So are you getting more time back into the hobby now? RL seems to have calmed down for you from not long ago.

RL is always hectic, so I've realized life isn't slowing down , I need to make time to enjoy my hobby.

I would love to be able to paint and model for hours on end alas that is impossible.

The answer to your question is a resounding "maybe"!

The one thing I know for sure is this blog and your guys comments have always inspired me . So I have been trying to update this blog more often.

Hopefully yes , you will be seeing more of me.

Lots of progress today. I have some draws and bins to go through . Also I need to sort the paints by color.

Other than that I am loving it.

What do you guys think?

You need some wall art. Maybe a Space Marine poster, or something along those lines. Walls are kinda bare in my opinion. But looks good, wish I had a space like that.

I like the minimalist look. Is the cupboard at the end of the desk blocked off though?

It's a huge closet that can be accessed on either side. To be honest it is really a junk storage closet.

Hanging a 20 inch tv there

Two imperial knights
One baneblade
Two huge pieces of terrain
Deadzone
Deadzone terrain
ROB battle board
Two squads of cadians
Three leman russ 90% done
Space hulk

Oh I'm drowning in plastic crack . Yet I'm always craving more.

I need to go to a swap meet or something to unload some of the stuff I'll never use.

Wow. 3 days ago, I started reading this thread. I ordered a SWM Tablescape on Kickstarter last year, and have been doing research on other people's city boards to get inspiration and ideas. Holy. Hell. You're a veritable font of creativity! I've got my first kit of terrain inbound (one of the Pegasus Hobbies gothic kits) and am planning to start building once I move into my new house this weekend (I'm actually in Baltimore too weirdly enough). I'll keep my eyes here as I'm excited to see the rest of those kits come together.

I thought you got rid of your RoB?

Glad I could help. Make yourself at home and feel free to pick my brain if you need any help. I look forward to seeing your work.

Yeah Baltimore!

Nope I have had two people flake out on me . I really want the new GW board and I'm tempted to beg my local GW for store credit
.It's still available for $250 if you wanna drive down and grab it buddy.

When did you become a MOD? Congratulations

I got the SW battleboard (when it eventually shows up). You should check that out, its super modular, and there is an urban one that is, imo, way better looking then the gw board. And cheaper, you can get an 8' table for less then GWs 6'.

A few weeks ago.

lovely set up mate , really like your paint pot holders too, can i ask where they are from ?

Not at all they do amazing work. The company is called Back 2 Baseix

Pricey but worth every penny. I know a lot of highly skilled competition painters that use plastic nail polish racks that you use at salons. Look on eBay and I'm sure you will find some goodies.

Thanks as always

That's brilliant, might have to look into that myself

So bored at work i could cry...
Can't stop thinking about my knights and how close I am to paint. Just need a way to freeze time and get these puppies done.

That is a fantastic space to paint Dood! The racks are pretty sweet!

Thanks buddy I am fond of it myself.
Now if I could just find time to sit behind it, life would be grand .

I am thinking about trying to do a no receipt exchange at my local GW store for my old never open ROB board for the City scape one.
My thought is exchange for Store Credit and pay the difference while also bribing the clerk with a $50 kick back for his trouble.

Do you think this will work?

I'm not sure a gw store would do it. An indy store might do a trade

My local FLGS told me to try returning it to GW. I did realize that the price tag has been removed.

The FLGS does have a swap meet at the end of the month so there is always that .

I need some help. I'm doing some spring cleaning and I am looking to sell some off my dust collectors.

What should I be asking for the following.

Unused : GW realm of battle board
Unopened: GW Baneblade kit , old style that can be made into the transport version.
Used once: GW Space hulk. All models assembled. One genestealer painted and dead terminator painted
Used once: Mantic Games Dwarf Kings ,one Dwarf painted, one skeleton painted. All dwarfs assembled and primed , skeletons still on sprue.

The RoB you should be able to get decent money, the killer is the shipping. If you can find someone local, win! I'd expect to sell it for $200ish total.
So is it the BB/SL dual kit, or just the old stormlord?
SH should go fast at $150, or slow at $200.
I'm no help on Mantic things.

It's the dual purpose kit with the stormlord.

Thanks for the input. Can I trust posting on the swap shop board?

I'd say more then randoms on craigslist, but less then folks from your flgs. It's got the occasional con, but it's usually the seller. Just make sure you get tracking, take photos, etc to cya.

Honestly I would just love to sell the whole lot for $400.

I think I will try my FLGS bizzare then if all else fails eBay or swap shop.

Thanks as always buddy

Should be a reasonable goal. If you decide you want to trade the rob, lmk. I've got quite a few nos IG tanks.

I really want a murauder destroyer and the new gw ROB board.

Yeah, I've got neither of those.

Did a supply run today and I picked up some fun foam and cork board . I have been drawing up ideas on and off all day for my three titan bases.

I've been watching a ton a YouTube videos on custom bases and I am pretty stoked to work on these.

My buddies at Ironheart Artisans are doing custom bases for my foot troops leaving me the three knight titans.

Anyone have experience making custom bases your input is appreciated.

Anyone interested to see some of my ideas also chime in otherwise I will probably just move through without a lot of WIP shots.

As always you comments and feedback are appreciated and encouraged.

Stay tuned
