Warhammer 40,000 Tabletop
A few months ago Head Rush posted that he had a bunch of old 40k stuff stored at his parents' house that he hadn't touched in years and offered it up. I pounced, and he said that the next time he visited them he'd box it up and ship it my way. That time was Friday the 6th, which of course was the day before we left for vacation. So now I present to you the kindness of strangers...who wouldn't even allow me to pay for shipping!

I feel that everyone should know that our dear wadmaasi will be putting the Space Marines and Dark Eldar in plastic bags, which will go into a box to collect dust and never be used in an actual army, instead of selling them to his good friend at a competitive rate who will actual use them in battle against him.

I'd taken a quick peek inside the box before we left, but that glimpse did no justice to the sheer amount of stuff that was crammed inside. I kept pulling out rank upon rank of gretchin and, even though I have no interest in collecting/playing Orks (too many models to paint!), my grin kept getting wider and wider.

This is the second time I've been the recipient of awesome Shacker 40k hand-me-downs. finestaut sent me a bunch of Tau stuff awhile back:

There was a local tournament this weekend (the NOVA Open) and someone took some shots of their favorite armies on display boards. Some of these are pretty damn sweet:

That's a nice little score! I see the old trees are already brown and green on the sprue! That's pretty nice if you want quick and easy. The new ones need to be painted.
I usually get a bit of modeling work done while watching golf on the weekends, but this tournament was pretty dramatic and fun to watch, a lot more so than watching the grass grow, so I didn't get a whole lot done on my Orks.
That didn't stop me from ordering some more plastic (SM Tac squad and some terrain bits) and a Book of Tau though. So I'll be able to follow along with the next batrep much better, as I'll know my broadsides from my crisis suits and all their wargear.
