GW = The Evil Empire

So as anyone might have gathered from the title of my blog, I have recently returned to the creative hobby of war gaming! 

I have many memories as a young lad painting, chatting and gaming with friends at the Games Workshop in York. In the midst of all this fun I used to ask to have a rumidge in the 'Gubinz' box in order to make various conversions! 

Now silly old nostalgic me thought that as I'm currently converting a number of Nurgle Space Marines that GW might actually still have a 'Gubinz' box? Additionally I thought this quite plausible being that GW hail themselves as a hobby club and not just a shop.

I politely asked whether I could have a look at said 'Gubinz' box and the reply was a firm NO it's against company policy! 

Right so let me digest this for a moment!

* GW have a poor mail order parts service compared to when I last collected miniatures!

*  They claim to be a Hobby Club! 

*  It is now against company policy to aid someone's imagination, despite me offering to pay for and parts I found within the 'Gubinz' box! 

Well I would like this moment to say......

Fuck you Games Workshop! You money grabbing cynical organisation! No wonder you sales are down and that your suffering in the ressesion! 

Gob smacked! 

I will endeavor never to buy another product 'brand new' from you again! Moreover I shall purchase other (up and coming) companies miniatures over the web! 

Hobbies are about fun, not about cynical big business! 

Terminator Commander

Same detail as before! Busy leave period 

Emperors Champion

Post conversion paint job! 

I wanted dark and gothic, I think I've achieved it. 

However I now have a green stuff dependency :-( 

The Mark of Nurgle upon you!

An evenings green stuff! 

Future projects

Future projects include the completion of the Black Templar crusade as well as these two sets of Miniatures! 

The first port of call will be the complete toon of my Green Skin Horde! Maybe with a couple of Da Waganz thrown in! Suggestions please? 

Now this took some digging! However I now have two squads of plague marines with original metal champions (2003) and special weapons! I need some Arms and Gubinz but there will be a Plague force fit for Nurgle upon finishing! 

The Cabinet

The 'Cabinet' so far! 

Within the next few months an upgrade might be required!
