In the Beginning...

This blog, like almost everything else I do, was meant to be started 3 months ago. I'm a gamer. That's how I roll.


This site will be mostly about Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. At one point, my intentions were to ignore LOTR almost entirely but the upcoming War of the Ring expansion might make that game almost palatable so I'm withholding judgment on that matter.


GW took our shop away. I've heard their reasons and I'm sure they made sense from their perspective. I'm looking at it from the point of view of someone whose plastic-crack dealer has up and gone. Now I need to find a new place to get plastic-crack, and use plastic-crack.


There are some of us trying to get a club up and running. We don't want the St Louis hobby to die. We want GW to come back someday. But they didn't pick my name. I wanted to call the club, you guessed it, Arch-Fiends. We're going with Segmentum St. Louis. The forum is up. It's empty, but it's up.


Adepticon is just over the horizon, the only tournament worth anything in the Midwest since the brainiacs at GW US Headquarters decided to nix their own Grand Tournaments. That upcoming event is why this hasn't gone up until now and why the Segmentum page is barren and desolate. We've all been pretending that we're working on our armies. What we've been doing is procrastinating until 2 weeks out. Which in my case ended up for the best since my team just fell apart.


What that means is this page will probably see an update at least once a week, maybe, probably, for the forseeable future. It also means that things will probably get moving with Segmentum as well.


I'll probably focus more on Warhammer Fantasy with this. I enjoy 40k. But I suspect the Segmentum forum will be heavy into 40k. Fantasy is the first game I played and it's still the game I love. I'll try to post rumors but without a shop I don't really have an inside source right now. I'll work on it. I'm going to try not to simply repost what others are saying already. I may comment on it though. Once we get things up and moving I'll be posting events that the club is running. Also, there will be a little bit of self-advertisement when I show pics of what I'm working on.


Without an Adepticon army to work on I think I'm going to get one of my Fantasy armies painted. Most likely my Chaos Cavalry Calvacade.


That's all.
