Adepticon, Ho!


Well, due to some miscommunication, this entry didn't get put out last Thursday as I was hoping.  So please read on, enjoy and pretend like Adepticon was just starting . . .


Well, it's been a brutal 3 months.

After the release of the Dark Angels Codex in January, my Adepticon team came up with the completely insane idea that we would dive in head first and take the Sons of the Lion to Chicago.

1000 points in 3 months isn't a big deal, right?  Wrong!  After you throw real life into the mix, 1000 points is a lot of freaking painting.  Especially when you are super critical of your own work and have the inclination to be completely anal when it comes to how your army looks.

Greetings and Salutations!

Greetings and Salutations.

Please allow me to take a minute to introduce myself.  My name is Jeff Campbell-Crawley, aka Hornblower, as I'm often referred to in the 40K cyber community.  TJ has been generous in extending an invitation to contribute here on the Dark Future Games blog, and I've gladly accepted!


A brief bio of me:  I'm 39 years old, married, father of 2, a 17 year old son and an 11 year old daughter.  I've been in the 40K hobby since 1988, when I stumbled upon an amazing looking book at my FLGS called "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader".  I've been hooked ever since.

After many years of garage gaming and then finding a great FLGS once I moved to Michigan, I spent a couple of years in the GW Outrider Program, gaining tons of experience running events, hosting tournaments, and spreading the good word of our glorious hobby.  A fellow outrider and I then founded the 40K Fight Club and we've been running that for nearly 10 years.
