I cannot believe it has been over a year since I have
posted on the blog. I have been on the forums for Imperial Vox Cast and The
Independent Characters doing all my posting I haven’t been here. That needs to change even if it’s just a
fortnightly or monthly hobby update.
There has been a great deal of changes in my life in the
past year but the major has been in the last seven months. I was working as a
timetabler at a University in Sydney but due to some over spending in the last
two year by the CV (only fifth Million not that much really) hundreds of people
across over 20 campuses and 3 states were made redundant and my whole
departments was o longer needed.
Short version my wife went back to work and I am now a
stay home dad of two. My five year old son is happy as when his sister goes for
her nap there is a good chance of a game of Munchkin or Hero Quest (love that
old game) at least they are the popular two at the moment with an old star wars
board game that is just a little younger than me and I am almost 40.
Well now I am guessing for most of you guys out there you
are going score all that hobby time. Now there are a few out there which know
the truth but let me say it anyway that is so far from the truth it would make
you cry. I have been working on a 1500
point Blood Angel army for my son since February and with one tactical squad
and a priest to go I am going to be so happy when I finish it and stop painting
red…
My wife before she went back to work let me have a hobby
order so big it made me scared.
Just a few of the things are below.
Chaos Space Marine Codex
Space Marine Codex
Dark Angel Codex
Dark Vengeance
Space Marine strike force box
Centurions
Sternguard
Devastators
Now this had its issues as after getting this order in
the mail I then went to a convention and picked up second hand a metal
Thunderfire Cannon and a Whirlwind. Ok you say that’s not to much so far but
for me I then added 4 Rhino/razorbacks, a Land Raider Crusader, terminators, 2x
Assault marine box sets, and near to 40 space marine legs and enough parts to
make them into anything I need with a head of other stuff thrown in and I went
into shock overload from the options that I had.
One thing is clear to me though and that is I will add to
my little Crimson Fist Army to make it into a total company.
Well that is enough raving for now and its back to being
dad and until next time lets see what I can get done.
