Weekly Update

Last Week at Wargaming Tradecraft

April Fools!!! http://www.wargamingtradecraft.com/2012/04/do-red-ones-go-fasta-age-old-question.html

Been under the weather this week, so while I did some painting, but between that and photoshopping the April Fools post, didn't get any WIP shots up. I did finish my first Warlock though, so I'll get that up in a few days... and a discussion on coping with failure.

In the meantime, I decided to catch up on going through some backlog, so there's some quality stuff in todays Weekly Update.
