I haven’t been able to sleep the last three nights. This evenings insomnia accomplishments was getting up to write down the back story for my 2010 Astronomi-con army. I already knew the back story, I thought it up after all when I was picking the army list. I’d submitted the army list to Mike and [...]

Today I went to Strategies, wrote out a token Ork and Goblin 1500 point army list, and invest money I don’t really have into Warhammer 8th Edition. I didn’t buy any minis but the big red book isn’t cheap. I also am more and more sure I didn’t get the job where they planned to [...]
