Okay so just a random update of stuffs. Maybe I will have a better one of a more cohesive subject later today.
First of all, I have another Blood Bowl game on Friday against the Dark Elf team The Mask of the Flying Skull. Apparently the name is some inside joke based off the Dark Elf Logo. We will see who is laughing when my ogres beat his face in. Just need to look out for the Witch Elves. I will do my best to rack up some kills, with them as marked men, or rather women in this case. I stormed through the Blood Bowl book yesterday and I am reading Dead Ball now. They are pretty entertaining novels, and you don't need to know Blood Bowl to read it as Mr. Forbeck does a wonderful job of explaining everything you need to know and more. ALTHOUGH I do suggest you read the Blood Bowl guide that he has put in the back of them book first. That will definately help. Playing a game or two with proxy models doesn't hurt either (My first game had Blood Angels as ogres and I still use Guardsmen as Snotlings. I need to get some Ogre Kingdom Gnoblars to fit that billet).
Another thing is that the Wargamers at Georgia Tech got at least one reply from my post with their flyer, BUT more would be awesome. So if you are in Atlanta let them know. Or even if you only know people in Atlanta, let those people know that they should contact the Wargamers Club. You do not have to be affiliated with Georgia Tech to play with them (i.e. Being a student is not required). Although if you are a UGA fan, you may want to keep that on the downlow when you contact them. And don't mention the Chick-fil-a Bowl.
As well, based off the last Poll I am going to try and start focusing some articles on some of the more prominent list there. Don't fret though. Space Marines (except Blood Angels of course), though being the most common, won't have the most coverage as they are common enough and there are a million other Blogs out there written by everyone and their mother on Space Marine, and to talk about them constantly just wouldn't cut it.
Speaking of the poll, here are the results after 1 week of voting, with 30 voters total.

I was kinda surprised to see two votes for the BoLS armies, so unless you are the writers of that fine 40k Blog, why not share some pictures of your fancy work. Heck, even if you don't play them, share some pictures of your fancy work. Send them into to my gmail for the site (listed over there on the right someplace --->). If it is army pics, send in either a 1500 pt, 2000 pt, or 2500 pt list with them. If it is just a 'umongus collection, just a list of units would be nice..
As well, I am going to talk shortly in the future about something that may seem archaic but I thought was one of the unappreciated jewels of 4th edition: Kill Teams. I think those rules should be brought back and hosted on the GW Site. Great for quick and dirty fun. And I may start leaking some campaign setup for my gaming group (the Wargamers at Georgia Tech if you hadn't guessed). So keep your eyes peeled.
