Back to Business as Usual

So now that I have a clean slate and the worst of my health issues seem to be falling behind me for the time being, it is time to plot out my hobby time. I expect to start working on these projects in late June, but more realistically in July.

As you may have noticed at the end of my Galaxy in Flames days I am very excited for the resurrection of the Mutant Chronicles universe on the tabletop. The rulebook (which I have had a hand in, more on that later) and the first of the new miniatures range should be released by the end of June, so am I planning to dig into the starter armies as soon as I get them to start running demos of the new game.

Then we have the unfinished business of the Soul Reapers rebuild. I really need to finish up the decals and bases so I can show off the army. It has been sitting in that condition since about the time the new Codex dropped, it is table worth by most people’s standards and I have used it, but I really want to have it completed so I can put the project from a main one into a side one where I do the occasional unit just because I want to paint it.  

 

I must admit it has been a real struggle getting this army back to the 2500 point level that it was at. I will also admit that I think the army is much more dynamic looking than the first go around, which is awesome. I will also be posting the final version of the codex for 2013 very soon as well. I won’t revisit the fandex until next year unless someone offers to help me make it a more slick looking PDF.

I also have a spaceship table to build for my Narrative/Big game Events. It will be similar in concept to my buddy Brian’s original Sin of Alacrity table.

Finally I have a bunch of French Indian War miniatures from Conquest minis that I am dieing to paint for the game Muskets and Tomahawks! It is a fantastic skirmish game set in a time period that I have adored since childhood.

Until next time, keep your powder dry and lead flying!

The Clean Slate

This is a time of great endings and fantastic beginnings into a bright future for miniature wargaming. It is time to say goodbye to 40k/Sci-fi centric Galaxy in Flames and move forward into blogging about all of my miniature wargaming experiences. It is hard to say goodbye since I built a very solid community on GiF and made a ton of new friends there as well, but I honestly feel that in the light of everything that has happened to me in the recent past it is time for a re-boot.

I have re-booted many things in my personal life to contend with my health issues. My life has been a constant struggle for the last 10 months, and as I can see the light at the end of this dark tunnel I need a change of direction in my hobby life as well.

I will still offer 40k hobby content as well as remaining on Deepstrike Radio to talk about 40k lore. I also will be offering content of Flames of War, Grunts 15mm Sci-fi, Muskets and Tomahawks (French Indian War skirmish), Warzone Resurrection, Lord of the Rings and anything else shiny that strikes my fancy.

On top of all that Special Operations Killzone will be here as well, with plenty of updates starting in late June or July. I have enlisted the help of my Father and Brother to help me finish a few Killzone related supplements that have been in the works for ages now. These will include Killzone Zombie Apocalypse and Killzone Campaigns.

So here we are, a Clean Slate for Big Jim in life and hobby, it is an exciting time and I hope that y’all will follow me on this journey.
