Have been looking for a new game system. First one I have checked out was blood bowl but I don't think I can find any one in my area to pick this up with me. Moving on...
War-machine and Hordes after getting hold of a old copy of the rules and checking out pod casts and forums I have come to the conclusion this is what I may be after. A game with a small model count rich history and great looking mods. But what about the rules? Well they are complex and do need some time to get your head around, other side is the game play. Best way to describe the game play is play like you got a pair and go for the throat and that's million miles from warhammer and 40k, no comp just take what you like and smash people.
So after looking at all my options I have decided on a Khador army always loved Russians in games brings back memories of red alert and red faction.
So I'll be ordering the faction book and MrkII rule set before splashing on models.

40k practice well sort of
I have to remember to up date this thing! Been a slow going only one game was played vs Scott F. who has just moved back. He had the new Nids vs my Death Guard.
What a brutal game 10 warriors drop podded err I mean spored into my army hoping to give me something to shoot at and that's what I did first on the hit list was spore and that was dropped by plasma fire from the walking squad. termy's and pred went to work with 2 units of marines with melta's backing them up, 3 of the mid sized bugs where left including a prime. some new kind of big bug pooped out lots of little bugs swarming over his home objective while I tryed to hold the center and my own. It wasint to be I just was not able to take down his large squads with assault weapons and assaults focused list, while dealing with the bigger things like flying bone sword wielding monsters but in the end I killed an awful lot losing in the 6th turn where the game ended but if it had been 1 turn before it would have been a draw. Great game looking forward to tackling the bugs and hopefully posting up a more complete report!
On the painting side all 8 pistons are firing on a commission project and a lonely converted daemon prince for the 40k side.
