Goatboy - Wednesday Night RARGH!

Wow - I clicked this wrong haha. Ok to write up the post.

Let's look at my paint list and where I am at.


Paint List
Me
Big Mek Design - Done!
Plastic Dudesmen - Initial One is Done!
Random Thunder Wolf Rider thing - Done!
Write Monday Article - no ideas yet
Write Article about bases - Slowly building it up.
27 Shoota Boyz - Red Squad - Primed!
Test Necron Lord - Done!

Chris C
5 More Cryx Guys - Done!
6 More Cryx Guys - Primed!

David M
Annihilation Barge - Done! - Commission is done!

Luis P
15 Random Mordhim - 6 Done below! - 9 more to do that are Primed
3 Random IG guys - Primed!

So all in all things are going well. I will be working on Labor day so look for a ton of crap ton. Currently this is what I want to test on Friday. It is an Cron/Ork Hybrid designed to not lose games and hopefully win based on having more dudes on the table top.

Necron Main

HQ: Necron Overlord, Warscythe
Roytal Court - Cryptek X 2, Destruction X 2
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3
Heavy: Annihilation Barge
Heavy: Annihilation Barge
Heavy: Annihilation Barge

Ork Ally
HQ: Big Mek
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Heavy: Big Guns X 3 - Kannons, Runtheard

Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

It is a big mass of guys and I want to see if it works. I also might test some nonsense without the defense line with a KFF - but really the Defense line gives me a 4+ instead of the 5+ and if the Lootas go to ground, they get a 2+ and can still hit on 6's. Not to shabby. Will it work? Who the heck knows. It still looks extremely interesting to play with.

Lucky for me I can get the Barges cheap, it is just the two asshole flyers and the 2 boxes of awesome Wraiths. And of course with Chaos coming out I might dump this idea and move onto that. Will find out if it does come out in time for Feast or if I just scramble to paint up guys. The Ork side is almost done so that isn't an issue. I can always just play orks as well if need be. Tons of boyz all over the table top doing annoying things.

Alright - that is it for now - some models to look at and I am gone. Oh yeah - today is my 3 year anniversary with my lovely wife Katie. Lucky for me she likes me more then some of the commenters on BOLS hehe. We had a nice hang out day and will be going to Las Vegas next week. We saw Paranorman - which was good and just had a nice day hanging out. I got some time to write this up as she was talking to her boss. Plus I needed to get the Plastic Dudesmen colored up.

Models to look at.

Goatboy - Monday Game Report and Lists


Got a game with Darkwynn this weekend. He won due to secondary objectives. I might have tied but forgot to roll Reanimation protocols. The list I played is a mix on the one I posted on BOLS. Love how people just hate it.

HQ: Necron Destroyer Lord, Mindshackle Scarabs, Weave
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coils X 3
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coils X 3
Heavy: Annihilation Barge
Heavy: Annihilation Barge
Heavy: Annihilation Barge

HQ: Coteaz
Troops: GKT X 10, Psycannon X 2, Psybolt, Halberd X 1, Daemon Hammer X 4, Sword X 4, Brotherhood Banner

I played against Darkwynn's Eldar/Tau army and there was a lot of wonky dice rolling. Coteaz made 30 saves during one War Walker shoot fest. I also shot a lot at his Bastion with Dar Reapers at the top for awhile and the Exarch stayed around way to long. I think I did 30+ wounds to him as well and he made a crap ton of saves.

We ended up with him winning on Secondary Objectives. I couldn't keep a Warrior alive with Reanimation Protocols to save my life hah. But still - I shot a lot and made some nutty saves. If he didn't have that laser beam to shoot my Night Scythes down I would have flown around the board dakka dakka things all over the place.

The Terminators were poop this game. I just feel I need more guys and need to find some blob ideas. IG could always do good but I am liking Orks. I could go in two directions with them - either 60 boyz and a Big Mek or some Nob bikerz. I am leaning towards a bunch of boyz as that is a lot of dudes to get through as the Wraiths and shootie bits move around. I will be messing with this next.

This is the worst though - as it means I have to buy like 200 bucks in Wraiths. Or I could try to convert them up as well. I just like how the new models look and it isn't like the conversions will be any cheaper.

Paint List
Me
Big Mek Design - In Pieces
Plastic Dudesmen - I need to get a new one done
Random Thunder Wolf Rider thing - Done!
Write Monday Article - no ideas yet
Write Article about bases - Slowly building it up.

Chris C
5 More Cryx Guys - Primed
6 More Cryx Guys - Not primed

David M
Annihilation Barge - Build and Paint

Luis P
15 Random Mordhim - 6 Done below! - 9 more to do that are Primed

Minis! - Yes those are albino orks. I did one, it looked neat - so I needed to do 30. I might do another 30 too.







