Now with the iminant release of the now new furioso kit and no old furioso metal kits on the shelves this was the closest thing he obviously could find :( however... this is what i actually in hindsight now prefer for a couple of reasons.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1. i dont like the blood talons on the new dreadnaught kit - i infact prefer the forgeworld talons (pictured above) as i think they look alot more brutal </span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br />2. looking at it now i dont really like some of the detailing on the front sarcophagi of the basic furioso as it leaves little space for being creative - the older plain fronts have nice large surfaces perfect for painting detail, transfers or sticking accsesories.</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br /><br />Dont get me wrong its a good sculpt on all of the versions (librarian and death company aswell) i just prefer the run of the mill standard dread front, it leaves me a bit more creative freedom to individually charictarise my dreadnaughts. I fully plan to add the latest incarnation to my army eventually as i do like the wings on the front but for now, practicallity and creative license are making me prefer the furioso ''kit-bash'' instead.</span>Calmingwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04551341839181622861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863762943596899195.post-6515348925642103132011-02-17T14:18:00.000-08:002011-02-17T15:12:13.340-08:00Desending upon wings of fire! - Stormraven gunship<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2BmTkTfcCkzvz2HDB4l8IHlc1tBTN5Yr9piL7QpRQNCqlWKHYUGpop4T4OwZ24ogjZfEEZzePVoJSzbl7UAa7X-ItF-LRuq7rYBz1uo9F2j-wKj8lz_mVBalHYifWTrdHtdW6IfMhmVfN/s1600/stormraven.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 172px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2BmTkTfcCkzvz2HDB4l8IHlc1tBTN5Yr9piL7QpRQNCqlWKHYUGpop4T4OwZ24ogjZfEEZzePVoJSzbl7UAa7X-ItF-LRuq7rYBz1uo9F2j-wKj8lz_mVBalHYifWTrdHtdW6IfMhmVfN/s200/stormraven.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574789523251278514" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Well after months and months of waiting the new kit for the stormraven gunship was released by GW recently. this has to of been the most eagerly awaited model that games workshop have released for as longs as ive been a fan of 40k and probably the one that has divided the most people with regards to the looks.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">when the blood angels codex was relased back in april 2010 everyone i knew and spoke to was excited to see what the eventual storm raven kit would look like - no one knew for sure because there was no illustration in the codex, and no model close to release - everyone had their own ideas as to how it should look and it became the source of much finger poking and fun taking ''flying toaster'' was one i heard that sticks in my mind, when the first pictures leaked out onto the internet and even now thats what i call it - and i like the model!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The model pretty much turned out how i thought it would in my minds eye - a kind of mini thunder hawk, especially when you consider its description in the codex and the role it plays in the army. i will certainly be getting one once my finances allow but for now its not needed in my army anyway with it still being under 1000 points. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">How will i fit it out? im not sure for certain but i do like the idea of having it as a tank hunter with twin-lined lascannons and multi melta. The special rule: ceramite plating will come in handy, having your oponent lose the D6 penetration roll if hes using a melta weapon will add good survivabilty to an already formidable vehicle and you just know it will draw alot of your enemys heavy fire once it comes into the game - extra armour will be a must for the 13' all around. Im salivating at the prospect!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">With any models inside the SR being able to assult on the turn they disembark im finding it hard to deside what i would have it carry, it will certainly be carrying one of my furiosoes but for troops im not so sure. my army will be very mobile, everything has a jump pack more or less so what to put inside? obvious choice for many would be terminators but i just dont see them fitting into my army. with it being based on the blood angels 5th company im trying to keep it as power armoured marines if possible just from a fluff perspective. My elite choices going to be 2x furiosoes and x3 sanguiary priests (3 priests are one elite choice) if anyone has views on this matter id be very happy to hear your opinions. one idea i am playing with is perhaps an assult squad with my captain and a sangunary priest without jumppacks- who knows! </span>Calmingwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04551341839181622861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863762943596899195.post-71137506024601286142011-02-07T01:26:00.000-08:002011-02-11T01:43:49.743-08:00Waterstones - loyalty card<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/pages/waterstones-card/1687/"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 117px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYxCd3a6USJLsePRSMaDJRTCW0HjGCq4bM_AQHWWT19tkYSNFvhcpd2XeKHIYpof1tX1VjMAKgxyqyXJOk-Mi86PrB1sBgtDLtbT0dLOxvm2hMpeFfZkq8Y6Cm8Wi_-cR3EP54iXvRnLoA/s200/waters-logo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571043184580949602" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">i would like to share some important info with anyone out there that has an excessive taste in reading, be it black library or any books whatsoever - The Waterstones loyalty card.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I hate loyalty cards normaly and i dont usually touch them however the WS card is for me one of the best ones out there, you dont have to pay off any credit and you can only gain from using it. when you buy as much books as i do then it pays to try and get as much back as you can money wise.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">With the card you build up points with every purchase, it can be used online aswell as in store and you can use these points to either knock off some of the price of a current purchase or to get a new book entirely if you save enough.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Now im not one to plug anything normally but i just wanted to share with the people on the net how benfical this card could be to you - certainly if you are based in the U.K.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">click the waterstone logo for a link to the webpage where you can get more info.