A fan of our youtube channel is in a band, so against my normal policy you can see his vid here. Well, listen really since it's audio only. A lot of effort to learn an instrument and keep a band together.
Sounds a little like Rush.

Turtle Found
The other day we got a call from our neighbor asking if we had a lost pet turtle. Yes, last summer our turtle went missing. So, a year later "Milky Way" had chugged East exactly thirty feet, dug under the fence and somehow survived a harsh Utah winter in an old lady's yard, happily surviving on bugs and greens.
Good for him!
Now he's Willow's pet and she's whiling away the afternoon as he crawls around in the grass nearby. The perfect pet for a three year old. That animal exists for the entertainment of that girl. And she is so kind and gentle and protective of the little creature. He's an animated one, not just hiding whenever anyone is near. He plows through high grass, bushes, towels, and bowls of water.
I've been playing D&D with my two boys, Jonah (10) and Griffin (7). We made the toy room into our D&D room. It is a sheer delight. They are totally stoked about it, we've played every night for three nights. This is the first time they seem to be actually getting it. Griffin is actually just old enough to sit through a ninety minute session. I can't tell you how proud I am to find them sneaking D&D books to bed so they can read them after supposed bed time.
On Saturday I came across a garage sale and picked up a washer and dryer for (what is now called) the BTP house. And a microwave and toaster oven! I love garage sales. Apparently it's like two blocks from Renn's place and they were all up playing Mordheim the other night.
In spite of that, I still consider my life to be like heaven. It's really super. I am myself. My life is zen-like.
Stay on the beach or move inland, but you can't put up a "No Hurricanes" sign. That's me. I'm like a tempest. I do what I do. I am naturally doing the right thing. I am clay in the Maker's hands.
One more HOTI is available
Last one. See below for details.
Very limited time. I'm hoping to get it set up tonight.
Surprise Lots
NOTE: I have completely suspended this program.
_________________________________________________________________
Here's how it works. You pay $6.00 per lot. You choose a game and race for each lot that you purchased. You will receive $15-30 retail of models from that race. We pick. They could be new on sprue, assembled, or painted (for better or worse!). You don't pick what you get, that's the catch.
This is kind of like that thing where I was selling the bins full of 40K or Fantasy baggies, except you get to pick what army you get.
Contact Thomas at
bluetablepainting@gmail.com if you want to purchase some lots. Or
call 801 372 8545. We need money via CC (by phone or email) or
Paypal. Paypal address is bluetablepainting@gmail.com
Buy direct from our website.
Here are the choices
40K
Any of the major published races
Exceptions: we are out of Tau, Daemons, Sisters of Battle,
Low on Necrons.
Warhammer Fantasy
Any of the major published races
We are still inventorying so check first.
War Machine
Limited to just the general game- can't pick a faction except War Machine or Hordes
For War Machine we just have Legion, Cryx, Menoth.
Shipping
$9 flat in US (for any number of lots)
$15 to Canada
$35 to Australia/NZ/Japan
$25 most other places (eg Europe)
We combine shipping so you pay only the one flat amount even if you get multiple lots.
Sigh of Relief... for now

Mother's Whaaaaaa?
My eyes popped open this morning. Holy Crud-mobile Batman! It's Mother's Day!
Fortunately my wife had the foresight to buy herself a bunch of gifts which she placed by my bed, ready to be wrapped. Actually, she was even wiser than that and provided gift bags.
I heard footsteps upstairs and thought Holy Crud! She's up already and making herself breakfast! So I ran upstairs (as you may recall I'm sleeping in the guest room, more on that) to find McKenna already making Mother's day breakfast for her. Hooray! So, I piggybacked on that to make it "our" breakfast and all was well.
Or as Gately says: You snooze, you will probably get out of some work.
Anyway, it was off to church where my wife and I work in the Primary as teachers. Giving parents a two hour a week break from their kids basically. I view that as community service.
For fun?
Police beat a man to death while he begs for mercy, crying out to both God and his mortal father. But was it really for fun?
Warning: this is graphic. You will be sad afterwards.
Custom Terrain Sets
Custom terrain is $400-900 for a table's worth. That's 16-24 pieces. As the budget goes up we increase complexity and/or quantity. You pay half down and give rough instructions (two or three sentences usually) and we get started.
Turnaround is the same as standard 3-5 weeks with a 12 week outside limit (very odd to take that long, almost never happens). We don't ship terrain outside the continental US except 1) you absolve us of any damage, 2) you pay actual shipping.
You can also buy approximate copies of sets that we have already done as follows.
Alien Spires = $350 (16 pieces, or 24 pieces at $450)
Eldar-esque Ruins with Alien Foliage = $450
Forest Ruins = $450
Water Temple = $850
Hellish Temple = $850
Add set of objective counters to a Temple set = $75
Burned out Village = $550
Elfin Ruins = $450
Elfin Ruins deluxe = $850
Runic Ruins = $400 (20 pieces), $600 (30 pieces), $800 (40 pieces)
Desert Spires = $650 (this was shown as "Jade Spires", and you can have regular trees instead of alien puffballs)
Steampunk Factory = $625
Ruined Imperial Outpost on Alien Planet = $550
Bombed Out City (you can get a burned out vehicle to match your game case-by-case) $850
Burned out Village Building = three for $120
Alien Kelp Tree Cluster = six for $120
Let's keep Elise employed! She will be caught up in 10-14 days, so set up now so we can dovetail your terrain right into the schedule.
Getting the second and final part of the Chaos Dwarfs ordered. Here is the final list:
1x Prophet Sorceror on foot
1x Prophet Sorceror on bale taurus
3x Daemonsmiths
40x Infernal Guard

3x Magma Cannon
2x Deathshrieker Rocket

Comes in at more than 3500 pts.
Are Re-education Camps Coming?
Here's an interesting article.
I spent some time this morning actually reading this 326 page military document. I wonder if soldiers will uphold the Constitution or follow orders?
Hero of the Imperium 2012
All right folks, here are the details. Contact bluetablepainting@gmail.com if interested or if you have questions.
This is a limited offer; there is only two golden slots left. This is the absolute best
special that BTP offers, and we don't do it very often. Indeed, it's
possible that we may never offer them again.
You get a $3,000 credit to be used for painted/finished figures for $2150.
Once you pay, the credit becomes available by by degree each month, starting thirty days after you pay, at the rate of minimum 1/5 the total amount per month over the course of five months. I sometimes fulfill them at a faster rate.
This credit cannot be used to pay off current or past projects. It's only for new, future projects.
On a case-by-case basis you can also pick up second-hand armies we have for sale.

It's the ultimate bulk deal. Please contact me via email at bluetablepainting@gmail.com if interested.
There
are a few conditions. The credit can be used for materials (ie the
models/kits) but those need to be assembled and painted by BTP as
part of the deal (ie you can't just have us mail you kits). Some
miniatures lines are not available through this deal (eg Forge World).
If
you are dis-satisfied in any way, you agree to notify us and let us
make reasonable amends. This deal is subject to our normal Terms of
Service in our service guide.
You can also send your own models to be painted. You don't need to get them through BTP.
The credit can only be used for commonly available materials (for example: not Forge World).
This
special is the best deal offered to date. It is not cumulative with
other specials. Exceptions: L2, Tank Factory, and Artistic License
(those specials are cumulative with this one). Other specials/deals or
whatever work with this one only at BTP's discretion.
BTP
can reasonably clarify or amend unclear areas of the deal. There are
always little gremlins that get in works. We both agree to be
reasonable.
