In other news, some of you may have noticed I swapped to the truncated rss feed (that I really do hate).

As you can tell, the Top Ten has returned! I decided to restart the numbering, because I could, and because Im thinking of this as a new start. So, tell everyone you can, the Top Ten by Ryan has returned!

Top Ten Hiatus

I am pretty sure this is coming as a surprise to no one, but the Top Ten is going on hiatus for at least a month. I have been having a hard time getting motivated to do it, and I will be going on vacation in the middle of the month. Hopefully the time away will get me motivated.

-Ryan

Tuesday Top Ten #121 - Belated

Thought I forgot? Nope. Life just decided to screw around with me yesterday, and Ill be damned if I miss two weeks in a row.

First, lets get the word out about Heroes of Armageddon. Four days left, go throw money at a great cause! You might win one of the big prizes!

For the past few weeks Ive been on a Warmachine and Hordes (WarmaHordes) kick, the fruits of which will be here soon... However, for today, I decided on a theme.

Tuesday Top Ten #120

Remember how I mentioned that last week had almost 50 entries? That was not an invitation for everyone to put in their "A Game" this week. And yet, you did. From an initial, record breaking 54 entries, I have managed to cut down to 10 and one extra. First, the extra:

There is a Battle Foam model carry case that has been to battle and back, and is looking for a good home. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors Charity. Dont wait for Veteran's Day to support your Veterans.

1. Lamenter is working on an Art Scale Talos of the Night Lords....

2. ...while CVinton has his own take on Talos.

5. Ghoulio shows off a pair of cool Haemonculi.

6. Owen's Drake McBain is very well done!

7. Several models from War of the Rings, by Kevin.

8. I dont know what PsychosisPC was eating before bed to inspire him to create this Spawn, but Im thinking we need to chip in and get him some more of it.

9. Cadaver shows us an interesting Flesh Tearers Librarian.

10. Lastly, a Defiler Bonejack from Kerry.

Lets get a round of (internet) applause for this week's entries, and I DARE you all to give me even more entries next week!!! ;)

Tuesday Top Ten #119 Space Marine Supplemental

2. DezartFox shows off Marnius Calgar and Honor Guard.

3. Red's Red Scorpions Drop Pod is pretty dang cool!

Tuesday Top Ten #119

This week was epic in the number of entries. Id tagged almost 50, and I know if Id done my search like I used to do back in the day, Id likely double that number. Do you know how much of a pain it is to have 50 choices and have to cut it down to 10? Not much of a pain at all, or I would have quit long ago! Hehehe!
