So its been a long time since I was actively, or even passively, using this blog. I figure I might as well repurpose it a bit and see if I get more use out of it.
I am going to try to track some daily efforts of mine, and we’ll see how exactly it goes.
Miniature Works:
In production: 10 Sisters of Battle, standard squad. 5 Ork Boyz.
On Deck: a dozen or so miscellaneous reaper miniatures that may or may not be finished next.
In assembly: Two Rhinos which will be used to gloriously transport a squad of sisters each into battle.
To be done: Another batch of plaster molds has to get done. I need more tiles assembled.
In the void: 40 additional Sisters of Battle, a box full of two sets of Assault on Black Reach Orks, an Eldar Army still in the box, about 30-50 unopened reaper miniatures, a dozen miniatures in various stages of assembly/painting that are being ignored.
Working on the Sisters, I’ve again discovered that I have nothing but terrible brushes. Many of them are years old, fraying, or were purchased hastily and are not suitable for what I am doing. It makes detail work a pain, and even just getting base coats down is proving to be a frustrating experience. I’m hoping that in 4 weeks I will have all of my sisters painted and ready to go, and be able to field 1000-1500 points. I know that I can get there with a Cannoness, 4 kitted Sister squads in rhinos, a Seraphim squad and a pack of Retributors. My trouble usually stems from the idea that most of the time, I get stuck in. Frequently I’m against fast moving swarms of enemies, and the sisters are not particularly mobile, but they are extremely shooty and template happy. I’ll play a few games with the two rhinos and see how I like the added mobility/cumbersome middle of the board deployment issues against a fast moving swarm.
Writing:
Minor rules adjustments tracked/corrected. Nothing major.
Exercise:
Restarting the P90X program. Today is Tuesday, and that means doing Plyometrics. Did it solid for a week, then dropped it as I went to my cabin, only fitting to restart it again now that I’m back and settled, and I have weights.
Job Hunt:
Sent out 3 resumes today, all of them good matches to my skill set. No replies back from any previous efforts.
Aiming for 3-5 applications out per day. Something has to bite eventually.
