I much prefer the straight arms. If a Marine is shooting it would not be from the hip with a pistol.

Sorry dsteingass.... didn't make myself clear... it *is* the running guy's head that I'm proposing to move, not the other.

Well for me its imprving painting. I've got to do this on my blog too! LOL i've only just noticed that you've changed your avatar pic again. I was staring to wander who that guys was!

Doesn't count. My 8-year old can basecoat and wash.

And your wolves are damn good... so I know what you're capable of when you put your mind to it.

Damn there's some productive dudes out there

I've built a few guys, almost finished building a fair few guys and vehicles. And I think I picked a brush up at some point

Digging the new models!

As for what I accomplished in 2011:
- finished building my grots, which includes 20+ grots, 10 lootas, some burangrots, buggies, and a stompa!
- helped a friend with his Eldar army
- Painted some random IG stuff

Pretty short compared to other folks, but hey, it is what it is; In spend too much time rummaging through bitz boxes and lurking on dakka - not to mention we moved house which put things on hold for several months!

No CK, each of your burna grots counts as 5 regular models... at least.
