Change is afoot!

...and at hand, and ahead, and Im sure there is a tentacle involved as well, but Im not sure how...

Cryptic? Yes. Ill share more news when I have it!

Ill just say Ive got a grin that would put the Joker to shame.

Another question regarding the Top Ten, impact?

I was looking at the Followers list a few minutes ago, and trying to make sure I had added all those blogs to my Master List of Stuff to Surf, and somehow I got to thinking...

Obviously I like seeing the comments after I put up the Top Ten list, and people tell me that they like someone pointing out some of the cool stuff that might otherwise slip between the cracks.

What I want to know, is how many of the people that have been linked here have seen an increase in people following their blog or more comments or anything else of the like?

I understand that some sites (BoLS, FtW, a few others) might not really see the increase, but I do try to spread it out to some of the less well known blogs as well, and those are the ones Im curious about...

My years with the Wolves...

Space Wolves that is...

I started this hobby with the dying of Rogue Trader and the birth of Warhammer 40,000. Naturally, one of the first books I got was the first Codex Space Wolves. My youngest brother laid claim to that force, and I let him have it, as Chaos drew me in. Of course, he didnt have sole claim to it for too long, eventually I had a few to paint up and I played them some. Good times...

Fast forward a few years to when I first moved to the Baltimore area and was first haunting the Glen Burnie battle bunker. I had atrocious luck, and my tactics sucked as well, but I still won the occasional game... occasionally. Never against the Space Wolves. Those games were painful. Rhino-rush was the order of the day, and a pack of Blood Claws into my half of the table that early was usually a death toll for me. I was lucky to have models on table at the end of turn three. It got to the point where I swore Id never play against the Space Wolves ever again... And I didnt, until Mikie dusted off their rules within the past 6 months.

Now. Ive played a few games against Mikie, giving and taking in equal measure. Ive lifted my ban, mainly since their previous tactics have been neutered by the changing of the rules, but I am facing the new release with dread and anticipation in equal measure. Obviously I will not rule them out as an opposing force if I am running them, but if they are obviously sickly broken, well... I may say no way until they get "fixed" again.
