On Nerdery; Kindles and PDFs

So my wonderful girlfriend got me an Amazon Kindle for Christmas. And besides actually reading stuff on it, I’ve also managed to realise it allows you to read text files and PDF files as well.

That fact was a godsend. So for warpcon, I’ve gotten PDF copies of the 40K codexes I own and put them on. I’ve also gotten the PDF of my List on there as well. :)

I’ll still print the list, but this time at least I can lighten the load and not drag 7 rule books around!

 

Isn’t technology marvellous when I can bend it to my whim? :D

On Determination…

“I’m tired…”

Two words that encompass a slew of feelings, descriptions and states of being.
It’s what comes after the first two words that makes it far from a simple statement.

Warhammer Painting Update: Blood Angels / Space Wolves

February saw a slow down in painting, naturally due to no longer having to rush paint for Warpcon.
That didn’t mean a complete stop. I’ve gotten to the stage where I need to wash 13 of 15 marines. I’ve primed 2 Baal Preds and a rhino as well as 2 land speeders.

No pics, as I never remember to, but I will put some up of the troops once they are all done.

One by one, I’m whittling down the list.

More soon.
