Subject: September Vows for Painting and Modeling 2012
Time for September promises that will be potentially broken!
I sort of made my goal for August in that I got my Deathmarine built but I just didn't get him painted. That is going to be one of my vows for this month:
My Vows:
-Paint my Deathwatch Marine
-Build a squad of Space Marine Bikers (possibly get them primed); EDIT: Still toying around with the contents of the Bike Squad
-Resist purchasing unnecessary models/kits (that'll get broken quick)
What about you folks?
(Just an FYI: this is all just for fun... no one will put a gun to your temple if you don't finish... unless you want someone to... I am not responsible for dead people with unfinished models)

Being this is my First month really getting back into the hobby after deployment and family medical issues my list will be short but ambitious.
1. Paint AoBR Warboss.
2. Build and paint custom base/diaroma for Warboss.
3. Paint human Blood Bowl Team.
1 and 2 are for a gift. I have a wonderful NCO about to retire and he has admired the models in my office so I want to give him as special going away gift.
3 is a personal goal so the next time my nephew comes over we have at least one painted Blood Bowl Team between the two of us.

This month I will get magnets put into each Space Wolf. That's a lot of greenstuff and magnets, lol.
Wish someone would have told me how much work goes into magnetizing figures...I would have probably still done it, just not been blindsided by it, lol.

Subject: Re:September Vows for Painting and Modeling 2012
I still have yet to try my hand at magnetizing. I might give it a whirl with a Baneblade I'm going to work on. But I think I'll need to get some tools first.
