After 12 years without serious wargaming (things like Star Fleet Battles , I returned to one of my old loves. One of my friends sold off his Magic the Gathering cards and started collecting a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines army. Eager to return to the fray, I elected to pick a different type army and, after learning about the way I like to play, he recommended the Eldar. I bought the Eldar Codex and I decided to play an Eldar army, about which more later. I love the cleaning, assembling, converting, priming and painting of the miniatures. I am a slow painter, even though I'm using a simple paint scheme. You'll also find pictures of some of my miniatures off of that page.

My Army

I play an Eldar army, called The Firehost of Eternal Night, stemming from the Craftworld of Ulthwé. It is a wargroup that travels the Webway under direction of its Battleseers. You'll find my various armies, paint scheme and painting/modelling tips and picture gallery.

Warhammer 40K Mailing List

Chris and I are also managing the Warhammer 40,000, Necromunda and Space Hulk Mailing List.

Games Day

I attended the US Games Day since 1996 (i.e. 1996, 1997, 1998 an 1999) in Baltimore, Maryland and took a boatload of pictures.

Other Warhammer 40,000 pages

I visit a number of other 40K pages, some I stumble upon because of the list I run, others I found surfing or searching.

My Battle Reports

No matter how much fun the working with the miniatures is, blood turned out to be thicker than water, and I got into the fights, with only primed miniatures. Here are the reports of my battles. I have played 3 'finger-practices' and 7 serious battles to date, some of which were pretty decent engagements, though blood flowed freely. I keep track of the battle, on an IBM Thinkpad and Word for Windows 6.0, under OS/2 Warp and my regular opponent Chris Bickfordhad put up some of the reports, after HTML-izing them with CU_HTML, but the ISP got sold and the pages bit the dust.

House Rules

My regular opponent and I played with a set of Second Edition House Rules (12.5 KB) that is a combination of interpretations of game questions by Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers (Da Roolz Boyz, of Games Workshop). They are kind enough to answer questions collected by Ed Etkin, who runs the most excellent Gates of Fenris. The Questions and Answers on all of Games Workshop's games are in a Q & A Section. To that we've added a set of House Rules, some of which are clarifications, or restatements of the rules, or rulings, others are purely our own.
