Games Day '08
Back from Games Day Chicago this year. I had a lot of fun, hanging out with Team North America, along with sharing the space with Team Montreal. I slaved long and hard painting on stuff prior to the event, only to get a single entry completed. Boromir turned out okay, but there are still a few things that I might have done differently with the figure. At least he made the first cut, so that's a good sign in a category that packed with excellent entries.
Now I'm looking at clearing off the paint desk to make room for new projects, and maybe actually complete a few old projects too. I'm scouring through bottles of paint, many of the GW versions are worthless and dried-up. Many of these even have the re-designed bottle lids with the flip-top caps. They suck. I think GW has improved with the bottles for the new Foundation line of paints and the new Citadel Washes, but I'm not going to spend another dime on the older paint pots if I can help it. I feel like it's just throwing that money away. I'll spend my paint money on Reaper Master Series.
