Heh, here is a lil update since well, I rarely update this thing, well, definitely no where as much as I used to.
So I guess it would be best to break everything down into their own dedicated sections.
40K
Well, I picked up the now OOP Eldar Battleforce and Vol 4 HH artbook from my LGS. I'll definitely need to pick up the new Eldar BF at some stage, but that can wait as I definitely ain't starting up my eldar anytime soon (but I always say that about alot of things, and it's not like I have actually finished anything, let alone to a 400 pt sizing). Cleaned up a single Guardian the other night, for future paint testing later (not to mention I finally got the Interactive Eldar painter on my H/D). Craftworld thoughts? I'm still thinking about Ulthwe (and I don't have a main black army yet) which wouldn't be too bad as I've always wanted Ulthwe since they had their Strike Force rules from the EoT codex (even if they are void now). Other than that, I'll probably play around with the painter, look at the craftworlds now from both the GW site and eldar codex to see if anything strikes my fancy (Altansar is getting pretty close though).
I randomly did some painting tonight and realised, damn, I need to re-teach myself how to paint. So I did some random bits on my SoB (mainly the bases) and did some stuff to the bases for my AotL Terminators and thought, dang, I REALLY need to get some stuff done. So tomorrow I hope to get more stuff done on the SoB bases since there isn't alot left to do and then try to get these Sisters ready to dunk on their bases so that will be one less hassle. Then we'll see how things go, assuming I can still paint...
Warmachine
Got some Bane Knights (Cryx) and eFeora (Menoth) off ebay for a sweet price and to top it all off, the LGS that I get it from has a copy of No Quarter #9 in stock so I got that for only $7 more (which is almost half price). So I am quite happy with that for sure. tonight I COULD have splattered some metal onto the useless gaunts I am using for my Cryx testing, but I plum well forgot. So I'll do that tomorrow. From there it should be fairly straight forward, as I'll just need to do washes with inks galore and see if I can get some nice chrome colors. Then from there it will be off to actually PAINTING a model (probably start with a bonejack) and maybe TRY to paint Denny (it is not as easy as it looks). If i can give her "robe" a nice chrome glimmer I'll be happy although I'm still debating how todo the rest of her... Maybe I'll just do a weird S&M theme with my Cryx. Menoth stuff can wait for ages since I want a more infantry based army. Everblight and Circle are on hold as well, although I think I did clean up Lylyth ages ago, so who knows (but I do want to do some conversion work on her). Also wanna get some of the water effects stuff off ebay later this week as well since I want that for my Cryx.
So that aside that is where i stand on both game systems (not very far at all). The Blog is hitting its 2 year Birthday soon and boy, this year has been really quiet, so i IDEALLY should use this 2nd Birthday gig as a means to really bump things back up again (especially since Day Light Savings came into effect, it is dead quiet at night now). So we'll see how things go tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the Sisters off their slit/slut/slot thing and get them ready to be dunked onto their base.

hmm yes painting..I need to do that too.
Getting a warmachine army battle ready shouldn't be too much trouble ..should it?
I thought you didn't do the whole 'day light savings' thing..:S
Yeah.. I'm doing a tad bit more painting here and there and slowly remembering what steps I was at when I LAST painted =x
A Warmachine Battlegroup isn't too difficult to get started. If you were to be REALLY simple, all you would need to get painted up is stuff from the Battlegroup box and you can start gaming with that already. Which isn't too bad, cos if it was my Cryx, then it would just be my Warcaster (Denny), one Helljack (Slayer) and 3 Bonejacks (2x Deathrippers + 1x Defiler). Although i could swap out the Defiler with a Nightwretch. But that be about it and the models arent that bad either.
Hrmm, we used to NOT do DST, but as of December 3rd, WA started a 3 yr trial on DST (WA i'm quite sure hasn't done DST in at least 10 years). So yeah, when clocks start moving those two times a year, I'll be moving with them. Sucks IMHO, my mind still thinks we are an hour behind =x
