I never got the chance to thank you enough during our conversations over the length of this project, so I hope this can just about sum it up! I had always been a fan of your studio, but reluctant to treat myself to anything given the price; until Pandora came along! As I unwrapped all of your carefully packaged models, I realized what a truly amazing deal this really was. Especially for a high detail army like the tau, the amount of love that you guys put into these models really made them pop. Each sept marking was individually hand painted, making it easy to see which models belong to which squad, and also adding great narrative to the army itself.
. Not only was I excited to see your work, but your army list is simply incredible. As guard fanatic, I always lean toward a tanks first army. This elite heavy build is a loadout that I would have never thought of myself, but is incredibly enjoyable to play! Given the new build, it was no surprise that my regular opponents were completely taken by surprise too (that still doesn’t account for the following three games that they lost to the greater good).
. To sum it all up, incredible experience. I know that I will enjoy this army for many years to come, and I can’t wait to get my next order in! Best wishes to your and your staff; keep living the dream guys.
I just received my Imperial Guard Strike Force Pandora’s army today. It literally made my day I opened up this large box and from what i saw was amazing, the paint scheme fits the narrative of the army very well and the details with the painting and conversions done to the models were great. I’m absolutely blown away by the Valkyries and the veteran squads each veteran model is different either being in a different pose or having some type of insignia on them to separate them from the other models. Shawn your studio has really out done themselves, amazing job.
I got to the studio and started cracking at the bright and early hour of 9am (or so). I found Elaine… I mean Sarah down there already. We really started working through the stack and pretty much caught up by 1pm.
.
I had a client come by the studio and we had quite a pleasant visit, he and his family. Hey Seth! Nice to meet you in person!
.
I left early, after getting everything cleaned up, and went home to give my wife a hand with dinner. She’s cooking for some of our neighbors, too.
.
If you’d like to book a project, now is the time to do it.

I’m also getting the September round of Pandora’s Army specials ste up. I’m ready whenever you are.
The Pandora’s army special Deathguard arrived today. I must say that I am impressed with the final product. The army arrived in near perfect condition ( just needed to spot glue an Obliterator arm and the Daemon Princes Torso). A hearty thank you to Blue Table on a job that went well above my expectations. I am eagerly awaiting my next order and will use you guys for all my future projects.
The realy enemy is the lack of understanding of basic (basic) economic principles. The most basic one is:
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Here’s my take on this program, if you care. The cash for clunkers program is that someone shows up with a qualifying car (a clunker) at a dealer. They get a credit for the car and they buy a new one. The clunker is destroyed and the dealer gets a reimbursement from the federal government.
What is the net effect here?
1) new debt is created, assuming most people take out a loan for the new car. This benefits the banks.
2) since the old car (which still works) is destroyed, it reduces the supply of low-end cars, which I believe will make the cost of a used car go up. Who does this hurt? It hurts people who are in the market for a cheap used car. That’s me by the way. I bought my car for less than $1000. That’s all I could afford.
3) The vouchers have to be reimbursed by the government. Where do you suppose that money comes from? Ultimately, money is siphoned out of the private sector through one of three means: Taxation, Inflation (printing of money) or Public Debt. In the end it comes out of the pocket of the common man. That’s you, yes you. You’ll be buying your corn flakes and they’ll be a little more expensive because A) the company that produces them will have an increased tax burden, B) the dollar is worth less than it was (because of money introduced into the system by the Cash for Clunkers program), or C) tax increases to pay back interest on money borrowed from foreign governments.
The $4500 vouchers someone happily got at the car lot (thinking it was a free lunch) will ultimately be spread around to the populace.
All this is part of the federal government’s War ON Independence. People must not be allowed to live their lives peacably, humbly and debt-free.
I’ve noticed that food is not off limits. I predict you will see more and more “food crises” where the government must step in to be sure our food is safe. As people get crushed the feds will raid local farms and small producers in the name of food safety.
This is one of the armies we did during the July run of the Pandora’s army special. It’s a 2000 pt Imperial Guard army. I am currently running this special until further notice. So bring it on.
My wife and I were watching a Swartzenegger flick on TV and we conked out on the couch. I shuffled my darling wife (wiped out from three days of camping with three kids– tons of relatives around, though) off to bed. I woke at 1am and got to work. By the time I went back to sleep I was all caught up.
At one point I was listening to one of Regina Spektor’s more fast-paced songs and I realized I was typing in double time to the beat as if the keyboard were a piano. I was really on a roll! I type 80wpm without errors, and can go faster.
I was pretty much caught up at work. Just twiddling my thumbs to set up projects. Come on people, let’s go. Remember, you can get a Pandora’s army that is awesome and happy for $850 (1500 pts). I don’t think you can beat that. We provide everything; do all the footwork.
I got into trouble today by letting my boredom turn into a project: cleaning and organizing the assembly room. You can imagine how many bitz we have left over. We have enough extra parts to make a Space Marine army, for sure. We totally rearranged the place. Swept and filled about two large black trash cans with detritus. Everything ship shape.
I am reading the planetstrike book. I’m looking to get in a game this week.
I’m setting up the next round of Pandora’s armies if anyone is interested.
It was Sundae Monday but I forgot to bring the camera, sorry to say. I will have vids of other sorts up tomorrow.
We pay about $424 a month for ours, but it has an astronomical deductible of $10,000 a year. We saved up and paid out of pocket for Willow. About $2600 at a birth home. She had complications that set us back another couple a thousand. We found the hospital very reasonable with a payment plan with very modest installments.
I think the solution is more supply. The free market is not being allowed to operate. Birth homes, Care Clinics. There you go. Let the man do his job.
Now more inclusive. I was suprised to find about forty different kits produced for this range. This is easily the most extensive Imperial Guard set outside of Cadians.