</span>Calmingwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04551341839181622861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863762943596899195.post-2985861991537561332011-02-06T16:57:00.001-08:002011-02-06T17:19:40.484-08:00Tome of Fire Trilogy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20vzP38ZM_YYZY59IQY9Xhw4nstUc-Eo90Jou_u2IygZs02qHT9NRBlrCsmCcb_ZTrM_fTpQgMr8HqzvqZI6Uz55_sh4m3GIHw-GMXaRaQwCb6-IjAyYykUo1xl9oHSay69Ws68Opa1fR/s1600/fireborn.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 119px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20vzP38ZM_YYZY59IQY9Xhw4nstUc-Eo90Jou_u2IygZs02qHT9NRBlrCsmCcb_ZTrM_fTpQgMr8HqzvqZI6Uz55_sh4m3GIHw-GMXaRaQwCb6-IjAyYykUo1xl9oHSay69Ws68Opa1fR/s200/fireborn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570745601168113762" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">well what can i say about this series of books so far... one word sums it up quite well, Awesome!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">No serires of books that black library have published so far (baring the Horus Hersy series) have i looked forward to so much for the next book. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The Tome of Fire series which so far has two books and a audio book released is a fantastic read. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Nick Kyme has catapulted himself up into my favorite black libray writers, and thats saying something, as it takes someone with a special talent in story telling to do that with me - i can be quite set in my ways. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">I first picked up the first book: Salamander, just as a gap filler as i waited for the first heretic to be released (horus heresy) and i have to say i struggled to put the book down. Mostly due to the fact i either had to go to work - got to feed the addiction somehow right? or go to the toilet... i draw the line at reading in the bathroom, well maybe a white dwarf mag! anyway im digressing........</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">the series had an instant appeal to me just because it was about a chapter of marines that were not part of what i would call the big 3 when it comes to space marine books. The characters are strong and the story from the very start just teases you with the feeling that the series is going to be something epic and very much compelling reading. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The second book: Firedrake, took on the battern from salamander exceptionally well, and added something new to me from a reading standpoint with marines in that the enemy in the book was not orks or chaos but infact dark eldar. now whether this was because GW at the time the book was published had the re-release of the new dark eldar models for the 40k game im not sure but regardless it was another refreshing change from the norm.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Fireborn - the audio book fills the gap between the end of the first and the start of the 2nd book, and if its paper versions are a good yard stick for measurement it should be a very good listen and is on my wishlist for my next purchases and with a 3rd book on the way and i am assuming the last of the series (trilogy is a big hint lol) the future for mr nick kyme in black library looks very bright indeed and i certainly will be looking for more titles written by him in the future. green power armoured or not. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">I hope to do a full video review of them on my youtube channel in the future.</span>Calmingwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04551341839181622861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863762943596899195.post-37308071312175278922011-01-29T17:40:00.000-08:002011-01-29T17:54:37.146-08:00Its become an addiction!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-G38Oi2YRVQlh2hC2pVGdwN0Vzc9emGqnFI46m83SOkDT3AyctBEsDujl-yaAbLS00ERWxh24sQ4irTWHPKIsz7WpWfM87iEIiezU3KFOISBi1EsSmFEX6SH3JNs5-f2DSOj1Z7JE30kX/s1600/black+library.jpg"><img style="float: left;

Im certainly getting the feel of a strong PvP element from the trailers, alot of the areas remind me of the RvR in Warhammer: Age of reckoning, although i hope it is a much better game and is not rushed out like WAoR was.</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">THQ have not failed yet in their forays into the 40k genre, even way back in the turn of the decade with fire warrior - moving onto the legendary Dawn of War series's and the upcoming Space Marine. My faith is justly placed.</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br /><br />What will i play? well... like most im sure my first character will be a space marine! but i do like the look of the tech priest, and who knows what other races will become available, there were certainly Orks and Chaos in the first trailer and i may fancy a trip down a darker path. Having said that the imperium arnt really what i would call good guys either, there are no good guys in 40k if were all honest >:) </span>Calmingwindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04551341839181622861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863762943596899195.post-82220414029549204992010-09-08T15:08:00.000-07:002010-09-13T11:59:19.430-07:00Four Dwarves and a Halfling = Fun Times!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjNtsTujGyM_kq0uWckROPjRDCLgWpboPKOipezyNMdGyoG01dPlSzCIPenO4ZEl9vChQNRyLDX0noVku-hKwhVGGvFSFKcZv0BmdX24MuDtnt3KiUJFv1Xde7Xz0uljR0EvGAQqJzSAzM/s1600/4dwarvesandahalfling.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjNtsTujGyM_kq0uWckROPjRDCLgWpboPKOipezyNMdGyoG01dPlSzCIPenO4ZEl9vChQNRyLDX0noVku-hKwhVGGvFSFKcZv0BmdX24MuDtnt3KiUJFv1Xde7Xz0uljR0EvGAQqJzSAzM/s320/4dwarvesandahalfling.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514668276648738962" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">No, its not some wierd Sexual fantasy!! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I had one of my most fun nights on DDO tonight as i ran my first 5 man dungeon party with some of my old mates from my WoW days, weve all known each other for it must be about four years and it was the first time weve all been togther like this for a few months. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">None of us are taking the game to seriously and were just having a great laugh chilling out with a few beers decapitating Orcs, Golins, bugbears and such like :) </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mind you having run a hard dungeon and been in it for going on near an hour and reciving a old shield, 200 Gold and a moderate potion of repair as my final reward from the chest after keeping the party alive for alot of the time i felt a little bit robbed!!
