Rumbling Forward
Friday was a fast-paced sprint to the finish line. We managed to get all the Orks done and looking good in time for a battle report (which we played today, Saturday– I’ve got 70 minutes of footage to edit for that). Almost everything is caught up. I even spent some time cleaning the place up.
I made a fateful decision today. The Magic has got to go. We’re playing it too much. I can hardly expect to be successful at business if I allow such idleness into my life. I haven’t played computer games for many years for the same reason. Oh, I want to, but it’s just one of those things that needs to get sacrificed. So, I had my wife pick up my collection and stow it. I’m going to see if I can find a buyer.
I am working on getting things booked out to a more acceptable level. I’ve got to kick it into high gear. So, needless to say, I’m standing by if you have inquiries or orders! There is still one golden spot open for each of the IG specials.
Things are going great at home. My home is a loving and warm place; like a brood of badgers in a burrow. My wife is upstairs cooking oatmeal raisin cookies and making me a sandwich for dinner. The kids are enjoying a long lazy day– they stacked every pillow and blanket in the house on the couch. They were proud to show me “Mount Comfortable” when I got home.
Today, the big news today is that I managed a battle report with the studio Orks. There is only one thing left to paint for them: a unit of Kommandos led by Snikrot. That will bring it to about 2300 pts. I’ll have part 01 of the batrep up tonight for sure. And I still plan on finishing up the Ultramarines rematch, too.
I will always love you
I fell asleep on the couch with my wife. We were both wrecked. Summer is so draining, but in a good way. Everything blends into one, kids sleeping helter skelter; the smell of sweat, grass, and dirt. What time is it? 10pm, 2am?
.
I woke up at 4am with Tamie’s foot in my back, my right arm freezing and left arm roasting. So, I got her stumbled off to bed and I started getting some webwork done. I apologize for no videos in the last week. It is time-consuming to process them. I enjoy it to be sure but it takes a back seat. I had a lot of paperwork to get done.
.
At the studio things are proceeding apace. The logjam in Assembly is breaking up and the painters are in full swing. Sarah is on summer hours for June so I’m putting in a few late nights. Read: playing Magic with Renn.
.
I am currently getting projects set up for July, so inquiries are welcome. We are ready to go!
I am in the home stretch with the Orks. I spent some time in the assembly room putting together the battlewagon (tandem project with Renn).
.
After work yesterday the whole family headed to Macey’s for some vanilla ice cream and root beer. My wife made a potato and bacon casserole for dinner. I want that for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Tamie is such a great cook. She really has a talent with the spices; to take the ordinary and make it into something so tasty.
Trade-in Rates for June 2009
Here are the trade-in rates for June 2009. I’m offering service credit in trade for models. Read this completely as I have recently improved almost every aspect of this program!
.
You can usually get a much better deal going to the secondary market (local shop, ebay) on your own. However, the advantage of trading in with us is that you are likely to be able to unload disparate items without a lot of hassle (e.g. finding various buyers, setting up payment, lots of minor questions).
.
.
If you want to trade in, we need a list with retail values and condition (e.g. new in box, new on sprue, assembled, primed). The rates below are a multiplier. If the entry says 0.30 it means you would get $30 for $100 worth of retail items. Just take the retail total and multiply it by the number. You do not need to figure this out; you can just send in your list of stuff to bluetablepainting@gmail.com
.
.
In the past I have only allowed for half or less of a project to be paid in credit this way. But for the time being I am lifting that restriction.
.
I just know there’s someone who goes out to their garage, surveys the mass of unpainted models, sighs then turns out the light. This program will hopefully allow someone with the “white primer horde” to finally show up with a painted army. As an added bonus, your models will get a good home where they will be painted and loved.

.
We don’t need painted figures. Exception: if they only have a little bit done with them; not too thick, not too many layers. Primed models are OK, again not too thick.
.
.
You can also get a credit of at least $10 to help with your shipping costs. This is on request.
.
.
If you want to trade-in figures, but don’t have a project ready, that’s OK, I will confirm your total and then you will have it on tap for when you want to use it.
.
.
This trade-in is recorded as a payment on your project. It is non-refundable except at our discretion (eg you can’t refuse the project and then get your trade-in amount refunded as cash). Trade-in can be applied to cost of models, assembly or painting as you wish. This means you can also just get models sent to you (this is limited to models that are commonly available, eg not Forge World).
