Just had a disaster - was opening my superglue to do a bit of work and the lid was stuck on. I carried on twisted and pulling, and the nozzle snapped off. I spilt superglue all over myself, wrecked my favourite T-shirt :(. It also means that I won't be able to do very much work this weekend, so it could be a some time before another update. Apologies guys.

Invest in a jar-opener. It comes with several sets of different sized rings mounted on what would appear to be a set of can-opener handles. That + hot water is great for opening those superglue bottles and the damned oldschool twist off GW bottles.

Sorry to hear about your superglue disaster. I really like those last three figures. The ammo-carrying guardsmen really does have the look you were aiming for, of sprinting forwards under fire to get some rounds to his comrades. Nice work, as ever.

When I was working in the Salisbury GW some one spilt Superglue on the table and we told people not to go anywhere near the table, so one guy puts his hand on the table.

That is a truly disturbing thought. :p

I've got this image in my head of a man who looks like comic book guy from the simpsons sat in nothing but some slightly soiled y-fronts painting warhammer .

How many Impeiral guardsmen do you have? it seems like a lot but I don't think that thats right...


Also, metallifan, we call them lew-tenants because of joint-ops. I mean, if we called them the same thing, then imagine, if you will, a group of leftenants and lew-tenants sitting together. A commander or general of some form comes up and wants only the american lew-tenants. If he said "LUETENANTS- TENCH-HUT!" then all would stand up.

You see my point?

Nonsense, poopy-pants! He still gets the +1 Interwebz for textually pronouncing it right. Well... wrong, because "Leftenant" was caused by a spelling error centuries ago, and it stuck (like the DA and Green armour painting error) but... yea. You get what I mean. It's more about tradition than the function, like in your example (though that's a good point as well). But I could ramble for days about British and Commonwealth Military traditions.

Yo, gotta allot of stuff,

I love the paint job, and I was just wondering what paints you used
