Picture: art by Pedro Navarro from the Buglands website. It’s a great site with a lot of tutorials and other inspirational stuff. Just amazing.

I was running errands this morning with my three year old son. While at the bank he was doubled over, whining. I took him to the bathroom to see if he needed to throw up, but he seemed OK. He waited until we were in the car. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat cottage cheese ever again.

.

That was the high point of MY day.

.

But seriously, it was another day in paradise: artists coming and going. We’re working on like five Vampire Counts armies right now. They are a delight to paint and everyone loves the new sculpts. They are truly inspired.

.

There is a trend, though, with new sets to complicate the sculpts. Basic skeletons now have all sorts of bits and bobs; chainmail shreds, wrapping trails, rotted spots etc.

.

Right now I’m in the mood to get another army going: Tau or Eldar.

.

I was looking at the Forge World Apocalypse book and reading the entry of the Tau Manta. You know, everyone gripes about how cool it is but I’ve yet to see a single person actually do one. I’ve getting pretty antsy about it.

.

I am really, really thinking over a color scheme for Tau. It’s agony. I am thinking of doing green or dark green with a contrasting color of white or ivory or khaki. Hermmmm… Comments welcome. I definitely want to do weathering and battle damage.

Also, my Ghost Warriors Eldar army is being sold on eBay now, by a really good client.
