Much has transpired this last year!

I think it is obvious to anyone who bothers to look at this space that I haven’t updated it in quite some time. The forum associated with this site is used primarily by my close friends to organize games we play and share information that is best kept private.

With the success of The Independent Characters Warhammer 40k Podcast, most of my time that I was using for updates here has gone by the wayside and the site has become a test bed of sorts for updates that I might make to The IC’s site. So that I break it here – but not there – where we get a TON more traffic.

However, I am now moving into uber-build/paint mode for the Hobby Progress Challenge that we have announced and are doing on The IC’s.

If you are a listener of the show, and let’s be honest, you probably wouldn’t be here if you weren’t listening there, then you know I am currently working on an Ultramarines Army. You can find out all of the details as to why (Ultramarines) in Episode 31. Which is going to launch tomorrow actually…

I have been looking at this site for quite some time now and trying to figure out what to do with it – and I think I will continue to keep it live and use it to track my progress (mainly for myself) of my work on the Ultramarine, the upcoming Space Wolves, and the Thousand Sons army. Not to mention my Chaos Warhound Titan!

Space Wolves you say? Carl, I thought you were selling those!?

Well I WAS, until I am across a little book called “Battle of The Fang” By Chris Wraight. Holy shit this is a good book. The portrayal of the Thousand Sons and the Space Wolves really got me excited about doing both armies. Why is there always so much fun to do and so little time to do it in?

So I have pulled my Space Wolves off the market, though I really only sold a couple of pieces before getting too lazy to put them up on Ebay, and I will be investing in them, likely later in the year.

Anyway – I think you can probably expect some more information to come up here from time to time (if you are really interested), but The Independent Characters will continue to be my main outlet for hobby and gaming informtion. This will be much more of a personal blog and update on thoughts I have that are separate from the show going forward. You may notice (though doubtful!) that a couple of posts have disappeared. These were posts testing features that we either decided to put into The IC’s site – or just not pursue. So if your comments were there and removed – I apologize!

Carry on the fight!
