Let me know what hasn't sold next Monday and I'll see how rich I feel. But between this morning, ebay and adding some miniatures to a paint order, I've spent quite a lot on minis in the last 7 days.

No sooner than I paint something then two (or five) take its place.

P.S. I HATE Nekima's horns. That model is never leaving the house. Only sword Viktoria even gets close to being that annoyingly fragile. Actually, Viks wins. Her hands have fallen off before I've even started painting her.

Fair enough....as I said I'll move the remaining lot to the trading threads possibly tomorrow or wednesday...Just want to give the regulars first dibs!

But if I have anything left on monday...you're first on the mailing list!

And if it came down to a choice....Raven Guard or Space Wolves?

Lol...I have purchased a lilith crew already built, so the horns thankfully were someone elses problem! But considering all the lists i've drawn up have not contained Nekima, i guess she'll be on the shelf for evermore!

And as for the Viks..I want them, to build a female outcast crew, but will wait for the alts!

Hmm, tough choice. Raven Guard never existed (outside of fluff) when I last played, but Space Wolves were a bunch of over-powered Mary Sues. I say go with the Ravens.

I'm glad you said that...they have always been my favourite chapter, but the wolves have some sweet minis... But I am only considering a small force to start with (1000pts) so I think i'll get more bang for my buck with the Ravens..plus easier to paint!

I quite like the Wolves fluff though...well, the new stuff anyway!

One day I'll let my Lilith crew have a game but they were mostly just got for something for me to paint very slowly in the background.

My Outcasts are still waiting in the painting queue. Viks, ronins and Miss D are assembled but not even undercoated. But there is now only Kaeris in line before them.

I've not ready any of the new stuff (or any 40k in the last 10-15 years) so all I've read was the old codex and White Dwarf stories. Usually just retelling the same old Leman Russ stories over and over again.

And that Kaeris model is sweet.....almost listed her, but decided to keep her.

It looks like i'm selling a lot and I am, but I have kept a lot more:

ALL the Guild models to date, including extras for rare models etc...

Seamus and Molly crews

Colette showgirls crew

Lilith crew (all neph plus waldgeist)

Kaeris box

Freikorps

And plan to use some of the proceeds to fund the Viks..

So still lots to work with!

Now just need the time to build the damn things!

The good: I'm apparently getting good at running demos. My last demo person gave me a $40 store credit just for running one for him!

I'm not sure if I should chip in a bit more and run a tournament with 25/15/10 prizes, split it 50/50 (half for me and half to get him something good to go with whatever starter he picks), or buy a crew and paint it up for the store so there's always one ready for demos. I could just keep it and use it to go towards the Viks (was going to play 'em anyway, but they seem like they'd be a good demo crew too).

The bad: cannot get motivated to work on minis unless I'm at the store and no games are available. I need to clean my workspace but I'm too lazy to do that, too. Luckily said laziness only happens after work, eh?

Indeed! Always wondered how vehicles managed to move on such a crowded battlefield! I can imagine an irate land raider driver constantly pressing the horn!

Now I imagine a fat cabby in a stained undershirt, yelling out his Land Raider in a NY accent.

"Hey yous guys, Would ya move that giant mutated Hive creature? I'm try'n to drive heres"

At least your NY cabbie would ask the thing to move...over here, he'd probably just mow it down whilst discussing the weather.

Not for long. Almost lunch time.

Why is it so quiet? Is it circular where a few people are off so it's quieter than usual which makes the others not show up, or have they all got real world problems interfering.

possibly real world stuff going on, though i know regnak works shifts, path has his health problems that limits his time on here, and there are also a lot of US posters that probably haven't got on here yet!

I've been painting my trappers... just finished and took a bad camera shot...

shot isn't the best, but those trappers look sweet! And micro art bases?

Well I could get the light down and I also was using my phone so hopefully that can explain the shot...

The Bases are from Fenris Games... arnd are their Egyptian Ruins bases that you can find here http://www.ebay.com/itm/380186092097?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I think the weather's ok here in Leeds, but it's hard to tell! There's something cruel about having a glass walled building, and working in a glass walled lab inside it. I can see the real world, but it's so far away through two sets of heavy duty glass...

I want to go home and find out if the mould i poured yesterday has worked or not!

~Drops out of the sky and lands in my chair~

Well it's been a busy few days of painting models. Finished Raspy's crew, started on Pandora's, got 10 Bile Thralls out of the way and somehow managed to finish all those models in time for the 40th anniversary that was on Saturday. I ended up staying up all night to finish painting them, lol!

Yet, amongst all of that I have still found time to play FFXIII-2... and dear Square, I hate you for how that game ended! Just got 1 more fragment to get on it now, heheheh.
