While I may have stopped reviewing the Digital White Dwarf monthly, I do still want to share the wonderfully high-resolution images of the next new and shiny models coming our way on occasion. With the stir that the upcoming Eldar release has caused, I feel it only fit to share all the images that are plastered within the new White Dwarf I just downloaded to my iPad from Newsstand.
So without further ado, read on and enjoy the pictures!!
Boy, it's been a while since I put knife to plastic, putty to figure or even paint to resin. Overtime at work, work trips, helping my wife prep for an out-of-country mission trip, and other outside forces have conspired against any sort of productive hobby time lately. So how to fix this?
Get back to the basics of working when I have the time to do it.
Now that means I'm writing blog posts and working on models post 9pm at night, but I'm working on them again, and it feels good!
So what's on the desk?
This is a shout out to everyone who wishes they could be in the UK right now and at this event!
Loken from Apocalypse 40K took his own personal Thunderhawk from LA, and is currently blogging live coverage, so everyone go flood his blog for the latest news on upcoming projects, figures and more!
...and if you hadn't caught the other two links, go HERE for his blog!

This is one of those topics where you'd think that the subject line alone would be enough. Do you get more done with appropriate Time Management? Of course you do! By the logic of the statement alone, managing your time appropriately is key to getting anything done, be it at work, at home, or indeed even in our hobby. The question though, is how. How do we appropriately manage our time so that we not just get time for our hobby, but we manage the time spent in our hobby so that we get the most out of it, and actually complete projects?
We're going to take a look at some key areas on how good time management can actually help us in the hobby, starting with how to make time for it in the first place, to applying those skills to small-scale projects, large-scale projects, and competition-level projects.
Day three of the 2013 Adepticon Image Dumps brings us finally to the subject of Warhammer Fantasy. This will also be the final image dump of this year's Adepticon Coverage. It is as comprehensive as my schedule allowed, but mainly is just shots from the Warhammer Fantasy Championships, single-player tournament.
I missed quite a few photo opportunities of various demos, the dealer room, and Lord knows what else. I did get into quite a few seminars, which I'll be covering as separate articles all their own, as well as catch up with some amazing friends I just don't get to see often enough. With the weekend as busy as it always is, and my sheer want for just some time to decompress, I decided to take time to actually catch up with as many of those friends as possible. Honestly though, if the pictures over the last few days do nothing else, I hope it encourages you to attend Adepticon 2014 so that we get the chance to catch up as well, especially if you've never been!
On to the pictures!!
Needless to say, I took a metric crap-ton of pictures this past weekend. As promised, day two of the image dumps consist of the Crystal Brush entries for the 2013 Crystal Brush Competition. Unfortunately, family needs and work kept me from entering anything this year, but that didn't stop me from drooling all over the glass while I took these pictures.
I've been asked why would I spend so much time looking at, and even studying to some degree, other people's entries into a contest like Crystal Brush, or Golden Demon. Honestly, for two reasons: 1) because in those display cases, lies buckets of inspiration for me, 2) studying other amazing entries, especially when I'm competing against them, can be a touch humbling, and does a person good. Entering competitions such as these can be intimidating, but when you can enter them, doing your very best, and at the same time, being humble enough to actually learn something from your competitors and good criticism, then you can only improve,
Enough of me on a soapbox, let's get to the pictures!!
Is Adepticon really already over?
I'll be taking the next few days and pushing out some fairly large image dumps, categorized according to genre, as well as a full image coverage of all the Crystal Brush entries. Yes, I realize that the weekend is already over, but there is a good chance that I've got pictures of something that others may not have gotten...or you just want a no-hassle place to view all the Crystal Brush entries. I know I get inspiration from seeing all the insane and amazing armies at Adepticon, and thought I'd share!
Either way, the first image bank will be devoted to the 40K side of things, followed up by Crystal Brush, then Warhammer Fantasy.
Enjoy the pictures folks!
