The Black Castle.: Citadel catalogues online.

Citadel catalogues online.

I have found this site, The Stuff of Legends, to be extremely useful for authentification purposes when chasing down antiques online (it covers loads of manufacturers BTW, just go back to the home page and renegotiate your way back in). Well, actually, I have found that more often than not it dates low-priced old beastmen labelled as 80s on ebay to the 1991 range rather than a bona fide 80s range BUT it is still a useful resource and if you don't already have it in your life (or perhaps you have originals of every catalogue?) then you definitely should take a look.

I have bailed two Ogres on ebay which will supercede the current 90s chumps in my Oldhammer ROC STD (sounds like an awesome disease), back to the leadpile with you losers! You will embarrass me no longer. I am having difficulty finding seven legit OS beastmen/broos though :(

Ebay has me tempted by a few Slaanesh champs that are reasonably priced but I want to ~~hack up~~ convert my ever-evolving rewards onto him and I probably won't be able to do that to a classic. I can envisage myself poised, frozen, over the critter with a dremmel in hand, tears streaming down my face and the stench of whiskey on my breath. Gives me vertigo just thinking about it.

Anyway, moving on.

P.S. Other online pseudo auction house classified advertisement sites are available.

Mission Statement.

This Blog will be used to revolutionise wargaming, succeeding where others have failed. Oh yes it will! I will teach you all the error of your ways and subvert you to my cause. I am on a crusade to bring back the GamesMaster to all tabletop battles. On the way, I will track my wargaming progress project by project and as a whole, bringing projects to completion and moving on to new challenges. I have moved away from the hollow, charmless gaming that has become a kind of standard thanks to our own complacency and develop a gaming style that encompasses the gaming and role-play values of the 80s and early 90s (my youth) whilst going beyond what that era achieved into exhilarating new realms of fun. I will therefore use the Blog to record my battle and keep on the right course with my overall philosophy in the same way as I fortify my discipline with individual projects. I will use the blogging platform to challenge my painting, modelling and photography skills, though I will not allow the pursuit of high standards to interfere with the deadlines I set myself so expect a mixture of different quality paint jobs, photos et cetera. The aspiration to perfection is always a long term goal, so get stuff done in the mean time. The blog will come in handy for insurance purposes, tremble in fear claims negotiators. I promise not to use the Blog as a vacuous diary, sharing a life which though personally gratifying is possibly outwardly dull. Though I am pretty neat. I will utilise gentle humour often, as is my way, without descending into constant joke-telling. I will not shy away from subtle adult humour and occasional vulgarity (this will not include serious swear words however) though only rarely and in always in context. This is because I like my wargaming to have a moral awareness of it’s real life counterpart (war) in amongst all the fun times. I will not post whilst drunk. I will never review movies, books or anything else for that matter though I may recommend stuff for gaming inspiration purposes and talk about a fun time I had doing something that linked to my gaming activities. I will strive to avoid discussing the world in absolute terms, accepting rather that reality is in the eye of the beholder and that maturity acknowledges variety. I want the hobby to be inclusive and will avoid misogynistic blogger staples such as using pictures of ladies breasts to liven up mediocre posts. I will ask you now once, for the first and last time, to comment and follow if you feel able as these signs of recognition are greatly appreciated. I will never again seek any acclamation for what I’m doing. As a final point, I will make it clear that I think Gamers, us, ourselves, are responsible for the state of wargaming, NOT Games Workshop, Wizards of the Coast et cetera who despite being in the grasp of vile corporate vampires actually carry out, diligently and with dignity, a worthy and thankless task. If anything goes downhill people are far too quick to blame the governing body, when they should be taking personal responsibility first and foremost. Wargamers of the world, the time for excuses is past, it is time to have incredible fun!
