Bipolar motivation gremlins...

     Well, it's happened. My biploar motivational gremlin has hit an upswing. He's gone manic, which bodes well for the piles of unpainted minis on my hobby table.I've decided to start with the minis I field the most, so over the course of the last couple nights, I've taken my full unit of Ravagers, the UA Chieftain, Kromac (human and beast form) and my White Mane, from primed or bare metal to all primed with axe heads, flesh base and green armor details painted. It's not a ton, but it is 10 models, and it is a start. They are well on their way to a tabletop-quality paint job. Until next time...

McFeely always sounded so dirty...

    I arrived home for lunch today and was greeted by a large cardboard box.
     Hello, it seemed to say to me. See what wonders I hold for you...
     So, of course, I obliged this, the talking box, and cut the tape oh so gently to reveal...
     My Celestial Fulcrum! It has been delivered. Sweet! I know what I'm doing tomorrow while I'm off work. Thank you Mr. Postman! I love getting boxes in the mail.

We built this city...

     In a couple of weeks I ding again in this crazy mmo we call life. Pursuant to that, we've been receiving packages at the house that my wife squirrels away in her side of our Gimondo Closet of Doom®. Recently, however, she surprised me with one a bit early. I think in part because she was just as excited about it as I was once I figured out what it was. And more than likely due (I'd bet mostly) to the fact that I was the one who checked the mail and brought the box in. The box with the very large print on the shipping label. The very large print on the shipping label that said, "Wyrd Miniatures" as depicted to the left.
     Heck, I can almost make out the word in that tiny pic without clicking on it to zoom in. So yeah, the sender did somewhat give away the contents, but honestly, I was still surprised as I wasn't expecting this one at all.

Not Kudus, KUDOS!

     Seems like great customer service experiences are so few and far between these days that when one comes along, I feel like it should be celebrated. Consider this post to be part rant, part review and part kudo. Is that the word? When one gives praise, it's referred to as giving kudos but is the singular term kudo, or like deer and sheep is the plural form the same word? Who knows.
Enough digression...

Grape Ape grab bag...

     First up, Colossals. I'm excited. The scuttlebutt and speculation around the interwebs and the circle forums seem to point towards the druids fielding a massive wold named the woldwrath. As a pBaldur player and fan of the constructs in general, I've gotta say I'm eagerly awaiting any and all forthcoming info from Privateer regarding these new models. The pic I've seen circulating about the woldwrath shows basically a massive stone construct in a gorilla stance. If this is the case, my army of awesome beasts will be nearing completion. Brun and Lug provide the bear. Blindwater has the gators and octopus/squid thing covered. Circle will have the concrete gorilla and all I'll be missing is the shark. Gotta find a way to get a skorne basilisk to work for my army...