.
.
Generally, we only need in-print models that are currently in production.
.
.
These rates and conditions may change so it is recommended to check in every once in a while. I am likely to update the numbers about once a month. The plan right now is to update every first of the month. Fairness is the guiding principle.

Ork Horde Gathers
Sorry kids. Daddy can’t push you on the swing today. He’s busy painting his Orks.
Over the weekend I managed to bring the horde to the following counts of stuff that is all painted:
30x ork boyz (40 more to go)
1x Mekboy with Kustom Force Field Projecta
10x Burna Boyz (with a mekboy in there, that makes 11)
1x Warboss on Bike, the Forge World one
9x Warbikes (can be Nobz)
1x Trukk
Still to be painted:
40x ork boyz
1x Snikrot
1x Ork Dreadnought conversion
1x Battlewagon (kitbash of ork battlewagon kit and a baneblade)
15x Kommandos
And that easily makes 2000 points.
My goal is to really hit the brushes and get them ready to play a game this coming weekend. Models that I actually have on hand add up to 1850 points. I ordered a box of Kommandos and plan on rounding that out to a unit of 15 with converted regular models, and the Snikrot which I already have. We’re set.
Got a Little Captain in You?
When I was about thirteen my father’s alcoholism intruded on my consciousness. When he was sober, which was most of the time, he was a great hero of a man; a well-read-genius-early-riser-entrepreneur. But when mom left on vacation (?), and he fell off the wagon, he was pitiful, disappearing from our lives and from work. Friends would come by looking for him. His best friend (a woodworker) was also our neighbor, and he would check in on me to give me quarters for the arcade and to be sure I had enough food.
.
One night, mother laid sheets out over the bed, and a bucket nearby for the puke. Well, for some reason I can’t remember I was alone when he came home. He missed the bed and ended up vomiting everywhere. Looking over this scene I made a quiet, but dead-serious decision. I decided to never drink. Not one drop as long as I lived.
.
I saw how it destroyed our family. And how hard it was to leave it. It is only in hindsight that I see clearly the purpose of the AA meetings.
.
When I chose to be baptized as a Mormon at age 15 it only reinforced the decision. Mormons observe what is called the “Word of Wisdom” which is a vow to take care of one’s body, eat properly, and stay away from harmful substances (specifically mentioned are coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco– though proper use of the last two are outlined e.g. alcohol for cleaning wounds).
.
Naturally, during high school my friends discovered the liquor cabinet. On occasion, they would try and prevail on me to join in, but to no avail. I found that after standing my ground a few times, the group would not only let the matter be, but defend me. I was the constant designated driver.
.
One time, they put vodka in my chocolate milk as a prank. I tasted it, and went and made myself throw up. Point made.
.
There was one time, while my friends were in college (I did not go until I was 23) and I was feeling particularly worthless. I was sitting in the dorm room looking at the mini-fridge thinking I’d do anything to numb the pain. Maybe getting hammered would to the trick. But in that timeless moment I turned away.
.
How much easier it is to nip bad habits in the bud. Or not even start. I would highly recommend making this vow to any young person. I think it has removed a major complication from my life; sweetened it as it were.
.
I find commercials for alcohol laughable. Superimposed over it I see my father, pale-faced, ralphing his guts out. A great man brought low. How can they paint such a pretty picture when in a certain percentage of cases (not everyone ends up an alcoholic) a man’s life is ruined? And children.
.
A line from a song by Cake: “excess ain’t rebellion, you’re drinking what they’re sellin” It occured to me that by not drinking I was a sort of rebel against the status quo.
.
After my father passed away, I got to speak with his friend (our neighbor). He said that whenever life was overwhelming for my dad, he would hit the bar and go on a binge. But that after he got the news that he had cancer, he was walking down the street with him, and he passed by the bar, only pausing briefly on the sidewalk. I think in the end he put his demons to rest.
.
But how much better to stay clean from day one.
.
PS- I make my usual disclaimer here. I don’t make or pretend any claim to supersalient virtue. I am just a regular man, with problems on my own. It is my hope that perhaps one reader may be influenced for the good.
