I'd made the decision a couple of months ago to sell off my 40K armies since I hadn't played the game since Alamo 40K 2013. The game had let my armies behind, I wasn't a fan of the mechanics, I was having more fun with WFB. The reasons were numerous.
I'd already traded off my Orks (40K, not fantasy) as I'd never played nor even finished building the army. My Black Templars were my first army of any kind, and I wasn't sure I could part with them. Besides, I'd stripped most of the army because I saw how sloppy my original painting was and I wanted them to look better. That left the Necrons.
I began counting up what I had and trying to figure out what to ask for the army. That was my downfall. I found the unpainted models, the destroyer lord I kit-bashed from three different models. I love that army. I could not come up with a realistic price I would accept for it.
Then a new shop opened up and started an escalation league. I've always wanted to play in an escalation league. So in short, I'm back in, and having fun.
So earlier this week I took up the brush and got back to painting.
Painting drink of choice that night was a Black Cherry Melomel (fruit mead) I bottled in May '14. It's mellowed nicely and is especially good chilled.
