Measuring Template

Just a quick shout out once again to the folks at The 11th Company. A few weeks back I received a measuring template which is quite cool.

It has 6", 4" 2" and 1" measuring edges for all common distances. There is also inch markings along the 6" edge in case you need to measure outside of the common ranges. It even has a hole so you can swing it around on your finger while annoyingly waiting while your opponent slow plays you!

So send them some money at http://www.tangtwo.com/11thcompany/, and they will send you one of these cool templates. If you don't send them money, baby seals will die...

PS. Yes this is a shameless plug, but it's my blog, and these guys are cool, so there.

Reinforcements have arrived

Okay, so my blogging activity has been rather dead for a quite a while now, and now it's time to pick it up again. While I've done a fair bit of putting paint on models, unfortunately nothing has been done to completion. One of my problems has been scurrying to get some sort of force painted to minimum 3 colours so I can actually play with a painted army. This has caused a lot of back and forth due to indecision on my part of what I actually want to paint.

This is now no longer a problem. I have made a purchase from another player who has decided to step away from 40K. Yesterday I received said package, and behold:

 

The acquisition of this force will allow me to get games in with a fully painted army, while allowing me to get units fully painted without feeling rushed. I already feel more relaxed about my painting, and have already started mapping out what I will be focusing on next.

This means I should hopefully have more significant content to add to this blog, which should mean more frequent updates. Now I'm not going to get ahead of myself, I'm setting a minimum target of 1 post a month, with an effort being made to do a post every 2 weeks. We'll see how this goes.
