Re: What did you do today.
Oh aye - I agree that the paint itself is a worthy product. As for the agitator, well, I put them in all my paints, GW or otherwise. I just prefer Vallejo because it's noticeably cheaper per ml and their metallics are awesome good. I also like the dropper bottle much more than the flip top because it's easier to put onto the palette (ok, very fractionally so) and because it increases the longevity of the paint.
I agree with the complaint about air bubbles causing splurging when you open them sometimes. I also had a few that actually tore their own lids in half when the air inside expanded, but maybe that was just me over-tightening them in cool weather (followed by warm weather making them expand massively.) GW pots just pop open in that kind of situation. Not that that's ideal, either, mind you...

Ladies and Gentlemen of the coach, quick service announcement.
The GW paint set has now left Nottingham and has just be cleared and checked at Tamworth. That's the GW paint set at Tamworth, thank you.

Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

We are aiming for a February release date.
Chaos renegades won't be part of this project, but depending on the success of this, they may be part of future projects.
As for next Naghammer, im not sure if I'll be there yet.

Re: What did you do today.
A full couple of days entirely taken up with xmas shopping and necessary yuletide chores with the family. Bought wrapping paper and presents, posted a last-minute a parcel home, got a haircut, scored some mince pies, xmas cheese and biscuits etc at the import store, watched seemingly endless toddler based youtube rhymes (with my son you understand), assembled a new bookcase. And I bought a nice iMac, part funded by work bonus. Been saving for months and I deserve it.
Hobby wise..well, I did buy some nice d20s. Woohoo!

Re: What did you do today.
I'm beginning to worry that I've done that thing that I sometimes do, which is to a) severely underestimate the time required to assemble/paint something and b) completely overdoing a model in terms of what is required vs what I'm actually doing to it.
I very much hope I will be bringing scenery on the 27th. It is taking longer than anticipated...

Re: What did you do today.
I did a little more work on my Sisters of Sigmar for Mordheim - I base coated the metal areas.
And then got the Christmas decorations out the loft.
Re: What did you do today.
Got in a solid bit of sculpting this weekend. Pretty well finished off a Diggachick and two Stunties. Got another Digga about halfway done. The latest has a rather difficult pose and it is taking some time to get the arms to fit, but is looking pretty good. I chopped up a Psi-Judge that Lovejoy gave me a while back (cheers) and put her back together in a better pose, less club-like hands, a more shapely butt and a cracking hairdo. Been ages since I have worked with metal. Felt almost warm nostalgia as I vacuumed up the toxic lead-dust and shavings. I think I might even get her painted up in time to ruin Christmas.
Checked out this new Force Awakens trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1C1TBJWGsI
I am getting so excited for this movie that I peed my pants a little watching the Millenium Falcon zoom around. If it turns out that it sucks as bad as the last batch, I will literally kill myself. I will build a model Falcon and jump of a cliff with it, making "beeooo, beeooo " blaster noises all the way down.
