Shew sounds like how my scanners cd just floated into oblivion.and i cant wait to see the dread hand...maybe black hand can be a dreadnought and paint one of the fist black

**tony_nids_10**

That was my original idea

**vignor**

Awesome great minds do think a like...

**tony_nids_10**

I only hope I can make it live up to the "occupant"

**vignor**

THE OMNISIAH!!! Blesses your construct

**tony_nids_10**

Well I am waiting for my fiance's new camera should be in sometime in late november... Until then all I can give are some verbal updates. The 1st dreads custom arm is mostly done, complete with new hand! I'm working on the other arm now. The treads are still a WIP and are moving along (slowly)

I am still waiting for my second AoBR dread to make its way to me so I can start work on the other dread. I am really trying to make something slightly unique here without going too far over the top. I'm a big fan of conversions that are tasteful.

**whalemusic360**

I feel your camera loss pain. Mine grew legs shortly after my last update. My have to ask santa for a new one.

**tony_nids_10**

Put the defib's away folks, the wife got a new camera! Soon there will be pics up of my complete lack of progress

**BLACKHAND**

Awesome, when I see pics of other people's lack of progress I don't feel so bad about my chronic procrastination

**tony_nids_10**

Not sure entirely how to take that!

**BLACKHAND**

lol, just me kidding bud..I can't wait to see some completed Emperor's Shields though.

**Asherian Command**

Tony I rewritting some fiction on the Emperor's Shields army that I am starting to collect. As I have the chapter attached to two other chapters like The Wanderers and the Dusk Guard (bring terminators).
I will try and post it here so Signor and the loreist can give me refinements.

**Element206**

**vignor**

ohh where ohh where could the updates have gone

**Asherian Command**

I know

**tony_nids_10**

Hey guys and gals. Life has thrown me more than a few curve balls in the last month and sadly my health and the well being of my family has suffered. As of right now the Shields are on hold. Sorry :(

**monkeytroll**

Hey, no need too apologise man. Family and self come before toy soldiers, get things sorted and we'll see you when 'tings are irie.

**Asherian Command**

Family always comes first!

**BLACKHAND**

I know where you are coming from bud! Sick babies really put the brakes on modelling :(

**Lennysmash**

Health to you and your family Tony, hope it all gets better soon for you mate.

**Miss Dee**

family always first

**vignor**

sorry Mr.Nids and family most definitely comes first before small soldiers...

**tony_nids_10**

Hey. Due to a TON of issues waaaay beyond my control, I am not going to do a full army of the shields. I'm going to cut it down to just a squad of vets for now and if I can I may try to finish the Dreads. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to do that much.

**wolfshadow**

Awww

Good luck.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Hey dude, I hear ya. I'd like to get the tedious job of painting my models outta the way, but life gets in the way and has done for a good long while.

So just forget about the little spacemans for awhile and go sort out your problems if possible - they won't mind sharing a cardboard box in the corner of your room/attic for [insert length of time necessary].

In all seriousness, I hope your issues get fixed and things take a turn for the better Tony, cause life hasn't been treating you too good recently. Good luck pal.

**BLACKHAND**

I feel your pain!, the squeaking of outraged Skaven haunts my dreams

I second Darkvoid, this is a HOBBY not a job! and you shouldn't feel like you have to be chugging away painting models in your (brief) spare time, good luck bro.

**tony_nids_10**

Ok heres the deal. In the last 3 months I have lost my Grandmother, almost lost my 1 year old son, and my closest friend in the world past away. He was the reason I got into 40k in the first place and without him around it really just feels hollow. I don't have it in me anymore to do any of this and I'm sorry. I will be selling off EVERYTHING I own that is even remotely hobby related so please if you are interested let me know so I can send pics or otherwise make arrangements. I really appreciate all of the help with everything from all of you. If anyone is interested in taking over the Emperor's Shields by all means feel free and DO NOT forget about all the amazing people on this thread and the other one located in my signature. these guys are completely invaluable and none of this would have been even remotely possible without their support. Thanks again guys and gals.
