Back from the dead?

      Jack here with, well this is something. So 40k have move came along a lot since last I talked about it. My favorite thing, rumors, are no more. GW is putting out info so fast I don't know whats out. Thank you GW. I mean that. We about about to have a fully updated rules set. Fully. Everyone on the same page. Holy shit. When has that happen last? 2nd Edition? Never? 42?

     Then there is 7th Edition I love it. I have had more fun with this then edition then maybe the last 2. I need to get more games in but that's always the thing. You can never get in all then games you want. With 6th i quit playing. I didn't tell any one that, not even my self. I hated it, and my self a little but for trying to like it so very much. It just didn't happen. 
    
       With that said i think tournaments will be very, unique. Look at AdeptiCon for next year. Ill wait. You back yet. No, OK. Wow your a slow reader. If you didn't read it you should. It is the most un-watered down tournament I have seen so far, You may look at it as you can only take 1 CAD, and no Transcendent C’tan. But you can take any number of unique Codex Detachments and any number of unique Formations presented in a Data Slate. I will say i wish they would put the C'tan back in because A. He ain't shit and B. Maybe the best thing to keep the green tide at bay. With that said. I don't care about th lack of Reaver Battle Titan. That may be the only thing I would not want to play, not because you "can't take it down" because you can, but that's the only thing a list that is design to do can do. They are also kicking around the idea of maelstrom of war missions. I'm not sold on that. having played them they are great fun, but no very balanced, at all. We will see. I missed the 2014 AdeptiCon, I will not miss 2015.

    Till next time,
     Capt. Jack





Come at me bro.

Another Update!

With as many changes as we have had over the past year we are moving in a new direction. That means a new web page, new name, and new format. We have already done a sound check with our new hardware and hope to bring you a better quality production. Our first recording is planned for 5/8/14. There should be very little editing with a short turn around time.

More information will be coming soon including with links to the new site which will also be hosting the podcast.

State of the Team and Podcast

Well well well......It has been over a year since the last post on this site and the last podcast. Where have we been? What have we been doing? Burn out, scheduling conflicts, and conflicting opinions all led to the blog and podcast coming to a screaming halt. What it boils down to is real life was more important than gaming.

What's this thing you call real life? Let me explain with a break down of what has been happening in our lives. James moved to Denver. Duncan got promoted to sergeant and has prisoners to keep in line. Mike works an outrageous number of hours each day, 6 days a week. Betty went back to school for another degree. Jack got promoted/new job which keeps him busy and is expecting his second kid. Seth finished his doctorate and moved to South Dakota. Conor started college. Andy, we still don't know where he is (I know someone will appreciate that joke). We have been spread thin to say the least.

However, we never quit playing 40k. There are always down times but the game continues to be an important part of our lives. Also, we have added a couple new members to the team to fill in the ranks. Long time players who we have all known for a long time, Aaron and Will.

What does this all mean? While we continue to go to tournaments we plan to work the podcast back in to our lives. The group has become scattered across the nation and its a chance for us to not only talk 40k but to stay in touch. After all, the best part about the game is the friends you make along the way.
