Over the past week, one factor arrived within the mail and I picked up a number of issues at my FLGS (Dragon’s Den Video games in Saskatoon!)
Final week, I picked up the 40K Campaign: Armageddon e book. I’ve had a hankering to play 40K once more, and I do desire taking part in campaigns – or no less than video games with some form of narrative – so I believed I might check out the newest Campaign Marketing campaign e book from Video games Workshop.
I might gone to the shop not fully certain which one I might decide up, as there have been two launched to date this yr – Nachmund Gauntlet and Armageddon. I did not actually look into both earlier than I went to the shop, which, on reflection, in all probability wasn’t one of the best plan… however right here we’re.
I used to be just a little conversant in Armageddon. I imply, the tales of the wars on Armageddon have been a part of the narrative of 40K for many years. I imply, it was the skirmish recreation Shadow Warfare: Armageddon, that severely received me gathering and portray 40K miniatures once more – and even then, Armageddon had been within the narrative a very long time.
I ended up selecting up the Armageddon e book as a result of it was the one one of many two they’d in inventory (although they did nonetheless have the Tyrannic Warfare and Pariah Nexus books, I handed on these, largely as a result of I might had it in my head I used to be going there for Nachmund Gauntlet or Armageddon… and the Tyrannic Warfare and Pariah Nexus weren’t Nachmund Gauntlet or Armageddon… so…)
(once more, that is the place checking issues out to see what was obtainable and perhaps studying a few of the articles on the Warhammer Group web site to see what these completely different campaigns are all about might need been prudent… however right here we’re).
So the BIG THING occurring at Armageddon lately is very large rift gates opening up and daemons spilling onto the planet from the warp…. and a full-scale invastion by the World Eaters (worshipers of Khorne, the blood god)…
In the end EVERYONE reveals up for this stuff (or there are methods you possibly can work no matter power you’ve gotten into the narrative and play. Area Wolves are literally talked about to have a big presence on Armageddon… Emperor’s Youngsters…? Not a lot… however hey they may simply present as much as sow discord and confusion and take a number of photographs at each the Imperial forces AND the World Eaters!
It is type of enjoyable, there are eventualities the place there are wandering unbound generic daemons wandering across the battlefield!
Which jogged my memory of the Chaos Daemons Fight Patrol… I might been considering of selecting it up final yr – so as to add to the Blades of Khorne forces (as a result of, it is simply such a ridiculous whole lot…) AND I might been considering it may be enjoyable to check out Fight Patrol – smaller skirmishy model of 40K with set military lists (just like Spearhead for Age of Sigmar) however, of all of the 40K forces I’ve stuff for, I couldn’t fill out a single Fight Patrol!? I might want to purchase no less than two models to fill out a fight patrol… for the Daemons, these two models would value $125 CAD… the entire damed fight patrol is simply $200… and comprises stuff at present price $325 – if it was all purchased individually…
Anyway, Armageddon received me eager about that once more… however after I went to verify the Warhammer web site, it had been eliminated!! the supervisor on the native Warhammer Retailer mentioned they did have one or two in inventory, however they have been to be faraway from the cabinets quickly and in the end despatched again (however that may not be for some time) checking round, I discovered lots of the net shops I’ve purchased stuff from have been offered out of them… after which I occurred to be within the Dragon’s Den for Free RPG Day and observed they’d one in inventory… I did not purchase it proper then and there… I thought of it over the weekend and went again Monday and picked it up… and the Wrath & Glory – Risk Evaluation: Heretics and Daemons e book, which I might additionally seen they’d in inventory!
And after I received residence from the Dragon’s Den I noticed a bundle had arrived for me containing the Stug… which I might ordered over a month in the past and virtually fully FORGOTTEN that I might even ordered!?
So now I am making an attempt to complete up priming and prepping all these Drukhari and Corsairs… so I can put them into non permanent storage so I can assemble and paint all these DAEMONS!! Largely as a result of I do know that they are going to be SUPER FAST to color and it is good having stuff DONE!
(additionally, the quarter is sort of carried out and the numbers are trying actually low! Ha!)
(this HAS… TEMPORARILY… put me again within the purple – having bought MORE than I’ve painted to date this yr…!?)
