Woohoo - Start the paint week
This last week was kinda bunk with just holiday, wife bday, and just taking a break. I got a ton of art to do this week as well as minis, so the plan is to get a ton of stuff done. Woot. So I want to write out the paint week I plan on having.
I started today again - as I had some random time as I hung out with my hung over wifie. She had a birthday yesterday and I am sitting at home hearing all the fireworks go off around me. It can be fun to live somewhat outside the city limits. But my huge dog is not happy hah.
Paint week plans!!
Chris C - White Dark Eldar you have been seeing instead of mine - Almost done.
Raider # 4 - Finished it today
Venom # 1 - Finished it today
5 Incubi - Finished today
Ravager #1 - getting it tomorrow
Ravager #2 - getting it tomorrow
Jens - CSM
3 Juggernaut Riders - Built and waiting to get primed
Patrick W
4 D&D figures - Based and built waiting to get primed
1 Drider - Based and waiting to get primed
Luis P
5 Necromunda - Hoping to get time to do these too
Me
4 Swiftclaw/Horse riders - For my new project. It would be neat to have the squad done
1 WG Horse Rider - Finish the first squad :).
So that is it - I am playing the 3 Land Raider list from BOLS this weekend so will see how it goes. In a week or two I plan on doing my big order to get the rest of my DE and all the pieces to my Word Bearers design. I tweaked the list to create more Daemon looking things in it so it might actually be good. I don't know if I will play it a bit and then sell it so will see.
Oh yeah happy new year!!! BAD ASS!!! This year will rock for sure!

Goatboy - it is Sunday
Just posting some project stuff. I updated some of the client section on Full of Monkey. I will be messing with more as usual. But that is for later times this week. As usual I started on Friday as that is my normal update day for Full of Monkey. So onto the paint list.
Chris C - White Dark Eldar you have been seeing.
Raider #2 - Already done
Raider #3 - Already done - did both of these late Friday night as my brain was just ready to paint.
Raider #4 - Just need to get it from Chris
There are 2 Ravagers too - so will see if I do them next week.
Jens - CSM
Juggers!!! - Built 2 - gonna build the other 3
Jason S - Ice Nids
20 Hormagaunts - Did these bastards today - this order is complete!!
Fritz - Mordhiem
8 Guys - Got to finish the last of this and this project is done. Woohoo!!
Luis P - Necromunda Guys
5+ - that is my plan man.
Art stuff - Some drawings for a Western Game - woohoo - gonna do lots of coloring on Wednesday.
Personal stuff
Test mini for new army thought - woohoo I think I got it in my head - just have to see if it looks good. A++ paint is my thought - might be my Adepticon/Geek Nation tour army. Will get a pick of it later on this week I am sure.
Once I show the model I will explain the list thought - I think it might be pretty decent as well as like good. That is my hope and plan right haha. I also want to draw some 40k stuff too.
Wife's bday is this Thursday and I might be kinda out of painting time - so will see. Fun times indeed. There is a tournament this Saturday too - so I might go play that. Not sure what I will play - probably a Space Wolf build but something neater. Not sure. No Thunder Wolves. Probably bikes. Probably this :).

