Tribute

Hi All

Don't worry, I'm aabout to burst into a horendous bout of karaoke, inspired by Tenacious D's hilarious track, but rather a truly talented and amazing musician I have recently discovered.

Anyone from the UK (and maybe people aound the world) may well be aware of the fantastic BBC radio program, ISIHAC, or to give its proper name, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

For those unfamiliar to the show, ISIHAC is the " self-styled antidote to panel games". Each week a group of ( relatively minor,) BBC stars would gather together for half an hours revelry and laughter under the keen, if slightly bemused eyes of, Mr Humphrey Lyttelton.

So, for many years Humph (as Lyttelton was affectionately known) and Co. would put a little laughter and mirth into the lives of all who listened.

Which is why it was a time of great sadness a few week ago when it was revealed that he had died peacefully in his sleep, in hospital after a heart operation. It was litereally days ebfore that I discovered just a little bit more about the life of the great man. I was suprised to find that he had been an extremely popular and succesful Jazz musician (specialising in trumpet).

So, having recently started listening to Humph and his Jazz, and adopting him as my "hero of the hour", I figured that I would make a change from my general stream of ranting, moaning, generally unpleasant blog posts, by talking about a truly great man.

Please, Please, Please, take teh time to watch this if you have the time: its curretnly my favourite piece of music

So, hopefully I will have inspired some people to download, or dig out an old Humph track, and the great man will continue to be remembered for what he was - a genius, both comedic and musical.

So, Here's to Humph, God Bless Him

I'm FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

HA HA HA!

hello all

firstly, sorry again for my never ending stream of absences, but as previously mentioned, GCSE's... urgghh

BUT NOW THEY'RE DONE!

So... Hopefully I will have time to start re-surfing various boards, unions etc. and make my self known again (although, I am generally a lurker on boards...) !!

Also, now that I have finished GCSE's I have time to re-start my three main hobbies.

1) Games Workshop - which has become sadly neglected since the closure of my local GW ( sob.. RIP Harrow).

HOWEVER with the new edition of 40k coming out soon I figur ethat will be a good excuse to dust off and touch up my Grey Knights and Imperial Guardsmen, and maybe even do that diorama I've was once blabbing on so much about...

2) Hypnosis - Indeed, I have begun to learn hypnosis, although I am currently trapped with knowledge of PR (Progressive Relaxation) Techniques.

I've been doing a little hypnosis for a while now, In fact, alost exactly a year ago, when I performed my first hypnosis at my summer law school. In fact, during the talent show (which I entered), someone told the resident juggler that he was just showing off... then he pointed at me and said "he's enforcing his will on another human being... and I'M showing off!?!?"

3) Magic - No, don't worry, i'm not running naked round Stonehenge or drawing tarot cards... Instead I have begun to start taking teh first tenative steps down the road of becoming a Pro, or Semi-Pro magician, and i must admit, i know a couple of really good effects. I'm also fortunate enough to know a couple of brilliant magiciains at my school hwo have offered advice...

In fact, I'm doing a charity magic show next month with one of them... which leads me to an important question...

WHICH CHARITY!! I'm thinkin either an Alzheimers Charity ( a horrific, and terribly underfunded disease) or, Home For Heroes...

Advice maybe??

Anyways, I'm gonna log off now, as its about 2am as i write this, and the keyboard is beginning to swim in and out of focus in front of me... woooooww lol

So, hopefully I will make sure I start being around and posting more...

Peace Out... Scratch that...

AVE IMPERATOR!!

Jamart

P.S sincere apologies for the possibly terrible quality of my post, but as i said, its about 2am, and the need to write sudenly overtook me... heh I'll hopefully be back on form next post

P.P.S OMG!!!! HOW MUCH OF RISE OF THE TAU HAVE I GOT TO READ TO CATCH UP!!!!!!

P.P.P.S I SAW FOO FIGHTERS LIVE AT WEMBLEY!!

P.P.P.P.S i have an addiction in the forums... i use far, fat to many " dot, dot, dot"'s ...

Weeelllll, basically, We're ****ed

Hi all

I apologise for my recurring absences, but then again I'm always more of a lurker on these kind of boards, And I've got exams (GCSE's) starting next week, sooo.....

Anyways I found myself witha few free minutes so I thought i'd type a bit...

I'm sure that many people know that I am an avid Grey Knight supporter and collector, and why not? they are after all the Imperiums premier defence against the daemonic....

Or at least, They were...

Any 40k readers/collectors MUST be aware of teh new Daemon Codex... They look a lot cooler, well... for the most part adn they haev also had a re-jigging of rules.

Firstly, Daemons are now Fearless (i suppose that makes sense)

And secondly, teh Daemonic Instability rule has been repealed this is DEFINTELY NOT GOOD!!

