Going to Flat Con

So this October 1st through the 3rd is going to be awesome. My brothers, dad, mom and of course myself are going up to Springfield, IL to take part in Flat Con. There is a 2000 point Tourney and a Doubles tourney. I am pair up with my dad for the doubles, wheres Jeff is pair up with a friend and Brent is paired up with a guy from the local gamming shop.

We rented a hotel up there so its going to get pretty hecktic. My army (Grey Knights) is not fully completed like Brent's(Nids) but Jeff's(Imperial Guard) isn't either. I don't know about my dad's(Orks) though. He always throws something together at the last second so I am not holding my breath.

I am worrying my butt off due in no small part to the fact that there will be a fair amount of people there. I'll be sure to upload some pictures from the fights if I remember to bring the camera. I am getting fired up now just thinking about it. This week needs to zoom by so I can get this over with. Wish me and my dad luck in the Doubles but wish me luck in the singles.

FOR GLORY AND THE EMPEROR

Movie!

So since last weekend I have been preparing my Space Marine list to get ready for Gen Con. There is a single's game and a double's game. The single's game is 1850 points while the doubles is 1000 points a person. I am teaming up with my dad who plays Orks for the doubles. It should be an interesting weekend.

I found what I think is the golden egg of the Warhammer 40,000 gaming world. Its the first ever Warhammer 40,000 movie!!!! Here is a trailer of it.

Is that not the coolest thing ever! I can't wait for it to come out. I heard that it is going to go into theaters. Not only are they going to make an OMG great movie but they are also making a game! This ain't no Dawn of War style game, this is 3rd person kick your ass kind of game. Just take a look at this trailer.



Those two things right there coupled with the up comming tourney I am going to be in, is just so overwhelming but I will be strong and enjoy them all. Look forward to more updates and cool videos.

Quote of the Day: Knowledge is Power guard it well.

My brothers, my dad and me have started getting our armies for the up comming Gen Con. The dates for the Con are from Oct. 1st to the 3rd. My older brother Jeff is playing Imperial Guard while my youngest brother is playing Blood Angels are Nids. My dad on the other hand is sticking to his Orks. I am trying to make time to get an army ready but there just doesn't seem to be enough time. I get home from school, go to work, come home and do homework. By the time I am done with it all and I turn to do my work for the army, its time to go to sleep. I could skip sleep and start working but I love to sleep so I usually say I'll do it tomorrow.

On another front, the game HALO REACH just came out last night. I had reserved a copy of the legendary package and went to go get it last night from GameStop but when I got there all the copies were sold out. I'm not sad but I am disappointed but I still have Gears of War and Gears of War 2 to complete.

The Imperial armies continue to grow and will march to war this comming weekend when Heroic Adventures hosts a 2000 point battle. Say a prayer to the God-Emperor for me. Onward.

Fighting on the Home Front

Well I couldn't go to the game day on Saturday but I was able to play a few games of Warhammer at home against my brothers. They went fairly well for me but it was playing against my older brother Jeff that my armies fell to pieces. My dad on the other hand was an easier fight but still gave me a run for my money. 

I play Runescape a lot. You can find me playing it almost all the time. It was bonus experience weekend and lets face it, that doesn't come around a lot. I racked up a fair amount of experience which in turn cut down the time I have to spend on it in the future.

Not only was I relaxing this weekend but I was also worried about doing homework and what is due. I read the stuff for the reading, got my interview and making this post. I didn't get my outline done in time but that helped me focus on getting stuff done now and buckling down.

Hope you all had a great weekend too and will see you all in class. Peace
