Have you ever seen an unhappy Ork player?

I came to the conclusion a couple of weeks ago that the happiest war gamers; WAAC, fluff bunnies, or beer and pretzel players, etc., all have fun playing Orks.

They are green, have charming accents, use teeth for money, and love a good scrap. If they win, great, it was a fight. If they lose, great, it was a fight!

Since I've been struggling with enjoying mini games and painting lately, I turned back my clock to some of my earliest 40k armies and worked on my neglected Ork hoarde. Since the thermometer did not teach 0 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend, I didn't want to leave my house so I assembled and readied some models that had been mothballed for years.

I made like a crazed mekboy and put some stuff together and I feel like this helped bring some of my mojo back.

I still don't have the urge to get back into competitive play right now, and selling off some of my stuff has felt good, but working on this old favorite army of mine has boosted morale.

Now we wait for the blizzard to pass so I can prime!

Also, I still daydream about a custom Space Marine chapter made of converted models...

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
