Time to dive in again!

P210

Haven't been doing much in Warhammer for months now. Got busy working and hunting and now training a gun dog. But, damn I miss 40k terrain, painting fantastic warhammer armies, and playing epic battles. So, decided to kick start myself and went out and bought the new The Empire army book and How to Paint Citadel Miniatures guide. Gonna be great getting started again.

Beyond Warhammer -- I love David Weber's Honor Harrington Series!

I love space opera, and nobody does it better than David Weber. His series on Honor Harrington is superb, and has kept me on edge for years. Tomorrow, his next volume comes out and I can't wait! Don't know how or where I'll get a copy because I'll be traveling this week, but I've got to try!

This multi-volume tail is not as dark as the Heresy and probably a bit better written than most Warhammer novels (excepting Abnett, McNiel, and a couple others). But, you have truly epic conflicts highlighting massive space battles that are just brilliantly presented. I love every book!

Inara's training fine -- and safely!

So, we're coming to the close of our first month with Inara. She'll be 12 weeks tomorrow. She's wonderful to be with and she's already sleeping through the night for us. So, I get 7 hours of sleep and then have a good reason to get up at 5:30 and get my day going! Check out pictures at Pictures of Labradors!

I've also put together a nice Squidoo lens on Puppy Safety. You can see my philosophy on how I'm going to keep my puppy safe and flourishing. And there's stuff to buy, too!

40k Terrain Texture

Cities_of_death_209

I get questions on 40k Terrain from my readers pretty often, even though I haven't been posting much the past six months (that's about to change.) I've got no idea how they get my email, but for those industrious enough, I really like answering the questions. Here's an answer on doing texture on 40k Terrain.
