2009 - While I'm not done with gaming in any way, my interest in it has lessoned to the extent that
after a long run, I have decided it's time to close down this site.
I think it best at this time to shut it down, rather than it become as neglected as it has been through a lack of activity..
I have enjoyed sharing my gaming experience with others,and hope that my documented successes and failures have helped others enjoy they're own.
This doesn't mean I am removing the information here ; for the immediate future it and any resources here will be available for those that are interested.
When I started this site, there wasn't much out there to help modelers, especially those who favored the Orks. Now, fortunately for everyone, that's no longer the case. Various forums such as The Waaagh and other great sites like Cool Mini or Not are now prevalent, and frequented by some greatly skilled and talented hobbyists.
And for me? Well, you can find me happily working on the railroad.
Scarpia
18 FEBRUARY 2009 - Da Reapawagon is being shipped off in it's current state for completion, I simply no longer have any interest in working in the 40k Universe. Check the drop down menu for new eBay auctions.
30 DECEMBER 2008 - It's been over a year now since I've quit the Games Workshop coolaide, and things are progressing. I've been assembling models by the lot for the Railroad, and work even continues on da Reapawagon.
25 NOVEMBER 2008 - Work continues on da Reapawagon in the mek shop.
17 NOVEMBER 2008 - Well the past few weeks were busy - not only with interruptions such as Halloween, but our local gaming convention Carnage. The large scale size Last Night on Earth was a success from a gaming standpoint, there were a few technical difficulties during construction that I'll have to resolve before it's used again. Work has resumed on da Reapawagon in the mek shop, and I have ballast down on mini-yard the the test layout.
26 OCTOBER 2008 - Work continues on da Reapawagon (battlewagon) in the mek shop, and I revised the test layout with a new mini-yard.
23 OCTOBER 2008 - There is a new battlewagon in the mek shop. No, Gooba is not "back", he just ran his big Gob, and now has to make good on a promise. His loss might be your benefit.
15 OCTOBER 2008 - The Orc and Gobbo war band continues to stomp merrilly across the battlefield, defeating a 1800 pt Dwarf Army, and a 2000 pt Lizardman force. Highlights of the latter battle not only include the bolt throwers eliminating a mastadon on the first turn (both hit, bot did 3 wounds!) but more entertaining was the Giant dying in close combat, and crushing and killing no less than an unwounded Grimgor himself! It was too funny not to enjoy. This leaves my boyz with a 4-1 record in the league.
30 SEPTEMBER 2008 - A busy week! The Orc and Gobbo war band got smashed by a Chaos force last week, and this past Saturday saw a Flames of War tournament at our LGS, Triple Play. Well my Germans went 0-3 for the day as well. On the bright side, I've begun construction of my Last Night on Earth board for Carnage 11.
18 SEPTEMBER 2008 - Orc and Gobbo forces crushed another army in the Fantasy League, slaughtering a Skink force. Highlight again, was the Giant picking up the Skink General, and hurling him into another unit. That Giant's on a rampage, I tell you!
In other exciting news, the long gimpy arm of Gooba has struck again - this time tagging the GW real life size Rhino at the Great Britian Gamesday 2008!
(1000 pts). Goblin netters proved their strength, and in what could almost be conisdered the ultimate insult, my Giant picked up and ate the Vampire General for the win. Yum - Blood Sausage!
5 SEPTEMBER 2008 - Finally added a page for Blackreach Bob, the new Warboss model I was able to field last weekend.
4 SEPTEMBER 2008 - Got back from a weekend in New Jersey, fighting an Apocolypse battle with some of me old Orky mates. Battle Report and Pictures now posted.
6 AUGUST 2008 - Work continues on the Model Railroad. We also have some corrections on Nate Martin's great document on the differences between 4th and 5th edition of 40k.
17 JULY 2008 - I've finally gotten the battle report up for the Summer Flames of War campaign we just completed last Saturday. On the Model Railroad front, I have the first of the craftsman buiilding kits fully assembled and painted, now it just needs some weathering.
12 JULY 2008 - Wot's Dis? Da boyz on on da Move? That's right, you zoggers, the Konvitkz saw action last night at our local game shop, Triple Play, at an overnight mega-battle to welcome in the 5th edition.We also have a great document put together for you on the differences between 4th and 5th edition by Nate Martin.
But tha'ts not all, we turned around a few hours later and battled the British in the desert in a Flames of War campaign battle. More soon..
10 JULY 2008 - The trains are running, and so is the armor! New models for Flames of War , and the continuation of our campaign this weekend. Check back for a surprise as well!
30 JUNE 2008 - Some real progress on the Model Railroad including a new video.
16 JUNE 2008 - Our summer Flames of War campaign continues with an Axis air assault on Malta.
10 JUNE 2008 - My first decoder conversion in the Model Railroad section.
2 JUNE 2008 - A futuristic based tabletop warfare game that has nice, pre-painted mini's at a fair price? And it has a decent rule set? Sign me up! AT-43 for me!
26 MAY 2008 - Work on the Model Railroad continues, now with some tree content.
20 MAY 2008 - New auctions up on ebay, including an Epicast Stompa! The railroad progresses, with new terrain work, and a couple of completed buildings. We also spent last Saturday at a Flames of War battle for Kursk; we generaled the Soviet forces, and manage to beat back a German assault.
12 MAY 2008 - The Road to Cairo campaign for Flames of War has begun, and it's not a good start for the Axis forces!
10 MAY 2008 - Kr00zA's Great Gargant Hulk! is in transit as we speak to a new owner out west. I look forward to seeing it completed. Also, some new auctions up on ebay, including my grots in progress, and the tau welding helmet mekboy!
