Oh bugger now I remember why I hate paypal. Forgot that I had it pre set to ship to Waco while I'm living in Plano! Thank goodness I noticed quickly and sent Neal an email and its all sorted out. I hope my purchase comes soon, itching to put something together in weeks

My buddy quit 40K and gave me about 8,000pts of built but not painted Tyranids!

You... uh... want to split it?

Best buddy?

Pal?

I got my two guys from the Cutlass range that I was waiting on. the Undead Captain, and this guy named Diamond Jim. (reallygood looking figs. Remind me of the first edition Necromunda days without the frills and B.S.)

Second thing was that I found an army of Trollkin I had from back when they first came out. basic boxed set, a squad of champions and a box of boomhowlers.

Third thing was to get rid of about a quarter inch of dust and drop somepledge on an area that hasn't seen it in four years. ( think that might help in my allergy department?) ended up coughing up a ball of that new resin/ plastic mix.

It goes along with the bad news but I'm getting more familiar with feebay and the cheap goods it offers. Won an offer on a librarian and have started painting it. Odd model. I named him Mr. Glompy.

I just had a flick through WD and it looked okay, I was actually tempted to buy it!

Finecast minis looked good too, also tempting.

Silver lining and all that.

..........I'll get my coat..............

I've decided to dive into Infinity and am picking up my rulebook and starter packs this weekend. It looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to start building all the terrain that the game requires.

There are such a lot of excellent non GW related issues of minis and games it makes my head spin

Gaming surely has never been so good?

I painted up my first 15pts of Cryx. No small feat, for me.

finally finished painting up my kitbashed fantasy daemon prince, and have just about finished a test model for the new paint job on my chaos marines ( the purged, with no metallic paints used)

i mostly got bad nexs... i bought 80 boys on ebay or so i thought but they say they are now out of stock, so cancelled my order ... and i paid imediatly and have yet to get my refund yet and that was last friday :(

but i did get 20 boz from another vendor that are supposed to be here tuesday

With all of the talk about other systems, and pulling out some of my archives, I finished the villian box for Pulp City.

Last guy I have is Hellsmith, who I think needs some undead sparta guys. Looking for that company that had the multi part Spartans and Athenians, does anyone know the name of that company?

Added in a couple of Hero click guys for contacts and assets, and have them piled up for the final varnish spraying before I box them up.

Working on the last batch of the Orks and Dark Angel Squad before the move.

Took a step back from GW hate to try to be a little more objective and am trying to gather up the stuff and get it all into a couple of boxes.



Found out that I have more stuff to sell then I previously thought.

Mantic games are releasing a new sci fi game written by Allessio Cavatore i belive its caled Warpath!
Oh I am quite excited!
Mantic quality minatures at affordable prices,+ great rules written by Alessio,+ sci fi setting ....good times!

Found out a few mates still have their armies, so this weekend we are gonna have a 4way battle in my shed,
And I found an honour squad I never knew I even had
And Gotrek, Felix and 2 others from that limited edition series from a while ago
And a shaggoth
And about 700pts of space marines

Gonna be a usy month re painting all that

I started painting my Ork Boyz, got a deff rolla for my battle wagon and sent of some bits for my first Looted tank project

That and I introduced a mate of mine to 40K so I'll soon have new imps to stomp on

My english civil war army is almost finished apart from 8 horsemen and 1 more cannon (no money to buy said cannon though)

I've started my swiss napoleonics with enjoyment and enthusiasm of doing more

I'm happy that eventually when I have cash I can use Victrix british infantry as American 1812 infantry and content enough to also cheat and use bits as dutch and belgians despit not being 100% accurate.

I'm happy at the progress of the start to my Roman army, though still can't decide on shield colour.

and my last game on sunday with ECW though a loss was greatly enjoyable

Any pics/blog linky Stella?

I have my Elysians again!

I turned an unused sentinel that was sitting around my house into a killa kan.

not at the moment, I keep meaning to take pics but I'm faaaaaaaar too lazy and have allot of my mind to worry about (like the council wanting £182 and me only having £200 in the bank and not having food)

Got another AoBR box, 2 boxes of lootas, and a boyz box saturday, just glued em all together last night alogn with the 20 boys from last week i'll have lots to paint this sunday: 40 boys 5 nobz 1 warboss which I converted into a big mek with SAG , 3 deffcoptas and thier buggie sleds (i make little sleds with wheels that they sit on to work as either) then I'll be making the boyz box into 8 burners and the 8 lootas in the boxes plus the 2 more meks ... which like the others will jsut chill in the case

Just don't forget about their 4+ save.

Some more good news... hmm...

Well next week end we're starting up BattleTech again after what must be a two year hiatus. And we're also starting a mini Blood Bowl league for the first time.

That reminds me, I've got to find my Orcs and Gobbos that I've had sitting in a box for years now. I need something beyond a the plastic team.

Gaming is literally saving my life...

Fallout from Legal issues, career-change blues, and overall malaise would have me in a very bad way if it were not for the almost meditative effect of assembling and painting my new TK army.

I hate to say it, but it's a damn good thing GW was there...

played my first BFG game and I LOVE IT ALREADY!

My package from warstore has arrived, already started my first blog on my Polis Kings!
