hi all. i said i would have a blog in place soon, and this my new found friends is it. i think the note in the title sums up what will be in the blog nicely, so right now i'll just give a brief explanation of what i've been working on.

the last few nights i'e been converting the SM commander from AoBR. it was only a minor conversion, taking the backbanner off and just cutting/pasting the skull with halo onto the backpack, but i think it looks nice.

i have decided to paint my space marines red, white, blue, and have accent colors in green and light grey.

rather than bore you all with a picture of a non painted/wip mini, i will let you all know that the captain is now primed and awaiting first paint tomorow, upon which, you will recieve the grace of a photo.

cheerio till the morrow!

EDIT: or whenever i get a chance to do painting and picture taking.
