The Fall of Prospero and Other News

Hey all, third blog post! W00t!

Anyway, thanks to NachoMon on DeviantArt for letting me use his awesome conversion and overlay my terribly done text! [For anyone that's interested, here's the link to the original conversion before I got my hands on it].

As you probably guessed from the title and the picture, this post is mostly about the Vikings of the 40k universe: the Space Wolves (a.k.a. the Rout or the Vlka Fenryka).

I just finished the book Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett after having previously read A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeill and... wow. There is so much revealed in this book, not only about the character of the Space Wolves and the conflict between them and the Thousand Sons, but other things as well. I'm going to be discussing a few of the things that I found most interesting, so if you haven't read the book and don't want spoilers, look no further! (Actually, you can just skip to the bottom of the post, as I'll be discussing other matters in the last paragraph)

Greetings, Salutations, and Hello!

This is the official launch of Dice 'Til Dawn, my tabletop wargaming blog. I am James, or smguy, or Subsocial, depending on where you know me from. I'm a college student, currently studying physics and hopefully electrical engineering, if I can get into the program (fingers crossed!). As for this blog, well, I kinda just wanted a place that I could ramble on about wargames without driving those around me mad. I'm probably going to talk about strategies I'm considering, my thoughts on armies or games that I play, and fluff. A lot of fluff. I love 40k fluff, and I love talking about it, so expect a lot of it.

A bit about me as a gamer: I've been into the 40k universe since early elementary school, but never actually got an army until around the middle of high school for various reasons. I currently play Tyranids as my 40k army, Khador as my Warmachine army, and I recently picked up a Prussian fleet for Dystopian Wars. My true love is 40k, mainly for the background and models, though I do greatly enjoy playing games in all three systems I own. I've also played Dungeons and Dragons for quite a while and have been involved in both Dark Heresy and Deathwatch in varying capacities. I want to try Iron Kingdoms sometime, but haven't gotten the chance yet, and I'm too busy to take up a whole other RPG.

Anyway, that's me! If anyone is actually around to read this, I want to hear about you! Knowing my readers might help me guide articles in the future. So tell! Who are you?
