"i like Those, could you show me how to do that?"

Gaming partners are the best kind of partner. The best thing is being able to go home with a box of cool toys and talk about the cool toys. Me and the wife are currently in the early planning of a joint project, me building her painting. It's gonna be awesome.

 

TITHI... helped out one of my Sunday lot who's new and keeps losing, so I'm giving him a game next week. Training the next generation of hobbyists to be awesome people is still the most rewarding thing I do here.

I painted two flamers, a meltagun and three CSM for my second squad - the arms, but including my first helmetless head. I don't envy you loyalist and your necessity for having to get realistic and lifelike skin. Dead skin looks a lot easier. Rakarth's Flesh and a wash or two and I have a Veteran of the Long War.

TITHI.....received a stormwolf, 5 void claws, 2 lone wolves, 5 TWC and an iron priest on TWM for my army*.

 

I also received 15 more SWs on sprues.....so think my pretty much complete army isn't as complete as I thougit....

Tith I scrubbed more guard in prep for the ETL. So slow I managed to get 2 models done in 30 mins!!! There's no way this lots getting prepped before the ETL. :(

 

However I have tanks soaking so they'll be more time/energy efficient.

Today in the hobby, I discovered that not one of my hundred or so paints are bright enough or LOUD to paint this Herald of Slaanesh I am working on.  I need to go find excessively LOUD, blinding neon paints.  Also need to learn how to paint animal print patterns out of control.

well, I finally decided on an army to SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY build, convert, and paint.

 

I am embarking on a hobby journey into uncharted waters for me.  don't know if I'll be ready for EtL, but one can hope!

 

with my lovely wife telling me that nerd is what I am, and I need this hobby, I have begun planning out a good "fluff hook" to hang my force on. I will still walk the path of damnation later, but for now I am firmly in the Imperial LIE(T).

 

I have have also begun sketching out some other projects, such as;

 

1. A better, more realistic Astartes armour(well, IMHO anyways).

 

2. A themed terrain project to match my son and I's armies. (he plays nids, pray for him)

 

3. A ouple of special characters for the ol' double H (30K)

 

and an Inquisitorial project to tie all my projects together.

 

so, it could be a busy year for me. I also decided that I am not going to let a fire destroying my start up stock for a hobby store stop me......nerdRAGE will rise again.

Today in the hobby, I narrowed my choices of sub forum to paint for ETL to two.

 

Trouble is, whichever one I choose I end up painting blue (albeit different shades...) :laugh.:

...decided to take a break from building my second (and hopefully last) chaos marine squad in favour of updating the two little 'codex supplements' for the Crimson Watchers and Tempest Reapers. Thank god I found a copy of the old Vehicle Design Rules too!

 

Also decided that I'm going to take the big step of selling off some models for other games. I know, it's a tearjerker to sell any of a gamer's collection, but you've got to do what you've got to do I guess.

 

(That's not actually making me feel any better about it though :tongue.:)
