Poaching an egg

1. if your egg is not kept at room temperature allow it to get to room temp.
2. get clean fresh water in a smallish pot for one egg, a dash of white vinegar and a pinch of salt to the boil, reduce to simmer, you want it just ticking over with steady bubbles coming to the surface 
3. sit toast in the toaster, not on yet
4. swirl the water with a spoon so its going around when the egg goes in
5. break your egg into the water placing it in as close to the surface as possible
6. toast down
7. when the toast comes up, egg should be done to soft medium
8. scoop the egg out with a slotted implement, drain
9. serve
10. repeat

Defiance Games hard at work

I'm trying out the new improved Blogger software with this one. Its all a bit shiny in the back end.

Defiance Games has just put up a picture of what they've been working on. Looks good so far. The presentation on their site is top notch. What will the figures be like? If you are going to do semi realistic figure like these where are the pouches and gear that hang off modern soldiers? This one looks like he's just jumped out of a vehicle where he's had all his gear stowed.

Some random Games Workshop paint jobs...

I've had the pleasure of having a fellow disciple join me in my workplace. I'm bad for his wallet as he gets all sorts of crazy ideas from me. Here's some of his painting and interesting conversions.

World Eaters Chaos Space Marine Terminators. All with lightning claws. All have the WE symbol handpainted on their right shoulder pad.

Looted Wagon with gretchin on the main gun. Steering? Aiming?

Dark Eldar Grotesques. Some lateral thinking here to avoid the one model pose GW has released.
