Goatboy's Sometime Post and stuffs

Man I will say this - getting sick sucks.  I got sick for a few days 2 weeks ago - then my wife got sick a few days afterwards.  I thought it was food poisoning but it looks like it was a stomach bug sort of thing.  Pain in the butt for sure.  It really kicked me down a few pegs on working so that is why this post was short with not much worked on.  But hopefully that will change in the coming weeks.  I also had my son's first birthday party - so that killed a weekend with family in town, mom in law in the house for awhile, and just no time.  Meh!

Ok let's do a paint list.  I am planning on knocking out big chunks this weekend to start on new stuff.  It never ends for the Goat.

Me
10 Purifiers - built and almost all painted.  I have 5 more to finish up with some colors etc.
Another 10 Purifiers to finish off the GK/BA thing
1 Drop Pod
Some illustration stuff as usual
Food Hammer Donation - Wolf Lord idea.

Alan
Chaos Stuff - once I knock out this DA commission it is onto some Chaos stuff.

Tim
Finish a Dark Angels started box and some Meltaguns

John
Some random Black Knights and a Chaplain Conversion

Don
Some other model company stuff.

Luis
More Necromunda and other stuff.

Carl
Space marine Bikers

Nick
Space Marine stuff maybe?

I am sure other stuff too as people ask me questions about smaller commissions.  A lot of the time I can knock that out quickly so will see.

I tested out a Dual Knight list this past week against my buddy Nick.  He beat the ever living snot out of me as I failed a lot of saves, he hit with all his deep strikes and just wrecked me with an Elysium build.  It was rough and while the army wasn't bad - it was just not prepared to get beaten up like that.  I have a feeling if I played less aggressive and protected my knights more - I might have done better.  I think that is the key with a Dual Knight list - keep them protected.

What I played - then what I would change too based on what I see in the meta.

Knight Crusader, Battlecannon, Storm Spear Missile Pod
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon, Storm Spear Missile Pod

WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Runic, Powerfist, SS
WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Runic, Powerfist, SS
Wolf Priest, Bike, Runic
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 4
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 4
Fenris Wolves X 12

I should have used the big blob to keep deep striking honest, hide in the corner and just shot stuff and came out after things came down.  It seems like it could work - but I can see some tweaks.

Since it is only a 2 source list I could look at adding in Inquisition with RAD and Psyotroke grenades.  It would keep some Deathstars honest as they have to worry about coming in and getting effed up.  It is a thought and I might test it more.  This list seems designed to put a hurt on Gladius for sure.  Knights with this much shooting can knock out a ton of guys if needed and being "immune" to grav might be worth it.  I do wonder if I drop down the Iron Priests etc - or set them up to fix knights if needed.

Knight Crusader, Storm Spear Missile Pod
Knight Crusader, Battle Cannon, Storm Spear Missile Pod

WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Runic, Powerfist, SS
WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Runic, Powerfist, SS
Wolf Priest, Bike
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3
Fenris Wolves X 10

Inquisitor, Servo Skulls X 3, Rad Grenades, Psycotroke Grenades

It looks janky but in a day and age of having a ton of Death Stars this is an annoying one.  You can't really throw into it due to the issues of getting screwed on the grenades.  Plus it still hits plenty hard too.  It is a thought for sure - plus the Servo Skulls can keep Gladius Scooting far away.

Here is the Updated 2 Knights list from what I played at Wargames con.

Knight Crusader, Storm Spear
Knight Crusader, Battle Cannon, Storm Spear

DA
Chaplain, Bike, Auspex, Meltabomb
Ravenwing Command X 4, Apoc upgrade
Scouts X 5, Combi-Melta
Scouts X 5, Combi-Melta

Wolf Guard BL, Runic, PF, SS

It kinda feels dumb but it could work.  It has some pain in there and extra scouts are always a help.

Gives me 6 Pods - Meph to go after Knights and Wraith Knights and plus a decent amount of melta as needed.  It is probably a really weird list but it will get done soon.  Oh and it isn't evil look so a win for me!

