This is just a quick follow-up to my " 40k by the Numbers" post. I just went through the Imperial Guard codex, so I can add that army to the list. First, here's the tally for the minimum points necessary to field a legal army ( Read more... )

Today was an exhausting, but enjoyable day. I awoke at 8:00 AM, despite the cat's attempts to rouse me from 6:00 onward. With my parents gone for the week, I'm the designated cat food provider, and I have a more relaxed attitude toward breakfast than she does. I could have given in at the first plaintive scratchings on the door, though; didn't ( Read more... )

Howdy, folks. I haven't been writing here a lot lately, for a couple of reasons. One is that I got peer-pressured into joining Facebook, since it is my duty to only latch onto a fad after it's started to wane (see you all on Twitter in 2017!). So that's provided a quick outlet for a lot of my random thoughts, which is death to Livejournal. The ( Read more... )

Since I have far too much time on my hands and little to occupy my mind, I decided to engage in what, at first, seemed like a completely useless exercise: seeing how many points I could possibly cram into a Warhammer 40k army. My rules were simple; for a given army codex, I would attempt to fill the Force Organization chart with the most expensive ( Read more... )

I'm still riding a wave of Warhammer 40k obsession, which has led to some interesting finds around the Internet. Two blogs have particularly caught my eye:

Way of Saim-Hann: This is primarily an Eldar blog, but the insights Fritz offers are useful to just about any 40k player. He also plays other armies (such as Black Templars, Chaos Space Marines ( Read more... )

Here's another one for the Warhammer 40k people. Uninterested parties, you are forewarned.

I've mentioned my Ork Nob bikers in a previous post, and I've also talked about about their ridiculous effectiveness. Today I want to look at how they stack up against a very similar scary unit from the Eldar codex: the Seer council on jetbikes ( Read more... )

I somehow missed this on Friday: Man sues BofA for "1,784 billion, trillion dollars". Remember, always fill out your legal paperwork when you're still good and mad! Show those corporate slugs who's boss! Demand the kind of money that would require every living person on Earth to give you 266 dollars a day... for 2.7 billion years.

Last night I had some time on my hands, so I decided to watch a movie. I perused Hulu's offerings and discovered, with some trepidation, Blues Brothers 2000. Before now, I've avoided that movie, mostly because I had heard from several sources that it might ruin the original. But I was in a movie mood, and I'd enjoyed the YouTube clip of "Ghost ( Read more... )

Thanks to Gmail, I've had very few problems with spam lately. Their filter is very good, and it's pretty much become automatic for me to click on the spam folder, select all, and delete the misery that's been collecting there. Today, however, I paused. Maybe I thought something might have been tossed in there by mistake, or maybe I thought that ( Read more... )

This week marks the opening of the new, free-to-play version of Dungeons & Dragons Online. Well, for people who are eligible for the Head Start Week, anyway. As a Beta participant, I'm included in that category. Thus, Onrik Stonehammer now stomps the beaches of Eberron! The game opens to the general public on September 9th, which isn't very far ( Read more... )
