				<title>VC question regarding Zombies</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, I was wondering how zombies are in this new edition of the book. are they a viable option? I recently got the older vampire counts battalion  with the zombies. what are theyre uses now? Also, I'd like to point out that Im a total Noob with Vampire counts so I went in with the impression that zombies would be useful and effective, hopefully I'm not too wrong :question: ]]></description>

				<title>Starting out in Fantasy</title>
				<description><![CDATA[   Hey I'm a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> player right now, and am planning for my next project after my Eldar are finished. I was thinking of doing Fantasy, and probably Empire.<br /> I would like to know:<br /> <br /> Costs in relation to <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>: I have heard <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span> is more expensive than <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>. Is that true?<br /> <br /> Ease of Play: Would I be able to easily play Fantasy coming from <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>?<br /> <br /> Work load: I enjoy having having a project to work on (though I can't get models too often) is <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span> much more than <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> in terms of amount of painting/modeling you have to do?]]></description>

				<title>TK a force of order or destruction?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Yes and before anyone says they are non-aligned, I know this but when i look at the army book they feel more of a force of order, sure they want to get everyone beneath there feet but that is only the evil bit from them, everything else seems like a "get off mah lawn" and "give me my money back" type of thing, and when pitted up against other forces they seem to hate the forces of destruction (Such as daemons and chaos), so to me they seem more of a force of order IF they had to choose, but what do you think?<br /> <br /> Also do <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(418);'>TK</span> hate <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span>? (after seeing some fluff from the army book I would have thought they would be jealous and angered by there existence because they use heretical tomes of Nagash).<br /> <br /> Cheers to all comments.]]></description>

				<title>Counts-as Arachnarok Spider </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I really want to field an Arachnarok Spider but thanks to my arachnophobia I can't. So, what model would you guys suggest I should get? So far I like the look of the new Ogre Kingdom's Thundertusk/Stonehorn and they even got the same base size, so that's a big plus. <br /> <br /> What do you guys think? Any suggestion and advice are welcome.]]></description>

				<title>Amazons? Help me out :D</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Not very explanatory in the title but I'm trying to find any old rules, or custom rules (decent ones) that have been made based on the Amazons.<br /> <br /> Just curious really I may make my own rules if need be or if any that are around are seriously out of date just I was looking for a minor side project outside of everything else that I'm doing at the moment, sort of like a break away from excessive Skaven painting.<br /> <br /> Soooo I'm trying to go with making / locating the Amazons! So far I've found 2 decent places that sell Amazons and I'm still looking for more models that I could use / potentially convert for troops so links would be super helpful if anyone knows, but for the time being I'm really looking to locate any existing rules that might still be around?]]></description>

				<title>Need help from Deamons of Chaos Players</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I am looking for a second army, I am seriously considering <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(538);'>DoC</span> as my second army.  One of the reasons is that I can use the models for a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> Army.  Second reason is that I am looking for a evil aligned army (main army is Dwarfs), and you cannot get anymore evil than Deamons.  The problem is that I know VERY little of about this Army, both in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(146);'>WH40k</span>.  I have played Deamons probably 3 times in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> (I used to play <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span>), and never in Fantasy.  So I have a couple of questions for you guys.  Keep in mind that the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> related questions are just for curiosity, my main focus is <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span> and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> would be something I would do if I show up at my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(38);'>FLGS</span> and cant find a Fantasy game.<br /> <br /> 1. Is it viable to run a Mono-God Army in either <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span> or <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>?<br /> <br /> 2. How effective is <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(538);'>DoC</span> in 8th?<br /> <br /> 3. What are some of the things you normally see as broken in both a bad and good way with this army?<br /> <br /> 4.  When do you think it will get an updated book?<br /> <br /> 5.  Were I to get the army brand new how much would you expect to pay for a Mono-God or Bi-God model count to field a viable (tournament wise  2400ish points) army?<br /> <br /> 6.  How does it differ in viable models from Fantasy to <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>?<br /> <br /> 7.  Is it effective in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>?<br /> <br /> 8.  Which God's are the most favored in tournament play? Why?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Well that is it for now, I thank you greatly.<br /> <br /> Grix.]]></description>