The Head is a Manticore head from the plastic Kit. Somehow it fit on the Wolf Body pretty easily with very little gap filling.

Lord I keep building lists


I can't stop. I think I need to borrow some minis and test out this Necron/GK build. It just feels interesting as it lets me play with a ton of stuff and well - it fits into my game mentality. What kind is that? Well I design a rock and then figure out what makes the opponent have tough decisions when playing this rock. So what is the list?

Necron Main
HQ: Destroyer Lord, Weave
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3
Heavy: Doom Scythe

GK Ally
HQ: Coteaz (cheapest librarian)
Elite: Tech Marine, Power Axe, Psychotroke Grenades, Rad Grenades
Troops: GK Terminators X 10, Psycannon X 2, Psybolt, Halberd X 1, Swords X 4, Daemon Hammer X 4, Bro Banner

This hits right at 2000 pts. Will see if I want to figure out more and add Immortals (like the model) or get some Annihilation barges in there. It has all the elements I like. The tech marine might get dumped out too for an Assassin. The idea would be an Adeptus Mechanicus Necron theme with the GKs. Or Evil stuff. Who the heck knows. Right now I want to do real Chaos not fake Chaos haha.

It is hard for me to think of new lists right now. CSM is just burning at the edge of my goat brain so I just need to wait. I keep thinking of the CSM horde army if it is true and the new models cost 14 points a piece. 20 guys running around the table top. My idea is

60 CSM - special guns etc - Undivided
60 Cultists - guys to die

And then whatever else I have left. Some Hellbrutes - dragons, and other nonsense. If the Havoks are really 13 points a piece - look for 10 man blobs with good guns as some of the missions will activate them as troops - big guns never tire or big girls don't cry as my friend calls it.

Paint list - obviously I already started it too.

Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Drawn and colored - need dialogue tweaks
Plastic Dudesmen - Script - want to draw it up
Banner Top - Drawn - need to scan and color
30 Ork Shoota boyz - 20 are done - Albino colored hehe - 10 are waiting to be primed
1 Rokkit Launcha - Built

David M
5 Old Necron Immortals - Done!
5 New Necron Immortals - not built yet

Luis P
5 IG guys - Done!
10 Mordhiem - Done!
Maybe more?

Chris C
5 More Cryx - Primed

With that involved I want to do some more art too so will see. I am getting ready to get some Boxed set nonsense so look for those to come up as soon as those boxes hit my house. Woohoo! Too much to handle haha.

Minis and some Sadness donut shirt ideas.






Shirt ideas

At Work this Sunday



So that means a random post in between a bunch of painting. Woohoo! Will see how much I get done. Currently this is what is in my box for today.

5 Orks - Albino's for the big shoota boyz unit
5 Old School Necron Destroyers - For the Red and white Crons for a coworker
10 Mordhiem thingies - Want to paint some up asap
5 IG guys - Again those need to get done too.
1 Random Converter Thunder Wolf Guy - Started and I want to finish it.

Will see if I can get it done. Currently with Chaos coming I am looking at doing a horde CSM army. Just as many guys as I can. Will see if it works - but it will mean I will have to paint up a ton of guys haha.

Right now - Feast Ork List

HQ: Warboss, Warbike, Attack Squig, Bosspole, Cybork Body, Power Klaw
Troops: Nobz X 10, Painboy, Cybork, Power Klaw X 3, Waagh Banner, Warbikes
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Formation: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

2000 points on the nose. My article for Monday is going to piss people off. It has some bad lists that will make people mad. I don't like them either but someone wanted me to abuse double force org and I did. Woohoo!

Other nonsense - there is an idea to do Necron/Admech with Grey Knights. That wouldn't be a terrible army to mess around with. Here is a thought - using Necrons as the main army choice.

Necron
HQ: Destroyer Lord, Weave - 140pts
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe - 165pts
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe - 165pts
FA: Canoptek Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3 - 240pts
FA: Canoptek Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3 - 240pts
Heavy: Doom Scythe - 175pts
Heavy: Doom Scythe - 175pts
Total: 1300

Grey Knight
HQ: Coteaz - 100pts
Elites: Tech Marine, Psychotroke Grenades - 105pts
Troops: GKT X 10, Psycannon X 2, Bro Banner, Psybolt, Daemon Hammer X 4, Halberd X 1 - 495pts
Total: 700pts

It seems like it might be decent - would look neat as you take a fully admech design to it. The GKT hold the center as you move up, shoot things, and move on. You could drop Coteaz for a regular Malleus Inq but he is there as the cheapest "Divination" libbie around. And if you can reroll wounds and hits that 10 man unit becomes a pain machine.

