The Adventures of the Andromeda Ascendant

If you've been keeping track of my current activities, you may have noticed that I recently finished watching Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. After five seasons of this show, I've got a new appreciation for the various themes and plot points. Also, I have a whole new appreciation for just how fun this show is. Details and possible spoilers after the jump.

Leeman Russ's Guard

I've been thinking a lot about whether I wanted Leeman Russ to have a unit for him to join for running around the field. I took me a while, but I finally found some models that I liked, and got the first two painted. Pictures after the jump.

Decade of the Wolf

The last time Cam went to Montana, he picked up a book for me: Decade of the Wolf: Returning the Wild to Yellowstone by Douglas W. Smith and Gary Ferguson. As someone who likes wolves, I was looking forward to this book, and really enjoyed my reading of it. More details after the jump.

Warhammer Projects

Jessa and I have been doing a lot of TV and crafts lately - basically watching TV while doing crafting stuff. Jessa has her crochet projects (which I'll let her tell you about), while I have been doing a lot of Warhammer 40k stuff this time around. My last post has the painting I've been doing, but here is a quick summary of the other projects in various stages of completion.

Completed Paint Job

My goal for this year's apocalypse game is to get more paint on the battlefield. Also, I'm redesigning my list a bit to return the focus on heroes and infantry (and less on tanks) compared to last year. This is the infantry portion of my pre-heresy company of the Space Wolves, consisting of a unit of Blood Claws, Grey Hunters, and Long Fangs. Pictures after the jump.
