Sorry for lack of weekly post

I have been in a busy bee mode. I got a client order to finish and my Grey Knights so I can be ready for next month's tournaments. I am one squad from getting done with Grey Knights (7 Purifiers) and the list will be ready to rock this Thursday for hopefully a video battle report. Woohoo!

I also have 2 more things to paint for the Blood Ravens to get done - after that it is Speed Freaks for a client, CSM for a client, some small stuff, and HEREOS OF ARMAGEDDON stuff! So more Orks. So look for more and more orks coming out of the wood works as I look to get the troops settled with a massed amount of boyz to hit the table top. That is my plan.

In sad news I won't be going to Britain this year. Things didn't pan through but we are shooting for next year. I know disappointing but it is life. It just means I get vacation time again to go to other events. I am looking at trying to hit the Nova this year as well as some other ones around and about. Will see if I can swing the plane ticket and other things. I will be at the Alamo GT this May 14-15th as well as the ATC the weekend after. So if you want some drawing on your bag I will be around there :).

Lets start the paint list. I already started today so there will be some done pieces on there.

So that is my plans for this week. I had to work Saturday so I am off Wednesday through Saturday this next week. I got a day to spend with the Wife on Wednesday. Woohoo!! Soon it will get to the point here in Texas where I will be swimming more. I didn't do a lot last year and I want to change that this year. Get my fat ass to lose some weight damnit. Haha. I have started running so hopefully it will continue to slowly drop off.

Here is my "finished" GK build I plan on having this week.

HQ: Crowe
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Psycannon X 2, DH, Halberds X 4, Rhino, Searchlight
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Psycannon X 2, DH, Halberds X 4, Rhino, Searchlight
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Psycannon X 2, DH, Halberds X 4, Rhino, Searchlight
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Incinerators X 2, DH, Halberds X 4, Rhino, Searchlight
Troops: GKT X 10, DH x 2, Halberds X 7, Bro Banner, Psycannon X 2, Psybolt Ammunition
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannons x 2, Psybolt
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannons x 2, Psybolt
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannons x 2, Psybolt

Woot - will see if it works. It is boring looking but it fits with what I want to play - mostly fearless :). I am going to eventually start on the henchmen options after awhile. Will see how it goes.

I did finish my Iron Warriors army too. Woot - was machining through those guys to get this ready to play. I got one game in with Matt and his Black Templar. After a lovely bout of rolling with Sanginour (5 Storm Bolter wounds and 3 1's later the termies are left without anything to do) I took it in the end. Matt missed I think with almost every lascannon. We messed up a rule with a Blood Taloned dreadnought and that probably took the game. We forgot we need to roll for each wound that goes through the storm shield before I get more attacks etc - so there was a chance my Blood Taloned Dreadnought might have not go through another troop choice. Either way it was a good game and I think the army is pretty sound overall. Yes there are 3 of the same Heavy Choice but everything else is "different" in how they are built. Here is the list as is.

HQ: Sanguinor the Faulty Armor
HQ: Librarian, Jump Pack, Preferred Enemy Power, Blood Lance
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Librarian Dreadnought, Wings, Shield of Sang
Troops: Assault Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield
Troops: Assault Squad X 10, Meltagun x 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Troops: Assault Squad X 10, Flamer x 2, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2

Here are the pics of the final troop choices too.





Onto some mini painting!! The Word Bearers are still for sale - $800.00 bucks gets you a big army that looks good as well as the foam for the 1850 I played at Adepticon. Woohoo! Shoot me an Email if you are interested.







I will post more later on this week as I get ahead on things and get more builds done. As well as a Heroes post. Woohoo!

Goatboy - It is Sunday

So I got my weekly - what the hell am I painting!!! Woohoo!! I got a crap ton done last week. I painted 6 rhinos - 4 for myself 2 for a client. I am in a mad dash to get my Grey Knights done as well as a clients who wants to have his army when he gets back from leave. Fun times indeed! One is Grey Knights and the other is Blood Ravens as Blood Angels. Woohoo! Red armies are fun hahaha.

