When it comes to 40K, there's different kinds of smarts, right?
For instance, there are people who figure out how to work list, almost with Machiavellian skill, then there are those who can look at a handful of spare bits from ten different kits and create a masterpiece.
And then there are people who aren't like that at all <raises hand>. I would consider myself rather pragmatic, a kind of "out of the box" thinker in day-to-day endeavors, but I'd like to think that I have a healthy dose of common sense. When I see a set of circumstances, I think more times than not, I will quickly evaluate the situation and then come to the conclusion that "that ain't right" (Texas technical phrase).
So what kind of person are you? Do you have the ability to evaluate a set of 40K circumstances and make the right decision?
Let's proceed shall we?

Now, if we were "in-universe", if you answered "A" to any of the questions, the Inquisition would seek you out and, um, "explain" your shortcomings. Also, if any of you choose "B" to any of the questions, you'd find out that the Imperium doesn't suffer cowards at all and could expect a visit from a local Commissar.
So the only correct answer in each case, was "C", which would more than likely get you inducted into the Imperial Guard.
Who says the Imperium lacks choices?
I think that's if for now, other than to say with the modeling of the Children of the Dragon pretty much finished except for an odd cultist squad or so, I need to start on something else.
Hobby-wise, I'm just wired that way.
So, I think this is what I'm going to be doing.

<reader scratches head>" Um...what is that supposed to be about?"
I guess you'll have to come back and find out. <smiles>
Also, my daughter is graduating from college next week, so I will not have anything to post next Monday.
Cheers,
