Brother Eleysium

Being am avid Crimson Fists player, I've wanted to see GW bring Pedro Kantor back for years now. Such a cool backstory, and honestly besides it being severely outdated, I still think the old pewter model is pretty sick.

Personally the sculpts have improved over my tenure of hobbying and playing the game in general.(twenty-three years total which is hard to think about) The quality of the model casting, the details, the ease to put them together, and especially the fact that my dreadnoughts and certain tanks aren't 5-10 lb blocks of pewter... That being said, there are also models that GW has released in the last several years, that I just flat out face palm on... The Desolation Squad and the Invictus Tactical Suit really grind my gears. To me both units are comical at best, and I'll never own either. If I ever field them, I use models that I have modded to represent them and always let a new opponent beforehand. I also don't like the fact that the kits are by and large cookie cutter, and there is a lot less room for variety across units if you field more than one in the same army. But, as I mentioned above, GW has definitely improved overall over the course of my experience with the game.

Cherish them like they're my firstborn children.... If it's a faction I like/still hobby with, I hold onto them and use them for future projects. Other factions I try to find someone in my social cirlcle that wants/needs them. If that doesn't happen I'll throw them online to sell.

Throwing my two cents out here: 1. Personally, I give people 15- 20 minutes, and then I move on with my life. It's too short to dwell on what someone else has going on. I'd let the store owner(s) know that (insert opponent's name here) left and their stuff is on table ( insert whatever name/number it is here) and then they can deal with it. It's not your responsibility to take care of someone else's property, but there's nothing preventing you from being a good human being and making sure it's at least being watched over. At the end of the day, unless it's a pattern with certain individuals, we all have lives outside of gaming hopefully, and you never know what may be going on and what information is being received on the other end of that phone call. You also never really know what other people have going on. At the end of the day, we're playing a game with plastic fictitious characters, that's largely based on chance... 2. By and large, if it's someone's significant other, child, or someone with emotional attachment in general, I just leave it be. Some people are co-dependent, and some people bond by doing things like this together. If it's just "Randy the Rando" stopping by to offer his unwanted tactical advice, I've politely yet sternly told them, "Hey man, we're playing a game here, we I appreciate it, but I think we got it covered. If we have any questions, we'll come grab you." Not going to lie to you, Randy grinds my gears too. 3. I just say, "No, I'll take my W for the day." and just leave it at that. I personally don't care if I win or lose, I am way past my competitive tournament playing mentality. But, I am not going to waste my time playing with someone that quits because they don't get the outcome they wanted. Like i mentioned above, if it's a pattern with said individual(s), which based off of my life experience it usually is, then I just don't seek or play games with them anymore. It's not worth the time and aggravation as you pointed out. At the end of the day, it's a hobby/game that we're supposed to be playing to take our mind off of reality and escape for a while. Yeah there's a human element that's completely out of our control, but that's in all facets of life. If you notice patterns with certain individuals or a certain individual, I would just stop engaging with them as far as playing actual games is concerned. You're always going to have the one off chance off any of the above scenarios happening no matter what you do when encountering new people, so I hope my advice can help. Happy gaming.

I'll have to get some pictures when I get home this evening from the office, but unfortunately I have what is called "a dice problem." If I see a faction, genre, or anything in between specific set or sets of dice, they are getting purchased. I have so many dice that I find myself hiding the fact that I bought more from my wife... Some may call it unhealthy. As far as practicality, some of them roll better than others, but as a casual gamer I really don't care. Long gone are my days of tournaments and worrying about wins and losses.

I absolutely love this. I'm a halfway decent painter, but I've always struggled with "green stuff" and other modeling putties. The hood you made on this model is top notch. I know it's historically inaccurate in the worst way, but this reminds me of the hoods the actors were seen wearing in Braveheart. Well done.

I know your question has already been answered, but I have ordered from there multiple times in the past. Great site, with AWESOME stuff. I highly recommend it.

Grim and dark. The attention to the detail in making the speeder and marines look like they've been through h3ll and back is awesome.

Bro, these conversions are absolutely sick! I fancy myself as a decent painter, but your greenstuff work is absolutely phenomenal. Really inspirational and does the Templars justice on a whole nother level. Absolutely jealous of your conversion work, and saw a few things I am going to try to replicate on my Crimson Fists. Keep it coming, WELL DONE! Edit: Spelling errors corrected.

Last night(my today)I got my Sergeant Jovan in the mail, and started to covert him to be a Crimson Fist LT. I'm working on modding a Bolt Rifle from the Intercessors boxed set, and adding some more flash to the model overall to give him a little more character. This is by far one of my favorite Limited Edition Primaris models to date.

Last night(I hope this counts as I generally post from the office the following morning)I read through my Collectors Imperial Fists supplement(it just released in the US on the 26th)Organized and sleeved my new IF data cards, and worked on my Space Marine Heroes I converted into Sternguard.

The beginning of what I have been calling my "Crimsonwing". SORRY I went super pic heavy, but I am really proud of these.

Today I committed to buying a $250 Codex... After years of being in the hobby and passing over numerous collectors editions due to not being interested, or because I simply couldn't afford it,(when I was much younger)I decided to take the plunge this time. I bought the Deathwatch one when theirs released, so it only seemed right to do the same this time.

Here are a few of my more recent works. My Dark Hunters Captain on a a bike armed with a Relic blade: Two of my Crimson Fists Captains that I think I will soon be replacing: My Crimson Fists Terminator Chaplain, and my Dark Hunters Chaplain with a Jump Pack: And lasltly my absolute Pride and Joy HQ's my Crimson Fists Terminator Librarian, and my Dark Hunters Primaris Librarian: Sorry for going so crazy, I just had a lot of stuff I wanted to share. :)

I just finished this for a Deathwatch commission army I am doing. I didn't spend as much time on detail as I usually do, as this was a commission to get these guys table ready in the next few weeks, but I was very happy with how he came out. By far my favorite Primaris model out there besides the new tank.