Alright enough crappy lists - onto some models.

Did a set of models for a wedding - this is an extra one, one of the guests wanted because they liked what I did.

Necromunda stuffs!

I have 3 more of these guys, attack bike, and a speeder left to do.

BJORN!!! he is gonna touch ya in a bad place.

Paint like you mean it.

Lots of Models - Trying to get stuff done.

Getting food poisoning sucks - took me out for a good part of the week and slowed me down on finishing art projects.  I got some painting done - but not enough to feel happy about it. So will see.  And man primer eating it sucks - need to clean off some dusting to finish some grey bikers.  Dammit.

Paint list
Me
Art pieces to color - 3 of them right now - some things to draw too
20 GK to do at some point
That is about it I think for me.

Carl
5 More bikers I need to fix the priming issue on.  Damn you more expensive Primer!

Alan
Chaos Stuff

Tim
More DA bikers - built 3 of them so far have a speeder, attack bike, and 3 more bikers left shooting to get this done by end of next week

John
More DA bikers too!!

Luis
More Necromunda stuff - have 10 primed

David
Quick single model painting

Don S
More stuff from another company - new paint style haha.

Yeah so lots of stuff.  It never ends.  The plan is to get a game finally this weekend.  I have not had any chance to get an event in due to the nature of everyone having kids during this time.  It means parties and birthdays and other bits of stuff.  I hope to get a game in on Saturday with this dumb thing cuz it is painted.

Chaos Space Marine CAD/KDK CAD/Black Legion Ally

It might work - it will look neat and it is immune to some dumb things.  So yeah!  Will try it out.  Hopefully I can get some info on the GK list - but I am trying to get that done before I head out to the Frontline Gaming crew to talk some art etc.

Sorry for the lackluster post - just tired still and want to get a bunch of models up.

Quick 3 character build.

Flesh hounds ala Vampire Hounds

Spell Jugger guy!  Just wanted to paint this model and made him useful

Woot dragon!  This is like number 17 or so...

One more Pod to finish for this lot.

Necromunda!

Zoom zoom!

Almost did the Post Weekly!

Woohoo - this weekend was a bit of a wash due to Mother in Law being in, wife having a rough week with the baby (cute little bugger is dancing to the Ramons right now), as well as the work week being long.  It meant no real artwork done due to the time frame but I have some from last week to throw down.  I got a few things to do this week too art wise so hopefully I can get it done.

Let's do a paint list
Me
Drop Pod 5 - primed the old one again to paint up to match the others.
Build 20 Purifiers at some point
Noise Marine Art
2 More pieces of Art for Luis
Art for Caleb for an army idea
Maybe something else?

James L
Heldrake - should be almost done tonight then this lot is done!

Tim
6 Black Knights
1 Speeder

John
12 Bikers of the Dark Angel

Carl
More bikers of the grey marine type

Will
More Chaos stuff

Luis
Drop pod X 2
more necromunda stuffs.

I am sure other stuff too - but I always work.

I am pretty much screwed this month with 40k events due to baby stuff.  So many people have kids in this time frame... that means that people were having some winter holiday action going on.  Woohoo!

But if I was going to play here are the lists I would throw out with.

List 1 - CSM CAD/Crimson Slaughter Ally/KdK CAD

CSM CAD
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Cultists X 10
Cultists X 10

Crimson Slaughter Ally (Works cuz of how the book is written but who knows)
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Cypher
Cultists X 10

KDK
Chaos Lord, Juggernaut, Sigil, Powerfist, Lightning Claw
Chaos Lord, Juggernaut, Big Bad Axe of Doom - Warlord
Cultists X 8
Cultists X 8
Flesh Hounds X 15
Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heldrake, Baleflamer

1850pts

Basically a big blob of dumb with all the rules that make it dumb.  It has some immunities to Grav guns due to its 6+ armor save nature etc.  Plus it has a Warlord that is hard to get rid of if the tithe starts working.  If Tau ignore a ton of cover then he isn't worth it but it is an idea.  Plus it has a ton of magic.  It might be good to have Force Staves in hopes to pop a WK but who knows.  The big squad will generate blood tithe as it kills stuff.  The dragons too.