Goatboy - Merry Xmas Eve!!
So Christmas is almost upon on and I sit up in my room typing this out. I am waiting for the Raider for a client I am working on to dry and I am about to do some building before I think about crashing out. Driving to In-Laws tomorrow with my wife, bro-in-law and sister-in-law. I think I need to add more dashes somewhere too haha. So what the hell is this blog post about? Welp I think I know need to play different stuff. Basically have my lists with odd pieces that somehow work.
I played a game versus John the Crazy Red Praetorian himself. He played Space Wolves too and I had a very optimized and mean list. Very little fat in it. I lost the game on a Redeemer spookin my Grey hunters off an objective. It was a fun game and a lot of stuff went badly for me as is the norm when I am goofing around. The odds in Goatboy's favor? Hell no - but that makes it more fun :). To give you an idea - I hit the LRR with 10 str 10 auto hitting punches. 3 glances and one pen. I blew off one Redeemer cannon and made the LRR very tired. But hell you got to have those games too - because if you always had awesome games - you would be living some kind of movie life haha.
Anyway so this got me to think I need to tweak out my Space Goats - and use the Bikes as I just had more fun with them. This got me thinking of different ways to build the list - getting more guys - more tricks and just overall more interesting bits. It has pieces from all the armies I like and I think it might be ok. And yes I am using Assault Cannons. I like em so you can suck it. There are times where they will just work awesome. And other times they never rend. Rolling more dice is always fun for me haha.
HQ: Wolf Lord, Bike, Saga of the Bear, Powerfist, Runic Armor, Storm Shield
HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike
HQ: Rune Priest, Murderous Hurricane, Living Lightning
Elites: Wolf Scouts X 5, MoW, Meltagun
Elites: Wolf Guard X 10
Wolf Guard # 1 - Power Armor, Bolt Pistol, CCW
Wolf Guard # 2 - Power Armor, Bolt Pistol, CCW
Wolf Guard # 3 - Power Armor, Bolt Pistol, CCW
Wolf Guard # 4 - Power Armor, Bike, Powerfist

Wolf Guard # 7 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist
Wolf Guard # 8 - Power Armor, Combi-Plasma, Powerfist
Wolf Guard # 9 - Terminator Armor, CML

Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, MoW, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Gun, Razorback, Lascannon, TWL Plasma
FA: Swiftclaw X 4, Power Weapon, Attack Bike, MM
So I got a lot of movement - Missiles that can move and fire and some good long range stuff. Plus I got some plasma which can throw out 7 shots in range if need be - which should be good to take out a big MC or something that might come to close. It also has some good elements in it. I didn't try the Mark of the Hunter combo - because I don't know if I need too. It is something to think about as I can obviously drop out one Grey Hunter squad and fit some nonsense in there. Either way - this is the list I am going to be tweaking I think.
I am also looking at building a Horus Heresy army. I am thinking Word Bearers as I am reading the books and the idea of scroll work and some other cool bits sound neat. Will see. But that is my thoughts right now.
I hope everyone's Xmas is good - and everyone has a safe trip tomorrow.
Some painted stuff - the chariot I didn't make.

Goatboy - New Week Start
Which means more painted stuff. I start my week on Saturday as Friday is my usual post on my paint site etc. So again a list of stuff that will most likely get done this week. With some things that are already done.
Chris C - DE - White/Red
Archon - Done
4 TrueBorn - Done
3 Reavers - Done
Raider - Primed and looking at me funny
Big Red - Khador
Doggie - Done
Jens - CSM
5 Terminators/heavy Magnet/Built - Done today woot.
5 Juggers - On sprue - would like to have them built this week at least
Jason S - Snow Nids
20 Hormagaunts - Just want to get them built this week.
Luis P - Necromunda
5 Random guys - Built and Primed
Fritz - Mordhiem
12 Crazy Dudes - Built and Primed
Myself - Space Goats
2 Wolf Lords on Juggers Plastic like - On a sprue staring at me
I played a game versus Big Red. He hadn't played Space Wolves yet and I wanted to take a mean build to throw at him to see how he would survive. He did a few mistakes and I won in the end. As usual I used my Wolf Lords on Juggers to keep him tied up as my Grey Hunters just got into business and caused some shenanigans. It is how a lot of my lists play. A unit keeps you busy for 3 turns as all the other pieces get into position to deal with the survivors. It works out pretty well as you expect your big fat unit to die - makes you play a little more aggressive which can put your opponent off. It also makes them forget the objectives a lot of the time.
I call this list - Mean and Clean Space Goats
HQ: Wolf Lord, Saga of the Bear, Thunder Wolf, Runic Armor, Storm Shield, Powerfist, Fenris Wolves X 2
HQ: Wolf Guard Battle Leader, Saga of the Warrior Born, Thunder Wolf, Runic Armor, Storm Shield, Wolf Claw, Fenris Wolves X 2
HQ: Rune Priest, Chooser of the Slain
Elites: Wolf Guard X 3
WG # 1 - Power Armor, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
WG # 2 - Power Armor, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
WG # 3 - Power Armor, Power Fist, Combi-Melta
Elites: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Wolf Tail Necklace, Cyberwolves X 4
Elites: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Wolf Tail Necklace, Cyberwolves X 4
Troops: Grey Hunters X 7, Meltagun, MoW, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 7, Meltagun, MoW, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 7, Meltagun, MoW, Rhino
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
So I get 4 Psuedo Wolf Lords to run around and lots of guys to get up and get business done when it is all said and done. It is pretty much a very aggressive list design to put some pain out as need be. I don't know how well it will do versus DE- most likely you will have to play a corner Long Fangs and reserve game. Will see. But this means I get to make 4 more new Goats on Juggers as I want to have all plastic damnit. I might rip off the guys on the metal juggers now and just build plastic juggers for them to ride on. The riders are plastic and I can go back and do some color tweaking to make them look nicer. I will probably do that with all the other goats too and create a nicer looking force.
Right now I am waiting till next month to put in my final order for DE. This should get me enough to get my games on with the foot army I want to play with. So look for more talk about that in the coming month or so. Reaver Titan is almost together and ready to paint so look for that jerk as well as a Stompa coming soon.
Minis!!!

