/me smash box wiv da big spanner …
‘Prophets of Waagh!’ was so much fun. 3 short audio stories about Orks doing Orky things after *ahem* landing on a planet.

Next up on my list of stuff to do is reading the Ork Codex. At best I get an idea of the enemy. At worst I’ll probably be starting yet another army for 40k. We’ll see.

(1) Quest movies …
Most action movies tend to be quests of some kind, don’t they ?
I’ll list the few that popped into my head:
– Galaxy Quest : a movie that manages to mix comedy with a parody of SF-series and their fanbase, actors and conventions. Plus the former actors of the series are on a quest when real aliens mistake the series for actual historical documentary.

– Kelly’s Heroes : WW2 action movie, a squad of american soldiers on a quest to *eh* liberate some gold from the enemy. So none of dem negative waves. That bridge will be there.

– Aliens : SF Action/horror. Game over man, game over.

– Lord of The Rings : the epic quest in 3 parts. The books are better, but it is a decent attempt at converting the story to movie format. No way this series wasn’t mentioned, right ?

(2) race and character for adventure ?
Did I see an Eldar in the Black fortress announcement ? I call dibs.

(3) something cool ?
I saw a demo of ‘Guildball’, ‘Bolt-action’ (British vs German army) and ‘Team Yankee’ (Dutch vs Russians) at the games convention I attended today.
The boardgames still dominate the event, but it is a start.
Best moment was seeing a kid having fun playing Bolt-action.
Makes me wish I can someday convince my nephew to play this one too.
I was tempted to buy stuff, but I managed to limit myself to a copy of the Ork codex at the local GW store.

Anyone seen ‘Overlord’ yet ?
It’s probably a dumb action movie and it definitely won’t be historically accurate (I doubt Nazis experimented with super soldier/demons ;-))
