Touhbase

It had been too long since my last post! School has kept me pretty busy this semester, more so than usual. Finals start today, so I will have a week off before summer classes start!

Even though I have not posted much, I have had the opportunity to paint here and there - but nothing historical. I recently joined a new gaming group (after not being in one for two years), and they only play Games Workshop games. So, I have been painting up some Space Marines. I am hoping that in time I can introduce some historical games to the mix.

This isn't a bad turn of events, as 40k was the very first miniatures game I played way back in ~1989, except we called it Rogue Trader at that time :) RT introduced me to the joys of gaming which I have been a part of ever since! We are playing 7th edition, which is a stinker (much different from 2nd, which was the last edition I played) but I am looking forward to 8th, based on the updates released from GW.

I have two armies painted up - the old RT era Dark Angels, and a newer era Flesh Tearers. I will be posting some pics of both very soon.

Also, GW has released Shadow Wars, which is just a newer version of Necromunda in my opinion - which I played back in the day. I am working on a few Kill Teams/Gangs for that as well. Many of the people in my new group are in the lower 20's, so only know of some of the older games as being a part of GW history, whereas for me they were something that I cut my teeth on.

All in all, it is nice to be a part of a gaming group again. Even though I have not been painting/playing anything historical lately, it's nice to get back to my roots.