Current Paint list!

John B - Blood Ravens
Assault Squad # 1 - Done!
Baal Predator # 1 - Pieces
Baal Predator # 2 - Pieces

Me - Grey Knights/Iron Warriors
Build Last Iron Warriors Troop choice - In Pieces
Purifiers # 1 - Waiting to get final pieces
Purifiers # 2 - Waiting to get final pieces
Dreadnought # 3 - Done!

Luis P
Necromunda - 10 More dudes - Primed!

Michael S
Ork Bomba - Just need to put a few more bombs and then rivet the entire damned thing!

I have some Speed Freaks stuff to do for a client as well as some CSM stuff and other CSM stuff. Lots and lots of things to do hah. Plus the Heroes of Armageddon thing which is going to get started on in a few weeks when I get the rush orders done. Fun fun fun. Plus I need to do more Plastic Dudesmen.

I have decided to just do a simple Grey Knight list. Crowe plus friends. I keep trying to get in tricks and I keep saying - screw that go simple at first and then mess with tricks later on. I am not sure about the book as I feel it is kind boring overall. Will see - I do like the models and the overall shooting + assault mix that makes me smile. So will see.

Current 2000 pt list.

HQ: Crowe - 150pts
Elites: Vindicare - 145pts
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Psycannon X 2, Daemon Hammer, Halberds X 4, Rhino - 241pts
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Psycannon X 2, Daemon Hammer, Halberds X 4, Rhino - 241pts
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Incinerator X 2, Daemon Hammer, Halberds X 4, Psybolt, Rhino - 241pts
Troops: Purifiers X 7, Incinerator X 2, Daemon Hammer, Halberds X 4, Psybolt, Rhino - 241pts
Troops: GKT X 5, Psycannon, Halberds X 2, DH, Bro Banner, Justicar Thawn - 325pts
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Pysbolt Ammunition - 135pts
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Pysbolt Ammunition - 135pts
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2, Pysbolt Ammunition - 135pts

The list is super meat and potatoes. It just has a lot of boots on the table. I had the 75 points left so I just upgraded one guy to Thawn as a way to get another scoring unit that can just sit on the table after dying once. I am not sure if it is worth it and you never know I might change it out to some other Elites choice or look at the Venerable Dreadnought as an option at that level with a much needed Multi-Melta. Lots of different things to think about.

So enough of that - some painting stuff I did plus some art!



Again if you want some banner/blog art the flat cost is usually $25.00 for most things. If it gets complicated it can be more - but most of the time it is a hard flat $25.00







That is it for now - look for more stuff later on this week

Goatboy - This week is going to be a big one

I had just gotten back from Adepticon and I have started on my missions to complete 3 armies in a few weeks. I am almost there with one army, got all the pieces for another army, and waiting on more pieces for the final army. Woohoo - plus I did a ton of art last week. Most cost for a drawing for your blog title etc is $25.00 - more complicated stuff goes up a bit more but most of the time it is a flat $25.00 bucks. Time frame is usually a few days depending on what I have to draw for the week. But first art.





Woohoo had a productive Saturday to get all of that done. I also did a Grey Knights Dreadnought and the final Ostrich Dread from the Iron Warriors build. I am currently waiting on the heads from Pig Iron Productions. I order two sets so I got enough heads to do any other weird things I feel like for the army. I am one troop and something else to finish the list out. Not sure what I can add as all the Elites and Heavies are taken up and I only got 115 points and I don't want to go to nutty and try to find a mini. I do have a Baal sitting in a box so that might get Iron Warriored/Chaos up.

Here is the stuff I finished for the Iron Warriors this week.






