Annie's Vivacious Vampire Counts

[Annie]

Ah dafruk Dave! Hello! So are you OG Norf or too Norf for that? OG Scotland? I'm OG west... the only one of my kind :-(

On with the hobby! Hobby day til about 3pm today... what shall I dooo...

Well the ghouls are all magneted. The skellies need some trimming. Then.... ooh... maybe... everything will be done! wow!

I don't know what to do with my knights..... I have 3 boxes of these new ones which look nice and I was going to chop my "old" knights into hex wraiths somehow... but.. when I got my knights out for slaughter I realised I really do like them *Cries* But theres only 8 that look really good, the other 2 are a bit meh with the older brets, and another 2 were painted in sheffield travellodge....

I just think they deserve a really good paintng so I will try not to rush them, I'd like to get the under painted though so I can at least put them on bases.. AND MAGNETISE!

I might start on this here mortis engine today then as well :-)

Better get cracking!

[cunningmatt]

Good luck, we look forward to the updates!

[Dave]

Hmm, I'm probably not officially OG anything, more like friend of OG, or FOG as it shall now be known.  I am a f'ogger...  Realise you probably know me from twitter, as you're one of many I cyber stalk!

Simple answer on the black knights, use 2 units of knights!  What about using the old ones as blood knights and the new ones as black, or t'other way round?

Have you slowed down the thrusting of your avatar, or is it just my computer, was scarily fast before.

I have noticed this "problem" too.

[fatolaf]

I rather liked it fast

Well thi has took a turn for the worse!

So it turns out sitting at a desk hunched over for endless hours f*cks up your back! I've been in agony for about a week, so hobby has been off the menu, as has everything else, I am dying of boredom!

I had a go at the weekend, I bought my tubs to complete the magnet plan.... it worked!

The picture is blurry, but basically, I can fit 3 infantry trays in my multicase bag, or a deep one (cav. monsters etc) with 1 infantry.



I metal sheeted the bottom of the box, and as I magnetised the bottom of my move trays, this can happen.



Raar!

So I've mostly been crocheting, as it hurts to do anything else. Heres a WIP, as well as a sneaky look at my highly girly bedroom


theres a few WIP, but I managed to finish a whole one yesterday for a wood elf army :-)



Hope that was highly exciting for you all.

I have the exact same problem with my back, i use a massive floor pillow as a support now, which helps a lot...

[Toast]

Ouch, sorry to hear about the back.  I sometimes kneel on the floor for a half hour while painting at my desk, which seems to help.

Praying to Khorne??

[Dave]

have you got a shelf at the right height to paint standing up? I've heard that is actually a fantastic way of getting round back problems and once you get used to it really comfortable.
