Radio Silence

Yeah I've not posted much lately. Birthday, work, and illness have all conspired against me.

First a lesson learned: It is far better to assemble then paint rather than paint then assemble. I've painted my first firewarrior team (mostly) and begun assembling last night. However I discovered that attempting to glue together two painted figures. I discovered that anywhere there was paint the figure did not bond. I did discover it will pull the paint off, allowing a second application work. So I hope that I finish the other units I can scrape the paint off with my knife then paint.

Second I got some 3mm x 2mm disc magnets from a student at work in trade, and I was able to set them into my XV-8 Suit. I hope to magnetize the weapons soon.

Finally my warhammer collection looks as follows:

  1. 30 firewarriors
  2. two devilfish
  3. two XV-8 suits
  4. one hammerhead on the way
  5. one stealth team
  6. 10 kroot
  7. one pirhana
  8. goddess knows how many gun drones.
Finally the Tau world has been abuzz with the announcement of the Crisis XV-9. While I would like to get my hands on one - especially if they give it some nicer weapon choices - there are far too many other pieces of equipment there I'd love to get my hands on.

Ah well. Hopefully more soon.
