Productivity

Surprisingly, I've been pretty productive on the hobby front as of late. These past few days have been spent watching the Olympics and pre-season football all while filing mould lines, gluing legs to torsos, and priming Eldar. Usually I live vicariously through others while reading their army blogs, and manage to avoid working on my own armies. This was not the case this weekend.

All in all, here's what I completed:

Assembled - 12 Storm Guardians, 10 Harlequins, 6 Warlocks, 1 Farseer
Primed - 12 Storm Guardians, 5 Warlocks, 1 Farseer

I also purchased some rod to create flying bases for my Jetbikes, Swooping Hawks, and Heavy and Support Weapon Platforms. I found a drill bit size that works perfectly, and now just need a device that can cut the rod (I ruined my clippers trying them on it). Using this rod will allow me to make use of all the cool resin bases I ordered specifically for this army.

The only downside to the work I did over the weekend is that it is going to make moving (which I am doing near the end of the month) just that much more difficult, as the models are no longer able to fit in their nice flat storage organizers. Oh well, maybe I just need to hurry up and make my new army transport/storage boxes similar to the one below:



These have a metal bottom that allows your magnetized bases to stay put while being stored away. I'm planning on getting a few square bins that I will do something similar to--which will also decrease the amount of dust that accumulates on the models when they sit out.

Here's to hoping that this type of productivity continues!
