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
