Still slaving away at my Golden Demon entries. Got the 40k Single entry nearly finished, at which point I'll probably spiff up some Wood Elf units/characters for entry in other categories. I'll never get the new ones finished on time :-D The other categories are still up in the air though, I have way more single figs finished than I can enter, and I don't know which 40k Squad I will be able to get done on time. Hopefully I'll be able to enter something, 40k's so much fun for painting contests. Lots of freedom....

After a marathon painting session this evening, my tongue's turned a lovely shade of green/brown/black. I'm a proud brushlicker, and I did a lot of work tonight :-D My main entry for GD Toronto (which will be revealed in a few days when it's finished) is probably about half done at this point. The scenic base is done, the skin, nails/teeth, and some of the cloth is done too. Not bad at all for a single day's work. I'm hoping he'll be done by Thursday night. I usually don't make deadlines I post on blogs, but since I leave next Wednesday morning I kinda have to now!...

Yep, I've broken 5 bloody drill bits in about 10 days I reckon. I've pretty much reduced myself to a handful of drill bits the width of a human hair, and another handful that are way too big to be useful. Lovely huh? Oh, and I've got several throbbing puncture wounds in my left hand as well. The last one dug in about 8mm I would imagine. I do have a pic to show off though, my alt color scheme Canoness. The HQ will have the all-metal look to them, and if I get super lazy then all the rank and file will get this color scheme as well. It'll take a fraction of the time if I do it that way....

First off, I just noticed the other day that my blog has quickly become the #2 most visited blog on Coolminiornot. Thanks to everyone who has emailed, commented, and PM'ed me over the last few months. It's great to have people following and supporting my efforts. 

After a lot of hours cutting, drilling, pinning and gluing I think I'm just about ready to prime the rest of my initial 1000 points or so worth of Sisters of Battle minis. The Exorcist and a handful of older minis are still in various stages of completion of course. Here's a buttload of pics of the work so far, I really like the way the bases have turned out, and the weapon swaps are a huge pain in the ass, but they saved me a lot of money! :-D...

I'm really having some fun converting and placing these Sisters of Battle on urban rubble style bases. It's the same basic plan as the Blood Ravens bases: cork for concrete, help from the bitz box and plasticard for making fallen beams, pipes and lots of tank accessory bitz for random junk on the ground.

I'm really liking them so far, and I haven't even added the sand or the spent shell casings on the ground yet (1.2mm plastic rod chopped up to approximately bolter shell size). It's a pretty laborious process, but the result should be a pretty spiffy looking army of Sisters. I'm looking at about 75 models total if I paint everything I own... and I probably need to buy about 10 assorted models to get more flamers, meltas and heavy bolters. I'm estimating 2k territory for the finished army....
