Mission M-Possible

As in "maybe possible."

Well, this blog has been languishing in cyperspace for nigh on a year, and I figured it was time to revist its purpose. By any reckoning I have failed in my recent hobby undertakings. But on the other hand, I've weathered some fairly serious life-changes in the past year and, thank God, have landed on all fours, so to speak, so I'm not complaining. Now I have the expectation of some free time in the coming months (four posts in four days?!?! Next thing you know I'll be monetizing) and am eager to spend some of it with my man-dolls.

In years past I've been able to participate a little in two different gaming communities. More recently, while my gaming and blogging have been meager, I have been able to indulge in lurking and mathhammar during stolen moments, which has given me a perspective on a broader community and has strengthened my grasp on the theory of the game. So why am I not diving back into playing 40k now that I have a chance?

Well, the FLGS is having a long event to build up our Fantasy armies, begining with the release of the new RB. In keeping with my initial mission, the event is focused on prepping for 'Ard Boyz 2011. This still appeals to me because I still value gameplay over painting or (sadly) even being a good sportsman. Maybe we should rename 'Ard Boyz "Ass'oles." ... Nah, that takes it from sounding like a "fabulous porn" (dare you follow the link?) to sounding like a gay porn. Anyway...

I suspect others at the FLGS will have more time, money, and experience to bring to competition, BUT a new RB might level the playing field a little, if I actually have some time to spend with it. I'm usually a quick study. We shall see. But what does this mean to you, my reader(s?)? (Hi, Simon! And Brent?) Well, you might actually get to see some conversions and possibly even painted minis. "My" Orcs and Goblins army is really my wife's, and she is keen to own, assemble and paint. Sounds like a sure-fire way to over-achieve to me, but whatever makes her happy.

Oh, and one last test: "Hasselhoff"