Goatboy - Wednesday Post!
Woohoo it is my Friday. I plan on playing a game versus Big Red tomorrow and hopefully an Ork game versus Dark Wynn and his test Dark Eldar - lists will be below. The Ork is just a basic ork lis with the SW are a meaner list I want to test out for Adepitcon thoughts. Just to see where I want to go with it.
Space Wolves - Mean list to Test to see if I want to go back to Thunder Lords! So I will test bikes one or two more times
HQ: Wolf Lord, Saga of the Bear, Bike, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Runic Armor
HQ: Wolf Priest, Runic Armor, Bike
HQ: Rune Priest, JaWs, Living Lightning
HQ: Rune Priest, Murderous Hurricane, Living Lightning, Chooser of the Slain
Elites: Wolf Guard X 4
Wolf Guard #1 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist
Wolf Guard #2 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist
Wolf Guard #3 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist
Wolf Guard #4 - Power Armor, Bike, Powerfist
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, MoW, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, MoW, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, MoW, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Razorback, Las/TWL Plasma
FA: Swiftclaw Bikers X 5, Attack Bike, MM
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
There it is - lean and mean biker army of doom. I got some more ideas for Wolf Lord Armageddon but will wait on that until I feel like making more Plastic jugger riders :).
The ork list I plan on playing with Darkwynn is the following
HQ: Warboss, Bike, Cybork, Power Klaw, Attack Squigg, Bosspole
HQ: Big Mek, Cybork, Burna, Kustom Force Field
Elites: Lootas X 15
Elites: Lootas X 15
Troops: Nobz X 5, Painboy, Bike, Power Klaw X 4, Bosspole, Waagh Banner, Kombi-Skorcha, Cyborks
Troops: Boyz X 20, Big Shoota X 2, Shootas, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
Troops: Boyz X 19, Big Shoota, Shootas, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
FA: Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
FA: Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
FA: Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
Heavy: Battlewagon, Deff Rolla, Red Paint, Grot Riggas, Big Shoota X 2
Heavy: Battlewagon, Deff Rolla, Red Paint, Grot Riggas, Big Shoota X 2
Simple, basic and lots of boom boom. Will see if I can hit with rokkits and lootas. It is great when versus all the Dark Eldar vehicles orks have AP 1 Weaponry hehe.
Current Dark Eldar list I will maybe play :)
HQ: Baron Sathonyx
HQ: Haemonculus X 2, Webway Portal X 2
Elites: Incubi X 8, Klaivex
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blasters X 3
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blasters X 3
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Hellions X 20, Heliarchs, Agoniser
FA: Beastmasters X 3, Khymarae X 10, Clawed Fiend
FA: Beastmasters X 3, Khymarae X 10, Clawed Fiend
So a crazy pop out and scare you portal army. The other thought was just to do one portal with an Archon and go from there as he might be a better help when he joins the Incubi. The lack of Pain tokens might be bad - I just don't know just yet. I should play a bit and find out - but I am such a play only painted player now that it just hurts to test. I will paint it all anyway. But that is a thought list. Lots of annoying crap and things that run out and scare the crap out of your :). Muahahah.
And now some model pictures. The Hellion is my Duke. He is the Red Baron and when he dies someone else just picks up the helmet and continues on the legend of the Baron :).

