Making good progress on the second junction and added a bunch of extras to the previous stuff. I'm glad I'm not in a hurry with these pieces... they aren't going very quickly.

Hope it's okay Gits, I reposted your signs to a thread in the Infinity sub-forum. I think people there will get good use out of them.

I welcome it, no problem at all. They were far too much work for me to hoard for myself.
Sorry the updates have been so sparse, I'm kind of enjoying the fact that I don't have to work like an indentured servant on painting my minis. That, and were having the first nice weather of the year.

Hmm having consistent weather must be nice. The other day it went from being bitterly cold in the morning to warm with a breeze at around 10.30am. Rained for about 10 minutes just after lunch and then got nipple freezingly cold again around 4pm.
I'd kill for a few days of reasonable weather.
And Gits after powering your way through the Mantis warriors for Adepticon i doubt any of us would begrudge you a few days off. I think its to easy in this hobby to get over engrossed in what you're doing and you only end up burning yourself out. It goes from being a hobby to being a chore and that's no good.
Go outside and enjoy the nice weather. That's what I'd be doing.

Never fear... there will be updates. I'm just taking a short break. It's been very satisfying to be able to walk by my painting desk with a project sitting there and just think... "Nope, not today."

Very Blood Angels-like.
I need to do a chapter banner... I'm just no good at 2-D painting.

Based on your die rolling it should be " Alea Iacta Est" - The die has been thrown ( said by Julius Caesar when he crossed with his troops across the Rubicon river in 49BC, despite the refusal of the roman senate, thus provoking civil war. Kinda like the HH only Horus won this one!

@dangledorf: Glad you like them, should have an update soon.
@Dc: Thank you sir, I feel the same.
Well, woke up this morning feeling better than I have in weeks. Took up my brush and did some work on the second junction. Should have an update for you soon.

I am getting ready to bust out some major hours on a Skorne Warlock, time allowing. I think a chapter banner could be a tone of fun!
