 Meat of my Nightlords army. |
I’ve been out of sorts lately. I’ve been in one of those slumps and haven’t written anything of interest on this blog for quite a while. First thing is that I recently got a promotion and am now the COO of Asia Online Solutions, Inc. Congratulations to me. One thing I found out was that it gets harder to find time for anything else. I’ve been focusing more on both my offline life and the live@usa.ph podcast. It’s sad that Artichoke Adobo was first to go. |
| I also learned that now, more than ever, I need to make time for my hobbies, if only to make sure that I keep sane. That is why I decided to get back to tabletop gaming. For those of you who have never heard of tabletop gaming, it is the hobby where grown men get to play with little toy soldiers on top of a large table. They move the soldiers around and pretend that they’re generals in a small war. |  |
Very nerdy. Warhammer 40K is a game of this sort. You can read up on it here.
Let me brag a little. I was the Grand Tournament (Nationals) Champion for 2004 and the Gulay Cup Invitational Champion of that same year. Soon after gulay cup, though, I retired from playing, semi sorted out my life, and waited for Juliana to be born. Now, though, I’m back through the infinite patience of Mox (she actually sat through and cheered for me in one of my recent games). And things are going well. Haven’t lost a game yet and that is surprising because we’re using 4th edition rules which I never learned.

I even joined a 7 game tourney and won my first two games. I’m fielding my “Night Lords” Chaos Space Marines army for this tournament. Interestingly enough, my first game was against the only other Pinoy Night Lords player (his name is John Zablan) that I know. It was almost a mirror match but ended quite well for me.
Anyway, keep your eye on this space. I will probably feature some armies here as we go along.

There is a shop here in UK that especialized in this kind of game ,aside from warhammer, we’ve seen some figures from LOTR including the Ents and Hobbits, and some fascinating figures far better than warhammer, my wife Cherry is also fascinated by it but dare not to buy coz it’s so expensive!!! Keep this blog alive!!!

Yes. Gamesworkshop is a UK-based company which makes the stuff I get here much more expensive compared to if you buy it from there. It is not an easy hobby to get into but it is satisfying.
They also carry the license for the LOTR minis. While the models are decent, the gameplay isn’t so nice. That is why I have recently sold off all my other armies and focused on the WH40K futuristic system.
How I envy you. The hobby is so accessible to people who live in the UK. Hay… Keep visiting!
