If you read past blog posts, there are a lot of good deals and specials going. As follows:

There are four armies on the block. Here are the prices for this week, until May 25:

.
Oceanic Eldar $1700 (buy it this week and get a matching Aeronautica Imperialis squadron of five forge world models)
Lizardmen $1200
Heru Sky Raiders $950
Space Wolves $250
Dark Elves $1450

.

I have some Bretonnians that are 90% off if you commission them, 50% off if you just want to buy them.

.

I have been taking stock at the studio and I have various bins full of goodies; unpainted figures mostly new in box/sprue. Warriors of Chaos, Lord of the Rings, Space Marines, and Bretonnians are the principle actors..If you are interested in commissioning at least half of the Warriors of Chaos (pretty sure at least enough here for two armies) you get the materials at half off. Total retail value here is $626..Unit Name QTY
Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (2008 release) 2
Harry the Hammer Limited Edition 1
Lord of Nurgle on steed 2
Lord of Tzeentch on disc 1

PS- I am on the hunt for an Ultraforge vulture demon.

I was up and ready to go at 5:30am and so I started answering emails. I am completely on top of them, answering each one as it comes in. That’s how it should be. A goal I set some months back.

I arrived before Sarah this morning, an oddity. She was wearing her nerdly glasses on account of an irritated eye (from contact lenses?). We caught up on weekend events, got the place in order, and did a Morning Show.

.

The weather got up into the 90s, way too hot for my taste, the first inkling of summer.

My wife came by with lunch (roast beef sandwiches, chips and hummus). I took Griffin across the street to the corner store for some candy. He loves to ride on my shoulders and says hi to everyone. He’s king of the world up there.

.

I am currently booking projects for June. Now is the time, folks!

.

There are four armies on the block. Here are the prices for this week, until May 25:

Oceanic Eldar $1700

Lizardmen $1200

Heru Sky Raiders $950

Space Wolves $250

Dark Elves $1450

.

I don’t normally like to part with my armies, nor put them on the block for less than a decent price, but it’s time to clear out and catch up on some bills!

.

I also have some slots open still for the Imperial Guard and Tank specials (see below).

Saturday night I collapsed from complete exhaustion and slept soundly through the night.

I like Sunday because I don’t do any work. It allows me to get away from the constant thrum of business concerns and focus on family and spiritual matters. And to read books (including army books!). As I mentioned, I have sworn off financial/political stuff for the rest of May. That has been harder than I thought. I realized how much politics I consume every day: probably two to four hours a day of books, TV, radio, internet (articles and video); with no stripe omitted (conservative, liberal, libertarian and even conspiracy theory stuff).

.

I’ve been reading General Conference and some stuff by S. W. Kimball. I am also picking my way through C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra (third read– feels like the first), and a book of Aesop’s fables.

I’ve been working on a few articles for the blog about religion (temples and cosmic stuff). But I don’t think anything is going to come of it. If at least three people request it, I’ll put the rough draft up here later.

.

I have had a profound personal transformation for the better recently. I can’t get into too any details, but it’s significantly changed my outlook.

.

I got two of the kids ready for church in like five minutes; Kenna and Griffin came with me and we claimed our pew. Griffin was crawling all over me, literally up on my shoulders and almost upside down. So, we went out for a walk about halfway through. The baby and other son arrived later. My wife’s hair looked different and I liked it a lot, commenting about how great it looked on her, but she explained that it was not washed nor treated in any way, just thrown together. Well, she cleans up well. Isn’t that how that works.

.

Joseph’s family was out of town so we had him over to dinner; corn on the cob, beef, artichokes, tamales, guacamole, washed down with crushed ice and home-squeezed lemonade. We played Magic until it was two hours past the kids bedtimes. My wife had fallen asleep in the other room.

So I got the kids to bed and laid to rest for the new week.

Here’s the list for the Bone Knights.

Check out these two Chaos Lords.

I think this would be a great color scheme for a Chaos Space Marine army, too.

Remember, we have a Warriors of Chaos army on the block
