@shaso, the goggles just happened that color cause the new GW oxide paint was in front of me. It's very glowy

Looks good though.

Well neat trick with the goggles Theo and nice foam grab!

theo...just sticking my head in again after so much time...
I hope daughter drama wasn´t that crucial?
and the dilemma with the dishwasher... ouch... water accidents are quite unnerving... I am sure ruglud with his latest house remodelling issues can assure... around two years ago our own kitchen sink went belly up...on Christ-mess (pun intended) ...so I know how this feels when you have more water around you than you want...^^

I was doing some color researches the other day...and since you still think of some GK chapter... here is an inspiration of some sort...:



I think this would make a cool new red marine army^^

as for the tests on those stormtroopers...both are a bit too shiny for my taste...

Heard my name being called... Yeah, water anywhere but in a sink, toilet, glass, etc is bad... Our dishwasher packed up earlier this year and we've only just replaced it as there are some great Christmas offers at the moment...

As to your snowfall - my kids and I are very jealous, would love a white christmas, but we're due a grey / rainy day in South East England by all accounts - snowfall here usually occures mid Jan to mid Feb

Vik that is quite the awesome find!

Hey guys, thanks for the visit. I've been lurking for a while, just not very motivated. Just to back from the clinic, my oldest has influenza a, we honk the boy may have it too, but can't get into the doctor until tomorrow with the twins. So much for hem singing at the Christmas cantata tonight

@vik, like the dead pool idea even though I wasn't a huge fan of his. I know one one previewed some ski masked heads, but couldn't find hem when I went looking just now. Maybe just a traitor Marine army of soldiers that have broken their oaths to the emperor and have decided to just loot the imperium of wealth and live high on the hog.
@ruglud, the weather changed this week and we hit 70 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday nowall our beautiful snow is gone . Then it cooled off 30-40 degrees last night and we had flurries again .

Very sorry to hear that about the kids theo :( I remember being sick at the holidays was always awful.

well...being sick in this certain age is never a picknick...regardless of the season... we parents always get worried and frightened when our beloved we are used to see running and yelling around get all quiet... a sad moment then indeed...
for that matter... we went to a local Christmas fair...not that much fun there we had... in the end my kids played a bit on an old "dry" fountain...well...it ended with my son felix (age 7) who slipped the last hop...and got himself a nasty cut on his chin...it actually needed glueing with superglue (medical stuff) in the hospital...something truly new for all of us... but he actually took it like an honourable champ... after the initial well deserved crying he then let him get treated by the doc or the other helpers without so much as a flinch... very brave... so long story short... I hope your kids will get better soon...especially since being in these days not able to go to church must be something really cruel for your family...
by the way... I think we all will go to church on Christmas too...there will be a play and music and suchlike... we four of us need to find us a bit of a family Christmas tradition...

as for the socks heads...I think they were from mad robots?

@nafarious, I'm just glad they will be on the mend. Last night at work I got to witness a stillborn baby being taken into the morgue , never a good thing, but especially at this time of year. Had me all screwed up last night and all morning.
@vik, thanks, couldn't find the masks on the website, but found it in the kickstarter thread. Might have to source some of those. The local church that did the all German service has stopped the tradition, I guess the priest changed churches or something .

In the mean time I thought I might try and clean off my desk to see if I get some motivation. I need more of Dave's Walmart paint shelves, that tote on the side I full of other paints.

Oh and the heads I was thinking about.

I'm thinking the first one, although the last would make a fine beachhead .....yo joe , 40k g.i. Joes (guard issued) except in marine armor.

That's a lovely writing desk you have there mate. Let's hope your get up and has got up and come back to you

@graven, thanks, the desk was left behind a our old house in the basement. It is SOLID oak, and weighs so much that I think it's why it was left there. Also I think it was downstairs before they finished basement, because there was no extra space to bring it up, I even took the handrail off the stairs to get it out.

Well I was snoring soooooo bad last night and he wife has been sleeping lousy with her cold so I hit the couch. With two sick kids in their rooms it wasn't very restful either. At 4am my hird child woke up with the same hard cough, fever and headache , good thing she and her twin brother have doctor appointments this morning.

