Two Years!

if you troll back through the archive you’ll see that my first post on this blog was made on the 24th April two years ago.

Wow. doesn't feel that long.

I wanted to do something to mark the occasion, and to say to all the lovely people who follow the blog and comment, thank you, your help, input and encouragement has kept me blogging, and hobbying at times where I might have otherwise not. It’s been important to me that there’s an “audience” of sorts to react to what I’m doing, its been helpful and encouraging and taught me new things.

All in all it’s a rewarding aspect of the hobby, being able to reach out through this small window, and be heckled :)

So here's what I’m going to do.

I have this unpainted black reach captain -

 

I’d like to paint him up for one of my readers.

I’ll paint him to fit with your army if you like, or for any chapter you choose, to be part of an army you have, the start of a new one, or if you don't play marines, then I’ll put him on a socket instead of a base and paint him for your cabinet/shelf. or hell you could simple green the guy or ebay him. whatever you choose I'll paint him up and post him to you.

Oh and if you’d rather have a sword than a hammer, that’s an easy swap too.

All you need to do for a shot at him is post in this thread saying what chapter you’d like, and whether its to be played with or displayed.

Realistically I know I’m no golden demon winner, and that not many people play SM captains any more, but of all the minis I have sat here unpainted, he’s the one that would probably fit in almost everyone’s collections, even if he never gets played, and I wanted to say a small thank you to the people who drop by and read.

Some of you are way better painters than me, and likely have no use for one of my minis, some of you have no interest in marines, so I wanted to leave this “opt-in” rather than a blanket draw, and ultimately if no-one comments and wants this guy, I have a plan “b” in mind.

So drop a comment and I’ll pull a name out of the hat in a few week’s time
