		<title>Goaliejack Luongo! aka Go Canucks Go!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the tale of how one unassuming little warjack grew up to be one of the best goalies in the world. Warning: this post contains conversions, sculpting, hockey talk, and may contain traces of Canucks fanaticism. As well as being a miniatures enthusiast, I’ve been a Vancouver Canucks fan for 18 years now – [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dreaming of Lock and Load &#8211; Spriggan WIP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I sat down this Saturday determined to make up for a few days of non-painting. Not counting Sunday, I have managed to maintain an average of an hour a day of painting. We&#8217;ll see if it turns out to be enough, or will I have to step it up? The Spriggan (started here) got a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A bunch of the Vancouver folks are heading down to Privateer Press&#8217; Lock and Load in June and I eagerly signed up with them. I have always regretted not participating in gaming conventions, so this year I decided I&#8217;d seize the opportunities rather then hem and haw until it was too late.

		<title>A Reasonable Dream part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our last installment, we heard about the beginning of my journey towards trying to get 100 points of my Cygnar army painted in 3 months, ending roughly at the halfway mark with a pitiful 5 models painted, out of 58 that I had planned to paint. Whoops. Shortly after that point, a Warmachine/Hordes league [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Reasonable Dream part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In late 2010, the staff at Privateer Press (the makers of Warmachine and Hordes) had an in-house “Impossible Dream” challenge, in which they each attempted to paint a 100 point army within one month. When I heard about that, I thought to myself: “Self, I think I’d like to try that.” I tossed the idea [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing Sharkie the Sharkjack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I was looking at my partially assembled Devastator and imagining terrorizing women and children my opponents while pushing around a jack with a shark fin and teeth painted on it. In my minds eye, these faceless foes cowered in abject terror as a uttered such battle cries as &#8220;LAND SHARK!&#8221; and [...]]]></description>
