A very belated happy new year to you all!

Before you ask or you don't: I've had a crazy busy first half of January, a very conservative New Year's Eve, a quite relaxed Christmas Season, and that's enough in terms of irrelevant catchup stuff. Time to get back to hobby work.

So, what am I working on right now? On the Deepstrike Radio Custodes 2011 Motivational Challange, that's what. My effort for the challange will be a combination of work on my existing and ever-expanding Star Phantoms (Codex: Space Marines) force- or whatever I'll call them soon because FW ruined my chapter (more on that later on... maybe.), and my upcoming Emperor's Children (Codex: CSM) army.

For January, I'll keep it stupid and simple. 5 Noise Marines without the sonic weapons as a color scheme assembly lining test, mostly made out of parts not quite good enough for the sonic-armed ones to come. If they come out well in the end, I might use them as fillers whenerver I need to boost my model count, because in the initial 1000 pts. list, there's no such thing as a bolter.
Now, my girl left for Vienna last morning. Gave me a boost to prep some models for painting right away, also for the fact that my metal shoulderpads were finally delivered yesterday. I'll have 7-10 days of no cooking, household work, and daily rituals after all... so much more hobby time. So I did just that, and then realized that she took our camera with her. Obviously.

That means you'll get my next few progress pics shot with my laptop's crappy webcam. Enjoy.

That's it for now. Despite all the shortcomings and the fact that I'm quite late, I think it's a good start into a new hobby year with new hobby-related resolutions. (Again: More on that later. Again: maybe.)

Cheers and thanks for sticking around,
