I had a Dream…
A few days back I dreamed I was looking over the California plain. As far as I could see there were laborers cutting trenches for an enormous foundation; pouring concrete, setting iron rods and wooden moulds. There was a man overlooking it all. When he turned to me I saw that it was Walt Disney. He said, <When I started no one believed it could be done.>

Blue Table is Disneyland for middle-aged gamers. For those of us whose game-playing child never died. For those who played with little plastic dinosaurs in the jungle of our backyard.

New on the Block
We just put up ten new listings. Some solid beginnings on a Drune force. More Confrontation to come. The Goblin Bushi are almost done. Evil Dwarves are up next. I ordered all that stuff today, probably like thirty figures.

Now Scheduling for mid-April
Have a project needs doing? Just send us a list of what you’d like done and we’ll help you through the process. If you decide that now is not the right time to have your work done, that’s just fine, at least you’ll know how it works.

Do you have a ton of unorganized pewter in the garage? You can just box it up and send it out. We’ll transform all those pieces into a finished army that you’ll be proud to have on your gaming table.

We accept Paypal. Using a credit card to make a Paypal payment is just as easy as a credit card checkout on a typical website.

Don’t like Paypal? A MO is fine. We’ll work with you.

In Recent News…

Most notably, we finished a few Confrontation armies, and a Dwarf army (with the new models).

Games Day Approacheth
We’d all like to bring both a 40K and a Fantasy army, with display board, but that’s just not going to happen this year, so we decided to all bring 40K armies.

Here’s the lineup:
Mike with Tyranids
Bill with Orks
Shawn with Eldar (Fire Dragons)
Heather with Emperor’s Children
Jay with Death Guard

We’re still trying to get Andy and Jason to go. We might just get out that Drop Pod army, too.

This crew is so amazingly talented. If you’ve been following Blue Table then you’re in for a real treat in 2006. We’re more organized and better focused than ever. Each painter will have painted no less than thirty armies by the end of this year. How good do you think they’ll be then? Even better than now if you can believe it.

I am working on my 40K army for LA Games Day in April. The Shrine of the Burning Dragon is a Fire Dragon themed Eldar army. I finished the first two of six tanks, as well as a few Vypers. You can see a project log on Warseer:

Blue Table now has three unpainted Warhammer armies available: Skaven, Beastmen, and Lizardmen. They are unassembled current edition models (except the Skaven have a few OOP stuff). If you would like to commission them, the materials are 40% off. Email for details.

Imperial Drop Pod Army
We also have a rockin’ Imperial Guard drop troop armyâ€â€