List 2 - Dual Knight Star

SW Fenris Detachment
WGBL, Thunder, SS, PFist, Runic
Rune Priest, Bike, Lvl 2, Runic
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3

Dark Angels Ally
Librarian, Lvl 2, Bike
Ravenwing Command Squad X 5, Apocathery
Scout X 5

Knight Detachment
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon

1850pts

This is what I played at War-games Con with mind magic added.  It seems to help out in those match ups where making a Knight invisible might be really strong.  I didn't try to add in a Dark Shroud due to the preroll 2+ not having in ITC stuff.

List 3 - Super Duper Sharing Friends

Dark Angels CAD
Sammie - Warlord
Librarian, Bike, Lvl 2
Ravenwing Command X6, Apocathery
Scouts X 5
Scouts X 5

Clan Raccon Ally
Chapter Master, Bike, Art Armor, PFist, Gorgon's Chain

Rune Priest, Runic, Bike, Lvl 2
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4

1850pts

Another super friends combo.  Things that start to get nutty - one Unit is Sammie, CR Chapter Master, CR Command Squad, Rune Priest, Iron Priest.  The other is the Ravenwing Command, WGBL, Iron Priest, Libbie.  With the Dark Shroud near them - the Dark Angels get Shroud which transfers to the unit - thus the CR Command now has a 2+ Jink Save as well.  Plus they all get Skilled Rider.  It is a pretty nutty list too haha.  Just too big moving blogs of annoyance.

GK/BA List I am building

BA Flesh Tearers
Mephiston
Libbie, Lvl 2, Force Axe, Meltabomb
Tactical Squad X 5, Meltagun, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun X 2, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
Drop Pod
Drop Pod
Drop Pod

GK Nemesis Detachment
Libbie, Lvl 3, Big bad book of one more spell
Libbie, Lvl 3
Strike Squad x 5
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4, Daemonhammer
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4, Daemonhammer

This is a weird one - it might work.  Either way it looks good and gets me to make a bunch of Drop Pods.  Which of course will make me do more drop pods too for the other random army with Drop Cents.  Meh it is just a weird no cover nova nonsense.

Might try to get to an event this Sunday.  Will have to play it by ear.  If I did I would probably do the 2 knight list cuz I like stomping around with the Knights.  I don't think the new Tau thing is the best - but using it as an anti assault star unit with massed stomps from 2 guys might be good.

Models/art etc.

Goatboy's Semi Annual Sunday Post

Been busy this last week - I had all the bosses for my group in town and it was end of Fiscal so it was a nutty week.  Did so many damned orders it was crazy town.  It also meant I didn't get much extra work done.  It doesn't help I am not 100% feeling art today - so gonna take a break a bit and just paint models.  It also doesn't help my sweet baby is a sweet and whiney baby.  Just like his daddy hahah.

But enough of that - lets do the paint list on what will be a nicer week.  I hope anyway.

Me!
Flesh Tearers Assault Squad - Primed, started initial base stuff - I might be good at painting flesh tearers cuz of another commission
Reworked Drop Pod #5 - I need to get it back from a buddy but will be painting it up.
Kit bash a Mephiston.  not sure out of what - but it will be a cool sword guy.
Aaron's Art Work
3 Pieces for Luis
Maybe some other stuff - I think I have some things to do - don't remember haha.

Luis
2 Drop Pods - need to fix some to get done
10 Skaavies from necromunda - Primed

Carl
4 Bikers to complete a unit

James L
Heldrake to finish off this commission - will be done this week

Don
Some random stuff

Tim
6 Black Knights
2 Attack Bikes
2 Speeders - one Sammie

Jon
12 Dark Angel Bikers

Will
More chaos stuff

Nick R
More marines or something???

