I vote for any joke that needs an explanation... what's that... 2 now??!
Only one day left. I promise an decent update tonight. Parents have been visiting so no painting for me. I'll have the Apoth done by Friday. Tycho my Monday. Then I start work on the "Book of Secrets" so-to-speak.

Thanks 3Strike! I certainly will. Two IC's are on the current docket. Once those are done I'll have some leeway to choose what I want rather than being tournament list driven... which'll be nice for a change.

see, I don't get that- If the TARDIS appears in a Medieval village, it has some psychic effect on people so that they don't notice it...why do others see the actual blue Police box?

It doesn't make it invisible... just... unremarkable. And just like his psychic paper it doesn't seem to work on everyone. Just most folks who are preoccupied with their normal lives and are very easily swayed by the psychic suggestion.

I think it's just shifty writing, Like on FOX news

Ok, I have a 3rd one, but it is a bit, strange, that's why it's in a spoiler
Spoiler:
#3 Random Marine: "Come on, guys, you didn't leave a piece of them for me! that's it, I'm not going and you can't make me" Sarge: "I'm sure you killed 1..." RM: "NO I DIDN'T!" Sarge: "Fine, you can kill the next one, now, let's move!" Gamesmaster: "End of MW Assault Phase" Sarge: "Who the is he?"

OK Guys... I said both 2-days and Thursday PM for the end of the contest. Since we're wandering into tallywhacker (?) territory I think it's time to call it a day. I'll have a separate voting thread up once I figure out how to make a poll.
Back OT... I finished the detail on the apothecary this morning. Every time I look at this damn figure I see something else that needs to be painted... but for good or ill I'm done now. It's time to move on to the next step (which will happen this evening). Coat of satin varnish, lining with badab black & then 2-3 coats of thinned white. Note the banner for his name is still empty.

Oh dang.... just saw something else that needs to be painted (the lines leading from the blood and plasma flasks)... blast it! And it looks like a remnant of a mold line on his left heel. Lord I hate close-up photography...

where am I? *looks around* Well i'm...errr...I...I...don't know!
I know I'm a tad late but:
Sarge: "Marines, we may die, we may be maimed, we may have ouur insides wrenched from us as we watch, we may be devoured and turned to destroying our own dear Imperium *an assault marine at the back bursts into tears* But. No matter what happens, no matter what goes wrong, what happens...THEY SHALL NOT GET THIS LITTLE RED SKULL!!!"
