The Long Drought

My local shop has two boxes of Seraphim and an Inquisitor Lord and retinue after more than a year of not carrying anything. NIB Exorcists and Immolators are being sold in large quantities on eBay, more than I've seen in a year. Games Workshop is no longer selling Sister blisters. I watched as a box of 10 Sisters of Battle sold for $90 on eBay.

I sense a terrible time ahead for us Sisters of Battle players. (Inquisition models: I don't care - you can buy that stuff by the bucket used.)

Yes my friends, I believe the purge is upon us. And while there may be hope of a better, more plastic day, for the near future we must suffer. The well is drying up and prices are going bonkers. No longer are the freespirited days when 10 Sisters didn't come directly out of our children's college funds, our 401ks, or the Y2K money we keep hidden in a sock in the third drawer. But the panic only makes it worse.

Damn economists for ever inventing supply-demand. But mostly damn GW for taking away our happiness. Daddy needs his fix!

I won't be taking part in the madness, although I did just buy a non-converted Exorcist... just to be safe. But until sanity returns to the market (may plastic Sisters drop the price), I'm out.

I could always just carve some boobs onto Imperial Guard. That might tie me over.

Space Wolf : Wolf Guard WIP

I have to start off by giving credit where credit is due.  This idea I modified from a guy off of the Space Wolf Blog located here: http://space-wolves-grey.blogspot.com/2011/01/from-work-bench-1.html 









As you can see I cut on mine a bit differently from him.  I'm retaining the chaos warrior torso and cloak but making sure I have enough space marine bits, both chaos and loyal, for people to not get confused on where the model is suppose to be.  Where is that you say?  The 13th Co. of course!
