Skaven day! Yay! Saturday was the first major Skaven release since I started this crazy hobby, so I was somewhat thrilled. I bought pretty much one of everything new that came out (a spearhead box would have been nice for this, but I heard through the grapevine that the spearhead boxes never sold all that well.)
I participated in the painting competition as well, and won first place with the Queek you see here. I got a print of the Skaven book cover as my prize. I was under the impression that I was competing for a Screaming Bell, but I suppose I will find out on 11/21 when they come out. Either way I have a pretty snazzy Queek to field. My local store is "GW Paint Creek Crossing" so hopefully the title of this entry makes more sense now.
I met up on Saturday for some gaming and ran into fellow UnderEmpire member Kariko83, whose Moulder horde is something to behold. I am inspired to hire a few units of Giant Rats for my army, or at least assemble the GR's and Rat Ogres I already own. We set up a 6000 point game (3 Skaven players @ 2000 each plus a Vampire Counts, Ogre Kingdoms and Lizardmen army of 2000 points each.) Unfortunately VC guy started to feel sick at the top of turn 2 and we called the game. I played 1500 against the Ogre Kingdoms guy later and suprised him with Clan Pestilens fun (and I quote, "Nobody has even done that to me before! Not even Blood Knights! Those things are so broken!") Hooray! I finally got accused of cheese! He ended up winning with table quarters and standards, and the game was great fun. I play about once or twice a year normally, so to get almost 8 turns in was a rare treat.
Deathmaster Snikch was nowhere to be found on Skaven day. Pfft. Isn't that just like clan Eshin?

"Nekroplanet Grob" is an incredible, spooky, and grimly whimsical sci-fi
setting created by Ana Polanšćak, also known as Gardens of Hecate. It's a
