The Second Coming of Citadel Paints

Posted on April 11, 2012 06:30 am by Grumhelden

Citadel PaintsOk, anyone who had read my main blog knows I’m no fan of GW and its current management.  I am however a massive geek for 40K and the Dark Angels in particular.  Today being Easter Monday, it was a quiet day at work and I nipped into town early to see my mate at his shop and swing by GW to possibly get a shot of the new Citadel paints…well, that was my 1st mistake…£70 lighter I have just got home and I am going to do a wee mini series on the second coming of pigment.  Read more...

organizingSocial networks, joining people of like mind and like interest in a new wave of understanding and cooperation!  Nonsense!  Social networks are actually a nest of vipers and unless you are very,very careful you will get bitten!  I spend hours a week deleting posts and dealing with private messages about one person or another’s perceived misbehaviour.  I spend hours a week deleting spam from forums and Facebook groups, I also spend hours a week dealing with the “helpful” suggestions from members and finding nice ways to say no.  You need to be fully aware how bitchy and petty people are when they are in groups before you undertake any project that involves organizing people into groups.  Its worse than you think.   With that out of the way…  Read more...