				<title>Skaven slaves?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey!  To all of my fellow skaven players, i wanted to share an idea that I'm going with for my skaven army...<br /> <br /> Now if you have ever played as, or against skaven, you know it takes a lot of models, especially if you are using slaves.  And I honestly was getting tired of painting rats, so I got to thinking...  Who ever said skaven slaves actually have to be skaven.  It seems perfectly reasonable to me that the skaven would enslave anyone they got their hands on.  So with that idea in mind, I have been picking up some random boxes of units that have the same size base, and am going to paint them up really dirty and ragged looking, then use them as skaven slaves.  For now i've got some Gnoblar, and empire state troops. I'll get some pics of them up eventually, whenever I get to them on my painting que....  anyway, Hope ya'll are having a good one.]]></description>

				<title>Good VC hammers</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello all,<br /> <br /> As the subject implies, I was curious which <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> units make good hammers. One thing I've noticed in many of the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> lists is people saying that said list doesn't have enough punching power. Is this a function of the list chosen or the army itself?<br /> <br /> I could be wrong but <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> doesn't seem to build like other lists...<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> seems more of a "Ya, you're gonna kill us, maybe a lot of us, but we'll wear you down over time, and you die but we might come back". It seems to have a lot of grinding, anvilly options compared to other lists, and very few "good" hammer units in comparison. <br /> <br /> Am I wrong? If I'm right, can you win with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> using anvil-based tactics and let the enemy grind themselves against you but slowly wear down? I know the hammer thing is really sexy right now but I'm wondering if it's the only way...]]></description>

				<title>Best Army?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi All,<br /> <br /> Are there any opinions out there for the best army based on the following criteria and requirements?<br /> 1.  Good Looking<br /> 2.  not a whole lot of $$$ or a thousand units.<br /> 3.  Fun to play with a wide variety of tactics.<br /> <br /> I play Orkz (<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>) and they are fairly versatile, but mostly run towards enemy, shoot, assault, pray you are still alive.  Looking for a Fantasy Army to start up that is semi competitive, extremely awesome to paint with prefferably extremely highly detailed models that are a bit bigger and more badass looking than others that is not too expensive to get into.<br /> <br /> Ogre Kingdoms looked pretty sweet, but I just don't really want a just run at you and attack play style.  I was hoping to go for magic, feinting, maybe some dirty tricks sorta play style.  A Dragon or big awesome creature is a must have in the army.  Especially if there is a cool looking character riding it. (The bretonians Green Knight is pretty sweet, but so is the StoneHorn)<br /> <br /> ~Dave]]></description>

				<title>Best Army All Around?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi All,<br /> <br /> So here we go.  Rate your favorite army all around. 0 is worst 10 is best, 11 is unbeleivably exceptional.  The categories are:<br /> <br /> 1.  Looks               - Which army looks the best well painted<br /> 2.  Fun                   - Which army is the most fun to play (throw in a why here too)<br /> 3.  Competitive      -Which army is the most competitive in tournaments<br /> 4.  Price                 -How expensive is it to get into this army for good looks, have fun, and be competitive.<br /> <br /> So tally up what you think for a few armies and vote for the one that gets the most points for you.  Feel free to post what you think, argue, rant, and may the best army win.<br /> <br /> ~Dave]]></description>

				<title>Ogre kingdoms are worth it?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ hi all i recently decided to maybe start a fantasy army next to my (megaawesome) marines and knights<br /> I was browsing trough the armies and there are two amies i like, empire and ogres. empire because i have a soft spot for the 'good' guys.. also in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span><br /> but the ones i liked the most are ogres, why? they don't need a lot of models to make quite a lot of points and the minis are freakin' awesome really epic and bloody and everything you want and its good because i prefer spending a week to paint one mini to a relative high standard then painting 10 minis a week with a low quality.. i love to put detail on my minis (check gallery if you like, but remember i'm no pro at all :D)<br /> <br /> so is it a good idea to start ogres? i don't want to loose all the time (bit of a sore loser :D) and i have limited funds (so no hordes)<br /> are they a bit competitive and payable?<br /> <br /> go or no go?<br /> <br /> <br /> thx.]]></description>

