At this moment I’m creating posts etc. and watching season 7 of Star Trek TNG.
Today, four thousand points of Tau came into existence. This represents the first two results from the Pandora’s army special, first booked up approximately four weeks ago. See pics
here and
here.
There are four thousand points of Deathguard and four thousand points of Wood Elves being painted up right now. Amazing. I worked with Sarah2 on the wood elf prototypes until we were happy with the result.
What else? We will be doing a Luna Wolves warhound titan in the coming month. Complete with all weapon options magnetized. I’m excited about that.
As usual, I’m working on all sorts of army lists. Orcs and Goblins with two huge blocks of Black Orcs (including Grimgor Ironhide as army general). I’ve got eighty goblins already painted up. I did them for my D&D game. Those are the onerous part of an Orc army. For 40K I’ve got no current inspiration.
First things first. After seeing all this sweet kit, I want to see an Empire army come through the studio. At the end of this article I’ve got a a deal cooking…
You can see the entire Empire range here. In the last year, there have many spectacular, unheralded releases for this line. There are numerous evocative models.
Empire Greatsword Plastics $41.25 USD
This box set contains 10 multi-part plastic Empire Greatswords. This 132-piece kit includes: 13 different heads, 12 different arms wielding two-handed swords, six variant bodies, and five different sets of legs. Also included are all the pieces needed to assemble a champion, a musician and a standard bearer, and a host of additional components for customising the unit. Models supplied with 20mm square bases.
Shawn’s Comments: I haven’t seen this kit, but it seems to have quite a number of parts. This is the most expensive kit I’ve seen, at a hefty $4.15 per model. This is what is normally charged for metal figures. I don’t understand it.
Empire Archers $24.95 USD
This box set contains 10 multi-part plastic Empire Archers. This 107-piece set includes: 10 different archer bodies, 20 different heads, and all of the components needed to assemble one archer as a marksman. Also included are a range quivers, swords, arrows, pouches, and even a dead Orc with an arrow in his gut. Models supplied with 20mm square bases.
Empire Steam Tank $57.75
Steam Tanks are monstrous, smoke-belching creations that rumble towards the enemy, firing deadly cannon balls from their steam-powered guns. The advance of these iron behemoths is terrifying to behold, as arrows ricochet from armoured hulls and enemy warriors are crushed beneath their immense bulk.
This box set contains one multi-part plastic Steam Tank. This 72-piece kit includes: two variations of cannon, an Engineer with choice of three heads, a host of Empire icons, and full interior detailing. Model supplied with a 50mm x 100m base.
Shawn’s Comments: A steam tank is one of those units that is such a huge problem that it causes a panic check… in real life. It’s a Rare choice for 300 points, so it takes up a good deal of pointage. It helps anchor the Empire line– it causes Terror, is Unbreakable, and with Toughness 6, Armour Save of 1+ and TEN (yes TEN) Wounds it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Take one if you want to be mean. Take two if you want to be cruel.
Marius Leitdorf $29.75
Marius Leitdorf is known as the Mad Lord of Averland. He is sullen and morose, and given to bouts of screaming and rage. A skilled swordsman, Marius fights with two blades; a Runefang in one hand and a long-bladed dagger in the other – a style of combat he has mastered better than anyone.
This blister contains one finely-detailed, metal Marius Leitdorf. Model supplied with a 25mm x 50mm base
Shawn’s Comments: Like many models in this range, this would make a great generic Captain.
Book an Empire army for completion in August and get 35% off on your materials.
March to War Empire Special
Alternatively, we will create a 1500 pt Empire list (reasonably competitive and fun!), acquire the models, assemble and paint them, complete with magnetized movement trays for $950. Upgrade the army list to a 2000 pt list for +$250. For this deal we get to pick everything; army composition, basing and color scheme.
Pick your province for +$100. See here for the various options.
Pull the trigger for half down. I accept almost any
This is a limited time offer. Until further notice.
Not a proponent of this. But here’s something that just might blow your mind…
Out past the city limits in Eagle Point, Oregon is a dirt road leading around a bend in the river, and out of sight past a hay field on the left and copses of tall whispering trees on the right. My wife and I lived on her Grandmother’s seventy acre ranch for the summer. It was the summer after I graduated from college and Tamie was heavy with our first child. Her grandfather had died earlier that year and I was tending to the hay farm; fixing the tractor and moving pipe.
Grandma Ernie had a soft spot for cats. We counted fifty-six at one time, most of them feral types keeping to themselves under the porch or out in the woods. She would buy fifty pound bags of cat food and split them open with box knife on the back porch. Raccoons and other local animals would join in the nocturnal feast.
When Grandma Ernie passed on I imagine most of those cats died of starvation. Whole litters of kittens reduced to bones.
In unrelated news…
F-22 supporters complained the action would be a blow to long-term national defense — and cost thousands of jobs in the middle of the recession.
My humble insight: The F-22 program already costs jobs. It sucks them out of small businesses like mine. For everything that the government does visibly, it evaporates something in greater proportion invisibly. This is effected forcibly through a trio of evils: taxation, inflation, or public debt.
The difference is that in the private sector the job is created by actual demand of someone like you who chooses to buy a product or service, whilst in the government sector the job is created through other forces that may or may not be in your interest. It is done by force. How much government is good for the general welfare of the people? In my opinion it’s about one quarter what we have now*.
Blue Table Painting exists because you want painted miniatures. You are best suited to decide what your money is good for. The more local the decision, the more efficiently and wisely it will be done as a general rule.

