Game Nights and Good deeds

First off I would like to direct you over to Dave Taylors site. As many of you already know two of his close friends are going through some rough times and he has selflessly started up a charity/auction, offering up a wonderfully crafted Adeptus Custodes army. Time and time again Dave has shown the community his incredible work and shared his tricks of the trade with us, so if you can, give a little to help out a lot.

Next up I would again like to tip my hat to another blog. This one goes out to Mike and John over at SC Warhammer, congratulations on your awesome game night (sadly I could not attend) That being said I would also like to report that BH's own game nights over at Legends comics and games in Cupertino have been becoming increasingly popular. This weekend wraps up the first leg of the on going 'Battle for Het' campaign. With over eight or so players whittled down to the top three its been a long fight for the top spot. If you want to get in on the action come by Fridays and Saturdays from 12-6pm every weekend.




In related news, our host Legends Comics and games took home the title of "Best in the Bay best comic book store" in the San Jose Metros best of the bay. And while the award is for best comic book store we know that a fair few of the votes also mentioned the game side, so from Legends to Bay Area readers and customers thank you.

Cheers

Santa Cruz Warhammer Game Night

Well to do it proper justice it was more a painting and assembly night but for simplicity game night works. So I just got back from hanging out with the guys over at Santa Cruz Warhammer (aka Mike and John & Chris) and it was a fun and productive evening, there where drinks, there was paint and there where bathroom tiles o plenty for painting on. All in all it was a fun yet mellow evening with the guys, hanging out and painting and chatting about the evils of the GW marketing dept and what delightful forgeworld kits Mike had brought over (damn you and your affording nice things) storeys where shared, bitz where traded and techniques where revealed and there was the brief boasting (though mostly by me) of Valkyries. I would like to thank John and Mike personally for inviting me over and hope to see you guys again in future, it was a great chance to meet and talk with some of the other bay warhammer bloggers (we are the only two that we know of) so it was a great meeting of the minds on all sides and I wish Mike the best in finding a color scheme for his new guard, and Chris (I dont want to butcher the spelling) it was nice meeting you. Now if that seemed personal think about this, they live 20 minutes away from me, so least I can do is give a shout out blog wise. So if you haven't checked out the SC Warhammer blog I highly recommend stopping by the see the latest projects and tips from the boys over the hill.

In one final note before I unleash the pictures, tomorrow is my 21st birthday, so in about an hour I will pour my first legal drink, settle in to me couch, and watch my boot leg copy of "The A Team" season one and eventually fall asleep and then wake up and finish up my painting projects from tonight.
