My new physics TA is some kind of time vampire. She wants me to write my lab reports in a completely different way than the previous semester, make them longer, and introduced a new graphing system for data. I may end up failing this month. This weekend, the Darksun will be flying all over the place but no promises.

I will also be late but that's because I was hospitalized. (cue sympathy)

I may not be though.  I will however, be submitting pictures instead of in person because I'm kinda stuck in the house.

I will also be late not done because mid - january i said to myself "painting will only take like 2 days max" It takes a lot longer than that. And i have no idea on how to do basing. It's not looking good for the guard

Basing is easy, just spread some Elmer's white glue a little thinned with water on the base, submerge base into sand basing material.  Wipe off the edge of the base with your finger so the only basing substance is on the top of the base as intended.  Do it with all your dudes, then paint the basing material (once it's dry) with a thinned paint, calthan brown works well for this.

Make sure the base is neat and you are done.

Ok be honest guys who finished on time? I admit I did not. I fell short by 2 transports and 3 marines. To my understanding not every one fared well to get 500 points painted in one month. I thought of granting a courtesy extension or we can just call this the day its due and take it like men. What say the group?

In my opinion it would be silly to extend a deadline after it has past.

People may have worked hard to meet that deadline.  Why extend it to give the people that failed to meet it a chance at "full credit" when the guys that were on the ball get nothing for doing what they were supposed to?

I agree with chase and I barely got my stuff primed. I think deadline should stick for first 500 but could be extended for next 500

This tale of X is pretty bad when the person running it can't paint 500 points of marines in a month. Maybe you should just restart. Or call it...

Honestly, I've been so busy that I got like 7 marines done and that's all. I don't think we need to extend the deadline however. I'm sure some people spent alot of time trying to meet the deadline. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that failed. Haha.

I don't have an appendix, on pain medicine and haven't showered in 3 days.  I will finish today and take my punishment for doing so.
