Welcome to Drawn & Quartered, a new segment where I review and discuss my plans on a quarterly basis…

INTRODUCTION AND GETTING ORGANIZED

The first quarter of 2013 was spent getting my final preparations in for the Shiloh Slaughter, which went better than expected at the end of January. The tournament however was the last opportunity to play with the previous edition of the Warriors of Chaos book, so it would also be the last time I got to play with that specific army. I have since sold almost the entire army to the organizer of the Shiloh Slaughter for his own Warriors army (which I imagine has grown fairly extensive). I’ve used the money from that and some commission work to build up new armies and my own Fortress of Solitude...

THIS WEEK

I’ve been all over the place this week, both literally and figuratively. An old friend died over the weekend, so I spent the early part of last week out of town to attend the funeral. I got home and slowly got back to work, in the past two weeks I spent a little time on all three of my armies. It’s about time to focus though, I need to get an army in fighting shape, it’s just a question of which one. We’ll see where the dice land…

MALEVOLENT CREATIONS

As stated earlier, I did take my first shambling steps with the Vampire Counts army...

THIS WEEK

On Saturday GW released the new Warriors of Chaos Army Book along with a bevy of models from the frozen North. I made a trip to my local gaming shop to pick up the essentials: the new Army Book, a pack of Lore Cards, the newest White Dwarf, and a Chimera kit. I spent the weekend pouring over the book, there are plenty of beautiful pictures throughout the book (some new, some old). And of course, it’s all full color in a hard back binding. With Shiloh behind me and a year worth of other tournaments to look forward to, it’s time to start plotting my year.

THE QUE

There’s actually four separate army lists I’m hoping to finish this year, starting with the O...

THIS WEEK

To say life has been interesting in recent weeks would be a massive understatement, my son was born as I mentioned last week. Both he and my wife are both still at the hospital, he was a month early so an extended stay wasn’t exactly a surprise. Eventually, things settled into a routine and it was apparent that my wife would be staying and that I was going to go back home. I’d like to mention also, my son is doing quite well. They’ve taken him off of the IV, he’s eating well and improving daily. He’s off of phototherapy and digesting fine on his own, he’s shaping up to come home before long, and I’ll be happy to have him and his mom here finally.

THIS WEEK

So, things are getting exciting around my house pretty quickly. I’ve been exhausted mentally and physically, and I know it’s got to be about ten times worse than I actually think it is for my wife. My little lady is getting ready to pop, the baby is 4lbs 9oz according to Thursday’s ultrasound. My step mom is throwing a baby shower on the 6th, so I’ll be taking the wife there. I’m not sure what my dad has planned for the guys, but I’m sure there will be a handful there. A bit of the three Bs would be fine by me (Beer, Burgers, and Bowling).

In other news, a new gaming store opened in the area and I’ve been tapped to do some commission work for them...
