EucBowl Aftermath


As part of our adventures at EucBowl, RightStuff and I both became members of the NAF (http://www.thenaf.net) so our first tourney results would count.  In the aftermath it seems that I am now the 6th best Khemri coach in Australia, and Right Stuff is number 13 for Slann!  I should definitely switch teams while I'm ahead :-)

BB Team Naming Help

While the Snr Caver goes away the Jnr Comes out to play(not like i did anyway :) )That's right , Right Stuff here and I am telling you about this amazing site i heard on Zlurpcast Tactic Zone. The site is called Gitzman's Gallery and on it is many many Warhammer Fantasy Maps and so people who like making their teams from places in the old World(like me)you can go through them and find a place them make your team! For example, I decided i wanted to play Vampires on the Computer so i went through some maps found some history and came up with the name.... Cripple Peak Creepers! I then went and did Chaos Dwarves and did the same thing and got ..... The Dark Land Decimaters! so these map go from the Ogre Kingdoms in the East through the empire and all to the Dark Elf Lands in the west so yeah these maps are big!

Enjoy the website!

All at Sea

Regular visitors to The Man Cave will have noticed that the rate of posts has dropped dramatically of late.  That's primarily because I have switched my focus to Modern Naval Wargaming....in 1 to 1 scale.
Here is my new toy and yes it takes a lot of Codex Grey to do the ship's side!  All these pics were taken during my first week in Command, in some rough seas off Sydney.
