Krikey Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Study for Step 1 (Oooooh … so exciting. Yay.) Paint a terminator command squad (5 members, 2 with CML, all converted from Space Hulk termis) Find a summer internship -- doesn’t cleaning up blood and vomit in an ER sound EXCITING?! (The answer is no.) Paint two more speeders. (Pretty much the same as the other two speeders I’ve painted, but it would be nice to have 4) Work on the house and lawn. (Trimming hedges with a chainsaw and screaming 'DIE HERETIC' might make the neighbors a bit antsy, though ...) Paint a rhino (With banners and a dozer blade) Repair my car. It has a dent. And needs new brakes. And the seat needs fixing -- doesn't move. More importantly, I think it needs a dozer blade and frag launchers. Paint a predator. (Magnetized with all the clinky bits) Find a summer research project (How much fun can one person stand to have?) Paint a pair of dropships. Teach anatomy in the lab to P.A. students for a minimal salary and the good will of the course director. (I can do without the good will, but a good recommendation letter might make my heart all skippy. Isn't that just sad?) Paint another land raider crusader. (Second verse … same as the first … though I’ll change up the text and art.) Get a giant tattooed across my back (A Templar cross with superimposed caduceus. Graaaarrrr!) Paint a stormtalon. (It’s built – just need to Templarify it a bit. I'm thinking chains. Stormtalons get chains, don't they? They should ...) Take my army into a FLGS and actually play the game for the first time since 3rd edition. (On the other hand, summer research sounds quite exciting!) Paint some shooty crusaders. (I’ve 3 squads of these built and primed, but I just have the feeling I might be assaulted in a dark alley by some of our more zealous members if I painted and posted them.) Take a long vacation to the Caribbean with my wife. (Perhaps to never return … I could carve and paint coconut shells to sell or something.) Paint some jumpy marines with chain axes and a jumpy chaplain. (Maybe these would keep the more zealous members, from assaulting me if I post the shooty marines, eh?) Pay attention to the wife, who is actually quite wonderful and worth the attention. (No snarky comment here, because there’s a small chance she might actually read it. I love you, honey!) Actually *FINISH* some stuff that’s been waiting (Add snow, frost, and icicles to the chappy dread, weather the LRC and Achilles, finish painting the bastion, weather it, and maybe add some GIBBETS … ad infinitum …) Drop out of med school, join a one-percenter biker gang, and do back alley operations for money. (But then I'd have to call my wife 'Old Lady' and if I did, I think she might poison me.) Finish converting the biker techmarine and paint him, along with his biker squad. (Probably safer than the whole outlaw biker gang, thing.) Realize that with all the time I’ve spent working on my Caestus Assault Ram and Master of Sanctity that I have failed the wonderfully exciting BHL course (Blood, Hematopoiesis, and Lymphatics, if anyone wants to know the full name of my current agony) and look forward to an exciting summer of REMEDIATION‼!, which is a fancy word for summer school. (I think I’d rather get the tattoo and/or join the biker gang …) Paint a PA command squad, another termie chaplain, some assault termis to go with my MoS, some ranged non-Space Hulk termies, more stabby crusader squads, the skyshield I forgot I had, or any of the various other items I have, all of which are assembled, most of which are primed, and none of which I have time for. Sleep. By the way, Krikey is supposed to be studying right now. Productive me. Remediation is suddenly seeming more likely ... ~K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275518-oy-wot-should-krikey-do-this-summer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krikey Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Everything? Cripes, that's a lot of stuff. Predator, rhino, 2 more LRCs, 2 more speeders, a stormtalon, a skyshield, two more stabby crusader squads with neophytes, 3 shooty squads with weapon swaps, 4 bikers, a biker techmarine, 24 terminators of various loadouts, a termie chaplain and castellan, two squads of assault marines, a PA command squad, and a techmarine on foot. That's just what I can think of off the top of my head ... Suddenly I feel lost in a vast, empty space ... ~K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275518-oy-wot-should-krikey-do-this-summer/#findComment-3372367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just convert the car into a predator, paint it and remember to take before and after pics for the ETL. :) On a more serious note, join the ETL, do a few vows, enjoy the wife and the summer. Remember you only live once, but if you do it right you will have a lifetime of fun. Start with vowing the landraiders, stormtalon, hedge and lawn. 2nd vow should be 30 PA models of your choice, the car repair and a romantic dinner with the wife. ( Romantic dinner invite to Terminator chaplain could result in excommunication from both the wife AND the crusade/airlock.)

Das Bee Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 If the vacation to the Caribbean is an actual option then I don't know why you're even asking us, obviously you'd want to paint for ETL :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275518-oy-wot-should-krikey-do-this-summer/#findComment-3372926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You are a Templar. Let the Emperor's light guide your way. As an aside, I am fairly certain that a Caribbean vacation with your wife will gain you the title "Master of Her Sanctity". Just sayin' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275518-oy-wot-should-krikey-do-this-summer/#findComment-3373012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krikey Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 In my defense, I made this post after getting 4 hours of sleep over a 72-hour span of time ... I do appreciate the humorous replies, though. :) ~K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275518-oy-wot-should-krikey-do-this-summer/#findComment-3373219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
