Set back and surge forward




Some pics of my desk, as you can see the two project rule been trampled under, and also crept over to the adjacent book shelf.

So after a three hour clean up-of course the entire room was in similar discord. I was able to focus after and make progress on the Nids. got a pile of lash whips done and a brood of converted zoenthropes.

I like most in my weekly group are doing, I am looking at my collection. Now I have been cleaning house for the last couple of years, I have made the decision of cutting even deeper. I can use that money to concentrate on the few games I want to focus on.
Chaos Dwarfs are gone, there is a group army on the shelf that no one uses, Tomb kings-and they are getting a new book soon.
Nids will be my "Main 40K Army" for that system.
Malifaux seems to be kicking my in the nads a bit, looks like I may have three forces soon, we'll see about that one.
The rest of my hodge podge collection will be sold off in lots, just easier that way.
Till next week - some pics

Small Gain!!


Well due to weather I've fallen behind on weekly goals, I can "cheat" and get my half hour in at lunch. The only thing I accomplished was to get the Bone Swords cast, and some saw blades.
I should have these cleaned up and attached by weeks end, I am also hoping to have the Lash whips almost done also.
Still have to come up with a list for the looming tourney, hopefully this week.

FIRST REAL UPDATE.



I have gotten all my nids based for the tourney, still don't have a solid list as of yet. Haven't played that new rules for the bugs so don't really have to much of an idea of how they work now, they seem more expensive but that may be just me.
Anyhow, I have a test paint done and think that I got pretty close on the color's I'm going to use-going the dip them all for shading so it should be quick. Bone sword almost ready to cast, im hoping to have these wrapped in rubber and cast next week, that will just leave making the lash whips, uuggg.
I have found myself not really wanting to do any real sculpting, I was going to do it from scratch but couldn't find my happy place. I think this may have been due to not knowing the direction I wanted to go- no vision i guess.
Next week goals:
Bone swords cast
Zombies based
Hive Tyrant assembled and magnetized

AS PROMISED


Snapped a couple of pics, the first is one of all the models I completed during the painting campaign that my gaming group did. I won first for most models painted didn't feel like counting but I think I was in the high 40's, about 1000 pts. worth.
My favorite models that I painted were my croc-men. Sweet azz models in themselves.
Most of these were painted over the course of 2 1/2 months, painting for a half hour a day.

See title of blog.
I figured that only allowing this amount of time will increase my speed as I will be competing with the clock.
Until next Week !!!

NEW DAY NEW BLAHBLAH

Well, just starting a new one, old name didn't really fit me anymore.
The first few updates will be a catch up of what i've been doing the last few months. The goal, as always, is to keep me on track and minimize projects on the desk. The predetermined number of projects on the desk is no more then two at a time. First update is tomorrow!! I'll snap a pic of my Skorne that got painted during my groups last painting campaign for PP.
