I am really sorry. I know that might not mean much, but damn I hope thinsg turn out better.

I have been looking into this thread for a long time. Great work overall, It feels sad that you are selling them all away. I may be able to buy some of your stuff if you want.

Seconded. I hope your boy is doing ok, nearly kills me when my girl is sick.

My Dakka experience won't be the same without you bro.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thanks guys. If anyone wants anything (like a list) PM me.

Well, Tony my friend, it is unfortunate that all this has happened to you (to say the least).

I, for one, will be continueing this project if I can ever find the time, and I hope that one day you will decide to return and see if our collective lazy a$ses have accomplished anything.


Good luck with life, hope things improve for you.

Oh man, sorry to hear of the turns life has thrown at you. Sorry to see you go Tony, but hope all goes well for you and yours. Have a good life, and who knows, maybe one day you'll pop back in to see how little we've done.

All the best for the future my friend. Dakka forum will be that little bit poorer for your loss sir.

All the best to the family and God bless you.

Dakka, and the community as a whole, is, truly, loosing a person that will be missed. Those that keep positive attitudes about criticism and give positive criticism to others are few between. I will always be open to a Tony_nids comment on any blog I ever do, so if feeling nostalgic or just really bored, swing on by. Good luck, and it is my deepest wishes that things only look up from this point forward in your life. I PM'd you about buying some things, and if there is anything else, war-gaming or otherwise, that I can do to help, please let me know.

Feel like we need a song or fireworks or something.....

Don't go getting too excited but I am back. Also I am toning down the Shields a bit for myself. I think I may go back to the original idea of just a killteam. Not sure though. Hmm...

Glad to hear that you are back.

Hey tony, good to see you again. Take it easy, looking forward to seeing whatever it is you continue with.

Glad you are back my friend

Glad you are giving it a second chance. If you decide you really can't, then know that you have people you can talk to if you change your mind down the road, even if its not 40k related. Scaling down, slowing down, and just taking it easy might be good for the ES and Tony_Nids.

Good to have you back, Tony!

Welcome back Bro! I went the single unit route with my Sabre Legion in the end as well, it's definitely less intimidating then an entire army conversion.

Welcome back Tony.

I'm glad your back man

By the way, this weekend I'll try and remember to post all the unit equivelents from the BA 'dex for this one if you want to do counts-as.

Then I'll have to get around to making another fandex..

Welcome Back Mr.Nids

Believe it or not I have a minor update!! No pics but hey, it's something! I dusted off the box I hid all of my 40k stuff in (believe me, there was some dust) and started the process of rebuilding my workstation. I really do need to come up with something less temporary. I don't think the wife appreciates me leaving little plastic bits and shavings in bed As soon as I manage to get everything set out and ready I will resume work on the Shields. I really hope that people forgive me for the break! You still out there Vig?

Hey, nothing to forgive tony. We're just eager to see some lovely 'nids...err I mean Emperor's Shields, some lovely Emperor's Shields

Glad you can at least look at minis, and even work on them! Anything you need, lemme know, I'd be more then happy to help.

Thanks again guys, I still cant get over all the support for someone that is for the most part a stranger. I might even have to pick up a nid or two for a fun conversion idea but thats a whole other project that I will start and not finish

I hope the Marines (Semper fields) arrived ok. if i ad your house address would of been faster.

Mr.nids how are you and the shields doing.i hope well

Progress has been minimal at best. I had to go through and sell a fair amount of stuff to pay off a few late bills...

Well Tony, I wish you the best as ever, but no RnR is no good.

Ah, look at me telling you how to live when I know nothing of your situation. Ignore me, and look after your family dude.

We all hope things go well for you, and if you ever need a chat or a vent, or hell some hobby advice, we're all here for ya.

Hobby advice on a hobby site? What is this concept

I did keep a few of the more important items to my cause. I'm also going to trade a few specialized units for a bit of tattoo work. Thankfully geeks have day jobs too. Makes me wish we used a barter system more often in real life.

Either way I'm putting a little faith into my dread to kick start things again for me. I'll try and get some pics at some point of the minimal progress.... I swear there will be a real update at some point.

Thanks again for all the support from everyone, it means more than you know.

Glad to hear it. 'It' being any one of the things you just told us; have your pick.

Believe me, Tony, I'll get right on the fandex.. right after I've finished my Crondex.. and my Magpie Marine 'dex.. that I haven't started yet.. err.. I'll get back to you on that one.

I made some progress on my dreads! I finished what will be the base for the new quad legs on Dread Alpha and I am finishing up the "thighs" on Dread Omega. I am currently without a camera at the moment so pictures are a little difficult to come by. If I cant get a replacement soon I will just take some pictures with my phone so at least there will be something to look at Sorry for the shabby update but it's the best I can do at the moment. On a side not I was wondering if anyone had any AoBR marines/terminators/dreads? A good friend sent me a few in the mail a few weeks ago and I have to admit it brightened my day greatly. I had forgotten they were on the way and when I got home and saw a box waiting for me on the table with a magic marker purity seal on it I almost jumped for joy! Wow I get off topic easily... sorry about that Anyway, if you have any of those three items up for trade or sale let me know! I've finally got my financial issues cleared up so I now have some money to work with!
