An "Everything" Update..

I realised the term "everything" isn't really appropriate as that would imply ive touched a mini for every army i own which is not the case...

In any case, my Sisters are turning out well, the robes are almost done, just need to do a tad bit of cleaning up here and there on the robes and do a quick blood red highlight. The robes are still as dark as i want them, but i find that gory red and whatever the other red i use are very similar in terms of color (there is a difference upon close up viewing). the terracotta worked like a charm and is even part of the shading in the inner most robing as well which helps alot too. One thing i have noticed is that some of the robes, not the studs but the buttons i guess, not too sure exactly arent as deep as id like them to be so ill probably in future reference give them a quick drilling with the pinvice to just get a bit more depth into them. However, so far, so good i am quite happy with the progress and they do look alot better than the first mini *groans*. Ill try and get a pic up at the end of the weekend as the last pic i took (which wasnt actually uploaded here) is just a tad bit out dated now, although i might have a quick look now.... Yeah, i had a quick squiz at the pics and they are just a tad bit out-dated now, so ill post a newer pic later this weekend (earliest will be sunday as im flat out this weekend with work and a wedding on saturday).

Lion Guard have slowed down a bit more than i wanted since im trying to work on their bases (which is still a good sign in its own right). So far they are looking ok with just a lil bit more work i can probably get onto sealing them with a quick thinned down coat of PVA glue (so i dont have any random bits of flock falling off) and then move onto painting them up. If im unlazy enough, i could probably get that done this weekend and have the undercoat sorted out too.

Otherwise thats pretty much it.

A NON Lion Guard Update....

Since its been AGES since ive done something here that WASNT Lion Guard related, i thought id post up the latest pics of random stuff from the paint desk.

First up is the Sisters, and so far 3 of the 5 models have had the final coat done to their armor (the two on the left still need to be done). So far im quite happy with how its turning out (looks better than the test mini for some reason too). Tonight i hope to finish off the last two girls so i can do the touch ups here and there and move onto doing the robes (plus while i do the touch ups on these models i can touch up my Lion Guard at the same time).



Next up is the Thousand Sons mini ive been semi working on (it isnt a priority so it isnt getting alot of attention). Still alot to do on it, so its no where near complete (tabbard needs to be reworked, metal areas arent finished etc).



Lastly is the lone Hormagaunt who has had a few coats of boltgun to give him a nice metallic look before i do the black wash. Looking ok, im DEBATING if i want to do another metallic coat before doing the wash, but we'll see how things go.



Tonight? As i said hope to get the Sisters done, touch up the Lion Guard Torsos and that be it. Anything else will pretty much just be bonus stuff.

Lion Guard Update, Part 8

Surprisingly enough, yes i am still painting up these guys, but i can safely say the torso sections are indeed nearing completion (which is good). Mainly minor work here and there, but im fairly happy with the results (im sure the next time i attempt terminators of any sort they will look alot better). Ill probably try to clean up the armor tomorrow (since it's only a coat or two of black). Ill also try and finish up the lil sensor lights, although they wont be too crash hot, but at least they will have some color on them. The left arms are coming out nicely as well and they should be done by the end of the week. As for the right arms, well they are just a pain and who knows when they will be done. I suddenly wish i magnetised all their arms and torsos but oh well. Overall im still fairly happy with these guys, and they do look better when viewed without a camera. Im hoping once each torso is finished and the bases set up, the pictures will look a tad bit better.

I've also been doing some random painting on the Hormagaunt (which looks fairly metallic atm) and working out how to paint pink well for my EC (suffice to say it isnt working TOO well). Im hoping to stop by an art shop tomorrow and have a squiz at a few acrylic paint ranges as i want to try and find a pink paint that i can use to highlight vallejo squid pink with.

I've also been randomly playing with Genestealers as well and have 4 bases set up thus far. I might set up one fairly 'normally' as i want to use it in some pics. And that is pretty much about it for this lil 40K entry.

Lion Guard Update, Part 7 + Bonus

Just a very quick update...

The Lion Guard look ALOT better now that the orange has been axe'd completely from their paint scheme. However, the flash on the camera muted out alot of the robe tone, so they look completely yellow. However, i am alot more happier with them now since the robes are patched up (and done) leaving just the lil details on the main bodies to do and sort out the arms. So im moving along nicely and hope to meet the Round 2 deadline (which hasnt been announced yet).