Probably some other stuff - but writing things down.  I did finish a commission last week - so good times.  The plan right now is to knock out that Tim Commission in 2 weeks.  I have to build the Dark Angels - and as I am the one building them I spend some extra time cleaning lines.  I can't help it.  Just like I drill all bolter holes cuz it looks dumb if you don't.

Played a Batrep with the Knights of Doom list.  I don't see what other changes I could do - unless I wanted to try and get a bigger unit.  I don't know if I need Tiggie cuz he can't give his Warlord trait over.  It might be better to run the Dark Angel conceal as it is bit cheaper to get a Level 3.  I don't get rerolls so that is the issue - but it might be worth it to not care about the rerolls.  I like the crusaders for sure - but maybe I don't need 5 - I could only use 3 and get some warrior acolytes to fill up the unit.  Get some more - throw away wounds.

It still looks like Tiggie is needed as I did the points.

Trip Lance

Henchmen: Crusader X 3, Acolyte X 5, Psyker
Henchmen: Acolyte X 2, Psyker
Henchmen: Acolyte X 2, Psyker

That seems to be the cleaner one.  It gives me more bodies to throw around the Psyker bomb.

Been tweaking a Clan Raccoon/SW list for a buddy.  I think it is pretty close to simple to play etc.

Clan R CAD
Chapter Master, Bike, PF, Gorgon's Chain, Art Armor
Chaplain, Bike
Command Squad, Bikes, Apoth, Meltagun X 3, Storm Shield X 3
Scouts X 5

SW

Rune Priest, bike, Lvl 2
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3

Seems good - you can do some tricks with all those Dev Cents by hitting 3 targets if you both come down.  Plus you can hide a scout squad in one Pod.  I played something similar to Railhead last year and did well.  I didn't have 2 Cents but it would have been rough if I could have.

Again my GK thing

Libbie, Lvl 3, Special Book

Seems like a spoiler list for sure.  Plus Meph can fight a WK and a Knight.  Go go Str 10!

Let's post some models and call it a post!

Woot Khorne Bikers

Even mor Khorne bikerz.

Test biker if I can remember the scheme I did before.

My Flesh Tearers for that GK army I am slowing building.

My pods yay!

Mephiston's Ride!

I haven't painted one of these in a long time.

Last pod for Tim.

Goatboy's Sunday Post

Sits at 1850 - but I just don't know about the Dreadknight - it does give me some help versus Knights and it hitting a bunch with its Strength 10.  Sanctuary up and it could survive.  Will see.  I don't know if the Heavy Psycannons are worth it either.  But I plan on getting it built and started.  Beyond that there is this Super  Thunder Dome I want to try too - Khorne theme cuz eff it.

Culexus Assassin

The set up is to allow me to have majority 6+ armor, then 4+ armor for grav - plus a ton of extra wounds and character nonsense to throw things around.  Plus it is friggin huge.  The Assassin rides around with me - tempted to just have one Drop pod by dropping down to a normal chaplain for the Assassin.  That might be the best or a rhino to go putz around.

Gonna play a Battle Report this Thursday - probably going to bring this as I am itching to play my knights.

Trip Lance / Inq / Libbie Conclave

HQ: Librarian, Lvl 2
HQ: Librarian, Lvl 2

I have 13 WC dice - lots of random rolls.  I could go Summoning but it is annoying to do that.  The Missile Storm thingie is gonna be good when Tiggie - gives them rending.  That is a ton of blasts coming at you haha.  Plus all those dang Stubbers are going to be a bunch of jerks.

Models and Art

I think dragon #15 or is it 18?  Who knows I got another to do for another client.

I added some wings.

Welcome to Droppod City - more coming.

This was an old junked up Libbie - fixed him up.

Speed painted storm

SPEEDERS!!!

More pods - one more to go - will do later tonight.
