Rob
speaking,
Some of
you may know me from my Blog Embolden40k which I can no longer maintain due to
lack of time, but I still want to write and after a cheeky email to Nick to
allow me to guest write for his Blog, here I am!
But for
those of you who don’t know me, hello!
I’ve
been playing 40k on and off for about 10 years! I played Eldar for a large
portion of this time, in fact it was last year I stopped using my Eldar. I dropped
them in favour of Grey Knights, I know, I jumped on the band waggon, I used my
Paladins up until the last set of FAQs where they took away the Characters rule
from the Paladin squads so essentials removed the rule that made them viable in
a highly competitive list. So I moved onto Imperial Guard with Space Wolves
Allies, after facing a list I really liked at Battlefield Birmingham, this list
has my own twist though.
Last
year I started to attend tournaments for the first time, after listening to the
40kuk podcast, which inspired me to sign up for Caledonian in January 2012, since
then I have attended about 5 tournaments throughout the year, winning 1 with
Paladins and coming 4th after playing for the win in the last
game, plus some respectable finishes, I ended the year ranked 54 in the
UK, not too shabby if I blow my own trumpet.
Since
then I have been playing for fun while I amassed the horde of guardsman needed
to make the army I wanted, although I have had no time to blog due to work and building/painting Warpath Corporation guard, I
have still been able to play a number of games at the gaming club I attend
every Tuesday night. I have also signed up for Caledonian (which takes place in
2 weeks) and Battlefield Birmingham in February.
So that's
what I have planned gaming wise as for Blogging, well I enjoy writing
tacticas,
unit reviews, army lists, battle reports and tournament reports, so
expect
plenty of these! I do paint, but not a good standard, 3 basic colours
and a
wash... that's about as good as it gets...so I think I'll be leaving this
sort of stuff to Nick who is a great painter, just check out his stuff
here!
So there
you go, a little about myself and what I have planned for the next few months,
I look forward to talking to you on the Blog posts!
Regards
Rob
