So this is how im planning to open on my Astro-physics essay im currently writing, lets hope the lecturer has a sense of humour... :D With all jest aside im knee deep in cosmology and its serious business. I mean these people tell it like it is, with absolutely no humour at all. For example here is an exert on what im currently reading...
"The direct detection of WIMPs relies mainly on measuring the nuclear recoil of nucleons impacted by a WIMP in the lab" (Meszaros, 2010, p. 183)
First it was Uranus, Now Wimps and Machos. Everything has to do with Pie or something (ive yet to see an actual pastry of any sort) and here they are, expecting me to take them seriously.

I have also acquired a forgeworld Lufgt Huron (not really sure what im going to do with him yet) and a dirt cheap Canis Wolfborne. So in introspection my list of models requiring painting grows every day... in fact here is a quick rundown;
Skaven: 70 Clanrats, 70 Slaves, 4 weapon teams, 2 warlock engineers, Battle Standard Bearer, Warlord, 4 Rat Ogres, 2 packmasters (with many more to come as I buy them)
(this skaven force btw is going to be something special, and will require it seems massive amounts of custom made parts... wow...)
The Forsaken: 4 honour guard, Termi Librarian, 20 assault marines, 8 bikes (including attack bike), Furiso Dread, Librarian Dread
Plus,
Daemon Prince (Astral Wolves)
Chaos Lord on demonic mount (Astral Wolves using Canis)
Forgeworld Ork Warboss Biker (one off show piece)
Forgeworld Lufgt Huron (Forsaken Termy lord perhaps?)
Custom built Ork Easy rider (one off show piece)
and a yet to be decided model for Papa JJ (This has priority)
As I sit here I know I'm missing something, oh there's a Flames of War Fallschirmjager Kompanie sitting there looking at me but they have waited this long and I never play the system much either. Also I have apparently been drafted to assemble 8 drop pods for JP (Ulhfen Templars) for his new BA army... little does he know im imbuing them with Voodoo magic to make them scatter wildly every time he plays me with them MWAHAHAHHAHA... oh wait he reads this... I kid... yes *shifty eyes*
So there you have, its a big task I have set before me but as of the 28th I have time, lots of time. look out btw in the next few days I shall be breaking out a sterling review of Dice Rolla as promised, and I have to say I would never have back read someone else's blog to such detail had I not promised Papa JJ the honour. I'm glad I did however! It isn't something I would recommend to everyone but every now and then find a blog you like wind it back a year or two and sit for spell reading, the transitions will amaze you even if its a blog you read on a daily basis.
Until then Good Gaming!

Good luck with your paper and that big project list!
ReplyDeleteI agree that sifting through archives can be rewarding, though I don't do it too often. I do really like the "you might also like" widgets, and often bounce around to several topics if they look interesting.
Great advice and duly taken Sonsoftaurus! and Thankyou :D
ReplyDeleteWow, who knew Sauron lives in space? Nice intro for your paper, good luck with all the school work! I do like your evil plan for putting those drop pods under a voodoo scatter curse, I've heard those models are a pain to assemble so it serves him right for making you do it.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for taking the time to look around my blog, I am excited to see your thoughts about it. Every so often I like to pick out a blog that I've been enjoying and go back to read through their early writings. I find it really interesting to see how they've developed over time. I'm grateful you've been able to find some things of interest in my own work, thanks!
He can put all the chicken blood in there! The drop pods will still fall like rain on the table!
ReplyDeleteBesides Harley is the only person I know who has the capacity to put these things together well.
So its a compliment but hes still my drop pod bitch at the end of the day :P
this remind's me, I need some of your hair, toe nail clippings and a picture of you... oh and the Witch doctor needs some stuff too!
