CAUTION: Bonds Skin Instantly Now on YouTube

Welcome back dear readers and fellow hobby and table top miniature game enthusiasts. The new year is settling in quite nicely. Everybody in the miniatures hobby world seems to have great plans and lots of projects lined up. Naturally, Caution: Bonds Skin Instantly is no exception. What started out as a little personal blog has done quite well in the last year, with almost 20,000 views now, which I found quite surprising and inspiring when I learned. I do my best to keep the blog up to date and relevant, with quality content, photos, and articles, even though it is done purely for a hobby.

Happy Holidays

Hello Everybody,

I just wanted to take a moment from my holiday break to wish a Happy Holidays to all our readers out there. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, or whichever other special holiday you celebrate at this time of year, and that the New Year promises health and happiness to all.

The year 2011 has been very difficult for many of us, including myself and my family. But the holidays reminded us of all the wonderful people and blessings we have in our lives, and I wish only the same kind of blessings upon you.

To all my family, friends, and readers, thank you for being so supportive and caring. You are all blessings, and each and every one of you makes the hardships life throws in our paths easier to bear.

Thank you for your continued support and for returning to my musings as frequently as you do, and I promise to do my best to keep it interesting and informative.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Freebootaz Toys for Tots 2011!

Hello everybody! Once again the Christmas season is upon us. And once again, the Freebootaz, of the 40KRadio forum, are continuing their annual tradition of support for Toys for Tots!

Every year, since they have started, the Freebootaz, the 40KRadio forum members, have been running charity drives in the form of donating, building and painting Warhammer 40K armies to auction. This activity actually takes place all year long, as members decide what new army to do, dedicate units and models, decide on the painting schemes, and then spend the rest of the year up to the very beginning of December assembling, converting, and painting their donations.

Editorial: 40K In The News? Another Perspective.

Recently, I talked about an article written about 40K, the hobby, and the people, by a journalist in Greece, and the negative attitude that journalist took towards the hobby and the people.

Well today I offer an alternate perspective. This wonderful little video by students in the Film and Video Production program at SAIT Polytechnic, is chock full of interviews, sweeping scenic views of wonderfully painted armies and miniatures, and showcases a very interesting event that was run in Calgary in 2011, depicting the opening campaign during the Horus Heresy, in the Istvan system. All of this wrapped around with excellent production value.

Forgeworld News: Video History of the Rhino and Land Raider

Today, Forgeworld surprised the 40K community with an excellent new addition to their YouTube Channel, Forge World Visual Feed.

Land Raiders Being Painted in the Forgeworld Video

In this video they discuss the long and dedicated history of both the ubiquitous Rhino, and the Space Marines' heavy tank of choice, the Land Raider. They present a variety of models detailing the different marks of both vehicles, and revealing what Forgeworld has in store for the near future of their Land Raider Line.
