones but all in all Pathfinder has been a wonderful experience in getting me back into gaming.

Last week I sent them on a mission to collect a chest... not my finest work ever to be honest but for some reason I felt really rushed. It's not a normal feeling when we game, I think next time I will just have to be super organized (more so than usual) just to get back into it.
