In the grim darkness of the future there is only war, and a complete and utter lack of doughnuts. What’s that about? Imagine all the bloodshed that could have been spared had there been a dozen doughnuts at a table where people were meant to sit and talk.
Awww, yes. Update one is now upon us. This has been a fantastic little journey so far. Much progress, such wow. Let’s take a look and see how the Alpha Legion is shaping up.
In High Gothic it’s called an Astartes Rotor Cannon Squad. In Low Gothic it’s called a Brrrrt Squad. In English it’s called Marines go brrrrt. You know exactly what I’m talking about. I painted one for my Zone Mortalis list and I’m here to show it off.
Within the following article we will take a look at the Legion specific Praetor for the Ultramarines and take a look at the Project Ultramar series to come.
My backlog goal for January 2023 was simple: finish the half-finished squad of 20 Necron warriors and Chronomancer that had sat, primed, on my hobby desk for almost 6 months. I already knew the paint scheme. I had all the paints, basing materials, and base magnets. All that was needed was time spent painting at the hobby desk.
I did it everyone. I painted a few models. In a month. Bare with me a minute while I pat myself on the back and try to avoid looking my shame pile in the eyes… not awkward…
May the Emperor forgive my idolence and sloth! I didn’t manage to achieve my goal for the month of January. Like going to the gym for a New Years resolution, I started out strong at the beginning of the month, and by the end was beginning to regret that paid-in-advance 6 month gym membership.
But is this truly a failure?
My Backlog project results did not meet my expectations. This was for various reasons. But that is not to say that I am unhappy with what I accomplished this January.
We’re well into January and I have made progress, but not as much as I might like and not on the stuff I planned to work on. But, progress nonetheless…
Progress has been made! Shock! Quelle surprise! I did end up getting sidetracked by a nasty cold, but otherwise, I think things are largely on track.
A couple weeks into January and I am making progress! Also, Let’s destroy my closet to see what’s hiding inside!
