Well it has been a slow month for me so far with my miniature hobby. However I was able to get a game in of 40K using the 6th edition last Sunday. It is my first game and while interesting, we had a lot of distractions so it was not a great game to gauge whether it is an edition that I am fond of yet. We were playing a 1K game and it took us over 4 hours to play. One of the main distractions is that an old friend of mine dropped by the store that I have not seen in a few years.
Honestly I was thinking of him as of late and wondering where had he been and if I should try to contact him. It is kind of a chance encounter like what you read in the appendix of the LOTR with Gandalf and Thorin. My fellow Roman antagonist for WAB told me last month that he was rather incognito due to real life issues that are occupying his time. I know that he was not a fan of the current edition of WFB as I am, and had really not been active in any of the forums that he and I would frequent online. As of late however he has been on TMP, so at least I know that he is still alive.
My old friend and I of course struck up a conversation about 40K and WFB. One of the topics of conversation was also the idea of trying to get together to play 6th edition once in a while, since we still had the capabilities to play the game. Not to leave my opponent out in the cold, but he knew my old friend well and they conferred over an idea for a 40K apoc. game in the future. All in all it was a pleasant afternoon and needless to say I was glad to get out of the house for the time. It is my hope that some good ole 6th edition game are on my horizon.