In other news, i also took a pic of my Sisters and wow, it does look like ive done work when i do batch work! But they are progressing well and ive also cleaned up a few more Eldar bits that ill use to make plastic Sisters with. Although i am debating if i want to make a tutorial out of it yet, so yeah, that is one of the lil things that are bugging me about it at this point in time.

Also have the CoD sprues from the Imperial City box being cleaned up now, so thats good to have that out of the way. And i also picked up a $12 rotary tool kit the other day from the local DIY store, so im sure that will come in handy for sure.

Anytime time to close with pics:

Lion Guard Update, Part 6

If i could do a weird 'Paint Color of the Month' type of thing, I know MY vote would be put down for Filthy Brown (aka Vomit Brown for you Citadel users). The color i swear has a HEAP of uses, from serving as a stepping stone for decent yellow robes (this will save my Lion Guard for sure), to being another color in bone color robes AND does wonders for facial skin tone. So yeah, I LOVE this color.

The Lion Guard are back on track now that the color tests have been completed and filthy brown has been applied to the robes. Definitely looking alot better and i can safely say the tone will look alot more natural than previous pics have shown them to be.

Im pending a reply back from da main DA man SG to see if i can make a submission of these guys for the competition over at the DA forum on the B&C. So no WIP pics until i know what is happening with that. But I assure you, they terminators look alot better and i know i will be happier with the end result.

Lion Guard Update, Part 5

After seeing some very BEAUTIFUL yellow robes on the B&C, the Lion Guard will regretably be postponed until i get some new paints and redo the robes as i really am NOT happy with how they look atm. This will probably mean i will miss the first round of the AoD (whether there is a second round, who knows) but yeah. Im a lil disappointed, but oh well, it cant be helped. These guys have been "rushed" enough as it is, and even though they will look ok when finished, i dont want to keep having to feel disgusted with the robes.

So progress is slowing down slightly, but ill still paint what i can (mainly looking at random bits on the arms now and what i can do on their main bodies without having to clean up stuff before the redo of the robes).

Made up a few more painting 'bases' so things should be easier to paint now without too many difficulties. If i can slowly fiddle around my desk, i might do some more work on the Sisters again, since two of them still need to have the cold grey coat redone before i can step onto the stone wall grey coat.

Otherwise, things are going ok, a bigger painting desk would be nice (or less models to paint) so i have plenty of stuff to keep me occupied yet.

Lion Guard Update, Part 4

Just a small progress pic of the painting stages. It isnt alot, all thats been done is the under/base coat and the intermediate stage for their robes before i move onto the yellow. So far they are looking ok, nothing overly wonderful since they have no details etc. Tomorrow ill start on doing the yellow stage on the robes, try and finish up the Sgt's face and maybe even get started on the eye lenses for the other guys. I guess i should also TRY and start up the metal areas as well and maybe do small patches of paint chipping since i didnt want to model in any actual suit damage.




Bare in mind the pic isnt all that fantastic as the cam has clearly focused on the middle terminator (the heavy flamer bearer) while the rest are all at differing levels of blurriness. Still ALOT of work to go and unfortunately little time...

Lion Guard Update, Part 3

The terminators are now situation on my painting desk getting their nice coats of black paint. The first coat went down quite well, and i just need to do another second go to make sure i havent got any random bits of plastic or GS poking through. So far they look pretty ok, although the black does look semi boring so i do hope the yellow of the robes helps to make them stand out with the addition of other random colors here and there over the mini to break up the black.

Otherwise i am quite happy with them and i hope i can pull off a decent paint job.

This will be the last pic for a lil bit since i dont feel like moving them back n forth, unless i do a panoramic pic of my paint desk (in addition to heck knows what else is there).

So enjoy the pic, ill post updates as they come along (that and i have til like wednesday to finish them).

Lion Guard Update, Part 2

I'd freak out too if i knew i was going to do this much work in the space of days, anyway, less babble and more stuff!!


The Lion Guard are moving along very nicely with minor work being needed prior to the painting stage (attaching a few random bits and doing some GS work here and there). Overall i am quite happy with the look of the termies, and they are definitely standing out for sure (and not basic rank and file stuff straight from the box).

Painting should commence this weekend, so keep on checking in!

Lion Guard Update

Well i managed a rather big leap of progress with the termies for the SH AoD. Tonight i actually did the GS robing which actually came out looking pretty good (as in im happy with it). However, my skills with the GS and robing still need some work, however it is all a learning experience for me, and this ill have to say was a big learning lesson.

