Wow guys you missed the highlight of this post :

HOUSE PARTY !!!!!!!

We all realised. We all got the secret nerd message. We were just trying to keep it low key so we didn't alert all the undesirables.

TO LATE !!!!!!! WE ARE ALREADY HERE

Congrats to you guys.

Lol Thanks everyone! :-) Gits, an en-suite is when your master bedroom has a small bathroom leading from it so you can attend to your hygiene and personal needs without traversing the rest of the home ;-) and as explained a walk in robe is just a big ass closet you keep your (fiance's) clothes!

it's not a huge step for me as I already bought a house when I was 26 so I'm just upgrading to a wysiwyg home! :-) I just never thought i'd move is all! I love where we are but the new place is just too good for us to pass on!

Whaley, your room will be ready when I finish decorating it for you........ :-) heh....heh

This is something that would probably surprise most Americans, but in a lot of other countries (such as those in Europe, or Australia) rooms generally don't have their own built-in closets, and so Wardrobes (as in, Lion, Witch and) are the 'default'. As such, calling a closet a 'robe' makes much more sense.

Good gravy! These look so good I almost miss 40k........ OK that might be a lie but damn Damo your inner Ork is awesome! I also find it funny how you can just tell one Ork is the leader just cause. It'll always happen with orks for some reason, one stands out.

Oh and grats on the house!!!

Makes perfect sense, thanks guys. 'Round these parts we'd call that a "master bath". Though in very fancy houses... the master bath can be quite grandiose.

No hobby work guys but my home has just dropped onto the market yep, the Nerdlair is up for grabs! would make a nice summer home it's a strange feeling selling something i've worked so hard to make comfortable for Nerdwench and I well, I hope it sells soon and for a decent coin! http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-evandale-118992139 open homes on Fr/Sat this week and we move in the new place at the end of the month so hopefully i'll be able to get my nerd on soon thereafter

Glad to hear it's all coming together. I miss getting my nerd fix.

I miss giving you your Nerd fix! :-) I want to paint a primarch again badly!!!

Don't forget to send me your new addy when you move in. There's a guy with a hammer and flamer with your name in it. Maybe a housewarming gift in there too.

That's a nice look house Damo. I really want the chair in your lounge room. That thing looks comfy as.
Glad to hear things are going smoothly though.

Good luck with the sale and new home mate although it is sad to leave the old but its the memories and people that make a home

O yes checked out the link where the hell is the man cave not a model in sight how you going to get anybody to put an offer in without displaying the goods

Missing my nerd-fix too... Stop holdin out on me, man, I NEED IT!! *foams at mouth*


Im kinda fascinated by the construction aspect of your old house. At least around here you never (well, rarely) see brickwork indoors, save for a facade or interior accent wall. Yours appeared to have it all throughout! Kinda neat

Well, my man... Best of luck in the sale and move. Hopefully everything goes off without a hitch!

Hey guys! I've missed you all (seriously, I really have!) but I spent the last two day moving house and have emptied the one in Evandale all into my new Nerdcave in Blackstone Heights! it was a hard slog but I chucked on my Space Marine helmet and felt the power surge through me with the strength ten times of mere mortals

I might be able to paint late in the week if I can get a good start on unpacking boxes to where they belong but I will pop up some pics of the new home and where my Nerdness will now take place! I've got many ideas and things I want to get my hands back onto as I picked up some second hand bargains from a local guy, I got 3 Deffkoptas, a Trukk, 6 bikes for my Orks cheap and I'm gonna have a play with some Damo-esque additions for them.

as far as doing stuff for mates goes, I'll have some more from Whaley soonish consisting of Vulkan and whatever else he needs doing and BigH has gifted me a Baneblade to Orkify or strip into constituent parts for fun and I am painting some models for his boy!

Glad you're getting settled in a Nain Damo.

I really like your Nobz.
They look damn good.

Thumbs up for the last one, with the red helmet on his base. The destroyed shoulder is wonderful. It hurts just looking at it. Bravo.

Ohhh, an orky baneblade. You going to make a skullhamma, or a looted baneblade (they are kinda the same thing I guess)?

Glad you have settled in to the new dwelling and an Orky Baneblade DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT .............

Good to hear it all went well with the move, looking forwards to seeing the new nerd cave.

Good to see you back up and running (almost).

Hey mate - welcome back!

Hey Nerdy. Good to have you back.

Hope the transition to your new place keeps going smoothly.

Cheers guys I appreciate your still being around for me! shouldn't be long before an update albeit a small one probably towards the end of the week

so what do I do with the Baneblade? whats a skullhammer? and could I Orkify it and use it? or do I strip it for constituent parts? any images for inspiration will be devoured and mixed as biomass and evolved into something!

This seems a good example.

I'm BAAAAAAACK!

and boy have I missed you all and the hobby of course, but it wouldn't be as much fun without my friends!

Lots of pics of work in progress stuff and a bunch of the NEW IMPROVED NERD LAIR! so I better get started then eh!

I managed to score some cheap Ork models being 6 Bikes a Trukk and 3 Koptas locally so decided to try and subtly convert them to fit with my Orks head swaps and the addition of swag rolls on the bikes and a front guard on a couple with some new headlights looks the business. the Trukk just lost 2 wheels and got some stowage added, I don't have the codex for them yet so am not sure if the co-pilot-driver on the Trukk is there with a stubber or if I should equip it with a wreckin' ball?

So here's the Trukk & Bikes before priming









So I primed them as well as my Boyz ready to get some proper paint!



Now, my best mate is coming over for a game with me on Friday I now have a gaming table we'll assemble in the next day or two so I got the itch to paint some terrain I had lying around with a quick but effective scheme





And now for my new home totally happy with this place and it feels comfortable and very different to my old home which is now an investment property for us and being rented out this one is much bigger and laid out in two sections which separates the master bedroom from the rest of the house, its a bit quirky in spots and doesn't flow as you would expect but it works!



Well i'm back and looking forward to having a game on Friday (2500 a side against Ultra/Blood Angels vs Flesheaters unbound) and painting some Orks!
hope you like my first update back from the abyss, love to get your thoughts.

You were away? i didn't notice, must check these blogs more often

We'll be expecting a batrep come the end of Friday. And a painted Ork army too!



Your new house looks awesome. I like the two tier deck and the exposed inner roof set up. The bedroom>back yard is an interesting feature too. Kinda nifty.
The wood stove in the shed is a nice touch. Dunno how well it'd heat up a big open area like that though...




Also, loving the beard. The pencil beard worked for you, but the full length set up is pretty bitching too.

After spending the better part of a month going over your work, I must say that I love your painting style. Everything you do looks amazing. Very nice work!

Wow, beautiful house! And some good looking minis, too!