Other Combo ideas would see IG and Orks hanging out. This way you could utilize Orks death star bikes with some IG shooting and flyers. That could be good too.

I really like Deathwing as an Add on as well. Those scoring Termies are pretty hot and with the new lovely Models coming out soon we might see them added to a lot more armies. Hell speaking of those armies - that Chaos stuff is amazing. I can't wait to get ahold of them. That Hell Brute. Shit. I am looking at getting two boxes alone plus lots of other bits etc. Woohoo!

So with that in mind some art and models as well.

Tuesday Late post


Army list Wednesday. Blarh!!

What I am playing on Thursday I hope.

HQ: Warboss, Warbike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork, Bosspole
HQ: Warboss, Warbike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork
Troops: Nobz X 10, Warbike, Painboy, Cybork, Power Klaw X 4, Waagh Banner
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd

Formation: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

There is a temptation to change it up by doing the following.

HQ: Warboss, Warbike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork, Bosspole
HQ: Warboss, Warbike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork, Bosspole
Troops: Nobz X 8, Warbike, Painboy, Cybork, Power Klaw X 3, Waagh Banner
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shootas X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runtherd

Formation: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

The idea that the boyz will be better off without a Nob to take challenges. I could also look at moving away from the PK nob or just hiding them in the back. It is a thought and so will see. It does save some points. And that is a lot of jerks on the table top with guns a blazin.

This is a terrible list I wrote up a bit ago. I feel bad.

HQ: Coteaz
HQ: Malleus Inquisitor, Terminator Armor, Psycannon, Psyker
Elites: Purifiers X 5, Daemon Hammer, Psycannon X 2, Rhino, Dozer blade
Elites: Purifiers X 5, Daemon Hammer, Psycannon X 2, Rhino, Dozer blade
Elites: Purifiers X 5, Daemon Hammer, Psycannon X 2, Rhino, Dozer blade
Troops: GKT X 10, Psycannon X 2, Psybolt, Daemon Hammer X 4, Bro Banner, Halberds
Troops: Warrior Acolytes X 3, Razorback, Psybolt, Dozer blade
Troops: Warrior Acolytes X 3, Razorback, Psybolt, Dozer blade
Troops: Warrior Acolytes X 3, Razorback, Psybolt, Dozer blade
Troops: Warrior Acolytes X 3, Razorback, Psybolt, Dozer blade
Troops: Warrior Acolytes X 3, Razorback, Psybolt, Dozer blade
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Psybolt
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Psybolt
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Psybolt

2000 pts. It could be good. It could be worth a kicking to the balls. It is an idea. Blargh!

Man Chaos better not suck! I want to play that army so bad.

Woot what is done! Finished the Big Guns like a boss. Art and building tomorrow as I take a paint break. Woohoo!

The Grots are blue and any ork is red with some Albino jerks thrown in. In fact in the 30 man blobs I might make the Nobz albino. So will see. Crap I am tired as hell right now haha. I have to think of my article for Monday. Not sure what I want to talk about. Might be a hobby related thing instead of some kind of 6th edition nonsense. NONSENSE I SAY! Plus I want to work on my comic idea. I will try the Penny Arcade comic showdown thing they got going. The Reality web comic competition. Will see if I an get into it. I got a cool idea that is not just a funny thing. Woohoo!







And some banner art! Remember banners are $25.00 for those interested.

Monday - Well Morning



Woohoo - weekend wasn't too terrible. I saw the Master Pancakes Theater version of Conan the Barbarian. It is a local live Mystery Science Theater thing where they make fun of the move as we watch it. Saw it at the Alamo Ritz. Which I am sure for those people not from Austin means nothing. Either way it was a lot of fun.

I also got a new car this week too. I got myself and my wife a Fiat. Yup I got the hipster car. I wanted to get a better gas efficient car and the Fiat's had the right price. I will get some pics once I get the vinyl nonsense I want done on it. I am thinking some kind of black tentacles to match the red exterior and the red/black interior. I love me that tentacle shit.

Beyond that I will have some Sadness Donut shirts coming soon. Working on finding a good print on demand place that isn't too terrible. It will be brown shirts with a pink donut as it just seems to fit. I got two ideas and maybe a third for it so wait for those things to pop up. I also did a new banner for a guy and I am just waiting to see if he likes it. I want to work on some more art stuff as I went ahead and busted out 3 Plastic Dudesmen this past week. Woohoo! I need to get some dialogue fixing done but the art and coloring are finished. Woohoo!

This week started today so let's start the paint list and then my current Feast list if Chaos doesn't make it in soon enough.

