Superb blog - full of great ideas to steal. Great work on the witch hunter conversion - I didn't buy him yesterday because I thought he would be too hard to convert (yours looks ace!). Really looking forward to seeing how the Astropath is going to work out.

Cheers Laney

I just thought it would be fair to warn everyone: I'm saying farewell to 40k. Not that I dont enjoy the game or modeling. That's not it at all! This is very much an "It's not you, it's me" situation. As of today, I officially have no time to dedicate to it. At 12:40pm, our daughter was born! Give a warm Dakka welcome to Nora Lynn

Ok, maybe that was a little overly dramatic, but I don't really anticipate a lot of gaming in the near future, but who knows: stranger things have happened

Best Regards,
Rawson

Here's what I got done last night: cleaned up some of the garbage Failcast (though no GS yet), removed some of the overly Empire stuff (comets and fluffy pants), added the bolt pistol mag and the iconic commissar hat. I'm pretty happy with the results so far!

I thought about doing the secretive unveiling (a la Baiyuan), but I couldn't manage Do you think the magazine comes too far down? I thought about trimming the top section off (which would require that I commit heresy, since I would be willingly destroying rivets), but the mag might look better if it were tighter to the pistol. Thoughts?

CC most welcome!

Thanks for looking!
Rawson

Amazing! I'm surprised that I have seen no witch hunter conversions yet.

Good job

Congratulations!

whoay! good to hear the lil earthdweller is finally out in the open! i hope the mother and the wee one are all in good health and spirit?

but you are kidding right? well...gaming...ok...i can see that could be complicated...for sure in the first coming days ... but everything settles after some time... status quo and so on...

and remember...all those fantastic minis... *cringes*

Well, done on the greatest creation yet and a big welcome to the world for Nora Lynn

I have to say it is a shame you're leaving the hobby however I totally understand your reason why, good luck and all the best to you and your family

O yes if you don't want the witch hunter model any longer send it this way

how selfish of me...of course you could relieve yourself of your now totally useless vostroyan army... i could lend a hand or two to help you get rid of that stuff...

Rawson,

tell the misses be well and take it easy. Glad to hear your daughter has all ten fingers and toes. really a shame about the hobby though, my personal philosophy on it is family first little plastic men (or in your case metal) second.

good luck with the family stuff my friend and hopefully we will see you all back here very soon.

Join the cue LOL

ha...beware my pointy elbows...

A hearty congrats rawson!

Congrats Rawson! Unfortinate about the minis, but who knows what the future will hold, plus the real people are much more important than the plastic!

Could you do a step by step picture guide to making the fur hats in GS. I would love you long time, and you'd be doing a service to humanity,

Yes, at least in the sense of finality. I'm sure things will equalize in the coming weeks and the 104th will be back up and running.

You'll have to remind me after the afore mentioned "back up and running", but sure, I could do a tutorial on them...

*starts to breathe again*


well the personal needs sure get in the backseat when a new born is there...all pink and fresh...and that is good and all...but the more the kid is settled on this world i have come to understand that the needs of parents are important too... if one is to sacrifice too much for the sake of the kids then this leads to serious harm one day...


by the way... up till the time my oldest was around the age of four i had a sleeping count per night of four hours...so that was a timespan of almost four years with sleeping disorders due to mum coudln´t sleep because of restless legs and then because of restless junior^^

Congrats Rawson!
I knew you were BSing even before I read all the way down

Whatever you do...DO NOT SELL your minis, life will bring you back eventually.

what that man said!

I didn't see the aforementioned baby situation and now I feel like a bit of a plank, what with my requests for pictures when you have bigger problems concerning a tiny proto-human vomiting in you nice, clean house. Gratz on the baby, try not to keep away from 40k forever. The world needs more Vostroyans.
