Grad School/ Painting Schedule

Just like the title, my MBA program starts tomorrow- Work on weekdays, and 8 hours of school on Saturdays... freedom all but a memory. Where does this leave my hobby? Hopefully not in the dust, as I've just come back to the painting scene this year. But I'll have a better idea once I get into my studies and see how much time it requires. Aside from my wife and dog, video games and exercise, this is what keeps me stress-free, so even after those grueling Saturdays, I hope that I can get at least a few hours in on free Saturday nights and Sundays. Here's what I have on the chopping block so far-

Updates (Mostly =I= Munda)

-Just recieved my GW Yriel in the mail. This is going to be the basis for my =I= Munda leader, Inq. Desmond Creed. I've sketched out the conversions, and between all of the Eldar symbols I have to file off, and the =I= symbols/accessories that I have to green-stuff on, I suspect this will be an ambitious project. I suspect this guy will be a pretty far cry from the original model, but I'm definitely going to push the envelope on what I can do as far as Green-Fu, painting, and base modelling.

-Just recieved my Warmachine Mage Hunter Assassin Variant (the original was not executed all that well, compared to the original artwork...) This is to represent one of Inquisitor Creed's retinue- green-stuff galore on this model as well...

-Decided to use some parts (either Eversor head or Vampire Counts skeleton head) to create my Psyber Skull accessory for Creed. I have the transparent stand-pins and goods to create one from scratch.

-Just found my treasure trove bitz box from 10+ years ago!! Whoo hoo! I have Space Marine bitz, chopped up Assassins, some Necron and Necromunda bits... I'm definitely going to use a lot on this Inquisitor team.

-Awaiting 3 more miniatures from Warmachine and/or GW to represent my Psyker, Daemonhost, and another Agent (yes, Inquisitor Creed dips DEEP into the Heresy juice)


All of these miniatures will use the larger bases (GW 40mm or Equivalent) and what I hope will be highly-detailed and well-painted. I'm not too concerned with the basing, except that it has to match the battlefield to some degree. Cracked and dilapidated concrete...? Or metal, sludge, rusty crap....? But I won't get ahead of myself for now.

I'm also contracting the work out to make a website to a younger cousin, although I haven't heard back yet. My next big thing is to scan my sketches, document my conversion and painting progress... all for the website. I've also started with the fluff for Desmond Creed, as well as ideas for scenarios for the story-driven campaign... again... all useless without the site to put them on. I may decide to put my initial =I= Munda stuff on the Izanagi Blog and then transfer it over when the dedicated website is up and running, but I haven't decided yet.

But first things first, school. I'll apologize in advance if I'm absent for sometime. Hope to be back soon.
