I do watch as much as I can when I can...
Depends from how I feel and so on...gotta watch it alone as my wife can't stand z's ...only Shaun's z's she ever enjoyed...
Just for the sake of our all sanity...dale died yesterday on my big screen...
I've watched due stupidity the last episode of the third season already so I know a tough girl who literally bitten the dust.... For everything concerning the fourth season I would like to get not spoilered...I think it will take a while still till this will get airtime here...
But do talk about what you know for so far...(I don't think watching the show in English would do me any good...wouldn't get anything from Daryl or t-dog I expect...they probably have quite some nasty accents...?)

Ups...totally didn't see your auto added update there...looks good...tho that rhino door pulls it rather strong in a 40k related context for me...

And...you have to be wary for everything pemguins married to god related stuff...(insert blues brothers scene here)

@scrunty, Thanks, I hope to see some more marvelous stuff from you the servitor with the wrecking balls is great , now you just need two Molly Cyrus figs for it
@Vik, It's part of a land raider door, I was trying to find one of my many old version rhino doors as that would be less familiar than what you see there.

I think I need to start investing in zombies.....Mantic? or wargamesfactory?

Hmmm...depends on what look of zombies your more attached to...but my advice would be to look for second hand gw zombies...there you probably get the most for your dollar...after that then the egg stuff as these are more modern looking...

Ah...a landraider door...I see...

viks, autocorrect egg stuff. I guess you mean WGF. That reminds me I have my GW legion of zombie superheroes sitting in a box. Undead batman, green lantern, green arrow, nightwing and the flash (he's a runner ) that can be on the outside of the fence.

That'll be wicked! And autocorection is a dear friend and fiend likewise
Did we see them already? If so it has to be long ago...

Are we going the whole hog and building the entire prison now then I see your point about the pic I did not even relate it in that way
Sorry Vik hope not to much damage done now just watch the dam thing

I see your point about the info Mark updates with, but to be honest its probably what he is being told so swings and roundabouts.
Don't get me wrong the kits are pretty dam amazing but I do think WGF have over stretched on what they can actually can deliver.

Oh, OT here..but another great series on Netflix is Eureka.

@vik, I think a couple made cameo appearances before, but it would have been way back.
@LDD, oh I'm sure most of the problem is WGFs fault, but mark also needs to be on top of everything, and sure of his answers before they go out.
@Dave, I was never a big fan of Eureka, saw a few, but then lost interest. I think after Arrow I will try and see if I can download Agents of Shield

Back from my first night at work, actually doing stuff. I'm glad I left the pedometer at home, because I don't want to know how many steps I took. Started off with the monthly department meeting an hour of complaining later we were half way through the meeting , and nothing to do with my actual job. They guy I trained with is pretty nice, it was hard to get him to start talking, but by lunch we were chumming it up.

Got permission to bring these home.

They are the center of the buffing and burnishing pads for the machines I'll be using. I think I have a clever plan, but I must consult black adder to be sure.

@shaso, the funny hing about the ethics was they lied to everyone scheduled or Saturdays orientation telling us the building where it was going to be held was being fumigated and we were not allowed in because of toxic gases. Turns out he just had o few people for the Saturday orientation they wanted cancel and move them to the Monday orientation to save money. But it was all about ethics .

I am always amazed when companies that one would think would be more ethical, lie, and make excuses rather than own up to the truth and be honest and sincere.

Faith based organizations who practice such always come out looking the worst and most hypocritical when it comes to light that they have been unethical and dishonest in any shape or form, and I have seen all denominations do this. The main reason they go Not for profit is tax write offs and immunity.

Anyway, back to the wonderful paint work of these Scythes of the Emperor!

Eureka gets really good st the 2nd season (where I am now)

How was work Theo? Tell me all about it!

