Dave at work again.

**dsteingass**

Yeah, I kept busy this past week(end) with other stuff unfortunately. I read the prequel novel to Bioshock, so naturally, I had to play BioShock 1 and 2 (and the DLC for Infinite). Man, that is a truly fascinating story! It would make for some interesting Art Deco terrain if a game and miniatures existed. The next weekend will probably be full of yardwork and other stuff too, maybe I'll get some hobby time, I dunno. I started reading the Macharian Crusade books, hopefully that will inspire me a bit.

**Theophony**

Dave, enjoy your off time. I keep looking or inspiration as well. Tried to tidy up the workspace and hoped that would do it....nope. I haven't been able to even get excited about black library books, but I've just put down Vulkan Lives and the Mark of Calth because I couldn't get into them.

Hawk wargames drop zone commander is releasing a new faction that is very Art Deco. Including a mono rail train that fits the bill also, too bad they are such small scale.

**dsteingass**

I read the orus Heresy books up through Mechanicum, but the Space Marine books were better at first, when they seemed more human. I really do prefer the Guard Novels, Dan Abnett is even much better when he's writing about footsloggers or Titans vs. Marines IMHO. William King (of Gotrek & Felix fame) wrote these Macharian books, so it's got a lot of humanity to it so far.

As for Art Deco..there's just something about the Underwater City of Rapture that really sparks my imagination. The designs seem impossible to do in miniature...maybe that's the appeal/challenge? I dunno.

**Viktor von Domm**

well...you just know that it is possible to do with plastic when someone already has done it with lego...

I love reading anything with CIAPHAS CAIN: HERO OF THE IMPERIUM in it. I'm rereading them over again right now.

**dsteingass**

I saw that Vik..Creepy Little Sister and everything

The Cain novels are badass....Gotta love Jurgen

**shasolenzabi**

It is like a future Black Adder and Balric which were part of his inspiration for Cain and Jurgen, close to the WW-II season

**Rogue Wolves**

Well I have a lot to catch up on, but I'm really loving the stuff that you've been putting out recently!

**M0rdain**

I liked reading about the downfall of the different legions, especially Fulgrim.

**shasolenzabi**

Bump to help Dave

**Camkierhi**

We could definately do with a bit of Dave....

**dsteingass**

I'm now officially through the weekend shift rotation at work and will be going back to regular days. I hope to spend some time with the hobby.

YEEEHAAAAAW! good to hear!

**dsteingass**

Apologies, Ladygeek had to have a surgery. She is doing fantastic, recovering much quicker than expected, but then I had to make up my shifts missed @work over the weekend. I get today off to recover, but then back to the M-W shift. In the meantime, in lieu of anything here, be sure to check out the -=]_=- Comp Round 10! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/595454.page

**Dr H**

Best of wishes to Ladygeek. Get well soon.

**monkeytroll**

All the best to Ladygeek - hope it wasn't anything too serious. Heres to a speedy recovery

**Camkierhi**

Best wishes to The Lady.

**Theophony**

Best wishes to lady geek, hope everything is alright. I was wondering how you were adjusting to the work schedule.

**shasolenzabi**

Glad to hear Ladygeek is doing well, just wondering if it was appendix or what? surgery is also to be check on, as complications can happen.

**dsteingass**

Thanks Everyone! The support is much appreciated. She is doing fantastic! Bean is more loopy than Ladygeek today after getting her 1 year vaccinations

**shasolenzabi**

Oh? sounds like reaction to a vaccine, or maybe the combo did it to liitle bean? Poor pooch!

Or just wound up because it's a dog

, plus her body probably kicked in some extra energy since she was probably taken for a ride in the jeep.

Does bean get to go for rides often dave, or is she a home dog?

**Viktor von Domm**

If lady geek needed to stay at the hospital and saves work schedule being what it is, no wonder if beany is all jittery due longer stays at home all alone...dogs need someone around them...they are pack animals...

**Valhalla130**

Glad lady geek is doing okay.

**shasolenzabi**

Good for Dave that both his ladies are okay, the human one and the animal one.

**lone dirty dog**

Hope Ladygeek is doing well and Bean has settled a little at least

making up missed work errrgghhh not good

**dsteingass**

Oh Yeah..Everyone is doing great! Thanks for the concern, We really appreciate it everyone!

**lone dirty dog**

Glad to hear

**cormadepanda**

Well that is good to hear as well.
