My plan for the coming weeks is to finish everything on the table off, including the suits for my tau on the back part. From now on I want to try and keep 1 project on the table at a time.
That is it for today.

Painting table Saturday #15
This week was ok. I mainly spent the week finishing priming and then base coating all the recently built models. That's the new warlord for my SM, all the bases for the 4th company, the tanks for the 4th company, the thunderhawk and the lander.

Plans for the future and a reach out for help.
I will start out with my request for help. I am looking for epic Armageddon or epic 40k space marine scouts. A bunch of them, like 13 stands worth. I have had no luck locating them and I would rather not have to use another company as subs. I would like to be able to finish off my chapter as a pure epic model one. So if you know anyone, have them yourself or whatever please drop me a line. I am willing to pay a reasonable price but not the absurd ones I keep getting offered.
Now plans wise the Space marines have been at the forefront of my thoughts along with a few other projects. I will start with the marines today and try to get some other peoples opinions. Then move on to the other projects in future posts.
First off I will need more basic bodies to fulfill my plans. I am thinking 15-20 new bodies with minimum of 10 shield set ups maybe as many as 15 for extra options and fun. The main dilemma I am having here is armor type(s). So during this long weekend I browsed yoymart to come up with some ideas.
Now my favorite armor is the good old corvus MK VI. I have always loved the look of these guys since I first started playing. I can get the boarding assault upgrades easily enough as well but then it starts getting expensive around 200 for the 20 kited out guys. Now part of the problem is I also need some other guys for fleshing out squads in general. So I am thinking what I do is buy 2 or 3 breacher squads and then 2 or 3 corvus and maybe one upgrade set. This will give me 20-30 bodies 16-18 of which will be outfitted as boarders along with a few of the old sternguard I have running around as sarges. Will still be expensive but also a decent amount cheaper in long run. It will also be something I can build up over time.
I am also debating grabbing a twin-linked plasma and lascannon set for the razorbacks, could be nice to have one running around, along with a stalker/hunter upgrade, mainly because I have a feeling I will need some anti air at one point.
Also just an interesting think I noticed while shopping on there they have added a few BFG ships, the BFG fortress and a few other odds and ends for specialist games that I don't remember seeing before.
Then of course there is this guy that keeps talking to me every time I see that website, I will give in one day and get him.
More in the future.

April Wrap up and other news worthy stuff
Wrap up
April Points: 23.75
April spending: -$21.71
April models painted: 85
total points painted: ??
Honestly for the last one I haven't been keeping track. I will need to figure it out. Not to bad of a month but not great either. I will need to step up my game on painting. Spending was fine though.
ME36
Next bit of news, is Miniature exchange 36 is a go, sign ups are open until just before May 30th, I think . I have signed up twice this time around and cant wait to see what sorts of things show up on there. So check it out.
Kickstarter
I am currently watching two kickstarters.
The first, which no one will probably be surprised by, is the Games & Gears Ichiban Studio ProLine Brushes. the one thing I don't like about this is that they have cashed in massively and have few freebies. But even more annoying is the shipping costs, more than double the cost of ordering from there website. There excuse for why no free shipping to South Korea was there is no warehouse here. I am still thinking about it but haven't decided yet.
The second one is by T.J.H. models. I would love me some asteroids and these ones look like they could be decent. I am planing on getting Advanced Goal #1. 12 asteroids should be enough for my needs here at home.
Anyone check the stuff out if your up for it.
