It's hard to believe that I only started in this hobby about 8 months ago.
Between then and now I've managed to get a decent 2000 point army that I can play with and enjoy painted and based -- which is good, because it allows me a little more freedom in that I don't have to be painting models because I need to add them to my army right away. That's why I'm not seriously concerned about not working on the terminator librarian at the moment because while using him is part of a larger plan, he's not necessary right now, so I can take my time with him, and I'm hoping the end result will show that.
Anyway, I was looking around my home office and I noticed that I have quite a few models staring at me from my shelves.
A Whirlwind. A Predator. A tac squad. An assault terminator squad. A few other things. We won't get into the other army I've been gathering models for, because it's going to be a pretty major undertaking to get it ready (I call it my "volunteer chaos" army...it's almost 100% composed of models I bought off Ebay or from other gamers...I seriously don't even have an overall plan for it yet...).
However, looking at all that virgin plastic I've decided that I'm not going to buy any new models until all the new ones I have now are done.
Unless, of course, the new space marine models -- such as the tasty, tasty Sternguard -- are released before I finish the models I have now (Are you with me? Do you honestly think I can resist those models? Can you??).
What this does mean is that I have quite a bit of "utilitarian" painting ahead of me. By that I mean I'm not going to lavish huge amounts of time on a tac squad -- and my airbrush makes pretty short work of vehicles.
So that leaves the assault termies...I really want to make them look good, particularly the lightning claws.
Which means I'm going to also need to get that terminator chaplain to go with them.
Oops.
I might have to renege on that decision sooner than I thought...
