WIP: Night Lords Contemptor Dreadnaught video

And now for the worst part... painting...

This made me chuckle...

While wasting some time online this morning before work, I went through my YouTube account to clear out the inbox and some other general account maintannce since I rarely do it that often.
And before logging out, I looked into some of my posted videos to see how they were doing and who was watching them, and noticed on my "blingblade" video that one particular reference link had 2300 veiws attributed to it. Oddly enough, it was to a page on tvtropes which is kind of an odd site to be getting referrals from. So out of curiosity I looked into it:

Near the bottom in the area where they mention examples of the particular trope, under tabletop games:

◦It's not limited to armor either: Commissar Yarrick owns a pimped-up Baneblade called the Fortress of Arrogance.
■ Then people try to surpass it...


It's funny how small the world seems to be, especially when you are playing with tiny toy men.

I can not say the name without this song getting stuck in my head:

But any ways, this is as far as I have gotten with this guy. Still got some minor cleaning and putty work to do, but got all of the important joints magnetized.

Long time, still no post...

Well, apparently forgotten about this blog, again.
Little progress in any of my other projects, life and work eats up most of my time, and the book eats up the rest.

I acquired these recently as a gift for a friend, and am rather stumped on who is the manufacturer of these pre-heresy terminators.


Thoughts? They do not appear to be puppets of war, scibor, Maxmini, etc. All I know is that the source is apparently in Russia.

40K weekend...

Over the weekend, attempted to do some painting to keep with an "oath" I took earlier in the month. I am not convinced that I will be able to fullfill it, but I do need to get back into the habit of being in the hobby again, one way or another.

Then there was the used games auction at the St. Charles branch of the Fantasy Shop. I decided to enter a few things, mostly forgeworld and chapterhouse stuff I doubt I will ever use or regret buying. I am a little disappointed in how much most of it sold for, but then again it is an auction where most of the people are cheapskates or on limited funds. Managed to win a few old bloodbowl and necromunda books.

I really need to sit down and look over my figure stocks(painted and unpainted) again and decide on what more that needs to be clear out. One of the big problems that I have been realizing that I have when it comes to my 40k addiction is that I tend to set too large of goals for myself, and at the same time constantly changing my interests. I need to clear out all of the large projects, and then just concentrate on the smaller single projects which seem to be the more enjoyable pursuits.
For example my Rising Suns marines, which I have had since '92, need to be streamlined and given a better direction, instead of trying to have at least one of every possible unit. Then the Nightlords that were started recently as something to respark my interests again needs to be finished so that at least it can act as a core for further projects later on. And at some point, any future projects need to be a single unit or an addition to one of the then exisiting armies. I can't start a whole new army when I got so many other things that need to be done with what is on hand already.
