After suffering a series of pretty humiliating defeats, my Black Legion have disappeared back into the Eye of Terror... for now. In other words, I tabled them for the time being, as they were just not fun to play for me anymore. In the mean time, I am working on my Dark Angels again. I finished up my Company Master with power sword effects, lightened up his cloak, and based him (finally!) So he is now a great example of my work if I apply myself.
I also worked on getting the scheme for Deathwing down. Still have some details to go, but for the most part this terminator is completed and looks great using the 3 foot rule! The bone color is very rich and I am very satisfied with it.
Also this week, the Little General and I played his very first game of 40k! I had gotten him a Tau "Get Started" set for his birthday, and spent all of spring break assembling it for him. (I wanted him to do it but he insisted that I do it since sharp objects were involved). Since he wasn't playing Khorne and no blood sacrifice was needed from him to consecrate his army, I caved and built them myself. When I finished, I got out my old board and we had a decent 750 point game (I had cobbled together a unit of pathfinders from old catachan bits mixed with tau fire warrior leftovers).
I only made him cry once, when I Doombolted his Crisis Suit Commander with my Sorcerer. It was a good lesson on taking losses graciously :P
He did end up winning in the end, 9 points to my 3. Sure, I may have not played as hard as I normally would have, for my first game, but it was still fun and we both enjoyed ourselves. So quality time with my son is a win in my book, no matter the result of the game.
