BOOP BOOP BOOP!!! Update before Adepticon

Last night sucked ass at work so no painting for me. Something broke and it made the last part of my day pretty terri-bad. I didn't work on any cartoons or anything else. The only good thing is I built a 10 man Iron Warriors squad to go with the Rhino I did and pictured below. Woohoo.

So right now I need to get a crap ton of rhinos for my future 2 armies. Blargh!!! 2 more for the Iron Warriors and 5 for the Grey Knights army I initially built. I might drop some to make some foot stuff - but for right now I need em! So you can see what I am going for when I hit Adepticon. Look out trade bins - I am on the prowl. Beyond that I plan on buying 2 sets of Autocannon arms for my Psyflemen Dreads (FU YOU KIRBY!!! I like that name now...). Look for lists next week when I get back and start really going into terrible list building. I think I am one of the few ones that just loves tons of powered armored Dick heads on the table top.

The list I am playing at Adepticon should go up on Bols sometime soon so look for more cries of WAAC, asshole, or whatever else people want to say about it. There are not razorbacks, one normal Long Fang squad and one weird one and lots of other things. I kinda wish I could fit in a Wolf Scout squad but 1850 makes me mad. MAD!!! Can't wait till we go back to 2000 points and I can feel safe and sound like a new born kitten clawing someone's eyes out. ARRROOOO!!!

I don't know what I am going to play for the Alamo - I need to pay for it first - but it might be Grey Knights or Iron Warriors. Those two only. I don't feel like throwing anything else down as those are the two armies I want to play. Iron warriors because - it is Dreadnoughts and Dreadnoughts kick ass and Grey Knights cuz I like pretty new things.

Right now these are the things I am going to paint no matter what for the Iron Warriors. Things might change later on but these are for sure!

Ostrich Dread
Rhino
10 Man Ass Squad
10 Man Ass Squad

Those are for sure. I might tweak the army and get more troops or something else. Who the hell knows. I am just crazy at times haha. And no Sang Priest. Don't make sense and they can suck my butt. F EM!!! I might drop Death Company cuz I don't want to do another Death Company dread. So will see.

Grey Knights are looking at me painting lots of regular dudes. I think I need 6 boxes of regular guys and then whatever I can think up for Henchmen. I got some IG stuff laying around too so this should be fun. Crazy chained up Psykers too. I just have to hope that there isn't any Grey Knight Storm Ravens.

So that is it - will show some painted stuff I have done so far and get ready for Adepticon. After I get back look for Orks, More Orks, more Necromunda, some Iron Warriors and the start of my Grey Knights. Woohoo!!!

Sunday before Adepticon

Not really nervous - just excited to get a vacation into 40k fun. You all know what I plan on playing - Grammar Wolves! Woohoo. Full list will be posted on Bols at some point. No razorbacks either so everyone can shut the hell up haha. I also finished up some commission work this week and overall had a crazy paint week. This week will be slow due to just setting things up and getting ready for the road trip from hell hah.

Last week I did the following

20 Necromunda Guys
16 Hellions - Including the Baron
4 CSM terminators
2 Special Chaos Conversion dudes
1 Dreadnought
1 Rifleman Ostrich Dreadnought
Magnetized the rest of the Grammar Wolves
Drew one Plastic Dudemens.

A good week overall. This week with models already completed.

3 CSM Terminators - DONE TODAY
1 Ostrich Riflemen Dread Iron Warriors Style - DONE TODAY
1 Iron Warriors Rhino - DONE TODAY
10 Necromunda Guys - Need to build and prime tonight - I have done 150 so far!?!?!
9 Iron Warriors - Build them at least so I can say I have one full troop squad
1 Metal Old Dreadnought for IW - Might be the Librarian - Might just be the Death Company one - Not sure yet - Halfway Built
1 Plastic Dudemens - Maybe - I got an idea.