				<title>Vampire Counts: Entering WH Fantasy -- Look for Updates</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The store I play at is anti-<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(147);'>WHFB</span>, but my store is not me, and I'm hoping to start, though slowly, a Vampire Counts army. Because there are no pressing deadlines, I want to do this army right; by right, I mean, well painted, modeled and themed. While I do this, I hope to update this thread with questions to you all regarding hobby strategies. <br /> <br /> I picked Vampire Counts because they are so cool looking (not unusual in Fantasy, I think), but also so new; my sloth won't harm me too much.<br /> <br /> So here are my first to questions: <br /> <br /> 1). Is Stigoi plural, and the singular stigos?<br /> <br /> 2). What is the fluff behind the corpse master? I see they work the Mortis Engine. But what are they really? Are they undead, or mortals in league with the dead? <br /> <br /> More updates and requests for information in time. ]]></description>

				<title>Which Army Book will be Next?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Well mates, after being completely taken off guard with the new Vampire Counts book coming out so recently, its safe to say that I'm no longer 100% sure on which Army will be getting a new book. From what I  have heard so far from multiple people fomr places such as Warseer and other forums, the general consensus is that it will be either Empire, Dwarfs or Bretonnia that will be receiving a new army book later this year, however I dont see why because at it currently stands, the Wood Elves are the Army that need a new book far more then anyone else in 8th edition as they cant seem to win any games at this point (my brother plays Wood Elves and lets just say its been painful for him) . Anyways, just your quick thoughts on which army do you think will be next or if you guys have heard anything pending on the new book. Granted though it might be just rumors, its still an interesting topic to talk about as the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> got a lot of interesting new units and characters.  :thumbsup:.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I have completed my all elf <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(411);'>WE</span> army for 2000 points (still to paint and pin... damn wardancers spears keep breaking) I have only played two games, third later in the week, but I wanted to say that they are immensely fun to play and my two games were quite close.<br /> <br /> first game was against a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(385);'>WOC</span> army, blood and glory, after a terrible first couple of turns that saw most my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(250);'>EG</span> die and my mage run of the table it still only came down to the last combat as to whether who would win.<br /> <br /> second game was a really stupid mistake on behalf, with my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(250);'>EG</span> and highborn in a building do not send your high born to face a Hydra, don't know what I was thinking but only lost by about 50 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(140);'>VPs</span> due to that mistake.<br /> <br /> I just wanted to put this out there as everyone states how terrible <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(411);'>WE</span> are, just wanted to show that they can still compete, even without spirits,<br /> <br /> I know two games and two losses is not much evidence but they were both very tight games against so called high tier armies.<br /> <br /> Also I am having a lot of fun with an all elf army.]]></description>

				<title>Bretonnia!</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, when we made the switch from 7th to 8th I ended up selling my Dark Elf stuff as I had no time to play the game to justify the cost of a new book.  But now I'm very much interested in getting back into the game what the advent of all the new stuff coming out.  However!  I want to play Bretonnia!  <br /> <br /> Flavor-wise I have always been in love with them, and now I would like to get started on a Game of Thrones themed Bretonnian army.  Just a small one to start with, say 1500ish points?  If you Breton wizards out there could help me put together a list I would greatly appreciate it!  I tend to prefer infantry and cavalry running things over as opposed to magic blasting them to pieces from afar but if magic tends to be Breton's main outlet of destruction that's ok too!<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance!]]></description>

				<title>How do you run you Empire Speamen?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey mates! To all of my fellow Empire Players, , I recently got a unit of 50X Spearmen from a former Empire player who decided to jump ship and get a High Elf army, and  recently I was able to test it out today in a few battles as such:<br /> <br /> *(48x) Spearmen: (w/Warrior Priest, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span>)<br /> -w/Full Command, Shields, Razor Banner<br /> <br /> Now overall this unit did pretty good for the most part, especially being backed up by the Warrior Priest and the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(174);'>BSB</span>, with the Razor Banner giving them some much needed armor piecring attacks thanks to my Generals Ancient Heirloom special rule. However, after playing a couple of games, though this unit did good, I feel like that this unit could do a lot more then what it is doing at the moment but I just cant think of it. Overall, I'm looking for advice/tactic ideas from other Empire players who had success in running Spearmen and if so, how did you run them. Appreciate the help mates.]]></description>

