It's Been a Long Time Baby...

Well that's not good - well over half a year since my last update! I must confess that the first half of the year has been unforgivably quiet in the 40k front, but thankfully I've lept off the wagon in style, and am taking part in my first Tournament with my dear friend Admiral Drax, and am hosting a weekend campaign for a number of my friends this winter!

Anyway I'll be getting onto thoes in later posts, but for the mean time I at least have something to show for the time I've been away - my Librarian has now finally been completed...

I'm quite happy with how he's turned out, though the camera seems to have the uncanny knack of magnifying mistakes, and seems to seperate the blending done on the sword. On another note, working on him after plastic figures certainly helps me appreciate how I really, really really hate metal figures - the paint seems to wear off them so quickly it's terrifying! If anyone has any advice on how to treat metal figures so that you don't have to handle them like new born babies, while not making them glossy or degrading the quality of the finish, I would absolutly love to hear it!!

...Right then, by my watch, I reckon I now have around two weeks to assemble and paint the other half of my 500pt army to be ready for the tournament. Ah.