Paint
Me
Plastic Dudesmen Fix - Tweak and fix!
Ork Big Guns X 3 - One set is done - other 2 are primed

Jens

10 More Stuff? - Will see

David M
New Local guy - Necrons
Night Scythe 1 - Done!
Night Scythe 2 - Waiting to get it
Triach Stalker - Maybe Build it this week?

That should be it for now. I bet I tweak a bunch of Shoota boyz for the army lower. I need to redo their skin tone.

Army List for Feast

HQ: Warboss, Warbike, Bosspole, Attack Squig, Power Klaw, Cybork
HQ: Warboss, Warbike, Attack Squig, Power Klaw, Cybork

Formation: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

2000 points on the nose. Will it work? Who the hell knows. Will there be issues with Psychic Powers? Probably. Who the hell knows. It just feels right in my head right now. Will see if it stays that way.

Minis to check out.








Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Late Tuesday!


Woohoo - another update. Lists and more lists. Woohoo! Can I get 6th edition to purr like an angry kitten? Who the hell knows. I did get my new Nob Biker unit finished! Woohoo! And another commission came in that will be different.

Right now - this will be coming to a table top. I need to figure out more boyz - but this is it so far. Of course I could just be treading water as I try to figure out some nonsense.

Warboss, Bike, Attack Squigg, Bosspole, Cybork, Power Klaw
Nobz X 10, Warbikes, Painboy, Power Klaw X 4, Waagh Banner, Cybork
Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Big Choppa, Bosspole
Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Big Choppa, Bosspole
Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Big Choppa, Bosspole
Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
Big Guns X 3, Kannon X 3, Runtherder
Big Guns X 3, Kannon X 3, Runtherder

Fortification - Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

1990 on the nose. It ain't to shabby and has lots of stuff I like. Now of course I could always go in this direction if I wanted too.

IG/Ork Combo

IG
Company Command - Master of Ordinance
Marbo
Infantry Platoon
Command Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle, Med Pack
Infantry Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle
Infantry Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle
Infantry Platoon
Command Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle,Med Pack
Infantry Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle
Infantry Squad - Mortar, Sniper Rifle
Vendetta

Manticore
Manticore

Orks
Warboss, Warbike, Power Klaw, Bosspole, Cybork, Attack Squigg
Nobz X 10, Warbikes, Cybork, Painboy, Power Klaw X 4, Waagh Banner

Fortifications - Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Yeah this could be annoying. Super mean. But I bet I kill a lot of my orks with the nonsense I try to pull. Either way I got lots of ways to cause pinning and special targeting with the Mortars and Ordinance. Like a jerk I am!

Right now it is hard for me to really think with CSM coming. Even if the book is meh I will still want to play it. Blargh.

Plastic Dudesmen is drawn - need to finish it up tomorrow night so it can get reviewed. I drew another one as well so I will be a bit ahead of the game me thinks. Or so that is the plan. I also have been cleaning up stuff. Beyond that - tomorrow I should come home with a new car so will see. Something better on the gas and the wallet. Woohoo - making room for the upcoming releases hahaha.

Alright that is it for now.

Minis done so far! Yeah I know - 2 days.

Woohoo - 170 followers


And it's Sunday. Woohoo!

Current thought list for Feast no Allies. Want to test it out.

HQ: Warboss, Bike, Power Klaw, Bosspole, Cybork, Attack Squig
HQ: Warboss, Bike, Power Klaw, Bosspole, Cybork, Attack Squig
Troops: Nobz X 5, Painboy, Waagh Banner, Power Klaw X 2, Bikes, Cybork

FA: Dakka Jet, Supa Shoota X 3, Fighta Ace
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runt Herd, Grot Prod
Heavy: Big Gunz X 3, Runt Herd, Grot Prod

Pts: 1995

This idea is just lots of guys and hard ways to get rid of stuff. Plus I got some zooming jerks to fly around as well as some guns. The only other thought would be to get an Aegis defense line in there. It's an idea.

If not orks then it will be Chaos plus something. Who the hell knows. I just need to wait on the book damnit. I hope I have time to finish it all.

I am going to be doing some Sadness Donut shirts this week. I will see about getting them on a Print on Demand place so people can get them if they want. Beyond that I am also looking at getting a new car for myself and my wife. Will see if it works out that way. I am looking at some Fiats because I want something good on the gas and decent enough. Plus Katie loves the red one. Will see if it ends up working out.

Paint List

Me
Warboss on a Bike - Need to build and design, etc
Plastic Dudesmen - Need a script
Charity Unit - Plague Marines - Done!

Jens
5 Hellions - Done - Unit of 10 is done
2 Venoms - 1 is done and 1 is Primed

Luis

And Painted stuff!
