And so it begins...

It all started with a friendly little e*mail exchange (cause someone doesn’t have enough work to do during their day) back and forth between an old college chum and I, discussing some major life impacting issues.. our Space Marine forces.

We both whined and complained a bit on how little we get done, and how we easily spend more time converting the little blighters, then ever actually getting them painted (the guy to my left being one of a rare select few). We lacked the inspiration to really dive in and get it done and after a comment wishing that we lived closer (and could then inspire each other), the blog challenge was issued and accepted!

So, the plan is to work on similar squads/vehicles during a time period and get ‘em done – sans bitchin and moanin :)

We’ll be starting with a standard tactical squad (I’m guessing 10 guys) and then new challenges will be issues – and maybe all this will see us through to actually having a finished Space Marine force by the end:P

My biggest issues are going to be learning to photograph the metallics so you can actually see the mini, and not making da Todfatha look bad by upstaging him too much :P


Seems that I am going to be getting more then I bargained for;P
