There's a renewed interest in my local gaming area for Fantasy. Chances are very likely in the next month or so will see a comeback for the game in a much larger scale than just a handful of players. So here's hoping. I played another Fantasy game against Warriors of Chaos, this time at 2,000 points, and it went in my favor. Wood Elves can shoot alright, but their true game is mobility. It's pretty top notch. I'm fearing an opponent that can cause my key units issues. But I've ordered some Glade Riders to add a bit less set up time to my side, and have starting the long haul of removing mold lines and prepping an army for painting...
But there's also a spark locally for the WW2 wargame Bolt Action. And being someone that's fine jumping on gaming bandwagons, that means I now have an army purchased and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. I've chosen my army - the United States. I'm going to be avoiding Marines due to my preference of the European Front over the Pacific battles, even though Marine models have a lot of personality in their aesthetics. So expect painting updates, models, and battle reports for that to start sprouting up here and there as well.
It's looking like I won't be able to attend the NOVA Open 40k GT, even though I've already purchased my ticket. The reason is personal, but since my inability to attend NOVA has come around I've decided to start my departure from 40k. I entered wargaming to play competitively, and playing 40k hasn't helped me any. GW is presenting a game that is the opposite of what I originally wanted when choosing my "primary tabletop wargame". I hope the game does well, and think they have a really strong history and personality with their 40k IP, but I can't have as much money tied up into a game like they want to create. Luckily Fantasy is currently unscathed at the moment, due to it's lack of comparable popularity, but I also only have a few hundred invested.
