Valkyrie is Named! Results are in!


With only a half-hour left to vote, and an overwhelming majority, it is pretty clear that the winner of the naming contest is... (drumroll please...)...

... 3 Year Gambit!

Apparently a lot of people thought it was fitting tribute to my wife's 3 year wedding anniversary gift to me. Credit goes to 08ak1 for the great suggestion. Coincidentally, he is also an Alaskan, and I'll have to be sure to show him the result of his suggestion personally the next time we meet to battle it out!

The second-choice was my old platoon nickname: Nightstalker. It also is the name of a couple of famous units, like an AC-130 and the unit of special-operations Black-Hawks used in Mogadishu (as made famous in the movie Black Hawk Down).

Neck-and-neck with that was the name Alascadian Glory, paying tribute to the regiment. Warhammer 39,999, Also an Alaskan, voted for it to pay tribute to the best state in the Union. Ok, ok, we may not be the best, but we ARE pretty awesome!

So, I'm off to design the nose art now that I have a name for this vessel. Also in the works, expect to see a new design for a Mycenetic Spore Pod for all you tyranid players out there. But first... today is game day! I have a game to prepare for.

So until next time...
