One step closer to pay day

Friday I get paid. I celebrate this day usually by going to Fire and Sword and purchasing something while hanging out and sometimes even playing a game. I think Fire and Sword is a great store. They just recently moved and now they have much more gaming space than ever before. As I have stated before they also run the TSHFT tournament happening later this month for Warhammer 40K. I am not sure but I think they even have prize sponsorship this year from GW. All I know is that the community at Fire and Sword is a thriving one. Friday's always have a large number of people showing up and you can almost always find a game with someone if you bring your army. They are located in Lake City in Seattle proper.

One thing that the store offers is a discount on everything you buy for a monthly membership price. If you buy as much as I do the discount pays for itself with one purchase. Anyways I don't know everything about the store but Zen and Paul, the stores owners, do. You can hit them up at the website link located on my blog in the upper right hand corner. They are doing a big update on the site on the 20th according to what is posted there so you will have new information on the store coming out soon. I hope to be at the TSHFT tournament this year and I hope to see some of you there.

Ok back to me. As I stated in my Ordo post I fixed the black splotch on Marneus last night. It was midnight and I could not go to sleep knowing that it was there. You will see him again when I get the other guys in the box set painted up. I was thinking about doing something different with the battle damage. Perhaps turning it into guts. I was going to do that in the first place but then I thought that it might be to gross to do. What? To gross to do? It's 40 friggin K!

I pulled out my fantasy orcs and goblins last night. I have them all set up in a bag on my kitchen counter because after TSHFT is over I am going to start on painting them up for the next TSHFT Fantasy tournament or maybe even the OFCC if I can get there and get on a team. I am really looking forward to painting my Black Orcs led by Grimgor Ironhide. I have had the model out now for about a month just sitting on my painting table. I need to get him painted up and ready for bloodshed. I have a couple of wolf chariots that are going to be a part of my army and I am going to do something diffrent with the wolves as far as color goes. They are going to stand out in the croud.

My dwarves are on the painting shelf to. I have three of them done up and painted but I haven't had the time to do anymore than that. I want to have a cool looking good guy and bad guy force for fantasy. Two armies for each side. I want the same for 40K. I am just having difficulty spreading out my time. Right now I am just to focused on getting the Ultramarines ready. They are really my favorite army since they were the reason I originally got into the hobby in the first place. I am very seriously thinking however of getting the models for every special charcter the marines have and painting them up just to have them in a collection.

Well I've rambled on long enough. Before the week is out I am going to continue the fan fiction post that I started on the Ordo boards. It wasn't great prose but I really enjoy having a marine shred six orcs at once. I think that is the way it was meant to be. Have a great day, later.
