Moved In!
Funny how a move seems so simple in planning, but in execution becomes complicated. And where did all that stuff come from?! We are now moved in and organized. I took some pics the day of the move, I was so excited to share it with you loyal reader, but the place was still a mess.

If you look near the bottom you can see some pics of the place once cleaned up and organized.

Dan and Bill finished up the massive bigger-than-a-fridge Priming Closet. It has an industrial size fan that clears the air through a filter and drying racks that keep primer dust from blowing back on drying models.

New address is:

Blue Table Painting, Inc.
765 North Main Street
Spanish Fork, UT 84660

Forge World Order
I am making a Forge World Order on Monday May 22. Anyone want to order something? There’s no cost for shipping from the UK since it will be a bulk order. Anyone? Come on, you know you want to.

Coming Soon
Some units will be appearing in the For Sale section (check new stuff):
• Skaven Rat Ogres and Globadiers
• Tzeentch Chaos Warriors
• Wood Elf Archers (a lot of them)

Guest Artists
Blue Table has started a program where artists can put their work on our website. We take the pics and make the listing, which can stay active for months and months. You and Blue Table split the profit (what’s left over after you get money for what you spent on the models, and we get reimbursed for Paypal/Shipping). Email me for details.

We have two guest artists right now code named Lime Dragon and Legions Forward. See their work in the For Sale section (you will have to go to the Guest Artist section)

Or go direct:

Lime Dragon really wants to move those Eldar along so feel free to contact me with an offer for the lot. This would make a great first army, or alternate army.

We will have about 50 new figures up for Legions Forward this week.

When you buy from a guest artist, you deal with Blue Table. We ship and follow up, so buy with confidence.

Giants
The giants are coming. Uh, really this time. Four are finished with a fifth and sixth very near completion. The Office Manager, Heather L. did a Devil Giant that is just amazing. It’s the trippiest thing you’ll ever see. She did an amazing job on it.

Personal
I just read Wicked, which I picked up after getting hooked on the Broadway musical thanks to my wife. Nothing like the original Oz, and nothing like the play if you ask me.

Other than that, this week has been absolutely exhausting from the move—four days of it really. But a great sense of satisfaction. Griffin is almost walking and that’s really something. He’s a daddy’s boy. He practically dives out of his mother’s arms when I walk in the room.

My wife is headed to Oregon to visit relatives (on both sides) for a week. It will be awesome for the first three days, and terribly lonesome the last four. As always.