				<title>Are my Tomb Kings already obsolete?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Pretty extreme title I know, but the more I keep playing against the new Vampire Counts the more I'm beginning to think my Tomb Kings are fairly well outdated. As far as I can tell the Vampires are at least as good at undying hordes, but have a much stronger and more varied sideline of support units and the Vampire Lords themselves hugely outclass any King or Prince I could possibly send against them, what with having a better base statline and then getting both magic items and vampire powers, I've yet to face a Vampire Lord that couldn't just roll straight over all my units and even my tooled up Kings just don't stand a chance. Mount them on a coven throne and I might as well pack up and go home!<br /> <br /> I really want to love the Tomb Kings, I did with the old book even though it wasn't that strong I liked the character it had, but the more I play this new book it just feels bland and flat, I can't fully explain it - it isn't weak it just has no real edge either and facing off against the Vampires just seems to highlight the hollowness of my army, they can do most of things I can do but often better and then some. What am I missing here? What do my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(418);'>TK</span> have that the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(138);'>VC</span> don't because at the moment I'm having a hard time not jumping ship.]]></description>

				<title>What are these miniatures for? Help needed! </title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Okay. I've been painting since 1992, but have only now got around to actually reading up on the gams and how to play them. That aside of the years I have amassed a rag tag lot of various kits, bits, and bobs....such as this motley crew of 4 figure I found today in a VERY old box. I have NO idea what they are for and they date back as far as 1987...so this is my ask, can any of you fine knowledgeable people out there in the swirls of the dakka dakka mists help me?<br /> <br /> Okay here's the first<br /> [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/uglyonbothsides/IMG_0255.jpg[/IMG]<br /> 1.1987 says 'High Programmer'(I think) on his base. I thought it was part of the shed load of blood bowl stuff I had, but I'm not sure...<br /> <br /> [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/uglyonbothsides/IMG_0252.jpg[/IMG]<br /> 2.1992I think it says Fulgrim. Again, I am clueless<br /> <br /> [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/uglyonbothsides/IMG_0250.jpg[/IMG]<br /> 3.1992 Mortarion (or words to that effect it's hard to tell)<br /> <br /> [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/uglyonbothsides/IMG_0248.jpg[/IMG]<br /> 4.1992 (again) Nurgle (I'm pretty sure this is the only one I have any clue about - is he one of the unclean?)<br /> <br /> Any help placing this orphans would be greatly appreciated  :thumbsup: <br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Lists, WYSIWYG, Player knowledge, Tournaments and friendly games</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I come from the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40K</span> realm where lists are examined with scrutiny and everything on the model is <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(150);'>WYSIWYG</span>.   Especially on the tourney side, everything is open knowledge and there are no “tricks” up anyone’s sleeve.  Now friendly games have a lot more leeway of course,  as far as <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(150);'>WYSIWYG</span> modeling is concerned, but my army list is there is always there for you to see, spelled out in black and white.<br /> <br /> How does one go about it in the fantasy realm?  Im sensing more of a “hide till you use it” attitude. Is this the way things generally work?  For example, Magic weapons or armor are not mentioned until they get used.  Things like … “ ahhh  your sword of bloodshed is virtually useless against my bloodthirster in obsidian armor. “ you mention right after you accept his challenge..  Do the tounys work differently than general friendly play?  <br /> <br /> Your comments are appreciated. <br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Quick question for someone with an Orcs and Goblins army book on hand</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, I just bought myself a box of regular goblins and want to keep them at bare bones price as cheap units with my Nasty Skulkers.  Problem is I'm on the road for work and left my army book at my friend's house  :facepalm:   I know the bare points cost for a goblin, but what are the free weapon options for them?  Is it only hand weapons or are spears/bows free too?  I know shields cost a point.  I'm hoping spears are, as the box doesn't contain hand weapon only options.  A quick answer from someone with a book on hand is needed so I can start assembling.  Thanks guys]]></description>

				<title>Which Edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle did you like Best?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello all, new to the forums, long time lurker, first post, blah blah blah any way down to business<br /> Personally, I preferred 6th edition (despite it's flaws, which were many) but that was the edition I was introduced to and initially learned so I may be a bit biased in my answer.  On top of that, all armies have a 6th edition Army Book which is always nice, and I absolutely hate the segragation of Chaos.<br /> <br /> Anyway, state your favorite edition of Warhammer and simply provide an explanation regarding your choice.]]></description>