And, thirdly, they are all more powerful

The idea of Daemonic instability is that Damon's only have a tenous grip on reality, and that it is quite easy for the grip to slip sloihtly, and some daemons wuld be dragged back to the warp. This works in a similar fashion to the Undead in Warhammer Fantasy. A big actor in daemonic instabilty is..... LEADERSHIP

Now, the two big anti-daemon rules of the GK are - 1, dameons are at minus 1 leadership and 2, (i think - feel free to correct me)the chaos player has to roll an extra dice for DAemic Instability GREAT

Now, if you refresh your memory at what Daemons no longer have to deal with.... oh dear

So, recap Grey Knight have lost their two most powerful abilities aggainst the Daemon BUT still have the Damonic Infestation rule, which means that, when you DO manage to kill a souped up unit of say Daemonettes, they immediatly come back, for free, on the startingside of the board...

That is not good, at all.

Anyways, in a few months, Warhammer 40k Edition FIVE IS COMING OUT!!!!! WOOP! WOOP!

so, hopefully the inquisition as a whole will be updated.

Anywasy apart from that life continues as normal... I've finally freed myself of my Drama class, now I just need to get rid of the money grabbing HArridan that is my IT teacher...

Oh, and i'm brickin mself over above exams.... sigh

anways, Jamart signing off

P.S I may do some more factfile videos, a la my Valhallan 597th Opiions on whther I should, and what on?

P.P.S sorry for my bad typing and general, understandability of the blog, I'm felling a bit... spaced out

heyheyhey Guess who's back, back ,back, back again, gain, gain

helllo hello hello

Please forget my previous post, please forgive my long absence, and please bear with me as I get to the point.....

Yes I am back, truly back, the dashing, charming, ruthlessly intelligent, puritancial daemonhunter andMan In Blackthat is me has returned. 8)

I am hopig to pick up where I left off, by posting a few more pics of my newly finished, well nearly finished, Iperial Guard army, complete with the new, Saliva producing BANEBLADE!!!

This will mean that all of you poor unfortunates, that have beverhad the opportunity to put brush to plastic, or simply haven't seen my own AMAZING modelswill be able to look on in amazement :D

Alternatively, if you have painted GW stuff before, you can tell me to get off my high horse and tell me where I am going wrong, all critiques will be HAPPILY accepted.

By the by, i know I am not that good a painter.

Also teh diorama i mentioned I was gonna make earlier, The whole Chaos Sorceror, Dark Angels Librarian duel has progressed. I may go into this later...

So here's me your shining beacon in the Warp Inquisitor Jamart, both signing back in and off....

Seeya

P.S Whaddya think of my new writingg style, or shall I just go back to the old style

Whoa.... wake up call.....

Right, hopefully some of you will have noticed that i have been absent from GS recently. This is because A) last week I was away in belgium on a history field trip. And... something far, far more serious...

B) I recently recieved my end of year report, for many years it has been a shining beacon of excellence (If I do say so myself....:P ), this years was, well tarnished. Not BAD, but well, dimmed somewhat.

unfortunately I realised that thisFIRST 'bad' report came out after the FIRST year of me owning my own laptop. this is NOT a good correlation. I am happy to admit that I do have aspirations, for example: OxBridge, Law-Bar school, and QC. and... looking at my report, well, i'm just not going to acheive that...

while recently I havebeen cutting down in my GS activity, It is pretty soon gonna be non-existent. I have a few weeks, for my summer holidays, so, maybe I will have a small resurgence of activity. It is a shame but I do know that i will reap thenice big pay checks - I mean benefits in later life.

So... see you around... just less often... :cry:

If you like music, maybe this will help me get my point across (ignore the pics by the way. :D)

24th Putney

Well...

finally, after some four years my Imperial Guard army has been completed, toiday I had my first battle, against a force of Tallarns....

Unfortuanately i had my a*** handed to me, namely because i was very, very unlucky.

I was thinking of writing up a battle report, only in a narrative style. What do you people reckon?

Also, I have decided to make a duel I had an idea for a while ago, in fact i mentioned it briefly in a prevouis blog.

Any Space Marine TT players will know of Fury of The Ancients. For those who haven't gpot the foggiest what I am talking about, Fury of The Ancients is a psychic power used by Space Marine librarians, the librarian crafts a creature from the Chapter's legends and sets it off in a straght line, burining its way through whatever is in its way - bytheby these are made out of psychic energy/flame.

I am going to have aDark Angel's librarian casting this ppower, in the form of teh avenging angel that ius the symbol of ethe chapter, bearing dowmn pon a VERRRY unfortunate chaos sorceror, who is futillely tyrying to dispel the Power....

Right now I am deciding what colour I want the Avenging Angel to be, Initially I thouight of doing it black with EXTREME highlights to ttry and make it look unreal. Butnow I favour the idea of EIther, an Army of the Dead kinda colour (though darker green) to tie in with the DA chapter colours, or a blazing oirang, real flamy kinda look.

I also reasonerds that teh wingsa would look like a real pure white/grey, for a really cool conjtrast.

Thgis may well be a lonmg project, but I hope to get it finished for September, If it is Good Enough, I amy well try entering Golden Demon, I eman, the Idea is defintly good enough!

Anyways, as ever, your views are appreciated...

Seeya

P.S - I apologise for the bad typing, |I am using a REALLY bad keyboard at my Gran's....
