Stuff here and there...

A few different things tonight, sort of a head clearer for now...

A while back I mentioned my Dark Elves, 5 months later I finally got around to priming the models... whoops. They are now sitting on my desk, and Im actually planning on moving ahead with them very soon (either tomorrow or the next day). Still not entirely sure of the paint scheme, though I do know I want a dark metal look to them, so Ill be giving them a coat of darkened BG metal, followed by a wash or two of black. Im mainly trying to decide between red and blue for the cloth areas...

This week starts the TTT over at FtW, gonna be kinda quiet on my ol' blog, and to be honest, Im expecting my traffic to drop significantly. So, what is the future of OtPT? More of my random ramblings I think. But I will still be here. :)

Ive been thinking about what, if anything, I wanted to change about the TTT. I considered sticking to just 40k stuff, and I thought about limiting it to painting and modelling posts. Both ideas got shot down real quick. I was also trying to decide if I should stop posting stuff from the others who post at FtW, since the list will be hosted there... I said screw that idea. No reason to penalize them just for where they post their good stuff. As of right now, the only things that automatically get ignored for the list is stuff thats obviously offensive, and my own stuff. Yes, I know Id be biased towards my own stuff, so I dont even let it in... not that Ive had much thats TTT worthy posted yet. ;)

In the end, there was one idea I had that I am still fighting over. Do I start the numbering over at #1, or do I continue the numbers at #28? Personally, Im leaning towards continuing the numbering, as it shows there is continuity, and this is not something new (for the new readers) and that this is the TTT you know and love (for the previous readers).

The Black Legion is still up on the shelf, fighting for space with The Purge. The unfinished BL models are ranked up on the table itself, along with a platoon of Cadians. The IG have their green done, and Ive got the black mostly done on one squad, gonna finish them off before moving onto the next, I think. The Dark Elves complete the mess in front, and I think most of them will be shoved aside to make room, so that I can actually paint. Im thinking the BL will be boxed up again, so I can make room for the Red Scorpions again, Ive had the urge to paint Imperial Space Marines again...

Ive been looking at my Tomb Kings book again, and if Mikie and I can actually get a game in, I might have to run them, seeing as he has a good number of Skaven now... Ive been sorta "wish-listing" their book lately, maybe Ill put that up later on...

Keep the numbers going mate. Maybe it'll pull in a couple readers as they look for the first 20 or so. :)
