I have been starting to prep my newly cleaned and mostly organized gaming space for gaming. I plan to start off with showing my son 40k. Along with that I am planning to show a few of my great nephews some of the games I have collected over the years. I am trying to pass some gaming hobby fun on to the younger generations. And if I am lucky I will have more folks to play in the long run :).
In the work of prepping I have pulled out my specialist game forces. Starting with Epic… I have quite a bit of stuff. I have some trees and all of the old buildings from the very old set of “SPACE MARINE” and the later broken buildings from EPIC:A. I started playing Epic Space marine way back… in the 90’s? lol. Anyhow I started with Orks… here is the painted bits of the force I have… (lots more unpainted in a box). I think I had more gargants – but I have not found them here. But I think what I do have will be more than enough options for a 3k list or a learning game.
With the 3 box sets of epic over the years I have more than enough ork stuff. Along with the second army – Marines. The imperial titan that came with the box set back in the day has missing parts. I am hoping to pick up a big one on eBay for this army. As it is I have 2 war hounds… and several land raiders. I have more on sprue and in boxes. Recently I picked up a thunder hawk for this army. Again there should be enough for teaching games.
About 5 years ago I picked up a bunch of Eldar… lots of painted… some unpainted. But I plan on stripping the metals and repainting these for a grand sword wind army. I am hoping to build an army to match the paint of my Eldar 40k Wraith theme.
I have lots of extras – Also my friend Gunnar (local) has a sizable Squat army for epic… I am hoping to convince him to pull it out for some games soon :).
OK – I did mention Battle Fleet Gothic – but I have no photos at this time. I have some imperials that need painted from the box set… along with some extras. I have an Eldar Corsair fleet – which I had played in a local BFG tourney a decade ago. I also have a Craftworld fleet – I have yet to paint. When I get that stuff out and in order I will post up photos. What I need to do here is put together the imperial forces – enough to match up with a small Eldar force. My friend locally has an Ork fleet. I have discussed some learning games with his assistance when I have the kids over to learn BFG as well.
— what do I have left? I have Blood Bowl… I have the original and the last edition box sets. Both sets of humans and Ork teams. Both unpainted but ready to go. I also have my own teams … I have a chaos team (I can’t seem to find them). And my favorite – Goblins!… They are so much fun. I wish I was a better player of BB. But I will be sure to show the youngsters how to play Blood Bowl as well.
