Honored Imperium Part 2

Well, I finished the statue and the little ruin.  I decided to go with the painted look for the statue, but I also decided not to go all the way painted, either.  I can totally imagine the zealots of the Imperium painting every square inch to make sure it's as "realistic" looking as possible, but I'm not one of those zealots.  That and leaving some of it actually looking like statuary reminds one that it is, in fact, a statue.  It was also pretty easy.  Broad areas not any super crazy detail.  On the whole, I'm good with it.

The Land Raider has not yet arrived.  I don't expect it until after Christmas.  Bit of a bummer, but it's better than not getting it at all.

I'm considering the idea of playing a mini game of 40K against myself to bone up on the current ruleset.  Maybe 500 points of Marines vs I don't know...  I have a Templar force that I can use as an OPFOR and do Marines on Marines, possibly using two different builds to get a feel how different units feel.  That's probably not a bad idea since I'm probably most likely to play against Marines, Chaos Marines, or any number of MEQ armies.  I think I'll try to slip it in sometime in the next week so I can actually say that I played a 6th ED game this year.

I've got a good handful of Tac Squad Jobbers started but not done.  I think those are going to be the next thing I work on.  I should also finish my Fortress of Redemption and maybe even start on my Shrine of the Aquila.  Or my 30-something Terminators.  Or my unpainted Vindicators.  Or unpainted Predators.  I've got too much stuff undone.  So let's not get ahead of ourselves.  Let's just go one step at  a time and, you know, get some stuff done while I have the time.