So far I have some interesting Grey Knights thoughts. Most likely a good core of 30 to 40 scoring troops. The guys are fragile no matter what you think of 3+ armor especially when you mix in that no matter what they are the only threat the army has. That is what I find interesting in all the lists - if all you have is Razorbacks then it is easy for the opponent to choose what to kill. I mean really - there is no bad option to shoot at as the range you have is short and it is easy to figure out the threat. Just shoot what is going to get within 24 and call it a day. Yeah you could assault them but really if you are seeing small weenie squads of 5 in a box then just shoot them. You can easily do 6 or so wounds and that kills 2 of them most of the time. Get that Justicar out of there and they are leadership 8 - welcome to Tank shocking for the win. That is just me. But hell I like to play full 10 man squads.

I am enjoying the Iron Warriors build so far. It is fun and it looks neat. Who knows how good the army will be as it is low on overall troop choices. Yes there are 4 but I only have 20 true scoring units and lots of robots. But F it I love me some robots damnit! Look for one more post on Wednesday before I go and hopefully get another dreadnought or two from the Iron Warriors side.

Another neat thing I drew on my friends Battle Foam bag. I just whipped this up in about 20 or so minutes on the bag. Markers are fun. I plan on bringing some markers when I hit Adepticon so if you want something give me a shout and some booze and I can sketch something out. Unless of course you hate it and me.



And of course some models to look at.





Alright that is it for now. WOOHOO!

A quick update

I will be participating in the Spikey Bits - Dread Knight Challenge - I got a fun idea so will see if I can convert it right. I have talked about it locally and think it could be just what the doctor order. And no - it isn't goat related at all. So poop on that to you guys haha.

Anyway the link has the rule so look for some build thoughts coming as I start to work on this after Adepticon. Fun times indeed.

And since this is a small post - current Iron Warriors future build.

HQ: Reclusiarch
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Extra Armor

That is my thoughts - woot woot. Ok small one - drank a few beers gonna go to bed. Woot - Adepticon!!!

Woohoo Wednesday Update

Adepticon, adepticon - coming in a week. Woohoo!! Can't wait. Playing Word Bearers as their official tournament. Will see how I feel about them afterwards. I really want to play Grey Knights so I will probably be working on those lists for awhile to find what kind of nonsense makes me feel good. I still think more guys is better no matter what. Just more and more dudes need to hit the table.

Look for more lists on Bols at some point. Then of course it will come here as I figure things out. Fun times indeed. I don't know how good the army is - they are just too small in a lot of ways or two fragile too. Just not a whole lot of targets which usually makes it easier for your opponent can "choose" better who to shoot or target. Blargh. But will see.

So quick update on where the painting is - I just have magnets to put on some bases to finish my Word Bearers off - as well as get my banner pole built and designed. The plan is to go on my lunch to Home Depot and grab some pvc pipes and connections. Fun times. Here is the banner.



Nick R

Not sure what I will be bringing tomorrow to the game store. Probably my Word Bearers to get one more game in with them. It is going to be a long weekend as I just can't wait to get out of town for a bit. One more wedding to go to on Saturday and hopefully Sucker Punch later that day and more work on project stuff.

I should get a new commission in next week - some Blood Ravens as well as hopefully some Ork stuff too. So a big couple of months coming for the Goatboy.

Grey Knights - I want to use Crowe cuz he sucks and I think I can make him at least work. Or at least cover the table with Purifiers and other jerks :).

Oh and some minis too!

Goatboy - Woohoo Sunday

This starts my week - I got another week after this and I am off to Adepticon. I want the vacation bad haha. And I guess I want to play some 40k :). Still working on Grey Knight builds. I think I got one that will fit with what I want - plus it isn't a ton of figures and no damned vehicles. F em - tired of painting rhinos for myself. I have wayyyyyy too many.

If you've been reading BOLS you saw my webcomic post up there. I got 7 in the tank, will probably do one or two more later on today. For those interested I used to do a few webcomics back in the day - if you ever read Broad Band My Ass that was me. I also did Little Ghosties too -

Little Ghosties Volume 1
Little Ghosties Volume 2
Broadband My Ass or BBMA

So read some old stuff that is kinda out there at times. The new strip should be fun and the plan is to not just do 40k, but other things that I find absurd in the whole miniature gaming thing we all know and love. Woohoo!

