Resolution Update

I guess it's time for an update. We're through 4 months of 2013 with Robotech models in my future. I've still got Infinity, Tau, Retribution, and Cygnar to work on. However, this update is about my Raven Guard.

Robotech!

Why am I blogging about this?  It's because this is an opportunity to help get a miniatures wargame that has been in hibernation for 20 years out into the open.  This is the granddaddy of most modern anime and big robot shows.  I won't debate that other, more notable, anime titles that came before Robotech, but the influence on American audiences, good or bad, was helped by this 85 episode epic.

Podcasts - The New Talk Radio

I'm posting this to give you some insight to all of those podcasts that have popped up. I typically listen to the Warhammer 40K content ones, but most veer off to other topics. The podcasts I'm going to cover are: 40K Radio, The Independent Characters, Guts 'n Gears, Infinity O-12, Imperial Vox Cast, and Forge the Narrative.

Nemo's Rogue Trader RPG: The Trouble with Bandits

Our intrepid adventurers discover their Rogue Trader captain, Captain Miguelito Lovelace, captured by the bandits. They break him out of captivity. With the help of their newly hired mercenaries, led by Lieutenant Gil, they conquer and subjugate the bandit hideout. They discover a cache of valuable drugs and the location of the Blood Steer Big Boss, Lobax. The adventurers move on to the abandoned laboratory where they encounter genestealers that had escaped from their experimentation chambers. They then enter into a deal with drug lord Lobax, but renege when they discover a captive freighter captain and his navigator in the bandit camp. Is this their ticket off the planet?

Resolution Updates

March has been a terrible hobby month for me. I haven't done any modeling, painting, or even playing (although we did get in a single evening of Infinity at 200 points).

Tau, Tau, and more Tau!

I picked up the 400th issue of White Dwarf this weekend. Since I owned the 300th issue and I consider that the pinnacle of the White Dwarfs, I was hoping this issue could match it.

Nemo's Rogue Trader RPG: Stranded on Ferngarden

With no work, their Rogue Trader captain Tristan Lovelace involved in projects of his own, and their ship undergoing repairs, Rook, an astropath transcendent, and Root, an explorator (no relation!), join, temporarily, with the famous Rogue Trader Captain Julius "Marvelous". Quickly the players find Julius is odd, to say the least. Condemned by Julius' witch, Mida, as mutineers, they are left stranded on a backwater frontier world, Ferngarden, where the main export is former residents fleeing the planet.

Making the most of their situation, Rook and Root hire a driver and a troop of imperial guardsmen turned mercenaries, who claim that their unit was "disbanded." They head into the desert. There they find a village in need of defense from leather-clad, mohawked desert raiders. They help the bumpkins and have infiltrated the raider base in the mountains...
