A thing I've wanted since maybe 1987
There is one in my basement
She lists like a Dornish lass with a vial of poison and a fever, but... She's here!
I christen her THE HIVE

Craftsy Stuff for The Emperor
at Michael's today to pick up a hot-wire foam cutter, there's like a steampunk section with gears and skulls and pocket watches. also, some interesting alcohol inks and weathering stuff - something called a soot weathering kit, which would probably be pretty fun to mess around with.
Anyway, Michaels. pretty cool angel wing beads, for some hot Valkyrie Sister action

Bless Your Weapons And Flame THIS Area: Old Camera Rig for Shooting Minis
My once-slick Canon has been languishing since I got back into painting figs. Also, having my high-definition video camera/still digital camera in my pocket all the time sort of precludes dicking around with a 10 pound/1700 dollar chunk of accident-waiting-to-happen. But I figure with people like Adam W. putting stuff up over at Kickassistan about his WIP I ought to let my DSLR and my freak flag out for a breath of fresh air, also.
What follows is just a basic test of the set-up, and right now, believe it or not I'm using a dead man's walker as a tripod, which is maybe pretty unwise but it's relatively stable and unlikely to break my rig and all the chunky gizmos attached. A dead man's walker. I hope it's not cursed.
Maybe I will document my sadly-never-finished Dark Angels successor chapter, ostensibly members of the Guardians of the Covenant.
Here is Brother Renfrew, hooded Templar-Sergeant of the Nox Betelgeuse Monastery, about to be taken apart by some xeno scum. As you can see, the system needs a little twerking, but I think it's going to be nice, once it's all together. I think it's going to need some pictures of Dresden in the background, or maybe some shots of a castle in Alsace-Lorraine or somesuch. It could be the depth of field is a little too low, here. Anyways, catch you later, heretic!

Wayne's Scratchbuilt Table
In addition to hanging out at WayneCon a couple of weeks ago and meeting generally amazing people and playing, for example, Metamorphosis Alpha, I got to see Wayne's slicker-than-a-ratsnake homebrew DIY Necromunda board.
Check this shiznit out - you'll like it. Sorry about the beer-soaked iPhone photos. I think it was on account of all the Night Gaunt and sleep deprivation.