3 more Trueborn - On Sprue
1 Baron Model - Got a cool idea - hopefully it will look cool

Juggerlord - Done!!!
5 Juggernauts - On Sprue
This is what I want to get done before the end of the week. Will see if they get touched as I am looking at wanting to finish some things up to ship etc. The Dark Eldar for Chris will get done. I think this week will be another - get some business done sort of week. I also want to draw a 40k thing or two also. So fun times.
Now to think of lists I want to play with. I need to do something different with my Space Goats as my own Dark Eldar will take a bit to get together. Blargh!! Played a game with Darkwynn and was about to give up but almost pulled it out. If VP were around I would have won it that way. Either way I just felt like I had no faith in my army list and I need to get something together. Something damnit!! Plus I need to build more dudes so I can always be painting hahah.
Pics of models that were done above.

Goatboy's More 40k Stuff - Lists I want to build and Play
These are lists that I currently want to build and play. Some of them are add ons to current armies and others are completely new - waiting on me to get minis etc and finish this off. Usually meaning I have to finish off someone else's army and then I can get onto mine for a least one paint day during the week. Mix this in with some art desires and I got a full week of Goat design. I also get to start on the reaver next week most likely :).
So without any further thoughts - some mental lists I will end up building at some point.
Blood Angels aka Goat Angels - Zoom Zoom Punch build
HQ: Librarian, Epistolary, Sanguine Sword, Unleash Rage
Elites: Chaplain
Elites: Ass Terminators X 5, TH/SS X 3, Lit Claws X 2
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Troops: Death Company X 5, Powerfist, Power Weapon
Troops: Death Company Dread, Blood Talons
Troops: Ass Squad X 5, No Jump Packs, Razorback, TWL Hvy Flamer
Troops: Ass Squad X 5, No jump Packs, Razorback, TWL Hvy Flamer
Troops: Ass Squad X 5, No Jump Packs, Razorback, Las/TWL Plasma Gun
FA: Vanguard Vets X 5, Jump Packs, Powerfist, 3 with Meltabombs
Heavy: Storm Raven, TWL Lascannon, TWL Multi-Melta, Extra Armor
Heavy: Storm Raven, TWL Lascannon, TWL Multi-Melta, Extra Armor
1850 - Doesn't start on the board and is coming for your throat. Vanguards hopefully come down - get Long Fangs or Hydras, or whatever. Heroic Assault should work 5 out of 6 games and hell it is fun. My troops are Meh - but really the BA troops are kinda meh when you compare them to the jack ass cousins of the Space Wolves.
Orks - Goatboy Redux
HQ: Warboss, Bike, Attack Squig, Cybork, PowerKlaw
HQ: Warboss, Bike, Attack Squig, Cybork, PowerKlaw
Elites: Burna Boyz X 10
Elites: Tank Bustas X 15, Nob, Tank Hammer, Bosspole
Troops: Nobz x 5, Painboy, Bike, Cybork, Power Klaw X 4, Waagh, Bosspole, Combi-Skorcha
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 20, Big Shoota X 2, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 20, Big Shoota X 2, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 20, Big Shoota X 2, Nob, Power Klaw, Bosspole
Heavy: Battle Wagon, Big Shoota, Deff Rolla, Red Paint, Grot Riggas
Heavy: Battle Wagon, Big Shoota, Deff Rolla, Red Paint, Grot Riggas
1845 - So I am playing more orks and I really wish I had rokkits over lootas so much of the time. I know the one random Land Raider could ruin my day, but you just have to plan carefully and make sure that you have something in range or in target etc. The burnas are there because it is fun to say, I hit 5 with a template multiplied by 10 :). Let see some 1's and 2's. Also charging into some Termies with the Power Weapons on can do some serious damage too. Either way it should be an alright list that lets me play with some goofy crap as usual.
Tyranid Thought Build
HQ: Tervigon, Toxin Sacs, Catalyst
Elites: Hive Guard X 3
Elites: Hive Guard X 3
Elites: Hive Guard X 3
Troops: Termagaunts X 20
Troops: Tervigon, Toxin Sacs, Catalyst
Troops: Genestealers X 10, Broodlord
Troops: Genestealers x 10, Broodlord
Heavy: Tyrannofex, Rupture Cannon
Heavy: Tyrannofex, Rupture Cannon
Simple - hopefully easy. The army starts off the table most likely - if not it becomes a big bullet. Termagaunts in front of Hive Guard in front of Tyrannofex - with Tervigons in the back casting Catalyst as need by. Genestealers outflank and I try to cause as much problems as I can. If you see lots of Jaws, drop one of the Hive Guard for Death Leaper. Either way - this list will take an hour and a half to play. More time for hanging out during an event.
Dark Eldar Thought build - there is another tweak but it depends on how making a Talos goes.
HQ: Baron
HQ: Haemonculus x 2, Webway Portal X 2
Elites: Blood Brides X 10, Hydra Guantlets X 3, Haywire Grenades, Syren, Agoniser, Blast Pistol
Elites: Trueborn x 5, Blaster X 4, Dracon, Shard Carbine
Elites: Trueborn x 5, Blaster X 4, Dracon, Shard Carbine
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Hellions X 10, Heliarch, Agoniser, Splinter Pistol
Troops: Hellions X 10, Heliarch, Agoniser, Splinter Pistol
FA: Beastmasters X 4, Khymarea X 10, Clawed Fiend X 2, Razorflock X 2
So all foot - portal list. I just don't feel like running raiders and I want things to basically say - oh you brought a lot of ML - sorry I got cover dawg. The only thing starting on the board are the two fat warrior squads with Haemonculi - who walk up 6, drop off a portal and call it a day. I found a neat thing to try and make another portal out of so look for a picture at some point.
Other changes could be to go with Talos versus the Beastmaster unit. The beast Master unit is a test thought but it might be a great - come out touch you as everything else moves around and gets into position to do something annoying. There is a lot of lance fire to pop vehicles as well as other options.
Right now I need to get the following to get this list done.
2 more boxes of Hellions
2 more boxes of Warriors
Dogs, Bats and other junk.
So not too bad - will see if I get it done after I finish Chris's Dark Eldar. Woohoo.
And pics too!!!

