2nd Quarter Hobby Goals

It is that time again, to once again look at what exactly I want to accomplish in my hobbies. My first quarter was very schizophrenic due to my Graduate Studies and my preparation for either further Graduate Studies or a Doctoral program. However, I did manage to get some things accomplished despite my erratic flip-flopping.

Green Templars, Green Knights and the 1st Quarter of 2012

Three months of 2012 have flown by with only a few shorts days till the first quarter is complete. Looking back, I have gotten in more 40K that I thought, but it has been in clumps with much of my time being eaten up by my Graduate program. Those three months have passed with two RTT’s and two escalation leagues to show for it; not to mention one of practice games. Not to shabby, but for the most part clusters of games with large patches of thesis writing and portfolio editing. My first quarter hobby can be broken down into Green Knights and Escalation League…which works quite nicely as headings.

Thoughts as the Green Templars Grow

This army was originally envisioned as a way to see how cheaply I could field a Black Templar army. While I am still going to do this, I have now realized that the army needs a few extra pieces and as a result, the cost will be increasing slightly. Originally, the army was going to cost less than $300 dollar; this was going to be done by primarily using the AoBR Space Marines and Terminators. However, like most Gamers, I have been tinkering with the army as I notice shortfalls or problematic match ups.  It is a requirement as using just the Assault on Black Reach Marines will keep the army from being truly competitive.

The Wee Budget Green Knights Templar: Getting Started

I do not know about the rest of you, but I am NOT burdened by the weight of my wallet; in fact, it often seems to be very, very light.
Often when I hear people talking about 40K and this or that army, they discuss the cost of fielding and army on the table top. 


Taking into consideration the previous two statements, and the fact that I have recently decided to change the army that I will be fielding for our FLGS Escalation League;  I decided to take the opportunity to see how cheaply I could field a valid 2K Tournament army.