On a silly note the busted dishwasher was in our backyard by the fence waiting for the trash collector today, but someone jumped our fence and took it , I don't know to be sorry for the person now, are when he gives it to his wife for Christmas and it doesn't work .

Sent a message to mad robot bout the heads, still not on the website, so I have a little reprieve.

Ah, I wonder if he just wanted it for spare parts?

I'm a little upset by it as I was going to loot some bits off of it before putting out to the curb, but at least it's gone.

Dude, do it!

Great idea

Without initially realising it was Deadpool, that marking on his knee took on a whole different meaning for a moment when I first saw it...

Hope the little ones improve enough to enjoy Christmas.

While I was in Birmingham, it was a common occurrence for people to leave things like fridges, etc. out on the street and wait for someone to make it disappear for you, when it would otherwise cost money to have it taken away. But usually the other people would wait for you to at least put it out on the street...

Those Mad Robot heads (and apparently other stuff as well) need to be on my table as soon as I can get them.

@Dr H, you dirty
@skalk, I messages Steve and they are on the to be made and put on website que with some other items. But they will be mine too.

He also hinted (actually told me outright) what's coming in the next roll call , but I can't tell you all. What I can say though is my idea I asked him a few months ago about isn't happening anytime soon . I asked or a not a-team set of heads. Said its on the back burner or now, but I'm excited to see his next roll call. Might even get me to build the squishy guard models .

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good

I hope everyone is felling better at your house for Christmas THeo!

I see what you did there , no herrings involved.

But there was a shrubbery, yes?

Hope all are feeling better for tomorrow.

@monkeytroll, exactly

While the family napped I glued , when in doubt necromunda it out


Partial work on a cd tower. Lots to go on it. I just need to do something to get motivated again.

Merry Christmas, I hope you are all, all better for the big day.

merry christams theo... i wish you and your family to get back to health asap! thats an order

the tower looks nice...it reminds me tho of those water diver towers at the local swimming stadium...^^

oh and Dr. H... i think for such a naughty one like you santa left a whip...(which, on second thought, i think would please you )

cheers, vik

I like where the tower is going, Theo.

Vik: Ha Ha. I can't help it if I have a dirty mind. Anyway, you all knew what I meant without me having to say it, so...

Theo is headed for new heights I see.

Merry Christmas and good health to you and your family theo also nice tower needs a sniper up there.

@LDD, he got pushed off right before the marine lost his head to the dreamforge trooper. You should always wear a helmet
@shaso, I just started building and didn't even cross my mind this was taller than the rest of my table by sooooo much.
@Dr. H, you mean up right , I'm just glad to be doing something, I've been stuck in the dull drums lately.
@vic, I wouldn't recommend swimming in the underhive, real water is hard to find, sump water has friends to make Jaws look like goldfish.
@cam, thanks, were on the mend, but I'm starting to feel the onset. 40k milligrams of victim an C here I come

The kids got to open 2 presents each last night, of course they picked the biggest and littlest packages . That meant pogo sticks for the twins and watches for all three of them. My oldest opened a medium sized box after complaining she didn't have a pogo stick sized box , and got a Spirograph set which she loves and played with for three hours not even stopping or dinner .

The all have new bikes in the garage which the twins found earlier this week, but the oldest doesn't know about. And my son will be catching you to my Lego collection more today, he still has 4-5 big sets to open. Should be fun to watch all the rest as well.

Only bummer so far I the blue ray disc player I got for the family room doesn't work Walmart cheap stuff on blackfriday.

merry christmas theo glad the kiddos got good loot.

many blessings to you and yours. have a wonderful day.

when i was a kid i loved getting a new bike at xmas that was always the best that and ninja turtles...dont judge me

Oooh Yeah I LOVED getting Ninja Turtles when I was a kid too! and G.I Joes or C.O.R.P.S figures :-) and yes the black Mongoose BMX was the BESTEST!


.... So wish I was akid again!
