I can finally call my to-this-point pure Custodes force, Talons of the Emperor! Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Squad

A change of pace. I'm going to paint my friend's Space Wolves army for him, and am very excited about the new project. Getting started with the Imperium's Best Doggos:

Veronorka?

getting some more work done on the Necrons! My goal is to have em all painted in time to play the new codex!

The first five E2B Assault Intercessors from the Indomitus box.

Some additional Custodes!

That's the true strength of 40k. As someone who's been playing off and on for 20 years or so, I can honestly say that the biggest mistake people make with 40k is taking it too seriously. It's a beer and pretzels game, and as long as everyone involved understands that, it's a lot of fun. You just have to understand and accept that GW is GW, and they're going to do [big bad swear word] like this. If you're okay with it, groovy, you play 40k and have fun. If not, you move on to other games, like a lot of us have in the past. Just be selective about where you play and who you play with, and

Invading Hamster territory...

This guy is mostly done, need to base him and do some highlights. Primaris Chapter champion with double bladed power staff, conversion from Indomitus Ancient.

My sister is absolutely hilarious. She wants to learn Mandarin, she knows some but wants to get fluent so she was looking to hire a tutor. Due to some miscommunication, he thought he was going on a blind date. He didn't nail it... 1) He saw a bug on her head, smacked her, evidently missed and asked if he could try again. She told him if he touched her again, she'd scream. 2) He told her he wished he could be stupid like her. Stupid people can afford to be optimistic, smart people feel the weight of the world, and even sometimes kill themselves over it. 3) He told her he fe

and on a different note here's some screamers 🙂

Finished a unit of Space Wolf Intercessors:

It’s probably the only Star Wars movie that I genuinely like. The original trilogy has a very strong nostalgic appeal, of course, and are solidly enjoyable (if not exactly spectacular) films. My opinion of everything else in the franchise ranges from “active dislike” to “apathetic indifference.”

Oh yes, they will be done in time ...maybe 😉

Da Orkz kan loot any’fing dat ain’t nailed down. An’ da Big Mek haz a crowbar, so we’z gonna nick da nails too!

I’m running the marines from my Betrayal at Calth box as a counts as Red Corsairs force. I wanted to add a Sorcerer, and happened to have a spare Ahriman, too, so:

Good for health. Bad for education.

decided I wanted a 2nd technomancer instead of a plasmancer so snip snip and jazz hands!

Work in Progress on my Bretonnian Eternals. Still need to do the armor, touch up their accessories, and figure out a basing scheme. But I’m pleased with how well they’ve turned out so far.

warriors and their Ark

Aww, they left out the years where his adamantium had been removed and he mutated into a form that had no nose.

I feel so conflicted... I have wanted a Ork Count as Marines army for about a year and a half now and thought I killed the urge but then I saw this.... /sigh the urge is back...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTT!

Oh no ....such sad news. Too much sad news as of late... I believe Tobin's Ordo name is Tombking

Tobin was also one of the original attendees at the first 40k OFCC in 2005. I met him and Kevin Clements for the first time as they were walking up the street to WOW. As you say, horribly sad to hear this news. 😢

The Judiciar, coming to mete justice.

Finished the Captain, Lieutenant, and chaplain from the Indomitus box:

I really don't have an issue with GW pricing, which I know puts me in the minority. Over time everything becomes more expensive. The kits are getting better each year. And since GW is publicly traded, their fiduciary responsibility is to their share holders, not us (unless you're a shareholder).But we do have to remember, that this is a hobby. And hobbies tend to be expensive.

I still like to think that one of the best values for GW miniatures in the early 90s were the packaged teams for Bloodbowl. 16 metal models for $20 (IIRC). About the only problem was that the sculpts for team positions (blitzer, etc) varied (1-2 poses per position, except for linemen) and aside from shaking the plastic container to shift the contents, you weren't completely sure about what models you were getting. Many was the time I would spend 1-2 hours scoping out all the blisters on the rack at the Mall 205 Things From Another World with my HS buddies.

I prefer to patronize my FLGSes whenever possible. Not only does it give me an excuse to hang out with my fellow nerds, it helps keep a small local business afloat and ensures I have a place to play with my toy soldiers. But none of the local shops had them, they were selling out rapidly, and so forth. I’ve been buying stuff from GW mail order for decades, literally. From back when you had to fill out a paper form and mail it to them, like some sort of paleocene creature. Or later when had to dial them by phone, like a neanderthal... Other than the occasional box missing slotta bases or a

Never mind. I just decided to buy another terrain set instead. 🙂
