Blessed Bolt Thrower is back!

Hey all!,

This is your friendly writer, the Blessed Bolt Thrower, returning to give you some exciting updates on what to look out for in the next few months.  I talked with Big Red from Bell of Lost Souls and we're going to work with him on a collaboration with my boys & girls down in Austin to help deliver the best hobby blog I can.  I will need your support...and a solution to having a kinda crappy camera.  But little camera that could and I will try as best as we can :)

Articles forthcoming:
   *  Thinning your paint:  Chunky monkey is an ice cream flavour NOT a painting technique.
   *  Priming 101:  Primer is for undercoating not for base coating!
   *  Cleaning our models: Plastic v. metal v. resin
   *  Stripping paint:  Oops we did it again... lets hit the redo button!
   *  Dirt, basing, and you!
   *  Green stuff basics
   *  Green stuff and basing uses!

  Also coming up we had a VERY unique thing happen here in the Detroit area.  I had 8 friends come up to me and say "We're all friends... can you... show me how to paint this; fix this; use this; play this; not feel like a total noob"... YES!  the answer is yes :)

  So jokingly I said, well when World Steam Expo is over in May lets call the SE Michigan War Council to council here at the house for a barbeque and a meeting...and I think the name stuck.  So my little Hobbylings have a name.  heh.  I will be making another page just for their progress and linking it back so we can follow the campaign and whatnot.  Likewise I will be doing that with the council of Rust as well.

  The SE Michigan War Council will be a mini blog dedicated to giving veteran hobbiests a template to roll by to help get their friends together.  It is focused on taking people who have desire to learn and have never played and also people that used to play many many rules editions ago and bringing them together to put THEIR hobby in THEIR hands.

  The link is in the side bar.  Feel free to check it out sometime :). It's kicking off in June but there's no harm in preparing.
