Road to the Nationals Part 5.

No snappy tag line this time, I'm tired and my back hurts, so lay off, alright? So I've spent the last two days pretty much doing nothing but painting and modelling, at a glacially slow rate I admit, but I've got some progress to show, which I'm pleased with. I'm starting to get anxious about this all coming together...

Road to the Nationals Part 4 [vaguely]
Righty ho chaps, this really is a little one, I've been a lazy tosser over the past few days, but I've been busy, and I have got some stuff done. This will be an unusual one for me, as I don't really like posting pics of unpainted or unfinished models, but I figure anyone actually reading this deserves...

Road to the Nationals Part 3, really this time, I checked.

Two updates in two days? I know right, I'm effing on fire at the moment. Actually, this is just a little one, since even the simplest models in the force take an evening of work. Got the test model for the Exodite Guardians [termagants] finished, I know it's basically just a wood elf with...

Cool miniatures. Good luck with the tournament.
I'm desperately trying to put together and paint a 2000point Ultramarine army for a weekend tournament with 4 friends in April!

See, I did something like that last year with my dark elves, it's been a lot easier this time round, and I think putting progress reports on the net has helped. [That is at least partially an excuse to see another person's army, I'm a sucker for buld logs]

Thanks for the compliments.

Road to The Nationals, part 2, I think, maybe three. And some other stuff.
After over a week of slaving away, betting sidetracked, and catching eye-plague [which buggered my depth perception at deeply inconvenient times] I've finally managed to finish the Carnosaur lord//Hive Tyrant for my Exodites. This is the second of the monstrous creatures finished, but this one has take far far longer than...

Hey man your painting and modelling skill are truly impressivebiggrin I don't think Avatar is a great film because they can only be a few of them but I do think it was very good. Hope the eye heals fully soon smile

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, keep an eye out, there's more to come.

The avatar gunships are going to make excellent vendettas and valkyries. though [they're bound to have toys] maybe it's time for another guard army.

It's been a few days, and I need to get some of the noise out of my head, so I think it's time for another of my frequent whinges. Been wondering about home recently, as an abstract concept, rather than the place you hang your hat [not enough people wear hats now, not proper ones anyway, time was that wearing a hat was dignified, now...

Road to the Nationals Part 1.
Right, so I mentioned a few weeks back that I'm attending the National Student Wargames and Roleplaying Championships [or something similarly official sounding] at the end of April this year. I'm taking an Eldar Exodite force, using the new Tyranid rules, so, as the book was released yesterday, I've decided now is when I actually start my army-in-progress blog....

I've noticed that i tend to start posts like this with 'so yeah', or 'ok, so'. Gets kinda samey doesn't it? I talk like this in real life too, it must piss my friends off no end. I'm watching Hackers, I wish computers were like this in real life, I remember my 'rents getting a pc back in the mid-late nineties, when I wasn't really...

Well, my imaginary readers, I've just got in from seeing The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, and I was impressed, I've been waiting a while for this since seeing The Dark Knight, and hearing that Terry Gilliam was making a film half-starring a dead actor. I've always loved Gilliam's style and sense of the bizzare, but other stuff of his that I've seen's been a lot...

So I'm determined to have a crack at reviewing movies, probably in a spectacularly unprofessional way. I'm in the process of watching Transporter 3. I love this kind of film, they're always terrible, the plot makes very little sense, other than an excuse to string together a series of car chases explosions and burly men beating the shit out of redshirts. But they're easy, the...

Alright, so here I am again, nursing a hangover. I woke up when it was already dark, and that's kinda set the tone of my day so far. I've got fuck all to write about, but I'm determined that I'm going to write something anyway. I'm alone for the first time in weeks, with absolutely nothing to do or watch. I've always been a bit...