Current Shell Iron Warriors list

HQ: Sanguinor
Elites: Furioso Librarian Dreadnought, Wings, Shield
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Blood Talons, Extra Armor
Elites: Furioso Dreadnought, Extra Armor
Troops: Assault Squad X 10, Meltagun X 2, Power Fist, Storm Shield
Troops: Assault Squad x 10, Meltagun X 2, Power Fist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Troops: Assault Squad x 10, Meltagun X 2, Power Fist, Storm Shield, Rhino
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2

It sits at 115 pts left if I remember correctly. I could drop the Meltaguns from the last squad and go with Flamers and get a jump Librarian to try and Blood Lance/Fear the Darkness things. I think that might be the best actually. Thoughts?

Finally my paint list for the week. I have already started obviously

Me
Grey Knight Terminators X 5 - Completed Today
Grey Knight Terminators X 5 - Waiting on Order
Grey Knight Dreadnought TWL Autocannons - In pieces
Dreadknight Start build for Spikey Bits Blog - yes I did get it from Rob :)
Finish Plastic Dudesmen Comic
Work on Wyatt Written Dudesmen Comic

John B

Blood Ravens Rhino - In Pieces

Michael S
ORK BOMBA - I brought it with me today to mess with - 75% built

Luis P
Necromunda X 10 - Primed!
Necromunda X 10 - In Pieces

Heroes of Armageddon
Get the Pieces together to ship and have built and start process of planning

The Blood Ravens is going to be a project I need to finish by the end of the month/first week of May. The client is going to be on leave and he wants to throw down with it so my plan is to bust out 3 units a week :). It isn't a huge army (1500 pts) so I am pretty sure I can do it. I planned it out. Plus I will be finishing the Iron Warriors as well as try to finish the Grey Knights by Alamo 40k GT. I think I can do it as I found a scheme that isn't mind killing or hand destroying. Woohoo!!

Upcoming stuff after that is more Grey Knights for another client, a bigger Grey Knights order, Speed Freaks for Charity and Speed Freaks for a client. Woohoo this year is starting out sweet. As usual if you want a bag drawn on find me at a tournament and I can throw some ink on it. Fee is usually $25.00 or trade. Whatever I am easy :).

Finally current Build for Grey Knights List

Crowe - 150pts
Troops: Purifiers X 10, Halberds x 5, Daemon Hammer, Psycannon x 4, Rhino - 335pts
Troops: Purifiers X 10, Halberds x 5, Daemon Hammer, Incinerator x 4, Rhino - 295pts
Troops: GKSS X 10, Psycannon X 2, Daemon Hammer, Psybolt, Rhino - 290pts
Troops: GKT X 10, Halberds X 7, Daemon Hammer X 2, Psycannon X 2, Bro Banner - 475pts
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2 - 135pts
Heavy: Dreadnought, TWL Autocannon X 2 - 135pts

This shell fits at 1815 pts right now. Options I can add -

GKM - I can do scout tricks or maybe just Counter assault on the big fat Termie Squad. It is still scary to come near that squad at all and it scores all the way up the field. Pts for the basic guy is 175pts

GKLibbie - Here I can add a utility guy. Shrouding, Sanctuary, Might of Titan, Warp Rift - 170 pts is the total for that guy. I get some protection and other annoying bits that will make people upset to attack me - Str 5, In 6 force weapons that automatically turn is pretty spicey.

Thoughts? ARROOOOOOO!!! Time to finish this off. Woot. Until Wednesday.

HEROES OF ARMAGEDDON!

So if you click on the link to the right - you get to look at what I will be helping with in the coming months. Yup that is right - this here Lucky Goatboy gets to do some charity work and paint up some Orks. I am heading the Speed Freaks army and you will start to see more orks pop up on this board. As well as the other awesome things I do from time to time. I've hit the ground running since coming back from Chicago and have kept up with my painting desires as well as some art stuff.

First of all - if you want me to draw on a bag come find me wherever I am playing at and I can draw on it. I know that isn't good for everyone - but I should be going to other events and shindigs. I will post where and when I go to these things. I think the next one is the Alamo GT (Which I should pay for next week!) and the ATC thing up in Atlanta when I am on team Jerk Face in the Face (not the name but I don't care I say what I want!). The plan for Alamo is Grey Knights so I ordered my army and hopefully will have it ready by May.

