A few things.

First off, I've messaged DasPanzerIstUber (B&C moderator for the BT sub-forum) to see if its okay to post a shout out thread on B&C.  I'm not sure about the policies regarding this, and while Brother Loring (another moderator) gave his blessings, I want both to approve my request before I do anything.  This thread will be requesting guest authors for Implausible Nature and see what the interest level is for it.  Obviously, I'm going to have to be pretty stringent on the articles being submitted, as I only want high-quality and relevant information posted here.  The goal is to create a more community-oriented website, but if the cost is a decrease in quality, I won't pay the piper.  So, please know in advance, that I might turn down articles.  It won't be because it's for differing opinions, but rather for poor content.  Please do not take offense to this.  Another option might be to accept everything, then place my notes at the bottom of the article with my opinions on the topic (dissenting or agreement).  Also important is using proper English.  I realize that English is the second language for many players, but if you are having trouble, you might not get your article published if I cannot decipher it enough to edit in proper grammar and spelling.  Besides those things, and I don't think they'll be much of a problem, I think this idea can take off.  :)

Second, most of the updates for this month have been finished this evening.  This semester at school has been extremely busy for me and is well beyond the expected work load by far.  On top of that, I still have to maintain my full time job to pay my bills.  That has pushed by my time line for these updates back quite a bit, as you have noticed.  You might have also noticed my decreased presence on B&C.  This is also a side effect of my work load.  Everything should clear up near the end of the year.

Next, as many of you already know, the Dark Eldar are being released in November.  It has been officially confirmed by Games Workshop and we'll be seeing more stuff at the UK Games Day this weekend.  For those that don't know, I play Dark Eldar as my second army.  Because of this, I'll be concentrating on building the army and learning the new codex when they are re-released.  You'll be seeing quite a few updates on the Dark Eldar here on Implausible Nature starting in November.  My Black Templar army will be placed temporarily on the back burner while this is occurring.  But this does NOT mean I'll discontinue my support of the Black Templars, as they will always be my first love and are why this website exists.  It is part of the reason I want guest authors.  I will continue to put out BT updates and articles as I continue my quest to build a strong BT community.  Just don't expect there to be huge amounts of them for a few months.  Still, I'll do my best to keep the flow of updates even between the two armies.  Fortunately, that is the great thing about having a website over a blog format like many of the other internet personalities.  My website will always have this information available and it is easy to find with simple navigation.  Anyone can randomly find this site and get all the information they need for their interests.  A blog constantly spits out articles on various topics and is very difficult to organize the topics of interest.  You also have to continue producing material for the blog or your readers lose interest.

Lastly, in about 3 weeks (October 9th), there is a LGS tournament.  I'm told that its going to be based on the Nova Open, so I'm extremely excited.  Its been far too long since I've been to a tournament, and a truly competitive one tickles me purple.  I can't wait.  In preparation, I've been play-testing the list found here.  I've since made a couple of tweaks including taking Blessed Armor off the LRC, adding frag grenades to the Crusader Squads, and giving them Power Fists instead of the power weapons.  Its won quite a few games so far and the tweaks have thus far turned out.  I'm slightly concerned that there is not enough redundancy for the CC or Gunline crusader squads against hard tournament lists.  However, there is a strong firepower base with a significant assault force supporting them.  I'll put in a couple more games to make sure everything is going smoothly and I learn the list sufficiently.  Hoping to come home with a tournament win.  ;)

Well, that's it for now.  Enjoy your evening!  By the way, the Kansas City Chiefs are amazing!  Go Chiefs!  :D
