Well, as I posted earlier in the month, I was hoping to get two tactical squads painted up for my Emperor's Spears Space Marines, get a short story submission into Black Library, and finish up some school reading.

How did I do?

Well, I almost have a tactical squad done. Just one. So on the painting front, I'm not too proud of myself.

I did get the school reading done.

And I just beamed-off my submission. It's a marine story featuring an Imperial Paladin (shown above, though he spends most of his time out of his armor). I like that the BL short story collections feature marines from some of the other chapters that exist only as names or painting guides, and the name "Imperial Paladins" fit with the plot of the story.

As per submission guidelines, you don't mail off a whole story. You write a summary, a synopsis, and give some sample text.

So that's what I did.

I'll post it when I don't hear from GW in eight weeks (which is how they reject you).
