| Spectacular, eh? |
Considering how long I've had this picture without posting it, let's get right to it. On the left is the current state of the BA Devastators, batch one, after a first pass of Blood Red. Not a whole lot of sexy here. but it's a start. I'd love to say that I've been hip-deep in hobby progress while my computer, now reborn betterfasterstronger, but then I'd be stretching the truth. I got some minor things done, like finishing Flight of the Eisenstein and receiving the Trollblood package from PP (which shall receive a fuller post in the near future), but the majority of this past week was filled with researching computer parts. This next week has a bit more promise though, so hopefully I get some stuff done. What kind of stuff you wonder? This afternoon I wondered along a similar path, and what I came up with looks a lot like this:
- Track down a copy of Wrath. The FLGS has had it back-ordered since before it released, so I may try the less-local, not-as-friendly FLGS. There's also an even less local store that I've been meaning to get out to, but it's a bit of a drive.
- Finish painting something. Not to nest bulleted lists, but I have a bunch of projects going just now.
- Blood Angels, especially Devastators
- Orks, especially Slugga Boys
- Trollbloods ready for some TLC
- Khador is always neglected
- The Iron Dwarves make Khador look spoiled by comparison
- There's no good reason I can't finish something from that list in the coming week, so that's my plan. The Devs are already stuck to the painting caps, so they're the obvious choice, but I'm not ruling out doing something else. I may mount multiple models just to be ready.
- Finish reading some source books. I've had EV's copy of Escalation for at least a year by now, and while I doubt he's dying to have it back I would like to finish reading it and send it home at some point. There's also the CSM codex that I'm partially through, plus the Hordes book.
- Get a game in. EV has a break sometime around now, though I'm not sure when. Making our schedules mesh is an attainable goal.
That's all for now. I'm glad I have a computer up and running again, so perhaps I can get some more paint onto tiny things now that I don't have to worry about how I'm going to update my selection of podcasts.
