So I woke up early again and probably got a solid 5 hours sleep. Rather than try to get back to sleep, I decided "fuck it" I'll get up, go to work and see how I do ( Read more... )

I am still struggling with my energy levels and focus. My ability to lock onto any one thing for hours on end appears to be shot ( Read more... )

....that you get in life from time to time. I don't think it is just me that gets this from time to time. That odd sensation in your head and heart which feels like something has gone and you don't know what it is or where it is gone. Or why.

As I was prepping I made a few ( Read more... )

There has been something of a pause on the ole dreadnought. Since the last update I've completed a landraider, 10 Grey Knights, some more Deathwing, started a Genestealer and even fitted in an Ultramarine tutorial. So what the hell has been going on?

Basically after the last update I wasn't happy. I was pursuing my tried and tested bone colour ( Read more... )

Ron put up an interesting post on FTW earlier this week about his favourite Space Marine paint schemes: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-top-five-favorite-paint-schemes.html
