Did a little Battletexh instead ... since one or two mech miniatures is infinitely more affordable than seventy bajillion space elves.
Battletech is a much better game than Warhammer. FASA made a truly genius game system there. Their lore is better as well. The novels by Michael Stackpole are the best game world novels I’ve read. FASA was first with the 360 approach to a game world with strategy game, tactical game, RPG, novels and computer games. The international gamer community was great as well. I remember the first time I was at the Battletech center at south pier in Chicago. That place was way ahead of it’s time. We were FASAs Scandinavian distributer so we were treated to an exclusive session when we visited. Good times.

I have loads of stuff in the cellar. Should bring it up and show the kids some day.

The mech miniatures from Ral Parthia wasn’t as well made as the stuff from Citadel though.

Ex/Am Presents: Political Science Theater 40K #13: Loremaster, Where Do Space Marines Come From?

https://therightstuff.biz/2018/01/18/ex ... come-from/

Emperor's Blessing, honored servants. Roscoe and I decided to try something new and do a more laid back episode this time, talking about the Space Marine Augmentation process and some examples of how even Space Marines can end up subject to mutation, given the right circumstances. We kinda devolve into Fabius-posting at the end, but we hope you enjoy something a bit less structured and a bit more conversational than usual!

Break and outro provided by Sword and Bolter

I think I'm going to take up archery again. Going to get a traditional bow and some trad arrows with Turkey feathers. Maybe find an archery club to join.

I live in a condominium community, but fuck it. The cops will just drive by and eventually tell me to take into the forest.
