WHat I like about your year-
ReplyDelete1.That I was involved in almost all the tournaments :)
2.That you failed to resist 40K, although both armies are allies....segue for your third army..;)
3.You went in for 2 pots of paint and came out with Space Hulk..haiku refers ;)
4.That half the games you bought you havn't played yet (sounds familiar)
5. Your modelling highlights includes a pre painted game..go figure ;)
6. That you built a dice tower that is awesome!
And as for next year, you are also moving closer to us :)
Standby my year in reviwe
Thanks for your commets Comrade, in reply I would offer:
ReplyDelete1. The social aspects (and the greater inclusion of the Lad) of this year was much greater than previous years and are the No 1 highlight overall.
2. Resistance is Futile after all! I'm think the lure of Chaos may be too diffuclt to resist....
3. Mea Culpa. Probably the most amusing gaming thing thats happened to me for awhile! (We must cross-post the Haiku here actually)
4. Sadly yes.
5. To be fair, I did a few extra bits for them - but yes, fair cop!
6. Thanks, and the Lad spied out and bought the cool skull thing for the front.
Indeed so - a gargantuan effort to move my drinks cabinet and gaming table 6 inches closer to Berlin!
Looking forward to your report Sir!
