Greetings fellow 40k club,

The last month and a half has been productive. I did a first blood game with Commissar Lastro of the imperial guard The Emperor's high roller of the Space Marines.
The Orks received a thorough beating.

Blackmar and I started building a massive factory scenery project that will be an awesome centerpiece to dominate the board for a special city type board. Everyone it seems is either re-forming army lists, acquiring new miniatures and/or forming new armies. I look forward to some battles in the 41st millennium where there is only war. Let me know if anyone wants to get together and have a small battle- probably a 750 pt battle to get familiar with the new 4th edition rules.

Here is a summary of the latest action:

- Shas'o Euar eagerly is awaiting the release of the new "Tau Empire" codex plotting the destruction of us all. It promises to be complete destruction at the hands of his japanime mecha

- The hive mind broods and plots as they have acquired new knowledge of biological mutations in the form of codex Tyrannids. Look out for the Genestealer patriarch and his friends on Saturday morning cartoons right after scooby doo

- Chaotic Ketros has put together a brutal Khorne army. beware " Lunch meat for the lunch meat god"

- Blackmar has put together a fast attacking unbelievably powerful army of Black Templars using drop pods. These things are seriously frightening if you are unaware of the rules concerning drop pods which allow them to land anywhere on the board. As if that wasn't enough he is toying with an Eldar army.

- The emperor's high roller has acquired a new land speeder, missile terminator and standard bearer to carry the banner of the emperor

- Imperial Commissar Lastro has mustered a sizable force of Steel legion imperial guard with a full deployment of heavy weapons support and sentinels. Tanks will be forthcoming in the future.

- The orks have moved forward with a new army list, and some basic painting. I will continue to do so to bring them up to at least basic colors and then continue with some more painting details as they become battle hardened veterans. I am now building a Dark Eldar Cabal- don't let them take you alive- mainly because when they capture you they take you back to their home planet and make you watch re-runs of Threes company.

Keep up the gathering. I'll be available for games and painting times just let me know and I'll plan something out.
