Sorry about the extended downtime. There were some issues when the site was migrated.

I’m working on getting the order of the migrated site corrected still, but all of our content is up and working.

Update: Post order is now working correctly. Thistle & Shrub Studios apologizes for the down time.

Site Maintenance

Update (April 15, 2007 11:48): All site maintenance is done. If you find a broken link or missing image, please let me know admin@thistleshrub.net

Update (April 15, 2007 10:35): All pictures should be restored at this point. I’m doing some tweaks to templates which may break parts of the site, but should be short lived problems. Sorry again about the site issues, The Admin.

The administration of the pictures has gone pair shaped and needs to be repaired.
The site will be up, but pictures may or may not be available during this time.

Sorry about the problem, hopefully this will be resolved by Sunday the 15.

Various Tidbits

Just a quick status of whats happening at the studios.

  1. Rodney and Thistle are working on Team Checkmate Hobbies armies. Both are top secret unit Adepticon ‘07

  2. I, shrub, am working on my Kroot Merc army for Adepticon ‘07 which may have pictures up before the big event. I’m also working on a commission center piece to go with an army that Navin at paintedfigs.com is working on.

  3. Our very own Freakshow sold off his Witch Hunter force and gained a commission to add to that force.

  4. We plan to add a wannabie Central Illinoisan from the Chicago burbs to our fun loving painting bunch soon. He’ll be starting on the reclaim an army project between his work on Team Checkmate Hobbies army work.

In other news Privateer Press has added the ability to order bits from their store. So if your looking for that perfect bit, you now have somewhere else to look other than Battlewagon Bits.
