FTN Episode 261 – Hobby Ramblings and Blackstone Fortress 40k Preview

In the first part of the show we briefly talk about a tournament that happened a couple of weeks ago and do a hobby progress update.  Later in the show we give a preview of the 40k datasheets for the Blackstone Fortress models.

Hi all

We were all fighting colds this week but the show must go on!

We lead the show off with some hobby talk.  I get lots of questions about ‘how to start painting an army’ and ‘how do you get it done so fast.’  There are no substitutes to putting the time in but you can make the most of that time.  The quick way I was planning to paint Ork Flesh didn’t work out so instead of worrying about it too much or trying to force it to work I changed up quickly and got my first squad of Gretchin table ready.

Paul does a brief tournament recap of his games at the Barnyard Brawl a few weeks ago.  The team that puts on the Barnyard did a great job.  I had a blast, 5 games against friendly people.  I managed to pull down a bracket win and walked away with some great price support.

In part 2 we talk about some of the 40k stats from the Blackstone Fortress.  The game comes complete with rules to use ALL of the models in Warhammer 40,000.  At the time of recording we had just started to see the previews so expect more to come on this.
