This post isn't so much a post as it is a question... I have more Cadian Decals than I know what to do with, but I'm curious if any black Cadian decals exist. I'm considering a new light-colored vehicle camouflage, and white decals wouldn't work. I also have plenty of the Imperial Vechicle decal sheets, but I don't like the style of the markings. I wanted to use the Cadian font instead.

Movie Review: The Hobbit
This past weekend I went to see The Hobbit. These days I don't get out to the movies much, so I really have to want to see it in order to make the effort.
Prior to seeing The Hobbit I had heard that critics were saying "it's too long, unless you're a Tolkien geek." That made me think that Peter Jackson got it right. While naturally making the movies is a money-making venture, I also think that a good part of Jackson's motivations is to do Tolkien's work justice, and to make the movies something that will last decades, rather than a film that will start strong and flame out in a few weeks to be forgotten and/or forever reviled as trash (q.v., anything made by Michael Bay).

Writing: The Battle of the T'nar'o, Part 1
Back in 2010 I made several submissions to Black Library, including one short story and two novels, all depicting parts of a large scale war between the Imperium (featuring the Imperial Guard and Navy) and the Tau Empire.
Needless to say they were all rejected--if they weren't, trust me, I'd be blabbing about it.
Yet, since they were rejected, that means I can post my submissions here. So over the next several posts I intend to serialize my short story of a battle between Tau and Imperial forces, The Battle of the T'nar'o, and I will subsequently serialize the first three chapters of each of my novel submissions. Only War chronicles with the political maneuverings that spark a massive war between the Imperium and the Tau, while The Charge of the Danoans focuses on a specific campaign in the early stages of the war.

Realms of Battle Gameboard Unboxing
I haven't bought many miniatures this year, for various reasons, but one of them was to save up so I could buy a Realm of Battle Gameboard. These days I don't get much time to game, and I am not always able to play in my garage using my using gaming table--frequently I have to travel. So I found the portability of the Realm of Battle Gameboard very appealing. So I thought I'd give this thing a try and see how it works out.
