We don't need no stinking rules

You see all these heated arguments about obscure rule interpretations.  Rules as written vs rules as intended and people being dicks about it just to make sure we all know their opinion is the only one that counts.  Thing is, I think my kids, particularly my 8 year old have way more fun with 40K than any of these people, and they don't even use the rules.  You always know when the conversation starts 'hey daddy, guess what the ork boss did?' that you are about to get a long and detailed battle report.  With sound effects.

New daemon prince - WIP 1

Loved the model so I figured I had to get one as a show piece.  At this stage I have zero interest in a Chaos Daemon army so all this is for is a cool looking mini.  Anyway, so far he is assembled and I've got a Runic Mountain base for him.  I've also pinned the feet and drilled holes in the base.  I didn't glue it down yet to make it easier to paint.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Had a fun day today hanging with Mister Justin of Secret Weapon Miniatures.  Got to see and help with the whole resin base construction process, (I did at least make myself useful), saw some of the other products, and learned about some of the upcoming stuff.  There is some really cool upcoming stuff that I'm sworn to secrecy on.  Its awesome though.  Picked up some of the new Kolinsky brushes which I'm looking forward to using, and had a damn fine Manhattan. 

Basically, good day, thanks Justin.

Elemental my dear Watson

A while back my dad brought over for me a bunch of my old stuff that had been sitting in my parents attic.  Mostly good although it did remind me of what I had given away way back when.  The best part (aside from finding out how much 1st edition plastic space marines sell for) was the cooler and more unusual figures I had that had survived being thrown out.  These elementals make a nice set. 

IG Veterens Done (mostly)

Got these done a little quicker than I expected.  They still need some sealer and probably unit icons at some point, but this is close enough.  The wash didn't work as intended this time.  Not sure if I put too much on (it was late at night) or had it too thick.  Not a disaster, but it makes them look a bit muddled.

 One of the cool things on these guys was the Secret Weapon backpacks.  They fit perfectly and really add a lot to the figures.  Some of the mods I did on these were a bit of a pain.  The backpacks fit like they came with the minis though.