@Galorn, saw that posted over in Dr. H, thread or was it shasos. It's a trap
@Shaso, Learned a lot from the meeting , mainly just do your job, CYA, and the management team is hired in to run the facility, and are not promoted from within.
@Dave, I'll give it another go in a little while, but theres a few others in the cue and now my down time is more limited.....stupid work.
@Nafarious, It was fine. It will be mind numbing work. and the machines are built for short people not someone 6'5". Sweep, Scrub, Buff repeat ad infinitum. Now I realize the imperium was looking out for the mental health of the servitors by lobotomizing them for their own sanity.

Well out of everything last night the thing I got the most enjoyment from was the elevator. The nice womans voice saying "Going Down" reminds me of My DakkaDakka Blog . Working the second shift has it's advantages, most of the hospital is quiet after 7pm when the cafeteria closes and most procedures are done. Everyone is friendly, forced rule of 5/10. At 10' you must smile and acknowledge whoever is around you. At 5' you must say something to great them.

Lots of walking, my legs are hurting from not moving around as much over the last 8 months, now I'll be walking loads every night. Taking the wife's pedometer tonight. I am curious how far I make it. If you figure I walked every hallway on two separate floors 8 times each last night it is many many miles. Most of the hallways got extra paths when you figure 2 trips each for dust mopping, 4or 5 each for scrubbing and buffing. not to mention the trips to replace E.R. Curtains and to grab supplies and such.

I think you will be amazed at how much distance you do cover in a night, I have a similar issue with my job some days you walk a large marathon

Least you will get fit as a sideline at no extra cost as for Agents of Shield don't expect to much it's a bit mahh !

Eureka do you mean a Town called Eureka ?

Now what are you planing to do with those bristle doughnut holes

Maybe they market it differently in the UK

I hope the weightless comes with the job, but the guy I work with is about my size and he's been there four years.at some point your body plateaus and get used to the physicall exertion, and weight loss stops.

When we went to New York a few weeks ago and walked over 10 miles a day was less exertion than here at the hospital. I wasn't pushing machinery or carrying stuff either, but I have a feeling that I was doing more distance at the hospital than on vacation. Last night was a wasted effort. There was a construction crew there removing the MRI machine on the first floor, which cut out half of my territory because you couldn't get into that area, or the area on the level below it. The machine weighs so much they area fearful every time they move it that it might come crashing thought the subfloor , plus it still has a magnetic field that it affects, so everyone had to clear out. The machine has been having problems since it was put in less than a year ago, so the manufacture was replacing it at their cost.

Speaking of broken stuff

My electric razor died the other day. The battery has been getting worse over the years, but with it plugged in for over a day and no charge, it decided to sacrifice itself to my terrain competition

Oh and I picked up a couple more of the Dsteingass miracle shelves.

I really need to organize my area now.

I can see lots of useful bits coming out of that shaver and the outside would make some nice Tau (and maybe Eldar) shaped things.

Yeah, MRI machines have some tasty magnets inside them (that can even be expressed in whole numbers of Teslas).

I'm not keeping the plastic shell as parts of it broke while I was gently taking it apart . But yes, there are some nice bits inside.


Also pointed out to my coworker the stickers on the ceiling last night. On every other drop ceiling cross arm there was a sticker saying "security permission needed to access:high magnetic field present" or something to that extent.

You could use them as broken Tau or Eldar things...

O well maybe no weight loss but a shaver for terrain thats a new one

Yes it is named differently over here :

Every KHORNE player should have a shaver on their table to give their opponents a little off the top when playing.

I think I have a new plan for my terrain entry, but it'll have to wait, just got home and I'm beat.

Recovery day . Church this morning after working last night. I actually took the pedometer to work last to see how much walking was happening. They put me on trash duty, so I was walking a lot less with frequent stops, and lots of lifting of full bags of soiled linens and half trash bags of waste stuff. I logged over 13 miles in my 8 hours of working, and came home not even half as tired as when I'm scrubbing, buffing, and use mopping. I laughed at my mother in law, who works at the same hospital (she's an ICU nurse), when she said she walked 20+ miles a night. If I calculated the other job as even twice the walking then I walk a marathon each night . The pedometer also showed I burned approximately 1300 calories during my shift from walking. I will be headed back to church shortly for bible study, but just wanted to take a quick picture. My brother in law was over and while I was rummaging for some empty bases for him I found.....