Weekly paint

Tomorrow talks about a Grey Knight trick I found. Will see how mad people get at me past midnight. It is a doozy of a trick so will see if it gets FAQ'd or it was meant to be. I even got a good name for it too. After that posts I will talk about my list designs that don't evolve the Vulkan of 2011 Coteaz. I swear I will hate seeing that guy other then killed all those t-shirt wearing punks he brings around. They drink all the beer, only bring Tecate, and eat my Ritz crackers. Damned Jerks.

Some models to look at and I am out to update Full of Monkey.




I know I know - but the model is bad ass looking damnit.



Until next time - ARROOOO!!!

Updates Smuchsdate!

Just a quick update - working on some things as usual. Let me give you an update of the painting.

Myself
Iron Sanguinor - Completed Today!
Iron Warriors Jump Pack Squad - Changed to Vanguard - 3 Left to do
Display Board for Adepticon - Small thing - will show it in case peeps are interested.

Luis P
Necromunda 10 Block - Completed!
Necromunda 10 Block - Primed!

Nick R

16 Hellions - Will be going over to his house and doing them on Saturday.

Michael S
Ork Bomba! - Getting Built

Jay R
Display board - Continue with the basing I did for him so he can finish his Death Wing Army

So all in all good on the time frame. I got some art stuff to do this weekend as well and some graphic design work to go to a meeting for on Friday. Plus the marathon paint session on Saturday at Nick's. Beyond that I am working on planning some new things - Podcast and a webcomic. So look for those. I will talk about it more as I get things together. I know how the fuck do I have all the time? I don't I just like to hear myself talk and think hahahah.

Look for display base pictures probably on Sunday. So if you want a nice small base to show your stuff off - magnetic too then I can give a price set on it. Usually it isn't too much as the basic material isn't too bad. It is a thought if people are interested.

Currently coming down the block
Grey Knights
Orks
Blood Ravens
My own Iron Warriors and Grey Knights too
My own Dark Eldar with the second wave?

Lord - I paint too much stuff.

New Test Iron Warriors in my Head - based on what I want to paint haha.

HQ: Sanguinor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Extra Armor

Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2

Pts: 1845

5 Robots, some FNP or repair action and 3 Rhinos that run forward. Vanguard Vets because I am a boss and I want em! I think it is cuz that jump pack looks bad ass and it makes no sense to have then as a 10 man squad in Iron Warriors. But hell this is all because I randomly painted one and had the "paint itch" after finishing it. Woohoo!

Pics for the week!




Woohoo and for those thinking about the Word Bearers - trying to figure out the price right now - most likely between 700-800 etc. List of what is painted for it will come but it is more then 1850 worth of stuff obviously. Email me if you are interested - Goatboybols@gmail.com

Goatboy - IN DA HOUSE

Last week was a good painting week. The only thing I didn't get done was build on the Ork Bomba but most other things I got done. Woohoo! I got more test Iron Warriors done, a test Grey Knight, and designed some armies. Woot. I will post the Iron Warriors build I plan to keep myself busy as I paint a clients Grey Knights in the test scheme I did for myself. As usual I don't work on my stuff if it is the same as a client's stuff. It just isn't nice :).

So without further Ado - the week List! I already did some stuff today - cuz I am a machine.

Myself
Iron Sanguinor - Completed Today!
Iron Warriors Jump Pack Squad - On the Sprue
Display Board for Adepticon - Small thing - will show it in case peeps are interested.

Luis P
Necromunda 10 Block - Completed Today!
Necromunda 10 Block - Metal!

Nick R
Wracks X 3 for Menoth - Completed Today!
3 Menoth Horse Dudes - In pieces
1 Caster - If Nick can get it for me to paint!
16 Hellions - Will be going over to his house and doing them on Saturday.

Michael S
Ork Bomba! - Getting Built

Jay R
Display board - Continue with the basing I did for him so he can finish his Death Wing Army

Currently I got some stuff coming in soon to finish up for other clients. More fun stuff in the future. Lots more Chaos Space Marines and I am currently in talks with getting an Ork commission. Will see if that one pans out.

