Relaunching an old website

Some of you might remember me trying to do a website awhile back called Seattle Wargaming Union. Well just for giggles I entered a couple of searches into Google and have discovered that my site is now in the top five Google sites relating to wargaming in the Seattle area. I kind of figured it would be by now as the content I placed upon it was tailored to get that kind of a ranking although it might just have happened without my help.

Anyway I am seriously thinking about turning this site into a battle report and tactical site for the Games Workshop series of games which are the only wargames I play. Some of the other board games like Warmachine and the like are interesting but most of my cash has always gone into GW so that is what I am going to stick with for a while at least. I am really going to put thought into the forum but it is not going to be a big forum at all. I am not going to spend a ton of time setting it up because the last forum I created I did that and I was not pleased with the results.

I really do like the idea of having a battle report type of site with occasional features on tactics and other parts of the hobby mixed in. I will link this blog to the site and might end up linking this to a subdomain of Seattle Wargaming Union or vise versa. I really like the fact that it is ranking so high on the Google page right now.

As for what I am doing in the hobby right now...I played at Fire and Sword last Friday and had a great game with Wadmore and am looking forward to playing again this Friday with an old friend if he wants to throw down and have some fun. I am currently painting my second land raider and a vindicator and hope to have a Predator started by the end of the week. I already have a Whirlwind built and I hope to get that painted up sometime along with the top parts of a Razorback. I need to get a couple more Rhino shells eventually for all of this.

I am thinking about painting up the Black Reach marines that I have as Sternguard and creating two ten man squads of those fellas. I don't know how I would use them yet in my army but I don't think I am going to have a hard time figuring that out at this point. The list I am running is becoming more comfortable to me now and I am starting to understand the things that my army can and can't do well. I have been trying to create a balanced army with this list but I think if I had to face guard of the new list coming out in May (reserve your copy at Fire and Sword today!) I think I might get creamed.

That's about all I can come up with for this post and I have to go back to work in a few minutes. I am going to post some pictures again tomorrow of the paint job on my land raiders to this point. I think they look good and the army as a whole looks really nice to me under the lights at Fire and Sword. Thanks for reading.
