What I did today?
I got myself white primer, few meters of various brass and copper rods, 2mm and 2,3mm drills and paralysed facial nerve.
Today I've spent over 3h in a hospital talking to neuroligist - it doesn't look too good, but happily not catastrphic either. Hopefully it won't affect my modelling and painting skills... Fingers crossed!
Todays update is not too jolly, but tomorrow I should have few surprises for You!
Todays number one albums were: Lynyrd Skynyrds' 'the best of' and Metal Gear 3 soundtrack.

Take A Dare And See...
Privateer Press News
About Me & The Blog
If you'd see me walking down the street you'd say
that I'm a casual looking, fine young man.What you probably wouldn't say is that I was born
in Poland during the commie reign, then partially
raised in the UK and now am studying for a film & cultural studies
degree at Jagiellonian University in Krakow and I'll make my run for masters degree pretty soon...(you also wouldn't say that I'm a hungarian
prince, but that's ok, as I'm not one)I love films, music, books, my beautiful racing
bike, colourful and immensely tight jerseys and
my wonderful fiancee Magdalene.
My first contact with the miniature wargaming was
in my primary school, when, to impress my other 9
year old friends, I bought for my parents money a
box of 5 Chaos Space Marines (those veeery-old-
edition ones-it was a long time ago...).
Afterwards I dipped them in a pot of black paint
and put some water transfers on them. Not too
impressive.After this short adventure not much was going on
untill the summer of 2005 when after playing the
'Dawn Of War' RTS game I bought codex and my
first handful of Chaos Space Marines minis in a
GW store in Manchaster (in the UK that is). I
guess the game served it's purpose.In a few months my Chaos army has grown to a
2500pts force, which in fact wasn't balanced at
all. Almost a bunch of random models.
Later on, in the spring of 2006, I got hooked up
by another Wh40k army - the malicious Dark Eldar.
Now that has made me proud! The expensive in
points but fragile force that could be extremely
deadly in the right hands. I was on fire! This
time I clearly knew what kind of force I want to
build, so firstly I got myself 2x Raiders, 2x
Ravangers, 12x Reaver Jetbikes - they'll never
know what hit them. This and some other stuff has
made 1500pts force that was ready for the 2006
'Medusa V' world campaign.
It was during this very summer of 2006 when
accidentaly I ran onto Privateer Press products
in FanBoy3 shop, again, in Manchaster.Out of a sudden I saw beautiful models, a
fantastic background and the gameplay that was so
far away from the 'd6 randomness'as it is
possible.I simply couldn't resist!While obviously not thinking straight I started
interviewing one of the sales assistants about
Hordes. As by the time I was a dedicated Dark
Eldar player I was looking for something similar
in gameplay so I ended up with Primal and Circle
Orboros warpack.This was a whole new world of excitment to me -
I've felt almost the same fever as when I bought
my first Wh40k codex, but now the wargaming
wasn't new to me at all! I went crazy!Enchanted by the Iron Kingdoms I've started
thinking: 'I already have a Hordes faction, maybe
I should by a Warmachine one? Not much, just a
few models pro forma...'. Yeah, a few models my
arse!I went back to the FanBoy3 and bought half of the
Cygnar that was hanging on the racks. And you
know what? It felt really good!Almost like an
addict on a ride... My next few weeks were all
about assembling, then after some time I bought a
few more models.
In february 2007 I got myself 750pts worth Khador
goodness. In april I've started my 4th faction -
Legion Of Everblight with a 350pts. My todays possesion status is something around
3500pts of WM/H models and all the rulebooks and
expansions including collectors edition of
Apotheosis (no: 1656). Am I a hardcore fan? Hell
I am!
I want to write this blog to force myself into
the pattern of systematic work, to get all my
models finally done, because all my minis maybe
cleaned, pinned, assembled, GS'ed and primed, but
only a mere half of them has been painted. And I
have a lot of models, which equals a lot o work
ahead. I'm painting my models to a very high
standard so it takes me a while to get a mini
done, but I know that if I'll work an hour or two
each day it's all gonna be far easier.
I'll do my best to update the blog every day and
I'll appreciate if any of you'd care to mail me
with suggestions, tips or even just to exchange
opinions or letters.