Current Iron Warriors Thought List

HQ: Sanguinor - Wanted something Daemon Prince like and Eternal Warrior is the shiznit versus Grey Knights
Elites: Furioso Librarian
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Troops: Ass Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Storm Shield, Powerfist
Troops: Ass Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Storm Shield, Powerfist, Rhino
Troops: Tact Squad X 10, Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Combi-Melta, Rhino
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2

So yeah - just some robots and dudes. It probably won't work but at least it will look friggin cool. Current test schemes for the army.




I need to get some more dreads and will look at doing some kind of cool conversion with reaper autocannons and something to make the rifleman dreads.

Current thought Grey Knights are looking at Purifier based armies with some utility and other tricky bits. That is the current thought right now and what I plan on building towards. Will see if it works :). But here is the test Grey Knight scheme.



Obviously he used to be a Blood Angel that has been taken in by the Grey Knights. As I get more time looking at the book I will get more pieces done. I know I need to get a Tech Marine and a Vindicare. The Vindicare is exactly what this list needs and I can't wait to start making people mad when I get rid of their Storm Shield/Shadow Field/And whatever other BS thing I can knock off.

Finally a big shot of the Word Bearer/Grammar Wolves army. There are more minis but this is basically the end list with some small changes. Lots of dudes and guns. Cuz I like to go pew pew. I'll probably put it up for sale next month for anyone interested.




More to come later on this week.

It's Sunday!

The "beginning" of my work week. Totally awesome right? Well it is usually an easy day so that is good. Better to start off easy and shake the weekend rust off. This weekend was a long one. Friend's wedding that the wifey was a part of. That meant a long day waiting around for things to happen. I finished my book and started doodling around with an army list and more cartoon workings on my new endeavor. Will see if it shows up sooner then later. But all in all it was kinda meh weekend.

I did get some things done. I shipped off the Reaver as well as the Vampire. I also shipped off some small things and built a LR that needed to get done for this week that finishes off another commission. I actually painted it today so all in all a good time. I also "finished" my taxes and owe some monies. It makes me a sad panda but at least I have it to pay it. I figure that it isn't too bad and it just means I pretty much got all the money I should get during the year and didn't put it in a crummy "savings" account. Fun times indeed.

So lets start off with my painting list.

John H
Land Raider Redeemer/Crusader/Chaos build - Finished today!

Jens
CSM - 6 man squad - Finished!
CSM - 7 man squad - Primed
Random plasma gun - primed

Nick R
Menoth unit - need to build and paint

Luis P
12 more Necromunda Guys

Michael S
Ork Bomba - Started building - need to finish

Myself
Maybe a test 10 man Ass Iron Warriors Squad - Build/Paint

I plan on trying to get on the streaming TV this Friday. I got locked into finishing some things before going out for a BBQ/Fajita session with some old friends. He has some freetime so it is bro hanging out time. So will see. Hopefully I can get the lot of this done. It will feel good damnit :).

I keep thinking I want to play a Dreadnought list and the thought of the Iron Warriors paint scheme is screaming at me. Most likely that will mean Blood Angels as it gives me the most Dreadnoughts to mess around with. The question is do I go where my brain wants to go with an all out balls to the walls kill fest or go another direction. I will probably mix it up as I usually do.

Current list Thoughts - 1850 cuz people still playing that grrr

HQ: Mephiston - He is a DP basically
Elites: Furioso Librarian Dread, Fear, Shield - Neato!
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Troops: Ass Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Troops: Ass Squad X 10, Flamers X 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Troops: Ass Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield - Jump Packs!
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2

Yeah this is just an dumb extreme list. But it has a crap ton of robots which is all I care about. Man I am starting to dislike 1850 haha. Will I build it? Who the hell knows. It will really matter if I grab one of those dreadnoughts and paint it up all Iron Warrior like. If it hits me right then this bastard army will get built. That is just how I am hah.

Some pics!!
