New Skaven Army Book

The thing that always has drawn me to Warhammer Fantasy has been the oddball contraptions various armies get. Chaos Dwarves, Orcs and Gobbs, and especially Skaven all had great war machines. With the release of the new Skaven book it seems like there are more great Skaven weapons of mutual destruction then ever before. I put a very quick review on the TMP: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=182489

Back to normal, Almost

Ok, after PT, my back is getting better. I can actually sit and do stuff and walk and do stuff. Of course, I'm behind in my work so that takes priority. None-the-less, I have an interesting scratch build wet navy ship for 28mm. It is not finished as it will be a Nurgle Plague ship, but it was in perfect shape for my Dark Heresy game. The team had a mission on a feudal world which involved some combat at sea. Picture a small river steamer vs. a larger wooden galleon. The players were on the steamer with las-pistols and the galleon had a mortar. If I can get a camera, I’ll get some pictures.

Bad Back

Well,

Life has been put on hold due to a back. Normally, all I need is a weekend's worth of rest and some stretches and I'm back to my self-sufficient self. Well, its been 3 weeks now of pain with multiple doctors visits and no relief in sight. Argh. I can plot vicious campaign elements for my Dark Heresy game but no painting has gotten done. As if I wasn't slow before. Double Argh...
