Back-to-Work Challenge - Day 2

Sadly I crapped out at the 2 and a half hour mark again, but I got a lot done before that.  I'm resting now, but I thought I'd share some quick pictures.

Back-to-Work Challenge Day 1

This has not gotten off to a good start.  Excepting of course the one-day delay yesterday, I managed to put in a whopping 2 and a half hours before my neck began hurting so much it's making me nauseous.  I never realized until today just how many breaks I take while I'm painting.

Back-to-Work Challenge Delayed

The start of my Back-to-Work Challenge is being delayed a day on account of real life.  More updates tomorrow.

A story of how my city burning down delayed my posting

So, the city where I live, Lethbridge, nearly burned down last night.  It really distracted my, obviously.

I was going to take some pictures of my marines but then got pretty distracted.  So, in lieu, tonight (hopefully if I don't get back too late from work) I am going to talk about my first round of our local escalation league, my thoughts on the army and my plans for 1500pts.

Shortest story ever...

A New Challenge Enters the Ring!

In light of recent events in my life, and since I just got a large influx of new models, I've come up with a new challenge for myself: The Back-to-Work Challenge!

Here's the back-story:  I haven't had a 'real' job in a few years.  I was injured and lost the ability to my my high-impact job, so began doing token paperwork and data entry.  But I'd hardly call it a real job.  Anyways, my wife and I are moving from Vancouver, because it's just getting too expensive to live here.  However, that means we'll be shutting down our business, and getting 'real' jobs once we move.  Now since I've been living on a pretty lax schedule for the last few years, I figure I need to re-learn how to be productive for long stretches of the day.  And to see how much my neck can tolerate, as a gauge of whether or not I'll be ready for full-time work.

Green Feevah No Longer! (Or Green Feevah Goes to the Dark Side)

I finally did it.  I got rid of my Orcs and Goblins.  And my Orks.  I'm out of the Orc/Ork game all together.  And while part of me is sad to see them go, I'm also pretty relieved.

I have, however, picked up quite a bit of new stuff.  I picked up a significant number of Vampire Counts, a large Chaos Marine Army and a large Necron army.  I'm officially in the villain business!

I'll throw more information up as I figure out what all I have, but it's a lot of stuff.


But a taste of things to come!

Back in the Saddle, Day Eight and Nine Report

Well unfortunately, life is still getting in the way of progress.  So I've gotten next to nothing done in the last two days.  I'm hoping to turn that around tonight, but we'll see what happens.

I started putting flesh tones on the Dawrfs, but then ran out of Tallarn Flesh. Grrr...
