And so it begins.....

G’day everyone.

Welcome to what I hope will be a constant and fulfilling log of my, and my gaming groups adventures and shenanigans into tabletop war gaming/painting/modelling and some other topics. It has mainly come about due to my recent forays into the blogging universe, mainly the blogs of Colonel Scipio, Colonel Gravis, Colonel Ackland, Mordian7th just to name but a few. All of these blogs are full of amazing models, fluff and inspiration.

So onto my own plans: 

I am very lucky to have such a great group of gamers who live close by and mostly, have been mates since school. At the moment we have about 15 members who come over to my place once a fortnight to game/build/paint/talk trash. We have been gaming for about 3 years now and there have been some great battles. 

Recently a few of the core and more hardcore fluff fans have gotten together to create The Eternal Campaign, a rule set that will let us play out a never ending (for the moment) campaign set in a sector of space we have built ourselves, complete with planetary effects/ special rules and an experience system for our units and commanders. We are hoping that this will create a more in depth feeling to our battles, as our actions as commanders will have affects on our forces.

This blog will feature mostly my own collection of models, but I will be sure to display the forces of the other guys and girls in my group as well as the fluff we have built for the sector and any house rules we design.

My Forces:

I am a Guard fan at heart, always have been, always will be and though I like other races, it is the Guard that have always held my attention.

My current "main" force is the 1st Company of the Terrakan 13th, an urban styled combat regiment nicknamed the "War Dogs". It sits at approximately 3000 points of almost pure infantry, the only exception being a unit of 3 armoured sentinels.

Kill team trooper

This is currently the 3rd incarnation of the army, it started out as a Mobile Infantry (Starship Troopers) styled force in 4th edition, before becoming an airborne drop trooper list in 5th, and now finally an all infantry urban assault force. My hope and general plan is to build the entire company, a force of about 1000 men as it stands now. (approx 13,000 points) Along the way I plan on building small forces from other planets in the Sector (one of which is my Navy SEALs inspired Kill Team), so I do not burn out on the one force, and to feed my always inspired modelling bug.

Anyway, that should do for a first post, check back soon for plenty of pictures and the beginnings of my fluff (be warned, I am not a writer. I belt the crap out of steel for a living so it my be clunky and terribly cliché.) 

Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome.