Goatboy's 40k Stuff - Dark Eldar Thoughts?
I am going to play something that is more foot orientated. I think it will give me a different sense or play and hopefully ruin all the other players long range fire support as I don't have much of the vehicles on the table top. So so I think. So without further thoughts here is my first list.
HQ: Baron Sathonyx - 105pts
HQ: Haemonculus X 2, Webway Portal X 2 - 170pts
Elites: Hekatrix Bloodbrides X 9, Haywire Grenades, Hydra Gauntlets X 3, Syren, Agoniser - 196pts
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blaster X 3 - 81pts
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blaster X 3 - 81pts
Troops: Hellions X 15, Helliarch, Agoniser, Phantasm Grenade Launcher - 285pts
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite - 240pts
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite - 240pts
Troops: Kabalite Warriors x 5, Blaster, Sybarite, Blast Pistol, Venom, TWL VC - 150pts
Troops: Kabalite Warriors x 5, Blaster, Sybarite, Blast Pistol, Venom, TWL VC - 150pts
Troops: Kabalite Warriors x 5, Blaster, Sybarite, Blast Pistol, Venom, TWL VC - 150pts
1848pts right there on the dot.
So it is a webway army - with lots of goofy options that come out. The two warrior blobs start on the table - and everything else is set up to do some surprise attacks out of the portal depending on where it is needed. The small 3 man Trueborn squads are sacrificial units as the Venoms are just fast moving annoyances that help me pile on the anti troop firepower that is needed.
Will this army work? Who the hell knows. It just feels kinda neat and fun. I get to paint lots of cool guys, get to use some neat bits and hopefully have a cool looking army. Now i just need to get a ton more warriors.
If the Blood Brides work meh - I can switch to some Incubi too if needed or change it up etc. Drop the Hellions and tweak it out a bit too. Still - barely any raiders/other nonsense means Missiles are just not nearly as good :).
Thoughts?
And some models - doing a Dark Eldar Army for a local guy so my army will be on a slow build till I finish it out. But I am doing 2 or so units a week - so the other army will probably be done in 2 or so weeks.
The World Eaters just has a rhino and 4 dogs left. Plus a display board - but that will be fun to do. Ice nids are almost done and look for some more CSM stuff and some other neat bits coming in the next few weeks :).

