Congratultions "TheGuy"

TheGuy and TheGirl had TheBaby this week. Alexander is happy and healthy and very cute, which is rare as most newborns look like Asian Alien Hybrids. TheGuy will start him playing Warhammer soon, 'which a simplified version of the rules' for the first few years :P

RIP Gary Gygax

I have confirmed reports the Gary Gygax passed away in his sleep last night as the result of an "inoperable stomach aneurysm."

This is going to go up on the "BethBlog" today, our companies blog that tracks the development of Fallout 3 and other games I contribute to:

"Jeff Gardiner, Producer: I got into D&D about the time video games were invented. I was 6 years old, and my best friend and I (David Beal,) ‘borrowed’ his big brother’s red Basic D&D book. That moment started a 10 year odyssey that allowed me to develop most of my skills as a video game Designer/Producer; on top of gracing me with several life long friends. Gary Gygax created something unique in the world to which every game today should tip their hat. My office and work is crammed full of Dungeon Modules, worn hardback 2nd Edition D&D books, and Dragon magazines I just can’t seem to part with. For me, and icon died today. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends."

'Cause I Promised

Too post all of my figs I paint. Here are some spider riders:

Didn't want a month to go by...

Without a post. I haven't been wargaming much this month, and the back quarter of the year looks pretty dark. Planing on playing some Hordes in a couple of weeks and hopefully a 500 point WFB throwdown next week.

Lots of new High Elf rumors and pictures circulating - most of the stuff looks decent - but no new troops? Whaaa? I'm not a big fan of the current rank and file - and not that I need another army but this just nixed any thoughts of collecting them for me.

Lots of neat figures and whining about about the release of the new Chaos Space Marine Codex. Of all the things to get worked up over, a $20 add on pack to a little known wargame?

Battle Royal 2007

Pictures up here.

They came out rather crappy. Needed more low-angle shots, but also needed some kind of backdrop to make them look good. Next time I'll try to remember a piece of black foamcore.

Battle Forum

So "The Guy" has been playing a lot of WFB - I think he's going to kick my ass on our battle royale weekend coming up.

I just love the figs...

Note I painted the Standard quite some time ago.
