I'm happy wherever you are updating.

and assuming Thing 2 is young enough to still be much smaller than you, as a percentage of total weight, he will almost always loose more than you. Just don't tell him that if you start to struggle to keep up with painting his beasties.

Keep it up.

I'm proud of you Gits. Keep up the healthy work

Well, he beat me again... but we both lost lbs, so it's all good. That means painting more 'nids is in my immediate future!

facebalm?...is that for the recent string of face palms?

Fixed that, thanks wyfox.

You're looking slimmer already, or is it the camera angle... Nice change of avatar.

I couldn't find the close-up, so this is the best I could do.

I heard a rumor that their might be an actual Mantis Warrior update some time next week. It's just a rumor, but you can always keep your fingers crossed (I know I am).

<Crosses fingers>

That's a dirty lie to get the page count up.

Naaaah, nobody reads this blog anymore anyway.

We need to support the Mantis Warriors, otherwise your grots will sneak in and loot everything!

Sneaky gits...

I can't take the rejection. Need a mantis fix....

I'll try really hard gang. Got "the bug" (pardon the pun) but had to work the entire weekend so I'm pretty spent. I'm still keeping my hopes up though and will do my absolute best to set some time aside to work on things.

As promised, I AM actually doing something. I want it to be a bit of a surprise so I'm holding back on any pics for now. Expect something in a couple of days through.

Can we at least get an out of focus picture taken during an earthquake of what you are doing? Even GW gives us that much...

Oooh, shiny. Can’t wait for a better pic!

It's a squig. Trying to look like a tank. But I can see it clearly.

Earthquake in Wisconsin?

Agree with above. Shiny.

Thats cool, a bit weird though as I was planning to get one of those for my MW in a couple of months.

... a pair of shoes?

Hey, I had to work really hard to come up with a photo that was appropriately blurry and had looked like it'd been taking during an earthquake, then printed in some magazine. Show some respect for artistry when you see it!

This is the phallic version of the tank. I've got all the parts cleaned up & ready for assembly which I hope to start this evening.

Excellent.. we look forward to the WIP Pics

I see no earthquake. This picture is perfectly stabilised.

What do you mean I'm not allowed to post while riding a jackhammer?

Looking forward to moar!

Got that model too, still waiting in sprues...

I've heard of a lot of miscasts / misalignments with that one, did you experience it as well ?

Ooh a loyalist tank I'm rather fond (jealous) of, I love the hull on the sicarans, looking forward to this one.

Ah, the Phallus-pattern tank, Impudicus variant. Not just for Emperor's Children!

Funny that... I was thinking about sending the whole thing to Damo and have him give it his "personal" EC touch... but then I came to my senses...

Tons of gaming going on around the house which has cut into my tank-time. Just got done battling Thing 2 and his Nids to a draw... not bad considering I was once again fielding my grot horde. They're kinda shooty actually. Get to play at my FLGS tonight, perhaps for the last time in a long while (like, 3 years). Hope not, but it's a possibility. Still planning on a substantive update some time this week. All I need is two sessions of about 2 hours each and I could make some major headway.