Goatboy's other 40k Nonsense!
So this weekend I played in a tournament at the local game store. I got in second with the Ork army I posted on Bols. I will be doing a write up there about it as I feel I could use some changes to help things out. It did alright - with two board wipes and a draw with another Ork army. So all in all good times. I do think I need to work on some orks - with Tankbusta boyz looking to make a come back as I feel I need something with more mobility. I also want to do some Burna boyz so I need to go through all my stuff and probably buy some burna bits to convert out a ton of guys who go around and say - so yeah I hit 5 with that template - lets make that 50 :).
So as usual let me write out what I want to paint as this is my beginning of the week. Well Friday is actually it - but I am writing it tonight :).
Ice Nids
Gargoyles X 10 - Built and Primed - bases primed too
World Eaters - Will probably just get the models done
Grey Hunters X 9 + Wolf Guard - Built and Primed
Rhino - On a sprue!
4 Dogs - Waiting to get them
Magnet all the bases - I got magnets!
Create the Display Board - I got the Board!
Chris C's Dark Eldar
10 Wyches - Done!
10 Wyches - In my Box ready to go
Jen's CSM
Jugger Lord on Plastic Jugger - in Sprue!
Fritz's Mordhiem
Dwarves - In a box
Witch Hunter Guys - In a box
Art for new Project!
And my stuff - Hellions!
That should cover it - the week after that starts my build out of Necromunda stuff for the Spain client as well as the Reaver Titan as I should get the finished build later on this week. I will be pretty busy for the next few weeks so will see what I can get done. Or so that is my hope. Tomorrow I want to get the World Eaters Grey Hunters done and the Gargoyles. Their schemes are easy and if I can bust out those two I will feel like I should be "ahead" enough for the week after.
I still want to get some more 40k art done as I got a itch to get some drawing done. So hopefully that will be coming up for people to check out. I am still also thinking of my Dark Eldar so look for more lists then too.
I can't wait for that Storm Raven as it will mean some Goat Angels will get played versus those damned dirty Space Goats :) - I got some ideas that go against the grain that a lot of players think of so maybe my version will work. If not I will at least have some fun with goofy units :).
Beyond speed painting articles any thoughts on armies? I play Marines, CSM, Orks, Dark Eldar, and have some Nid ideas as usual? So comment away.

Goatboy - It is my Friday!
Woohoo - it is my Friday at work! - I do 4 10 hours days so I have long work days but 3 days to myself. So I get a full Warhammer 40k day to goof off and throw dice or build models. My wife is still out of town so I will have another day or two to get ahead on the commission side of things. This week has been pretty sweet. Here is what is done so far since Saturday.
World Eaters
Long Fangs - Done
Wolf Scouts - Done tonight
Dark Eldar
9 Wyches Done - base building is next
Mantic Games thingie for BOLS - DONE!
Manowar - DONE!
CSM 10 - DONE!
CSM Sorc - DONE!
My DE
Reavers - Done!
Haemonculus - Done!
Tervigon - BUILT
Vampire - BUILT
So right now I plan on doing some more stuff - finish another batch of Long Fangs so that the only thing left is Grey Hunters, Dogs, and a Rhino to finish off that army. I need to build some Nid stuff too and then life will be peachy.
I am hoping everyone brings my orks back so I can get a Battle Report this weekend. People have been asking about orks and as I am one of the guys that has a fully painted ork horde it is up to me to provide some green skins to die to whatever I am up against.
I plan on formulating some speed painting articles soon - so those will pop up. Man I can't wait for the Storm Raven so I can finally play some Raven Goat Angels. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!
Some minis to look at too -
