Let's See How This Blog Thing Goes.

God, how I hate trying  to format this blog. I hate trying to make the image appear behind it, I Loathe attempting to make the text do all the crazy and magical things that I feel like it should. Be that as  it may, I'm working on it. We'll see how it goes.

 So. I'm Ben. I'm a Guard Player. ("Hiiii, Ben.") I guess  I started this blog because I felt like it would help motivate me to get everything painted. Or something. I'm not really sure. Mostly, it was to chronicle some of our games. I'd love to start doing battle reports with our local gaming group. You'd think that with about a dozen 40k players hereabouts we could put up some decent battle reports.

This is also all an evil plan of mine. See, I'm the only player I know who has more than 1/3rd of his army painted. That's not true, our Resident Tau Player is no slouch. But other than Adam, I'm pretty much the only one has a painted army. As  of right now, only my Ogryn, 2 heavy weapon teams, a few vehicles and a couple characters are unpainted. 180 PAINTED  INFANTRY MODELS. PAINTED. INFANTRY. Not too bad, either, if I do say so myself. Y'know, for mass painted Guard hordes. I'm only really proud  of the Commissars and Storm Troopers. Oh, right back to the evil plan. If we start putting up Battle Reports, hopefully whoever's reading this will leave comments, saying "Wow, that Chaos player's no slouch on the table top. It'd be cool if his models were painted." Or "Hmm. That Dark Eldar Player is an evil genius on the table top with those dark space elves (YES HILTON, THEY ARE ELVES) but he should probably paint some of them. And stop borrowing the author's Black Templar as proxies."

So, eventually we'll have some battle reports going on, I'll post some pictures of my army, that sort of thing. Thoughts, Ideas, Rants, etc. And, depending on my fellow gamers, GUEST ARTICLES! Bum bummm BAMMMMMMMM!

But, until then, I'm going to go back to trying to format this damned blog. Aufwiedersehen.
