Rebirth

Okies, check it out, I'm not dead and this blog is far from that either, I know its now been 3 months since my last one, but rebirth should change that :P

Today is the anniversary of my spawning/summoning/sentience or however I came to be, and so I figured what better time to breathe some life back into this place. So without further ado, let me get you up to speed with me and the last 3 months.


February, I was still stuck in England, unable to paint or do much in terms of the hobby, just studying, football, drinking and exams. I eventually fled England on the 5th of March with an NTPC under my arm and a head full of good memories and useless information.

March/April, I got settled back into life at home, got to see everyone and even squeezed in a party or two as well as a pretty good jaunt down to Edinburgh with the guys to catch up with some of our Southern mates, a Good weekend all in all, partially ruined by me acting an arse (apologies for that guys) but all in all an enjoyable month with little in wargaming done but a lot in life :P

This weekend, I was able to have a large-ish apocalypse game with my friends Hammy and Adrian, our Chaos forces against a rather metallic ork hoarde. It didn't end well for the forces of chaos, I'll maybe explain in a large leather bound tome made of my previous lord's skin for his failures. Also in the last month I was able to get 10 more Word Bearers built as well as got a hefty amount of my secret project finished. (I'll be blogging it in another blog soon.) Again I'll post the new models tomorrow with the apocalypse pictures.

So with that you've had a pretty quick sum up of my life and times, this weekend saw me celebrate my birthday with my mates in our local, playing smash with some guys in their boxers, avoiding some people and mixing up some fruity drinks and Scollay-acquired champagne.

So anyways, keep your eyes peeled for a hefty dose of new work and a whole new blog for my secret project.

Thanks for reading and supporting me those who have, and I promise this blog will only get better, after all it can't get much worse :3

Brave New Word

Heya folks, nice to see you here this year, I've not been here if you can guess :D

So, 2010, a new frontier, a new year, limitless possibilities, bright horizons and no real progress so far. Although once again I can justify it, so prepare for exciting excuses, interesting tidbits and other such junk from the rather exciting life of Rayuzaki.

So, this year so far has been interesting for me, had a joyous Christmas/new year session of alcohol, celebration and gin. Although I've spent the larger part in a whole new surrounding and I can actually say I'm looking at things in a new light :P

On January 11th I was shipped off to Gosport in southern England, (near Portsmouth). With 9 other work colleagues for a 2 month course (NPTC) so I'm stuck in England for 2 months, cut off from my Warhammer stuff, Internet, TV, oh and family and friends. Sounds awful right, well that's what I thought at first when I headed down, but now that I'm here I'm weirdly starting to enjoy it. It's nice to be in a new place, living by myself and just getting some space from it all, although revision doesn't help :D

So this Friday was my first night out in England, which ended well, aka me being dragged home by my colleagues, quite drunk and bruised from falling over previously. I still to this point blame the cheapness of alcohol here, except Jaegerbombs..... 8 fething quid. Saturday saw me recovering and keeping my head down until dinner time, when we decided to go Go Karting which was awesome, I've never done anything like it before so it was great and highly enjoyed by all, although the wet track conditions (on an Indoor track? weird) lead to a few spins and bumps but we had fun, raced hard and I did not too badly, 39.376 for a lap, considering 'The Stigs' lap record is like 28-29 seconds I was delighted for a first timer :P

Saturday night was highly enjoyable also, I went to see Avatar which was spectacular and would highly recommend to anyone, that will be a pre-order for the DVD as we speak :P Sunday was rather uneventful but influential, just walked into town and picked up this wireless dongle and a mouse for this laptop (I hate touch pads). So now I have the time I'm blogging to let you know that my next few blogs if possible will probably be un-Warhammer-ish also :(

Although I get a week off at the start of February to travel so I might be able to squeeze in a look to a GW somewhere on my travels and pick up a few new pieces to get this blog going again :D

So for now that's all, life is good, England is strange, I'm bored a little and a little obsessed with Scribblenauts, would highly endorse that event or product :D

Also, this is a little note to say Thanks to my Mum, (sappy I know, she will probably never read this anyways) now that I'm having to do all my own cleaning and washing etc, I now understand how annoying it can be and I'm now so thankful that she does it for me at home, although I might try and pitch in a little more now :D ..........maybe.

Anyways, that's all, oh Hey Alana!!! and Catch you next time folks!