4 MAY 2008 - Updates in the Model Railroad area, as work continues on terrain.
28 APRIL 2008- Well no takers for Kr00zA's Great Gargant Hulk so you zoggers had your chance. It's off to eBay for this one. Major updates in the Model Railroad area, as construction is over, and I'm beginning to work on terrain!
25 APRIL 2008- Only two days left for Kr00zA's Great Gargant Hulk! No bids so far, don't let this one get away to eBay, or worse! Dominate your apocalypse battlefield with this monster!

17 APRIL 2008- More auctions are now up on eBay - GW ork big shootaz, metal grots and mekboyz, not one, but two 2nd edition ork metal dreadnoughts, and a bunch of IG plastic bitz from my bitz box. No takers so far on Kr00zA's , Great Gargant Hulk!, bid now and don't let this one end up on eBay!
13 APRIL 2008- The Auction for is now over, congrats to the lucky owner! Next up, as promised, is a major Kr00za piece - the seldom seen, often forgotten, Great Gargant Hulk! This model just needs more rivets than you can imagine, arms, and weapon load out, and it's ready to crush your enemies. Big? this thing is massive - almost 3 feet tall. It dwarfs my other Kr00zA gargantz, and I was always hoping to have it table ready, but that's not going to happen anymore. My loss is your gain! Good luck!
11 APRIL 2008- Only one more day before the auction for Kr00zA's Fighta Bomma! expires. Look for another Kr00zA item after that! Work continues on the Model Railroad, and I'll be adding more to the Flames of War section this weekend.
9 APRIL 2008- More auctions up on eBay! A Games Day Veteran Sargent, Forgeworld Big Shootaz, a Forgeworld Whirlwind conversion set, Snap-orkz, and a set of assault weapons for the beakies boyz. Look for more in house auctions too, as I have more Kr00za items to go up, as well as - wait for it - Goobaz bitz boxes!
8 APRIL 2008 - The Model Railroad section is now up, as the test layout is under construction.
1 APRIL 2008 - The Flames of War section is now active, but kind of empty at the moment. Look for some more content soon.
31 MARCH 2008- I'm starting the first of one private, silent auctions for some of my models. I'd rather that these go to an ork player, so I'm going to try to avoid eBay at this time. Note that all bids should be emailed to me, and I reserve the right to refuse bids. First up, Kr00zA's Fighta Bomma!
16 MARCH 2008- Had a good day of Flames of War at the local game shop, even got some of my looted allied trucks painted!

22 FEBRUARY 2008- Three new auctions up on eBay, an ork wartruckk, space marine scout bikes, and a vindicator squadron, all NIB. For those of my former friends and gamers who took offence at my selling off my items, I hope you find better use for your time. Like modeling, gaming, or something.
12 FEBRUARY 2008- The battlewagon was sold, and has been delivered to the highest bidder, so no krusha. Look for some more auctions starting 22 Feb.
5 FEBRUARY 2008- A few warmachine models actually have paint! Who would have believed it?
4 FEBRUARY 2008- I've had a lot of questions about the ork battlewagon on eBay, so I'll answer a couple of common questions that are getting asked.
No, I'm not selling the wrecka or any of my models that I've worked on. The battlewagon for sale is one that I doubt I'd ever finish, especially as da boyz are retired; I'm not attached to it, and I need to clear out some room for new things.
I will be auctioning off similar models, and a fair number of boxed GW bitz and unopened boxes over the next few weeks when I return from vacation towards the end of this month, so stay tuned! I'll have both fantasy and 40k items up for grabs.
Yes, I would have crushed the model (come on, who didn't enjoy blowing up models with firecrackers growing up) if it went unsold, but as there's a solid bid for it, that's not going to happen.
31 JANUARY 2008- A model is on it's way out, I have put up to a WIP ork battlewagon on eBay. If it sells, fine, otherwise it will be crushed under the wheels of Scarpia's real life wartrukk, Mr. Stub. Not much point in keeping a lot of the models in the shop.
29 JANUARY 2008- I've gotten some games in now in warmachine, and I've added to those models with a Khador heavy jack list.
30 DECEMBER 2007- The warmachine army has been built, based, and primed. I've also taken a few moments to address some feedback i've recieved about the ork codex and my decision to not support it, you can find those here.
12 DECEMBER 2007- Well after a long discussion with Warboss Bob and Gooba, it's been decided that the Killa Konviktz will NOT be played any longer, under the new codex. To put it concisely, the new codex is pure shit, is an affront to the loyal ork gamers, and GW can kiss Gooba'z burna, Bob'z Klaw, and my ass. After a long, long run, the Killa Konviktz will be shelved. They played their last tournament yesterday at Triple Play on the Mall, a full battle report is now posted.
Thanks Games Workshop, for the wholesale killing of my hobby.
What does that mean for the site? Well I'm going to continue with 40k, as I have couple of other armies including a new Imperial Fist Space Marine army that I want to complete. You should also see a bit more Fantasy here, as the Fantasy line seems to be better protected from the developmentally disabled people at GW who create 40k materials (thankfullly it must be that Jervis Johnson's kid doesn't play Fantasy). I am also intending on finishing my early war Flames of War German army, and I will be starting up a Warmachine army as well. I am not, however selling off my models (unless you make a really good offer...).
But no more GW. I will NOT be buying any more GW product if I can help it, other than a few bits to finish out my Marines. I refuse to financially, or morally support Games Workshop any longer, and for those long term readers, you know that I've done more than my fair share of both in the past.
For full details, see my comments here.
5 DECEMBER 2007- I've worked up a new model as a prototype for the new codex orks, per GW's apparent design. More here.
