Hello all and happy belated Thanksgiving! Well, this year instead of participating in the traditional holiday or familial festivities, the wife and I decided to take a trip to the UK. Actually, it was her idea. Well as I'm sure most on here can understand, there was no way that I would take a trip across the pond and then not stop by Nottingham. Luckily, the wife kindly agreed for us to take a day out of the schedule so I could make my pilgrimage to Warhammer World. So, I thought I'd share a few pictures: Really overwhelming and not only lived up to every expectation I had, but surpassed them. Not to mention, everyone I spoke to while on sight were amazingly friendly and chatty. You could feel that all they wanted to do was stand around and talk Warhammer all day. And interestingly enough, apparently after my wife and I arrived (about 30 minutes after opening) the guy I was speaking to at the Forge World store said I had JUST missed Duncan, who usually goes through a few times a day. (I'm not sure why he goes through, maybe to say hi or maybe to get a coffee from Bugman's. I definitely saw a lot of GW staff in Bugman's either having official looking meetings, or just having a coffee and chatting.) Anyway, totally worth the trip. Only negative thing I can say is that my wallet certainly is feeling the pain of being in a place where the entire Forge World catalogue is there within arms reach! But other than that, a completely amazing trip!

Definitely it's well worth it and I can't recommend it enough. If ever you (or anyone) decides to make the pilgrimage, just let me know. I'm happy to share any travel advice/tips, etc. Although, it's pretty easy to get from London to Nottingham and then to GW. I hope you make it!

Thanks, man! Yeah, I’m pretty stoked and I can’t wait to get working on it. But, this will be a huge project (titanic… if you will). I picked up a Masterclass book from FW and also I’ve signed up for an airbrushing class in February which I want to take before I start on this guy. Further, I want to use my Adeptus Titanicus warhounds as a kind of test run to try some new painting techniques and paint schemes, etc. So, I’ll probably start the assembly of it relatively soon, but the actual painting wont commence until the end of February (most likely). But, it’s going to be a fun project and I can’t wait to get it on the table!
