Actually finished it Friday. I still have to do the edges of the bases and the movement trays, but close enough for government work. More pictures sometime.

I think I'll be taking a break before I start painting again. Probably until school is done.

Done with the last block... So what I got left, is the general, two, shield bearers, the BSB and the last engineer.

I'll try to add some pictures later.

7 Days left.

Well I finally did it. I finished my 10 warriors. It only took me a couple hours, and was no big deal. I think they look pretty good. I don't have any pics because Tamara is off to Brazil this week for Dell.

I figure that this week I'll finish the last 10 warriors. With Tamara gone, I'll probably have a bit on my time on my hands. I think I'm getting jazzed up to finish the Dwarfs (or at least jazzed up to be on to something different).

So I didn't make my goal this week. I didn't quite finish up my 10 warriors. I'm close, but I still have to do their bases, do a black wash, and then paint in the horns of their helmets.

I think I'm getting a bit burned out of painting the dwarfs. I didn't do any painting Monday or Tuesday, then went out to play D&D with some guys from work on Wednesday. But I think the main reason I wasn't able to finish my Dwarfs this week was the fact that the site looks like ass. :)

Bolt Thrower #2 done!

Well now that I can walk without  being hunched over like an old man, I figured I'd post an update.

I worked my ass off (or perhaps I should say my back off) this week, and I am pretty sure sitting at my desk hunched over for a minimum of 4 hours each day is what did my back in. The 8 hours I spent on Friday was probably the nail in the coffin, but I finished up the Hammerers.

So I got a bit behind. I let the gyrocopter lapse. I figured there would be time enough over spring break while my mom was here. I was planning to finish the gyrocopter and 20 Hammerers last week.

Then I got sick.

So I just finished up my first 10 Longbeards. For some reason this seemed like a shit-ton of detail work. A lot more, I feel than the other units I've done. For some reason it seemed that the shields were a PITA to complete. I am wondering it is because of all the gold.

So I finished my challenge for the week. I actually got quite a bit of work done during the week. I almost finished up my 6 warmachine crew before the weekend started. I think I did pretty good with them. Its kinda hard to see, but I tried my hand at "jeweling" the lenses of the goggles on the second guy from the right. I also made one of the goggle lenses gold while the rest of it is silver. I think I did a really good job on the muscles of the guy pulling the lever for the bolt thrower.

So I've been reading a lot of Black Library books. Recently I've started in on Fantasy. The first one I picked up was a Dorf book (of course) called Honourkeeper by Nick Kyme. I then went into the Gotrek and Felix First and Second Omnibuses (Omnibusi?). There were some really good books in there. I especially liked Daemonslayer and Beastslayer, and I loved the use of the Skaven in the books.

Well I realized that I haven't posted any pictures in a while, so here it goes...

Well two weeks in a row, I've completed my self-imposed goal. The funny thing about these goals is that I set them for myself for an entire week, but I usually just do 95% of it on the weekend. I should set the goal on Friday and look like a total bad-ass and have it done by Sunday...

Well I failed to meet my first goal of getting 5 dudes painted up in the first week, but in the second week I challenged myself to not only finish up those 5, but to do another five.

So things have gone down hill. I really haven't done anything since Wednesday. I worked 13 hours on Thursday and Friday and I was tired. Saturday, as you know, we got the new puppy, and on Sunday Tamara surprised me with Rock Band 2 for the Wii I got her for xmas. Yesterday, we had our livingroom painted, so crap...

There have been some updates. I recieved my Warriors, while we were down in Houston picking up Finnley, we were like 2 miles from one of the 50-odd GW stores, so I went in and picked up a Dwarf Engineer. So as of now, all I need for my list is:

Bolt Thrower (with 3 crew)

King Alric (with 2 shield Bearers)

Engineer

6 Hammerers

So because I have been working on stuff on the assembly line, it is hard to judge exactly how much I have painted. I think for the end of this weekend, I am going to try to have 10 Quarrelers completed, and have the warrirors assembled.

So I am strongly considering going to the Capital City Carnage in May, so I need to get some things done.
