Planted Some of our Accountant’s “Giant Green Plants”*
The other day was a very busy day, taken up mostly with the annual bureaucratic ritual, here in the States — The Finalizing of the Yearly Taxes.

Enter the Dragon
I was out and about enjoying a couple of hours hiking at Henry Cowell Park, which is a state park near Santa Cruz, California, when I ran across (fortunately not literally) an elusive lesser brown dragon!* My job involves a split shift where I’m at loose ends for a couple of hours in the middle…

The Upstart Necrons and You
Seems appropriate with the new Necron vs. Admech Forgebane set coming out. A dashed good thing those pesky Necrons are so primitive and crude! 🙂

Are YOU a Mutant?
Enjoyed the current offering of Regimental Standard today. I might be in trouble though….

The Imperial Infantryman’s Pocket Guide to Orders
Thought I’d share this because I got a laugh out of it, and it seems like this would be very useful for the several AM/IG players my heroic forces battle against on a regular basis.