Just a bit more GS work needs to be done (hoods and basing) and after that its minor things before the painting stage which should actually be pretty easy! Guess it pays to paint Sisters of Battle as im getting used to painting robes on armor.

Anyway the pic will be attached at the end of my rant bit, but yeah, with a week or so left to go, im quite happy with the progress i have made. With the amount of work less than what it was before, i can be fairly optimistic that ill make the deadline for the AoD and honor the Angels of the Lion with an appearance there.

Just a lil progress update...

So just a minor update to keep most of ye folk entertained (not that alot of ye read this anyawy)....


Did a lil bit of painting tonight (not a WHOLE lot as painting grey gets boring after a while) but two of my sisters are pretty down packed with the 'Cold Grey' stage now. Three more sisters to do that one for this batch and i can move to the lighter grey coat and press on with the rest of the mini. I also continued on the EC V2 color tests and played around with the next purple color - 'Warlord Purple' and wow, it's alot more pinker than i thought, even compared to GWs. Which I guess is probably a good thing since I am after the more pink look and its turning out qutie well. Ill probably do some more work on that in the next few days as well (to get a quick break from all this grey). Decided not to touch the three SW minis that i started base coating from last week, but I'm sure I'll touch them up later on during the week. I'm also thinking about changing my ideas for my SoB basing, now that it probably would be alot easier to cut the tiles out and then glue them onto the base rather than try to score into the plasticard which isnt providing me with the desired effect im after. With the release of the urban basing kits this week as well i'll grab some of them specifically for use for my SoB (til they run out) and revert back to some more conventional stuff for basing.

The terminators for the SH AoD have been cleaned up, all I need to do is loosely put them together to get a general idea of what they look like and what converting work i wanna do. Although considering the first round of the AoD starts on the 14th, time wise it doesnt look too good, so ill have to try and work as fast as i possibly can. If I dont make it, then oh well, but I still want to try and get these guys set up (plus it didnt help that i took so long deciding if i wanted to enter or not).

Also been playing some more DoW and I did get past that weird insane mission, only to have the following mission be even MORE insane. When they say they throw you into the game, they really mean it. However, it has still been fun to play, even if it is wimpy guard, so Id actually recommend getting the game for sure.

Gonna try and cut some stuff out of the Dryad box for basing material for the Termies (yeah i know its a Space Hulk thing but i DO want them to match the rest of my army at a later date). I should also try and clean up the small tables besides me cos its covered in EVERYTHING! Well, almost.. but still it isnt a clean mess.

On a final note, the Tyranid BF stuff is washed and dry and the CoD sprues will be drying overnight, so ill have more goodies to play with, Yesssssssssssssssssss!!

Update time!!

Since Arjan wanted one :P Although blogger was being silly the other day so i dont even know if my comment actually ended up posting..

Anyway, as for Tobias, he's still alive yes, not sure about how much of a life he is having, but he is quite active over at the B&C :D

As for me, well Ive gone a bit 40K crazy as of late:


1x Tyranid Battleforce (from today)
1x BIGGG CoD boxset (today on layby)
1x Terminator box (from wednesday)
1x Dryads box (wednesday)
1x CoD Box (wednesday)

So yeah i have alot of stuff to keep me occupied, Yessssssssss!! Ill pick up the Big CoD box in 2 weeks time but yeah, thats my HUGE ass haul there. The Dryads and Termies have been washed, half the 'Nid box is being washed right now, the rest will have to wait as i need something bigger to wash them in PLUS the CoD stuff. The CoD codex is good, and a BIG change since Cityfight in that it it is actually a decent supplment rather than being a 40K 4th Ed V2.0 Rulebook. Still need to sit down and read it properly but i like what ive seen thus far.

Slowly getting the Termies together for the SH AoD and painting stuff when I can (ive been a wee bit bad and also did some random SW painting instead of SoB cos i needed some decent plain 'flat' areas of stuff to paint on rather than having to nit pick cos of detail etc.

So thats pretty much it. No pics this week im afraid as ive had a bit of a neck ache since wednesday *groan* so i havent been doing much painting as i know that would make things worse (and as if work doesnt make my neck feel bad enough as it is).

Slowly making progress.

