Happy New Year!

Man Cave dwellers across Australia are now awakening in various stages of hangover- may it be the worst you feel all year chaps!

May everyone's gaming 210 be filled with fun, excitement and the occasional sweet Victory too!

In that vain, Oberst Owen and I have made out first purchase for the New Year! Yes, we have succumbed to the lovely looking Brutal miniatures by Dark Arts Miniatures. At 32mm its another scale, but I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at painting these larger guys in the new Man Cave.

Arcanacon

Arcanacon XXVIII - 2010 is scheduled only 2 weeks after I arrive. With some luck and a Herculean effort I might get a leave pass to attend and catch up with Oberst Owen. Note the Space Hulk event...

Man Cave boxed up

It took two full days, several episodes of the D6G and This Week in Wargaming, and numerous boxes, but the Canberra Man Cave is now officially packed up and offline. Relocation will occur next week, though my computer will stay up until the last minute to keep me sane! Now to go start on all the other rooms in the house!

Firestorm Armada

I must admit I was excited about this last year, waned with the initial delays, moved onto other stuff with more delays and then forgot all about it. But now its out!
Yesterday I heard the D6G review of this game, very similar to Uncharted Seas it would seem. Simultaneously (in fact, while listening to said D6G episode) I found my stash of Starship minis and space terrain from my Full Thrust and BFG days. I'm gonna have to at least get the rulebook it would seem...Maelstrom Games stock it too!