				<title>High Elf Reavers as Glade Riders?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone, just wanted your opinion on this idea I have been tossing aroun the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(38);'>FLGS</span>. I am very much considering running a Sethalya themed Wood Elf army and if I decide to I plan on running lots of Glade Riders. However to give my army a unique feel (not to mention save a boatload of cash thanks to ebay) use Ellyrian Reaver models in place of Glade Riders. I do realize that Ellyrian Reavers have armor however I really like the look of the models as they remind me of the polish winged hussars and I think they could be painted to look like Wood Elves, also by adding a different head may help (was thinking of maybe the white lion heads or dark elf spearmen heads to give them a unique look) what do you guys think? Thanks for the comments mates!  :thumbsup:  ]]></description>

Does anyone know the base size of your standard dwarf units. I've got warriors, the guys with the guns (sorry I don't even have a codex yet and really know very little about these guys), miners and an organ gun. I'm guessing all the bases are either 20mm or 25mm?]]></description>

				<title>I don't think the Slann is overpowered.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ A lot of people go off on how the Slann is soo overpowered, and is going to get nerfed. But I don't think he is overpowered. I think it's more Lizardmen's compensation for not having war machines and such. What do you think?]]></description>

				<title>The Appeal of WFB</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, I posted this on my blog (paintinglittlemen.blogspot.com) and on the forums on <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(451);'>BoLS</span>, but I am really interested on reaching a wider audience and hearing your take on it (I know some folks are anti-<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(451);'>BoLS</span>...so here it is).  The recent conversations about the lack of interest in WFB and how much more <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> has to offer really touched a nerve in me...this isn't a defense, it's simply an explanation why I find the WFB universe deep, inspiring and so compelling for me.<br /> <br /> Thinking back to a particular post on <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(451);'>BoLS</span> where one of the arguments against WFB was that the background/fluff isn't very original, and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span> is much deeper.  So why do I find the Old World such a compelling setting?  I think the idea of a 14th-16th century European empire transplanted into a world filled with magic, mayan-inspired lizards (visited chichen itza a couple summers ago...amazing.  Absolutely dumb struck by what our ancestors created (even with the constant badgering of mexicans trying to sell me cheap trinkets...)), arthurian knights, elven mystique, human/beast hybrids, egyptian undead, vampiric lords, and vikings infused with the power of chaos all waging war on an epic scale is fascinating.  For a history/fantasy buff like me, this is as good as it gets.  Where else can you wage a battle over an ancient magical artifact with elves of the forest allied with a feudal army from a nearby keep against undead hordes led by a blood thirsty vampire?  Where else can norse raiders seeking treasure (a la pizzaro but with giant axes and furs) become ambushed by lizards sallying forth on dinosaurs?  Where else can a Holy Roman Empire inspired mass of men, backed by tanks, griffins and mages wage war against a horde of blood crazed dark knights and creatures from our darkest nightmares?  The possibilities are almost endless...and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> has so much more they could work with- imagine samurai of nippon attacking a grecian-inspired phalanx (or roman legionaries led by a khornate emperor)...the historical references mixed with tolkien-<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(465);'>ist</span> fantasy is simply enthralling.  Not to take anything away from <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40k</span>; what they've done with that universe, with support from novels, supplements and a sister company is equally awe inspiring.  But for anyone with any historical interest, I think that WFB offers an incredible amount of opportunity to indulge in martial conflicts that never occurred, and, with a little imagination, make those real.<br /> <br /> So what about you guys?  What're some of the conflicts that you love creating on your table top, and what are some that you would like <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> to provide support for?  Thanks for your time.<br /> <br /> JTS]]></description>

				<title>Skeleton models</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Is there anywhere that sells really good skeleton models? I'm really not a fan of the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> one's (especially the price), and the Mantic Games ones aren't quite my favorite either. Could be because the picture doesn't give much detail on their site though.<br /> <br /> Does anyone know of somewhere that sells good one's?]]></description>

				<title>WFB Blog</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, I'm sure someone will yell at me for "advertising" my new blog, but I have the best intentions with this.  There is often discussion on some sites (<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(451);'>BoLS</span>..cough) about the lack of WFB blogs and discussion.  For the past couple years I have resisted posting/creating anything online, but I feel like I have built up enough armies to draw some interest from at least a couple of people.  Hopefullythis will be able to add to the WFB digital footprint; it is primarily a way for me to showcase and motivate my painting and modeling journey.  The site is paintinglittlemen.blogspot.com...again, I apologize if this irks any of you for being put in the wrong place.<br /> <br /> JTS]]></description>
