Necron-Metalman-Teminator Goodness

Ok, so I'm back into WH40K in a big way.  I have the beginnings of a decent Space Marines force, an Eldar Battleforce (still in the box) and now...  There is Necron goodness...




I am totally digging on painting these guys.  First, I have always really loved Necrons.  Second, the new codex and new minis are a joy to behold (except for the FineCrap minis... different rant).

My forces are going to be basic black with Copper and Blue highlights.  These guys were dry-brushed with copper and highlighted with three different shades of blue.  I also am going to replace the ghastly green weapon barrels with a far more sedate blue acrylic version.

It's so nice to be back into 40k!!

Tonight, my iPad cries.



Wow, what can you say about a man who's vision and drive really did change the world.

 

RIP Steve!  More later when I can gather my thoughts.

Top Gun Day! Osama Dead Laden et al

Yep, 25 years ago today, the movie came out.  Joy of joys, huh?  What a great flick (at the time).  Watching it now reminds me of how campy it really was.  Kind of like Red Dawn!  Still, it's a fun movie to watch, even now.

It's also Friday the 13th.  My favorite day, always been good to me!

So, Osama bin Laden... dead?  Maybe...  Here is one for you conspiracy nuts.

If we captured him alive and told the world about it, we would have to keep him in a glass cage so everyone could see how well he was treated and 3,247 lawyers from around the world would make up his defense team.  22 years from now a jury might be able to convict him for shoplifting at the Allah-Mart in Riyadh.

But... if we took him alive but told everyone that we double-tapped him in the head, buried him at sea and gave him all the proper muslim rites, nobody could be the wiser.  So, hopefully, he is rotting in some cell at a secret CIA torture house and being pumped for info.  If nothing else, lets get his bank account passwords :)

All I know is this, people are making too much about Pres. Obama, and Hillary and the picture of her being shocked.  Let it go folks, you weren't there (unless you were there...) and you don't know.  The President and his team made a great call to go forward with a very touchy mission and the US Military did their normal Shit-Hot job of making it happen.  A big toast to everyone from the President on down to the little Airman 1st class that made it happen!