Started on the base coating step for my Sisters, and so far its going ok. As i have no found out, having a small production line isnt actually a bad thing at all. Although i havent completed the base coating on a single mini as of yet, I have started painting up 3 models thus far (painting Battle Sisters versus regular plastic marines is not as easy as it looks). As for WIP shots, we'll see how things go, maybe when they look a bit more neater ill take a pic or two.

The Faith Counter tutorial is semi on hold atm due to time limits since its at the GS phase (well i knew in advance that this be the trickiest part of the tutorial). Hopefully by the end of the week ill start up the next GS phase (which reminds me I should take pics).

Slowly rebuilding my EC again with alot more options happening this time around now that I have magnets to play with (and more confident about modelling and GS (to a degree)). I'm also recyclying some of my previous minis that didnt make it that far the painting phase to try and work out a way to paint a semi decent pink without having to run into the realm of mixing (as that WILL drive me crazy and insane). The idea of having to keep making mixes with different tones (not intentionally of course) is a bit of a con in my books.

Ive also become interesting in the B&C Space Hulk AoD, so I might dust off some of my older Terminators and see what I can do with them. It wont be too overly fancy, since alot of folks are using the new style terminators which do look gorgeous, but Im not in the mood just yet to folk out $60 (post 10% discount) on a box of termies for the SH AoD. If i can convert my older termies slightly and still have them look ok and useful for my AotL army, then all the more power to me.

Hopefully have a bit of a more meaningful post come the end of the week, and I also need to check on the Lion Guard colors for the AotL. If it is as easy as i think it is, then painting them up shouldnt be too difficult at all... It's just modelling the buggers that will be a pain.

Good News..... and some Bad News....

And in any case one of you weirdos was wondering, no i was NOT fired from work!!


Anyway, lets start with the GOOD news.

- Touched up the undercoat on the Sisters and they look pretty good to go (and about time).
- Cleaned up the main Rhino components for the Rhino/Immolator.
- Started the first phase of the GS work on the Faith Counter markers
- Did some more robe work on my AotL Vet Sgt

The BAD news....

- My GS skills are semi lacking, so im not fully happy with some of the GS stuff Ive done today, but ehh, its a start and at least it doesnt look excessively bad (it could be ALOT worse).
- The more I think about it, the harder it is to really make a proper modular Rhino/Immolator without an extra plastic canopy (why cant GW just stick two in there or one with the Exorcist when it was in stock). So yeah, my only way to get some bonus puppies of these would be to go via mail order... So yeah, this worsens my problem as I dont have a CC and I dont think GW will be moving to paypal payments in the near future.
- I have random ideas for an Exorcist conversion based on the Immolator.. Suffice to say, my brain hurts with all these ideas.
- I want to re-start my Emperor's Childrens (not a good sign at all since Ive committed my time and efforts to my SoB). However, given that the redevelopment will take AGES, it isnt too bad so I could TRY to run a simultaneous 400 pt EC army along side my SoB for the Tale of X Gamers. I also have ideas for the bases which is good although I MAY need to go back to paint testing again since Im looking at abandoning the purple and move to the contemporary pink/black (unless i cant pull it off at all, in which ill go back to purple). Although I do want to keep some bits of purple here and there (plus this is Slaanesh, I can be a mini riot of colors with a similar color spectrum).


Thats pretty much where it is at for the time being. I might do a bit more painting although i DO want to catch up on sleep since I had work this morning and I dont want to still be awake at midnight tonight as I do want to get a good nights sleep.


Hmm.. i MIGHT have to use some of my contacts in the USA to do me a favor or two and see if they have a paypal account so i can pay them back, cos yeah, this is getting retardededed...


At least I dont feel too worried about my SW, TS and 'Nids atm......

I picked up a paintbrush! Oh My!!!

And so the great painting begins (ok, maybe we should just stick to painting begins). Blu-tac'd what sisters I have ready (6 of them) for undercoating and thats well under way now, although I still need to do some touch ups, as there are still a few areas where random bits of pewter are still coming through and I didnt want to coat the minis in excessively thick black paint. If all goes well, I can try and get the undercoat finished within the next day or so. I also undercoated the first 'Nid as well and he looks really nice in black (surprisingly enough). However, like the Sisters, it needs a another quick coat of black to cover up any random bits of plastic. Also, for future reference, I think im going to avoid gluing 'Nid models completely together as its actually a pain in the backside to get to certain parts of the model. However, live and learn I guess (and i was thinking the 'Nids be the first models Id be able to assemble completely and paint without issues). The 3rd SoB Conversion project is going well, I've loosely marked out the 'bases' with the general shape of the Fleur de Lys (which I ended up just drawing on rather than using my template as it was a pain to use). Next time I think i might have to just get some tracing paper and draw the template onto a piece of paper and do it that way. However, they are merely meant as a guide and when the GS phase comes up, ill still do it piece by piece and not try to do the entire Fleur de Lys in a single go, as I KNOW something will go wrong. So with that part of the project done, ill probably wait til maybe this weekend or early next week to start slowly working on the GS phases.

