Well, I realised that it'd been a while since I'd written in here and thought I'd remedy the situation. I suppose there's a couple of excuses really. Number 1: my password never works. Number 2: I've been gaming my socks off!
I never thought I'd end up playing Warhammer 40,000 but the new release of the 5th edition rules has seen me not only get 59 space marines all in one colour and semi ready to game, but also painting the latest box set "Assault on Black reach" in 3 days. The gaming has been going nicely in store, with people realising they have a local place to play and meet new players.
The release day of Assault on Black reach saw an amazing amount of people visit and use the store as a place to game and it was great to see. We had at least 10 gamers start an impromptu game of Apocalypse, as well as customers wandering in to pick up or purchase their copies of the box set. The paint supply was put under heavy strain and dice rolled all over the place. I even got to use the shop titan!
Thursday night games has been somewhat successful also, and it pleases me to see people dropping in, knowing they can get a game in after work. My vampire counts army has been somewhat neglected over the last few weeks, but I managed to trot them out against some Goblins the other day. We had to cut it short however as I needed to pick Tash up from her place of work. Looking forward to a game against Ogres this week. If that doesn't happen, I'm sure there's plenty of games I can watch in the mean time.
There's talk of a small 40k campaign using a map of werribee for territory, which will be interesting to say the least. It'll be great to see it go ahead and see how it turns out so we can plan future games with other systems and get more people involved.
October sees the release of the latest Space marine codex, (yes another one). I'll be away the first few days of the month, but there will be someone there over limited hours to fulfil your 40k needs. Check the forum or the main site for more info on that front.
Well, that's about all really for now. Just wanted to let everyone who reads this, if any one, know that Corner of the Attic is still indeed around. It's just that I've been that busy with new customers, new releases and heaps of games, that something had to give, and unfortunately it was this. Stay tuned though because I'll endeavor to write a lot more in future and give my opinion on what's going on both at the store and in gaming in general. Until then, may all your dice roll 6's, unless you're playing me and you're rolling to hit/wound/cause disarray to my army.
