The space-time continuum is conspiring against me...

Ok, so I've been pretty busy as of late and havn't really done a whole lot of painting. I had a karate tournament, I had been training for, on sunday. I think there's another one in august, not sure. The one on sunday was good. Down in weston-super-mare. Had a few of the refs from the british university champs. Good guys.

Anyway, since I last posted I havn't really worked on my dire avengers. I undercoated them, and put part of the base down for the champion, and that's about it. I got bored of them after that, hah. They looked like fun on the box. Oh well. I have painting one of my grail knights, however. The box only came with four sets of legs though, so I'll be one knight short :(. I could take it back, but I only realised I had one leg missing after I started glueing them all together.

I've actually decided to start building up an army in either warmachine or hordes now. The miniatures look a heck of a lot better than whatever games workshop puts out. And that takes a lot for me to say that americans have done something better than us brits... d'oh. Privateer Press - I bow to you.

I've been thinking of getting in WM+H for a little while, and now that maelstrom are stocking them, I guess now is the parfect time. I can also pick up some vallejo paints I've been meaning to try from maelstrom. So far I've stuck to games workshop. But the bottles of vallejo look better as I can pour the paint out drop by drop. Making it easier to mix the correct paint ratios. I look forward to it.

Untill then,

Sayonara

Folk from the BBC...

So the BBC were filming at karate last night. Pretty cool. They're doing a thing on my sensei for a show about young entrepreneurs under 30. Being aired in september I think. Can't quite remember the name though. Something Tycoon. I dunno. Keep a look out for it, should be good :).

So it's decided to stop raining. Which is cool. It actually wasn't raining yesterday, but I was so busy, I didn't even have time to quickly undercoat my avengers. Hopefully I'll get a moment this evening sometime. Busy day today as well. No rest for the wicked :).

Adios.

It's raining, it's pouring

Ok, so it's been raining the past couple of days. Which means I havn't been able to get out and spray my dire avengers *waggles fist at the sky*. I havn't really been in the mood to finish off my guardians. There's not really much to it. I think from now on (for a while at least) I'm going to purchase individual models. That way I'll be painting something different and new each time.

Also, I've been thinking a lot about painting some fantasy figures too. After looking through the catalogue there's quite a few guys I really wanna have a bash at.

Not much else to report really. But if there's anybody out there that does somehow have control over the whether. Could you please send some sunshine my way? Thanks :).
