In Cyric's Name!

We had a fantastic session of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Ed. last night. Most of it was centeted around one room and a simple curse that befell one of our party.

Cleric of Torm (Melchett): "Darling, why do you worship at that alter to the evil Torm?"

Paladin of Torm (Darling): "He is out God Melchett, how dare you blaspheme so?"

Cleric of Torm (Melchett): "What do you say? You worship Torm? For that you die!"

What We've Made Recently

So clearly very little has happened here in the past couple of months. After all the build up and preparation to the Deathwatch campaign it was nice with a little rest. And since then it's been full speed ahead on a nursery for my (then) upcoming first child.

 Then 12 day's early Sebastian turned up, tiny, lovely and time consuming.

So in all honesty I have done next to no hobbying since my last post two and a half months ago. D&D has been carrying on, even including a play test round of D&D Next, So far so good with that, I look forward to more. Before people start expecting more geeky discussion I am of course not allowed to tell about D&D Next, but I'm sure all that want to be in the know are involved in the play testing. I will say I like where it seems to be going. So far!

During D&D this past Tuesday I found time to start building my second Artscale Grey Knight. Excitement for the upcoming 6th Edition release has got me keen for more time to the hobby but with the little man in the house now I don't know how it's going to go. But I will keep a record of it all here for people to see.

At this point he is half built, a lot of sculpting is done but much is just blu-taced together.

On that front I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who have been visiting this blog, 2,500 (circa) hits since the previous post. I see from the stats that most of you have been in to see the Samurai Grey Knights so I'll use that as some extra motivation to make things happen with them. I have a few other plans for articles and posts coming up. The fictionalisation of the Deathwatch adventure 'The Greatest Good' is almost finished and will go up in a slowly rolling release. I also thought to show pictures of my collections of figures from various ranges and armies I have. 

If any of you people visiting this blog read this please comment below and explain what brought you here and what you would like to see more of. Thanks

"A Classic Greyhawk Adventure"

Last night I joined a Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 campaign. The DM, an old friend and one of the players in my Deathwatch campaign had asked me if I was interested in joining their new group over Skype and I jumped at the chance. I hadn't played any D&D since our 4th ed. adventure/party fell apart shortly after completing Keep on the Shadowfell (H-1) when it was new. Now some of the old group along with a younger generation had got together and were going up against the original AD&D module T-1 with a 3.5 shine to it. They had cleared the moat house and got underway to the temple as I joined them.

In a blaze of raw combat prowess and polyhedral good fortune the party was introduced to one Steffen Hawk, Paladin of Heironeous. As you can imagine the party rogue was overjoyed.

All in all the group seems great and after five hours of dungeon crawling and illusion fearing we found a safe bolt hole, dinged (Lvl. 5), killed a par of 9th level villains and, I hope, became a party of six.

Steffen, a human found himself allying with:

Talin, an elf mage who wants to learn to control flames.

Lokken, a human barbarian with a prelude to bad fortune.

Mathryn, a human monk with a mighty beard.

Aelidia, an elf rogue of great beauty and deviousness.

Teal, a gnome druid and his mongrel companion.

As a bonus during the game I also got some nice base coating done on my prototype Artscale Grey Knight.

Plenty of tidying up before he is even base coated properly. 

But as a concept I am liking it more and more.
