Road to Templecon 2012: Display Board

One of the project that has been lurking in the back of my apartment is putting together a tournament Display Board for my Circle army.  I gathered the materials for this project way back in October, but at various points since then I have either been distracted by other things (DAMN YOU SKYRIM!) or I was missing something that I needed to get to the next step.  Well I have good news for you all: I have finished my display board!

Dealing with *twitch* wargaming wthdrawals

That's right, I need my wargaming fix.  Unfortunately, I now live in an area where the closest "local" game store is about 30 miles away.  The real problem, though, is that they don't really have a web site and although I've been there about a dozen times, I still cannot find anyone with whom to play a game.  The regulars at the store clearly prefer playing 40k, and although I make sure to bring a 40k army with me every time, it seems to be quite the insular crowd.  So what's a guy to do?  While I play board games with colleagues at least once every week, I find my senses are dulled from a lack of wargaming and I feel less motivated to do things that I normally would enjoy doing.  Do you feel the same way sometimes?  What can we do about it?

List Building: Adeptus Rahn 35 points

Sorry about the lack of an update yesterday - I've felt like my face has been in a vice grip and I hate my sinuses right now.  Instead, I will create a bonus post for Saturday in preparation for Templecon (next week! AHHHHH!!!) on preparing for such an epic event.  Today, however, I want to talk about my favorite board-control warcaster: Adeptus Rahn Shyeel.  Last year I went through almost all of the factions or at least considered all of the factions as I wanted to build my Warmachine/Hordes collection.  For a short period of time I had actually owned a small Retribution force and had even converted them a bit.  They seemed like a lot of fun and I played some games with them, but never got the 35-point level to which I was aspiring.  Rahn controls the board like no one else, has a very easy-to-use feat, and has one of the few competitive theme lists among the Retribution warcasters.  Let me share with you my thoughts on Rahn Shyeel.