I have building orientation tomorrow morning for a couple hours, then I have work tomorrow night. Tuesday our new mattress gets delivered. It's one of those memory foam mattresses , we couldn't afford the adjustable base right now, but I almost fell asleep at the store yesterday when I tested I out

They look awesome dude.

Green arrows bow broke, and I can't find aqua mans right arm which had the trident, I'll keep digging.

It a bird... Its a plane.... OH SNAAAAAP IT SUUUUPER ZOMBIE!!!

The league of undead...wasn't there even a comic once based on these? I know there was at least undead avengers once...

And boy I pity you Theo...so much walking...can't be that healthy for a grown man...

As for that memory foam mattresses...we have one for our bed...but I. Still not fully convinced that this was a good decision..
We both wake spent and twisted up on too many days to say such mattresses grant a good nights sleep...can't put my finger down on exactly what is the cause...mattress is now around three years old but in good overall function...

Been looking at the tuts on wiring, seems I ma on the right track, just need hot glue gun, but I had to get a bigger screwdriver as that itty bitty one that came with the Leviathan was more for eyeglasses repairs.

nice zombies.

@dr. H,thanks, I was going to make more, but I'm not a huge D.C. Comics fan, so I was stuck.
@shaso, the screwdriver is so small I can't even find mine now and I had some eyeglass repair to do a couple weeks ago.
@vik, I feel like the walking dead by the end of the shift. I know my tolerances will grow to take care of it. I think it was the Avengers comic that inspired the undead league, I just went D.C. As the marvel characters have too much silly ness with their costumes. My wife went nuts with the mattress, I am concerned on it as well, but they felt great in the store.
@galorn, I thought about making another version of a zombie trapped in a phone booth
@cam, thanks. I o lots of silliness that winds up being leagues of things. The league of extraordinary servo skull Janitors(I'm now a card carrying member, so be be turned into a servo skull), the league of undead superheroes, the league of extraordinary riveters, and the league of we don't talk about the league .

I got o get the kids up and out to school this morning, then get to my building orientation (I'll be an hour late, but they said to come anyway), then I have a few hours off until I go into work tonight. With orientation this week I'll either get overtime , or they'll have to let me off early this week, not sure which I'd prefer.

Thinking about swinging out to miniature market today to pick up a mini leviathan (jumbo shrimp , gotta love oxymorons) or maybe some mantic stuff as my brother in law wants to play kings of war.

how tall is that mini leviathan? i was recently looking for that and it costs a heavy 40$ too... and i doubt it is half as tall standing as the big brother...

yu are a tall guy so hopefully you picked your mattress right... it is no easy feat to have a good nights sleep of your a certain hight... peeps often forget about taller peeps issues... we get way often backhurts or ruined knees... strained necks is something i have recently way too often...also...cushion check should be your next job then

Remember all the fun I had with my orientation........me neither, they rescheduled I days building orientation to tomorrow morning. Half of us didn't get the new date sent to us who do I work for?

@vik, here's a pick that Valhallan42nd posted on the dreamforge news and rumors pag at the beginning of the month showing the mini leviathan, the regular leviathan and some other stuff for scale. Glad I'm not the big leviathan, someone seems to be gunning or him


WGF has the mini listed at 4.5" tall, o oughly half sized. Not sure of the dreadknight a height.

Talking to my brother in law yesterday made me reconsider building a grey knights army. Use the min leviathans as dreadknights, use draigo and terminators, ain't them all hot pink and have the "Gay Knights", always looking for a immoral incursions and dealing ith rear actions
political correctness , and I am he one ho complained about the people cussing and acting childlike a the game store
