Best Christmas present ever!

I've been painting since about 1998, traditionally a lot of 40k stuff but lately I've been doing a lot of work with Fantasy and the odd little side project here and there. I don't game as much as I'd like, and I don't paint as much as I'd like either... but I make up for this by purchasing way more models than I ought to!

I make an effort to try new things once in a while, and every once in a while I'll actually finish something. My current project is the Warriors of Chaos, it's an attempt at doing a 2,000pt army in under 6 weeks for the Fracas tournament here in Edmonton. A $100 ticket should give me motivation to get my army done on time, I would love some tournament trophies to add to my painting awards :-) After that, who knows what I'll be up to!

This is my current photo setup, 3 full spectrum fluorescent lights and a blue-white gradient background. I have the materials for a light tent proper, but I haven't bothered to make one yet. This setup provides plenty of light, great shadow reduction and with the sheer amount of light I don't need a tripod for the macro shots. Maybe when I have more free time (Christmas break perhaps) I'll try out the more "professional" lighting rig.
The work so far, most of the units are finished or nearly finished, with the exception of the Eternal Guard which were sprayed black very recently.
Why, oh why, do they have to read my mind and make me want to spend a ton of money that I really shouldn't spend?
