Checked out Thing 1's plog, neat painting btw Gits. I'm sure that will be a Christmas present that your son will appreciate.

Also...

Merry Christmas Gitsplitta.

Hope you have an enjoyable festive season in the States.

Gathering Storm

Christmas morning update:


West African coffee in a custom made, Tranquility Campaign mug. (Thanks beezley1981!)

Also in my SWAG for the day... Forge World Mk-IV Iron Clad, Forge World Inquisition Rhino Doors, Forge World Mk-VI era special weapons and bionic bits packs (2 each).

That should keep me out of trouble for a while!

merry christmas all!

Merry Christmas Gits.
Can't wait to see what you make with your 'swag'

that mug is awesome! I just saw it, the picture hadn't uploaded before! wow. amazing gift!

Perfect for those sneaky cups of coffee

Very cool mug, I agree with BBL, we expect big things from your FW gear!

That coffee mug is all sorts of awsome. You should spike your coffee with some baileys or Kahluhato make it more 'camo' worthy. :-)

Excellent news on the FW stuff. :-)

Man I hope this blog keeps going for a long time. Even though I don't comment much it is always a pleasure seeing and reading what you guys are up to. (and more pictures of that amzing dread)

Merry chrismas

Man that cup is awesome! I would die for a custom piece of warhammer swag like that!

You don't have to die for it, just save up some dough and contact beezley1981. I happen to know he's got a second Tranquility pattern mug lying about, and does other custom orders as well.

thats very cool, i may have to look into that some time

Nice mug! Can't wait to see the forge world gear in action!

Cool mug, and I can't wait to see more on this project.

Merry xmas to casa del gits! Great stuff as always.

Thanks guys! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!

I'm kind of ODing on the simplicity of using the airbrush in the necrons which has temporarily derailed the MW project. I expect to more than double Thing 1's painted force by the end of the week (have most of the week off). However... not to abandon my MW project... I will finish the sergeant today and begin the assembly process on both Inushi for Ice and the first of the vanguard with Blackhand's bits.

Will post pics as I get them.

OMG I can not wait. Inushi is going to be awesome.

Big day at the Mantis Warrior armory....

Four (4), fully assembled dreadnought drop pods that were requisitioned from paulguise at the Dakka Swap Shop arrived today. They came with the sprues with all the infantry extras, but the pods themselves are set up for dreads which is perfect! Nicely assembled and in perfect condition Wooot!!

Also, Iceangel's marine for the GMS arrived today, so as soon as I get his shoulder pad on him I'll post a pic! I am energized!! Time to work my MW's into the mix of painting (along with the Necrons and Nids).

Seems everyone is working on projects today lol

Like the FW Dread pods? I covet them.

No, these are just normal pods... they just don't have the guts in them so they're empty like a dread pod would be. Unfortunately there's no way to get a dread IN the pod (doors are too small, but for all intents and purposes, they'll work just fine. If I get ambitious I can remove and magnetize one of the supporting members so a dread can actually be housed in the pod... but I doubt I'll be that ambitious.

Damn!, I never thought to leave the infantry racks out of the drop pods! I may have to gut the one I have....

If you live closer to britain and want a mug I am doing them - see my blog. I came up with the idea independantly honest! Havn't glazed any yet but you can see work in progress on a horned skull, eldar craftworld symbol and of course the purity seal.

here we go - work in progress in the studio

@Blackhand: Well, it turns out one of the support members on one of the pods was loose so I gently pulled it out. Unfortunately the space inside the pods is simply not tall enough to house a dread. Would have loved to put a pod on the table & open the doors to reveal a dread but I guess it's not to be. Still, considering the dread will be moving out of the pod on deployment, I don't see it as a big problem. And the price was right... and they're nicely assembled already.

@weety: If you can come up with a convincing Bad Moon symbol... you've got a sale! Those are nice!

weak i hate it when a small bissuness is sued by an big bissnuess. i know how it feels i got sued by an Canadian company becuase my youtube account was called Metal Animation studios and there company was called Metal Animtion studio... but i hope chapterhouse wins the law suit i did.

are they really getting taken down by GW! thats insane! they aren't doing anything but helping the hobby! thats so silly!

Standard GW practice Sage. And there's no guarantee they're being "taken down"... but they are being taken to court and will have to defend themselves.

A lot of people get taken down for helping the hobby, and this is truly is an unfortunate turn of events.

I really wish i could help, but unfortunately contractual obligations keep me from doing so, I hope they come out without getting beaten up too bad.

Gutting, especially when I know how much trouble Chapterhouse go through in order to keep from stepping on GW's IP. I will be sending Nick an email of support and making a donation to help the cause.
