Welcome

Update 7/31/14

Before diving headfirst into the next Commission gig of Orks, I wanted to push the ball forward on a project of mine that's been languishing for a while. I've added a Predator Battle Tank to my Ultramarines in the Mek Shop.

Past Updates

Update 7/24/14
After customer approval, the Lions Adamant Space Marines are complete in the Commissions section. To celebrate the release of new Ork Codex, next up on the commission roster are some greenskins!!!

Update 7/23/14
I've added the last model, a Forgeworld Scorpius Whirlwing in Raven Guard chapter colors, to the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commissions section.

Update 7/16/14
I've added a couple of character models, including a Librarian, to the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commissions section.

Update 7/11/14
Well gang, the new Ork Codex is out and I'm in the process of putting it through it's paces. Overall, I think the crew at GW gave with one hand and took with the other in the rules department. Some rules are now waaaaay better, while others got hit pretty hard with the nerf bat.

Ah well, we true Ork players don't play Orks because of the rules. We play Orks in spite of them. At any rate, you can expect some Orky goodness in the Mek Shop in the fairly near future. In the meantime, I've added some Forgeworld Bikes to the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commissions section.

Update 6/24/14
I've added a Predator Battle Tank to the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commissions section.

Update 6/19/14
Whew! Three weeks between updates. Well, splaying open the finger on your painting hand like a butterfly shrimp tends to throw a wrench into things.

Good news. The finger is healing well. The nerves are still knitting back together, but the sensation is good enough that I can get back to work, as you can see from the newly completed Vindicator for the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commissions section.

I'll be getting more painting done in the coming weeks, albeit at a slightly slower pace until I'm healed 100%. I've adjusted the estimated times in commission schedule to reflect what I think is a best case scenario.

Thanks to all of you out there who have wished me a speedy recovery.

Update 5/26/14
Hey gang. It's been a couple weeks since my last update. Sorry about that. However, I do have a good reason for the lack of activity.

I sliced the $#@! out of the index finger on my right hand. It wasn't hobby related, though it did involve a rather sharp piece of metal in my garage. The doctor stitched the finger back together and there isn't any tendon or ligament damage, which is the good news.

Bad news is it will take a while for the feeling in it to get back to normal. It's tough to do detail work when the feeling in one of my primary painting appendages is a little wonky, so it will be a bit of time before there are any major updates.

For anyone interested in an uncensored shot of the wound, here ya go. Keep in mind, that's after a week of healing and the stitches are about to come out.... and yes, that slice was deep and goes right across the pad of the finger. Gnarly.

Update 5/14/14
I've converted an Ork Warboss to go with the Big Meks in the Commission section. Those Centurion kits may be a little funky looking for Space Marines... but they're a pretty cool source of bits for the Orks.

Update 5/9/14
I've finished off a Tactical Squad for the Lions Adamant Space Marines , as well as converting a couple of Ork Big Meks in the Commission section. I've also painted up a Devastator Squad for my Ultramarines in the Mek Shop. It's been a busy week :)

Update 4/29/14
Work continues on the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commission section. The first Tactical Squad is coming along nicely. I don't have a picture of the full squad yet, but I did post a painting tutorial for the color scheme.

Update 4/10/14
I've got the first test model up for the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commission section. Once I get all the details ironed out, I'll get cranking on the rest of these guys.

Update 4/3/14
I've finished up the Dark Angels in the Commission section, complete with a Standard Bearer sporting a freehand Chapter Banner. I've also included a step by step process on how I did it.

Update 3/21/14
It's been a while since I've painted anything for the Dark Angels in the Commission section. All that has changed with the addition of a few Techmarines, Servitors, and tracked weapon platforms.

Update 3/17/14
There are some Forgeworld goodies added to the Lions Adamant Space Marines in the Commission section. It can be rough sometimes building and painting models... 'cuz occasionally you come across some models you reeeeeeally want to add to your collection... Sometimes you don't know you want one, until you actually build it :)

Update 3/6/14
I've started converting up a bunch of Space Marines in the Commission section. These guys are going to be painted in the colors of the Lions Adamant, a custome chapter created by the customer.

I've also finished a shiny new Dreadnought for the Ultramarines in the Mek Shop.

Update 2/20/14
I've finished painting the 'Squig-Powered' Wartrukk and the 'sneaky' Nob in the Commission section.

Update 2/13/14
Now that the conversion work is done on the 'Squig-Powered' Wartrukk in the Commission section, I've added an Ork Nob who thinks he's being sneaky by disguising himself as a Terminator :)

Update 2/6/14
I've got the detail work done on the'Squig-Powered' Wartrukk in the Commission section, complete with a "snotling on a stick" used as bait to get the Squigs moving. Hehehehe, Orks are so much fun!

Update 1/22/14
Continuing with building wacky stuff for the Orks, I'm in the process of converting a 'Squig-Powered' Wartrukk in the Commission section. Gotta love the Orks :)

I've also finished painting a squad of Terminators for the Ultramarines in the Mek Shop.

Update 1/15/14
Ahhh! After a whole LOT of power armor over the holiday season, I'm back working on some more greenskins. I've just finished the conversion work on some Ork Lootas and Wartrakks in the Commission section.

Update 1/8/14
It's been a busy week around here. The Red Hunters Terminators are now complete in the Commission section, complete with a freehand banner. I've also added another Tactical Squad and a Razorback Transport to the Ultramarines in the Mek Shop.

Update 1/2/14  -   Happy New Year
I've been working on the Red Hunters Terminators in the Commission section, and their almost ready for their photo shoot. I've also finished converting some Devastators for my Ultramarines in the Mek Shop, complete with 2nd edition style armor greaves. There's even a 'How To' up in the Tutorials section for those of you interested in making your own.
