The Podcast Junkie for 04/05/2010
I have to admit that I have become a podcast junkie. Each week, I listen to a dozen or so podcasts while making the daily commute to and from work. Most of the podcasts I listen to are related to the GW hobby, so I figure each week I will spotlight one that I really liked in the prior week.
This week's podcast...
"Warning - This podcast is not safe for work or small children"
I really like reviews of army books long after they have been initially released as I tend to find the reviews to be more solid after people have been playing with the book for awhile. This episode looks at the current Vampire Counts book. Credit to the Podhammer crew for being honest about how some of their initial thoughts on the book when it was first released were wrong.
Honorable Mention...
World's End Radio - Episode 35 "Lords of the Spire"
This podcast is a few weeks old, but the running joke during the discussion about Necromundo is flipping hilarious (at least to me). Great podcast by the World's End crew that has inspired me to read the Necromundo rules and consider picking it up.

Stuff for Sale: Space Hulk Terminators, Daemons, & Chaos Dwarves (Oh My!)
I have decided to add a page to my blog that lists all of the stuff I am currently looking to part with from my collection. I am only looking to sell stuff at this time as I have to much stuff in my collection. If you are interested in anything, please feel free to email me at equinox999equinox@yahoo.com.
Among the stuff for sale is a set of the terminators from the new Space Hulk. It seems like people are asking alot for each model, so I am not sure what is a fair price to offer. I think I am going to take the best offer I receive over the next few days (nothing below $50.00 for the set) as I don't want to give them away, but at the same time I am not trying to rob anyone.

The Rival List for 04/03/2010
The Rival List for 04/03/2010
10. FoxPhoenix's 40K
Don't see alot of posts showing off anything BFG related. I also kind of agree with his statement about the cost of commissar models.
9. Saguaro Painting
I believe these are LoTR dwarves. Either way, nice paint job that should make Saguaro's client very happy.
8. Space Wolves
A pretty good article about the current state of Dark Angels.
7. Eldar Addict
While I dislike the current trend to release rules for new units without a model available, I have to admit that it has inspired the community to create some great stuff. This Parasite of Mortrex is a good example of that inspiration turned into reality.
6. 40K Campaign Cologne
A great list of five things for newbies and veterans to consider when starting an army.
5. Way of Saim-Hann
A good article about the current state of the game and whether or not the first turn is critical to winning the game.
4. Military of Ultramar
I find it very inspirational to see other people complete their hobby projects. This Ultramarine army (counts as Deathwing) is a great reminder of how all that hard work and time can result in a great looking army.
3. Musings of a Metal Mind
These conversions are so alien, so different, so amazing that I can't really say more about them.
2. Kult of Khaine
Nothing hotter than a violent, naked, female elf. A very good conversion and paint job on a special character not normally seen running around on her feet.
1. The Painting Corps
I had to do a double take when I saw this model as the paint scheme is similar to mine. Lovely work and a great alternative color scheme from the one in the Tau Empires book.
Honorable Mention
Drazhar's Miniworks
Very original harpy conversions.

March 2010 Painting Points
I declare the month of March to be a success. While I found the goals I had set at the start of the month to not work, I accomplished alot of painting during the month. I have made some great strides and am alot closer to finishing my army for the N.I.M.G.C. Vanguard tournament. The nice thing is that what I am counting for March is only a part of what I completed in the month. I actually finished a good portion of the next core unit and some IG, but I want to show them off as a complete unit and not individually, so they will get included in April's total.
Starting this month, I am including my points from the prior year as a point of comparison.
Points Earned in March 2010: 5 Points
Total Points in 2010: 14 Points
Total Points in 2009: 13 Points

Special Thanks to Lone Pilgrim for introducing such a fun idea to the 40K blogsphere.
