Rolling Snake Eyes

It's been awhile. I've had some things happening in my life like work, family, other crap. I haven't done much of anything with this blog lately. My job blocks all blog sites now and I am actually getting around this by using the Igoogle widget on my Igoogle homepage.

I have found I can make little updates much like I can via a smart phone. In any event I'm back. Let's see what's going on and revisit some old projects.

Mad Dok status. Well the Dok is getting a coat of paint and will be done in short order. The thing is it wont be painted by me. :( I needed to enlist the aid of a friend of mine you all might know, Tim Williamson. he is the master painter of all things Tau and Blood Angels. http://tauofwar.blogspot.com/ He's one of the few people I can trust to pull off what I imagined the Dok to look like when he was done.

I wanted my friend MTD to get a beautiful model and I am just not up to task for it the way I had hoped.
Tim will do an awesome job!

Another old project is my Objective markers. I am in the process of building two more to bring my total to five. I can probably knock out two this weekend. When I get my camera Saturday, Ill start taking pictures and posting more.

Also on my hiatus I have rediscovered my love for Space Wolves. The SW army was my second 40K army back in 2nd edition, my beloved Orks were 1st. So I have been compiling lists, building models, old and new. I even found my box of 2nd ed Blood Claws NIB! I also found my Leman Russ Exterminator from 1996 NIB with shrink wrap still on it with a 29.99 price tag still stuck to it!

Alas I can't use the Russ any longer. :( I have been playing some games with them and I am getting really comfortable. Now that I have a list i like, I know have to paint it. Though that will be hard to do. I have so many distractions right now. I have a BA jump pack army I built/converted. A friend gave me 40+ jump pack marines after GEN-Con 2 years ago and I finally have some use for them. Then there is my love hate relationship with Orks that keeps hounding me.

I saw the new savage orks on boar models and I though how easy would it be for me to convert those to cyboars and make an all boar (bike) army for orks. Straight Feral orks! It would be awesome. Must....resist....

Hopefully I can get back on track with the new camera this Saturday. I have a lot of conversions I've made and would like to share them.