So yeah, surprisingly enough, Im actually getting stuff done and oddly enough, a lot quicker than I normally would!

Darn.. "Peer Pressure" is Evil!!

Since It would be nice to actually have an actual legal and playable army, I have given into what I claim to be "peer pressure" and signed up for the 'Tale of X Gamers' at the B&C. Although, for my sake I didnt set a target of 2000 pts, cos as we ALL know, I'd be here til 2009, PLUS some...

Anyway, Ive signed up my Sisters of Battle for a target size of 400 - 500 pts. Mainly cos I know I dont have that many playable stuff available to me (that works) as I dont think a squad of Repentia in under 1000 pts is really tactically sound (unless the idea of the army is to be insane). Later on (perhaps via an edit of this post) I'll put up a general idea of the list I'm hoping to achieve (and yes, it probably will be variable as I'm sure I'll make magnetic Veteran Sister Superiors).

Im sure it will be an interesting experience as I'll try to make use of all these Eldar bits to make some plastic Sisters (daring I know) to help bulk out what limited models I have and create ALOT more variety of models. So keep an eye out here, as I'm sure there will be alot of interesting things to be seen and hopefully I'll get my target ACHIEVED so maybe come Medusa V I'll actually be able to PLAY a few games!

*EDIT*

So I sat down and made a very brief list of what I wanted to get done in my estimated target size, and surprisinly enough, it wasnt alot (although 26 models for under 500 pts, I didnt think was a BAD thing).

Ill also try to have some of my VSSs magnetized for a few more options without having to make additional models (since they arent exactly cheap to come by).

HQ:

Canoness: Cloak of St Aspira, Blessed Weapon, Book of St Lucius, Bolt Pistol
Total: 101 pts.

Alternatively, I might give her an Inferno Pistol over the Bolt Pistol, thus making her final points cost 115 pts.

Battle Sisters, Squad 1: 10 Sisters, 2x Meltaguns, VSS, Book of St Lucius, Sarissa
Total: 154 pts

Battle Sisters, Squad 2: 15 Sisters, 2x Storm Bolters, VSS, Book of St Lucius, Storm Bolter
Total: 204 pts

I also made another variant of Squad 2 that had the VSS with a Book of St Lucius and Sarissa for a total of 199 pts, although Ill probably be more inclined to take the option with the VSS w/ Book of St Lucius + Storm Bolter due to the overall feel of the squad.

It isnt a bad start (admitedly small yes) but its got alot of space to expand. After i replenish my models (or learn to make kick ass conversions) Ill work on adding in a Retributor squad and probably a Celestians squad as well for the Canoness, which Id imagine will get me close to 1000 pts.

Picture Update!

For those who think that nothing is actually getting done on my desk, HA! It's time to prove ye wrong!! Well slightly wrong.

Anyway, i was taking pics for the Modular tank guide (which just needs to be written up now) and i took a few pics of the finished hormagaunt (modelling wise), who is actually not tilting now (thanks to some sinkers glued to the base). So here you go, the side profile of the hormagaunt, which i wish i didnt put fully together, as Ive unfortunately noticed, its arm is somewhat in the way of its mouth, which means picking out details will be a pain. On the upside, since the arm hides some of the detail, it means it wont be visible normally, so i can probably get away from picking out a few of the teeth.






-TAS

Getting Somewhere.. Kinda...

So I clipped off all the Eldar bits and put them away, so im quite happy with that. It hit me again that the box comes with enough bits to make 16 Guardians (to which i still think is whoa). With that sorted out, I can SLOWLY start on making the first test plastic Sister of Battle. Found a nice lil clever way to get some weight into the 'Nid bases for my Hormagaunts to counter balance them and it seems to work VERY well and it didnt set me back too much in price either (well it seemed pretty ok).

