07/22/2010 – Undecisive

I spent most of today not knowing what to do with myself. I felt restless, yet too tired and/or lazy to actually do anything.

Instead of using that energy to clean out my hobby room (well, it’s still the guest room until I clean it out, and set up tables, curtains, etc..) I ended up opting to paint a few Kroot (only 6 or so left!) and watch Attack of the Show, whilst eating dinner, before heading to work.

I’m writing this about.. 15 minutes before I’ve got to go to work, so I can’t tell you if it was a good work night or not.

But let’s just assume that since my boss won’t arrive ’til 9 (and thus I’ll be there ’til 2 AM at the earliest, most likely) it’s not going to be the /best/ night… but hopefully not a bad one?

Oh, and I submitted an order to MiniWarGaming.com (not a plug, don’t know if they’re any good yet! ;)) for some more 40k miniatures and supplies (and the core rule book) since I’m nearly out of paintable Kroot, so you’ll see photos pertaining to those when they arrive.

07/21/2010 – The Best Medicine

Worked all day, felt sick to my stomach and had a headache for the first 8 or so hours of the day. (So most of the time I was at work.)

Felt better around 4, 4:30, luckily just in time to do the hard part of my Wednesday shift, which is bringing in all the display stock from outside, amidst the full fury of the sun pouring right onto the storefront.

Either way, I felt better when I got home and ate dinner, but since my Mom wasn’t feeling well either, me and my dad spent a good portion of the evening (6 – 9) sitting with her while just talking, since she was suffering from vertigo.

And of course I forgot to take a photo until just before I went to bed (around 2/3AM. >.>) so I ended up snapping a quick shot of me watching a video on YouTube, detaliing how to play Warhammer 40k.

07/20/2010 – Laze Day

Today was a laze day. I tried not to expend much energy, simply because I didn’t have much in the first place.

Yesterday I ended up sleeping in until 2PM, and getting a total of 13ish hours of sleep. That being the case, last night I tried to go to bed just after 1AM, but just laid in bed awake until 6AM, even though I got up a few times to try and get sleepier.

I finally fell asleep at around 6AM, and got up at 11AM. I want desperately to sleep well tonight (since I’ve got to be up at 8ish tomorrow to get ready for work!) so I’m trying to just keep a lazy/sleepy mood/aura going all day.

Anyhoo, I spent the majority of my day assembling (and priming, though that’s not pictured) my Kroot Carnivores, and hope to paint ‘em sometime this week.

I also finally (although probably not finally) chose a colour scheme for my future Tau army, which will be shown off in some pictures down the line, after I A) Acquire the army. B) Assemble the army. C) Prime and base the army. D) Paint the army… wow that seems like too much work. >.>

Anyhoo, I’m loving the assembling, painting, basing, etc of my miniatures, and am looking forward to getting more than just Kroot to assemble/paint, as well as playing the actual game…

But boy, it is /expensive./

I thought Magic was bad (and maybe it’s worse, since I seem to spend at least $200 every time a new set comes out, which is every 3 months now…) but Warhammer seems ridiculous. To get the paints and models I want (just the Tau Battleforce, some paints, flock, and the core rule book) is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

But at least it gives me something to do. ;)

07/19/2010 – Weathered

I didn’t wake up until after 2PM today (closer to 2:30 I suppose) and immediately realized I wasn’t feeling all that well. I figured I could probably go to work anyway, but just felt drained of energy, and realized I had slept for over 12 hours.

Anyhoo, I spent most of the day just working on some Kroot models and researching 40k-related stuff online, as well as doing a bit of work on a laptop I’m in the midst of fixing.

In the end I didn’t end up going to work, but I didn’t do much at home after not going, either. Played maybe an hour tops of Modern Warfare 2 with Ben, and then pretty much got ready to call it a night. I was just about to head to bed, when I realized I hadn’t yet posted my daily photo!

So here it is.

In the picture, you can see my 5 painted/based Kroot (although one doesn’t have the exact same paint scheme, and still needs touchups, etc) and a few more assembled yet unprimed Kroot.

You can also see a multitude of Kroot torsos and legs that have been glued, and I’m currently in the midst of gluing some guns/arms to torsos, and will soon start on heads and then bases.

I’ve also been working on modifying one of my Kroot to be used as a Shaper, so when he’s done I’ll probably end up posting a few photos of the model before priming, and then when painted… but expect those at a much later date.
