Thanks. It seems black and pink Eldar are becoming a popular. :D I'm seeing and hearing about them more and more. Who knew?

What sort of pink bread spread do you have in Holland?

Well since it was getting towards the end of the month I thought it would be a good idea to put some paint on something. so I spent most of yesterday and today painting up my 2 Leman Russ's and 3 Basilisks. Pretty much got all 5 vehicles done and now just working on the the 7 crew guys and should be done by tomorrow.

Alright, going away till wednesday, but I may still have internet.  So, the challenge may be up late.  Depends if I can get my mits on a computer.

As for my painting progress I have completed my angelius, and not much else.  But, I did have a night time epiphany.  I want to try airbrushing the basic armor color on my blood claws next month.  Maybe it will help speed up my painting progress.

you can do it!

Actually I was having that same thought, I mean as far as airburshing the base color on my models. It does indeed save a lot of time. I have to do this because in 3 weeks my store is starting a new escalation league and this time I am doing Nids. Which I have all built but not a drop of paint on em. Got 3 weeks between 500 pt increases and all models have to be painted to play with em.



if your store does not do escalation leagues you might want to try and get em to do em. They are great forms of pressure to get people to put paint on their models. Last year I did up a 2k SoB force in 3 months (actually I did close to 3k since I bought more then 2k!) and won with it for the overall tournment.  Who says chicks can't fight??






and to some of my favorites, Valar and Rojo how are you two comming along on your vows?? no slacking!! i know you are on winter break so you got the time!

Well, i'm going to fail my vow sadly - only 5 done.  No time over the holidays to paint was bad for me.

Next month i'll have to finish those last 5 buggers and possibly something else - we'll see how much conversion work i need/decide to do.