Tomorrow (well today) i should get some time to myself, so im going to try and do some modelling here and there, and might even aim to finish the Modular tank guide (or at least get the pics of it done). So yeah, we'll see how things go now that stuff is slowly moving along now (might even be able to get this single Hormie undercoated as well). And in saying that, hopefully i can prep up some of these Sisters for undercoating as well.

Thats about it for this lil update, hopefully ill have something a bit more meaningful later today.

Procrastination is the Mind Killer!!

That.. and work for the last few days has been somewhat draining and im quite certain, so will tomorrows 6 hour shift, but oh well, these things happen.

Anyway, i now currently have 6 Battle Sisters ready to move onto the slow process of painting. I was hoping to have them ready Ie tac'd down to a base and ready for priming etc, but as i said work has been a bit funky and my sleeping pattern isnt helping at all either. However, im still happy about that, as that means im almost having half the models I need ready for one squad (and i thought marine squads were painful). I also picked up a box of Eldar Guardians, for a bit of 1. to experiment on making plastic sisters (since the pewter will probably be the end of me) and 2. for my future Eldar army. With the bits coming in from Arjan/Erwin/Rico, I should probably have enough eldar components to make a few sisters (unless it proves to be excessively successful in which ill buy more) and still have some bits to play with if I want to start running around with my Eldar idea(s). Mind you, with their codex coming out, I think in the next few years, as I dont think it will be out by the end of the year, ill probably keep any Eldar ideas on hold for a while.

Also picked up a few paints to help improve my Battle Sisters (red ink and 2 vallejo flesh paints). So that should go ok. This weekend will be a lil hectic, so ill see how things go.

My lil Modular tank guide is going a tad bit slowly (no big surprise there i guess) although when i finally get stuck into it, it shouldnt take me too long to finish, although i might try and take less 'worthless' pics and more of the post converted pics of each step (if you cant get the idea after ive done it, then we have a bit of a problem). So if all goes well, i should get my next lil 'care package' in a few weeks.

So tomorrow ill put the Eldar bits back into their box (cleaned them today) and buy a cheap lil bits box for them (getting a nice lil collection of stuff, cos i snip things off their sprue when i can and box them) and maybe look through some of my other boxes for parts i could/would utilize for these Sister conversions. Although im going to TRY and finish the tank thing off before starting them, as that would be ideal. That way, if i need to do alot of GS work, i can do it all at once, and in saying that, i should try and clean up a few 'Nid heads so i can work on them too (since they cant all be set up in one sitting without having finger prints coating the whole head).

Otherwise, thats about it.

Just a small Update.

Nothing exceptionally important for this update since I havent done a great deal.

Slowly started on the Modular Rhino/Immolator guide for the SoB (taken a pic of the parts from the sprue required). I guess if i really sat down and did the guide, it would probably be finished in a day or two. So i might try and do some work on it tonight.

Cleaned up a few more Battle Sister models, including drilling out the bolters/storm bolters which i must say is NOT fun, especially since its pewter stuff. But yeah, its going pretty ok, although considering i want a squad of 15 Sisters, yeah, this could take some time (and boy is it not fun cleaning pewter models). After the Modular tank guide is finished, Im tempted to make DIY Faith Point markers, which will probably be a lil bit of work since this will be a GS tutorial, or if you can afford it, just buy like 10 SoB vehicle sprues and that will easily get the job done, although thats alot of extra stuff you dont really need, especially in the area of weapons, but oh well.

Although it IS a pain, Im going to try and focus on my Sisters for a while and see how much I can get done on them before needing a chance of pace. Havent been touching the 'Nids alot, mainly since alot of that stuff is GS based, so when i start the Faith Counter tutorial, Ill try and get some more 'Nid work done then, so in saying that, I guess I should switch between cleaning up Battle Sister models and cleaning up 'Nid models (which are 10x easier than the SoB models anyway).

Might try and do some painting later this week (we'll see). Trying to get some decent sleep habits back since im pretty settled with work, but yeah, it isnt working as well as i would like it to. Also debating if i want to do anything for the 'Gathering of Angels' competition in lead up for the Medusa V campaign. The competition isnt too difficult, its just finding the time to work on the models and do all that jazz (since we ALL know how slow a painter and converter I am). But we'll see. I might try and get some 400 pt armies sorted out for Medusa of some sort. Perhaps not the Sisters, since 400 pts seems small, but we'll see.

Otherwise, thats this lil update finished.
