Hi folks,

I just spent the past week hobbying on something different. It has been a very long time I did not spend time on stuff not 40k or HH related; so I decided to dig up some old dwarves I had untouched since the release of the battle for skull pass. A while indeed. And while I tried to jsutify this change arguing that I had almost cleaned down my 40k Pile of Shame, I did a little mental recap.

Gosh it looks like this is a never ending story, with waiting list recomposing itself as fast as I paint something.

So, here is what is left:

• Aeldarii: 5 rangers, 3 shroudrunners and a dozen of ooP guardians
• Drukharii: 10 kabalites, 1 raider and 1 ravager, 1 archon
• AdMech: 2 robots, 1 sidonian dragoon and 1 dune crawler
• GSC: some hybrids and 1 mago
• AM: 2 kit bashed command squads
• Misc: the true veterans of the Pile-of-Shame, with 2 kit bashed vehicles. 1  Relic Land Raider and 1 Carnaudon
• Plus the Scenery, with the Volkus box content...
• EDIT: and one squad of Night Lords CSM
• EDIT: and lots of tiny marines from EPIC era

Looks like I will still have work for some months.

What will I attack next? Sure AdMech is my guiding rope, but for once I guess I will try to manage these Aeldarii in priority. I did the maths: with a single Corsair box, I can take benefit of the all the bits from rangers and runners + the bodies of the numerous spare guardians I have to build out 2 (or 3 if I go MSU) Corsair units and one additional kit bashed ranger unit. I might even build some characters with the spare bits: a spirit seer and a autarch may be...

Looks like the next investment is defined. Plus paints as I am running out dry.

Following step might be resuming these kit bashed vehicles. Both need serious rework: the Carnaudon looks weird with its Russ turret and the Relic LR habitacle I made out of plasticard is closer from a design failure than from the Hekaton Land Fortress/LR lost DNA bridge I had in mind initially... Yet it is a little bit presomptous daring to figure that I had a plan when I started this kitbashing.

 Does it means AdMech will stay in the waiting queue? Nope, but they will not be the main driving effort for the end of year. Let's say that, as scenery, these will be a diversion to change my mind from time to time.

And after all I have all these WFB dwarves to paint...

See you next time with 12 Months of Hobby pledge. I bet we will have some AdMech and some Aeldarii (if I order fast and be delivered even faster)...