What would it look like if the federal government lived within its means? What would you see on the news? If a president or some members of congress took a stand on staying within budget, what do you think would be said of them?
.
Mmmmm… Rachel Maddow is delicious(ly engaging). And she’s talking about the same thing.
.
*if the income tax were eliminated and replaced with nothing it would reduce the federal budget by approximately 40%. It is my opinion that the government could do everything it needs to do with that amount of revenue. Imagine for one glorious moment what that would mean: no tax returns, no revealing your money matters to a stranger every year. For my miniscule business it would mean one more person could be hired.
Notice how they don’t want to be audited. They are “warning” Congress (ie your representative up there) not to do it.
The common man cannot possibly understand all this. How much smoother things would be if we left it to our betters.

Time to get on the phone. Here is how to get contact information for your Senator (you have two):

And Congressman (your have one):

Remember, you represent all the people who didn’t call!

An Idea from the Left:

My electric shaver broke today. Well, more like “died of natural causes”. I bought it the week we arrived in Utah. How little at the time I knew the distress and joy I would experience here.
Anyway, the shaver had a cleaning station thing, that required the purchase of special solution in pairs, $25 a pop. That’s how they get you. But I just cleaned it by hand this last year. Suckers. No more solution-gouging for me!
.
Wouldn’t it be funny if that’s what burned out the shaver?
.
It was an insanely busy day. I still have three slots open for this round of Pandora. It makes me happy.
.
I am in the process of refurbishing a Tyranid army. I am adding some things to it. Those should arrive later this week.
I plan on running the Pandora special until further notice. So, hop on board when you are ready. I’m still going to do them in “runs”, like trains that depart with a small group of passengers about once a month. But you can get on whenever you like.
Pick your options and send half down. Don’t need to ask permission.
Next train departs in about a week. Then once a month after that. Approximately. You can be “seated” any time you please.
Remember, if you’ve ever had an army painted by us, you can trade it in for credit for a new one. I account for the total price you paid (not just the materials) as part of the offer. Case by case basis. More details a few posts back.
I’m becoming some kind of suburban mormon hippie. Sulking against the machine.
Dane lent me some Regina Spektor. She’s sort of a slightly happier, less abstract version of Tori Amos. Who I adore.
I picked up a desk for my home office off of freecycle. My wife found it online. So cheap and juicy! One morning, unshowered, I hopped in the car and headed down there to pick it up, my four-year old son coming along for the adventure.
I am convinced now that you can live well off the leavings of the wealthy. Of course, wealthy is a relative term. I’ve heard that by having a car, a fridge, and a toilet you’re in the top five percent. Anyone want to back that up?
Once, when my wife and I were childless and broke and working for poverty wages, we dreamed of how much money we’d like to make every month. A number that seemed at the time so high (when we were bringing home like $850 a month), more than we could possibly spend, like who could possibly even blow that amount of dough every thirty days, now doesn’t seem like that much. Of course, we were clueless as to how much it would cost to maintain four kids.
She also found three really nice dress shirts, pressed and dry cleaned, for $1.00 each at a garage sale. They are high-thread-count-tastic. I sprayed them with some of my cologne to make them my own. The human version of pissing out my territory.
Say that reminds me of a story. While tracting (door to door) on my mission in Chile (possibly the most onerous task known to man– a labor of love, be nice to them, I believe it’s good karma) we ran into this guy, who in a thick accent called his dog to introduce them to the Mormons. This pony-sized black creature trotted out and sniffed us. Then it lifted a monstrous left leg and gushed out a torrent of musky urine on our dress shoes. “Ali!” he chided (for that was the dog’s name), “bad dog, these are our guests!”. But I think I detected the edges of his lips curling upwards.
And if you made it this far without slipping into a coma, I have published two posts below that I had taken off so as not to inundate you with non-gaming stuff. But what the heck, why let them go to waste.
For those still conscious, I will tell you what I had for breakfast. A ham and egg sandwich on an english muffin with pineapple juice. Nighty night.
For you young people, keep your chin up. Life gets way better. Behind the veil your ancestors are rooting for you. And I’m rooting for you, too. I remember well the electrical storms in my mind.
