Thanks man, thats very much appreciated, nice to know that when i start spouting complete tripe you will still read it The new guys look excellent, you should feel chuffed!

Hmmm, why does it not surprise me that WM360 has transformers....hahaha Great looking dread though mate, the hair under the left arm is a bit out of place, but otherwise it brings a nice (shiny) good looking new toy for your GKs...Man i like that BT's shield, i am all over that!

Bright red possessed at Christmas....i see a white bobble being added to that tentacle

The dread is getting stripped; WM's a way better painter (and less hairy) than that! Not sure how best to strip resin mind you. Possessed, well, they call him Sandy Claws, right?

Having now looked at his gallery, so he is! Sorry WM I also want t know how you can comment on the hairyness....

Sandy Claws! I think that may have to be painted on his base...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/322635.page Think, think it will work on resin....

they do look fun but i feel i need some inspiration in the form of eisenhorn and ravenor to make my leap to gk offical and all that jazz.

I wouldnt read Eisenhorn if you want to see the good side of the Ordo Malleus alabama....

What do you suggest then Reiko?

The first and second Grey Knights books....not the 3rd one as that goes off into a whole world of BS, but the first and second are good (i liked them)...

Very nice GKs and the libby is lovable!

^Glad you likey.

So who is the mystery Secret Satan who sent me a package from Arlington, MA

Wait, wait figured it out! Huge pile of luverly DA bits, hurrah hurray.

Not much to report, Xmas madness is upon us. Going to try to crank out a land raider over the next couple:


Meanwhile, mrs graven has been terrain building:

No offense intended my friend... but I think Mrs. Graven's got the lion's share of artistic talent!

Your kids are really going to have some right-brain action going on, given both their parents' artistic abilities!!

Looking good man. THat cake is awesome too who ever is getting it is going be very happy with it.
Any way Happy holidays man.

Edible terrain...bloody fantastic...adds a whole extra layer of fun to planetstrike games

Like the way there's not much happening...just a Land Raider planned for a couple of days

O yeah, not planned much over the Christmas weekend, while the rest of us are out shopping graven knocks out a Landraider.....its just not fair...

It's ok, she's fiendishly talented. It's irritating but there we are.

The wee girl was thrilled, they're old friends and were blown away - and the boss was a bit overwhelmed by all the attention!
Merry festmas to you and yours too!

LR? Well if I'm doing one, you know, might as well do 2...

More dakka indeed.

Sweeeeet!

O you.... They look great mate, well done!

'Edible Terrain' should be your missus' hook to lure in unwary wargamers and then mesmerise them with her beautiful creations....

You should hand Mrs. Graven a paint brush and tell her to have at it.

Yup. There's a DW vindi on the way too! The whites got done on them today.

Ta. Women already possessed of hypnoboobs, siren cake would just be over kill.

No! MY toys! Won't share! Shan't!
I have actually suggested it to her; she's just content to make comments. She's the one, for instance, who first spied that turquoise when I was doing a test with the honoured imperium statue.

A good geek haul thus far. Tons from secret santa, some welsh levy from friends, and a furioso and a chappy from the wife - score! Merry Xmas y'all,
Graven

Ooh...who's been opening their pressies early?

Merry christmas and all that seasonal jazz.....

Wifey and I open on Xmas eve night, so we get 2 mins together!
Kids had a blast, house is like a toyshop
Today, post kill-a-Texan-with-turkey day (I gave him the meat sweats!), I am tidying bits boxes:

I am finding all kinds of weirdness. It's awesome. If anyone needs anything, do ask. You never know, and tis the season!

Maybe you shouldn't photograph your work as you're driving by... try standing still when you shoot, it'll work better.

I think that would make it too easy for us to work out the parts

That picture reminds me of me last weekend

I like to keep you guessing

Hey gang, a wee note to say I'm unlikely to update the blog in the next week or so - installing new pc + parental invasion. Cya in 2013!

You've been very busy since I last stopped by. Lovely conversions and great looking Cake.

Heres hoping your new PC lasts longer than mine (a couple of the parts have broken already and its only 6 months old....luckily replacements have been forthcoming from where i bought it from)

Happy New Year for tonight!

You too amigo!

Well a fairly productive year has seen the Knights Carnelian nearly finished! Remarkable. I foresee next year being a year of counts-as - weeping angels, deathwatch and maybe some =][= too.

With that in mind, something totally different to end on: Weeper fluff.

Weeping Angels

The origins of these eerie, stone clad astartes are unclear. There is considerable disagreement amongst scholars as to their exact provenance, though it is clear they belong to a successor chapter of the Blood Angels. The majority of records would indicate that they are are a successor of the Lamenters, though there is compelling research that indicates they are entirely comprised of Lamenters rather than from its gene stock. There are those within the Administratum also that maintains they are Lamenters but from the Battle Cruiser LACRIMOSA, which never participated in the Badab conflict as it was lost in a warp storm following the destruction of an Exquisition Hell Barge. Still others point to the Lamenter custom of a white-garbed death company, further noting that it is almost unheard of for any other than their Death Company to take the field.
Whatever the truth in the mysteries, there is agreement:
They are possessed of a beauty more radiant, more savage, than even Sanguinus's first born;
They arrive, and strike, with a speed that almost defies belief;
They cry tears in battle. for the fallen some say, though none know truly for whom;
And all shouls heed their chapter motto: Ne Nicte - Don't blink.

Have a have and hobby filled 2013 y'all,
Graven

Happy New Year graven! Hope you and your family have a wonderful one!

Best to you all in the new year. Stay safe.
