Warhammer 39,999

Not much of an update here.  The bits I dipped earlier this week are mostly dry, but still a bit tacky.  I’ve heard before that they take about 24 hours to set, but in my experience, they can take as long as 72 hours… and I’m a patient enough guy, so I might as well wait until there’s [...]

My garage was a scene straight out of Jeremiah Johnson last night, complete with stains and an Indian burial ground.  Ok, so it wasn’t an officially so, but seeing so many limbs on spikes reminded me of that classic movie (“Fine measure of a man, yes?”). Anywho, this past weekend, I got tired of seeing armless Tyranid [...]

I’ve been plagued with cans of Ultramarines Blue spray paint that just don’t work.  I must have ten cans of this in my garage which are mostly full, yet they refuse to spray and I can’t come up with a solution to breathe some life into them.  As a result, I’ve had to find a [...]

Way back in January, I had done up a post on using models as substitutes for Tyranid models, called Counts as Tyranids.  In particular, I had been toying with the idea of using some of the models from HORDES (by Privateer Press) as Tyranids in my new army. Well, I went ahead and purchased those [...]

We haven’t gotten many games of 40k in this summer, so when Blaine asked if I was game, I jumped at the chance to exterminate some bugs.  Though I had really wanted to bust out my Doom of Malan’tai against low-leadership bugs, I opted to go with the power of the BLOO, since I know [...]

Nothing  terribly fancy here, just an update on my Gargoyles which I dipped last month before going on my trip.  I painted up forty of these in similar color schemes earlier this year, and due to  a shortage of nails in my  house, I decided to only dip them 20 at a time.   I already [...]

Though I only pledged to make 100 posts this year, I still feel like I need to contribute two to three posts per week to keep myself interested in blogging.  Sadly, I missed last week and only snuck out a single mediocre offering.  I s’pose after spending a month in DC, I just needed some [...]

After years of using the site, coupled with the search-fu learned from being an IT guy, I reckon myself as somewhat of an eBay professional.   By the way, for those of you who don’t already know this, IT guys don’t know all the answers–they just look errors up  in Google.  That’s why, I’ve a policy [...]

Though I don’t use raveners in games much (and haven’t really liked them tremendously since their inception), I seem to find them relatively cheap around the net, and pick them up just the same.  I’m up to a grand total of twelve models now, broken up into squads of 6, 3, and 3.  All of [...]

What do the A-Team, skinny jeans, and the Scythes of the Emporer have in common?  If you can’t figure it out, that’s ok, I can’t either and I wrote that sentence.  I was trying to make a kitchy start to this write-up highlighting how things from the past are dusted off and past off as [...]
