Aaarghhhh! It's been too long...

So yeah, I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. The endless quest to bring illumination to the minds of Georgia's youth has been occupying an increasing and increasing amount of time and thought lately. I've sat down the last couple of Sundays with the intention of making a post but have failed to deliver. Anyway, in regard to my Blood Ravens project, I have finally completed collecting 1500 points, and it feels good!
Since my last post, some exciting things have happened. I was able to make a trip to Tower Games in Lawenceville to purchase a Space Marine Commander sprue to get the rest of the parts I needed for my Gabriel Angelos conversion. I'll post more on him later after I get him painted (it will be a while). Then, on October 2nd, Games Workshop: City Walk opened in Atlanta. I made trek into Atl and had a blast hanging out for the grand opening, even though there wasn't any free swag... The most important part of the trip however, was that I managed to pick up a Predator to round out my army. I'll post a list later but below are some pics of the assembled army.

As you can see, most of the army is in various early stages of paint. All have been primed black and the tac squads and assault squad have been basecoated with red gore. My plan is to base-coat all the models before moving on to work with the shoulder pads and highlights. Hopefully, I can post again next weekend, I just got and finished Aurelian and I'm anxious to post a responce to the short story!