Lets see - first where am I at in the paint side of things.

Luis P
Necromunda - 10 Minis - Done!

Steve T- Sent Drawing off for Approval

I am taking that bomber with me to work to mess with it tomorrow. Hopefully I can get a lot of it done so I can look at figuring out how to paint the jerk. Plus I have a Nurgle Baneblade to finish up too. I am currently waiting on initial payment for another Speed Freaks Army - it is hear waiting on Deposit as well as some upcoming CSM stuff, some more Grey Knight stuff, as well as other Grey Knight stuff. Lord I just like to paint. I have a feeling the Grey Knights might be the last marine army I plan on painting. I am almost done with the Iron Warriors and feel I am tired of painting marine armor. So will see if something new makes me have to paint it.

Again for anyone interested the Word Bearers are up for sale - $800.00 bucks includes the shipping to the States if you are interested. Last post had what is in the army and it looks pretty damned cool on the table top. I will probably throw it up on Ebay before long but if I could sell it direct it would be great. You can even email me if you want to offer me something else.

Here is a new bag I drew on - it is the Venture Brothers crew as if they were an Inquisitor crew. Yes the servo skull is Hank.



Also some minis I did. Woohoo!

Goatboy! - Back from Chicago

My actual battle rep is going up on BOLS but I made it back and got 11th overall going 3-1. So a good time had by all :). I bought a lot of stuff (5 Rhinos, 3 Dreads, Scibor stuff) and had a blast doing some retail therapy.

If you look up to the right you can see a link to the Heroes of Armageddon. I will be helping this one as the leader of a Speed Freaks team :). So yeah the guy who likes orks gets to paint more orks. Hahaha. I plan on being the meat and potatoes guy who gets the main troop bulk of the army. I plan on trying to keep it fairly cohesive look wise and got some awesome convertors to work with me to create some bad ass stuff. Look for updates, models and all kinds of other things in the coming future.

So lets see - painting for the week.

Luis P
Necromunda - 10 Minis - built from last week
Necromunda - 10 Minis - in pieces
Right now I sit at 150 Necromunda painted

Me
10 Iron Warriors - Built and Primed
Dark Eldar Guy - Built and Primed

John B
Blood Ravens - Start building - Most likely dreadnought first.

Michael S
Finish Ork Bomba! - if I can get my room cleaned up and other things this bastard is getting built damnit

Art
New Logo top for Brent - Got the idea gonna get it done son!

So this was the debut of the Word Bearers and most likely their last game. I just wanted to paint the army and planned on selling it after finishing it. If you are interested, shoot me an email at GoatboyBOLS@gmail.com. Here is what would be included if you bought the army.

Wolf Lord/Wolf Guard Battle Leader on a bike - Powerfist, Storm Shield
Wolf Lord/Wolf Guard Battle Leader on a bike - Powerfist, Storm Shield
Wolf Lord/Wolf Guard Battle Leader on a bike - Wolf Claws
Wolf Priest on a bike
Wolf Priest/Rune Priest with Plasma pistol
5 Swift Claws one with a power weapon on horses
Attack Bike with Weapon (Multi-melta looks like a daemon)
Wolf Guard on a bike with Powerfist and Storm shield
Black Grey Hunters X 19, Meltaguns X 2, Flamer X 1, Mark of the Wolfen X 2, Both with Wolf Guard with Combi-Melta/Pwrfist
Red Grey Hunters X 8, Plasma gun, Mark of the Wolfen, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon with Wolf guard with Combi-Plasma/Pwrfist
10 Wolf Scouts/Daemons - with Melta gun/Colored hand both with attached Wolf guard with Powerfist/Combi-Melta I used one as my chooser of the slain when I played the list.
4 Rhinos/Razorbacks - 3 with TWL Plasma/Lascannon, one with TWL Lascannon - magnetized - one is red and 3 are black
1 6 Man Long Fang with 5 ML
1 6 Man Long Fang with 3 HB, 2 ML and an attached Wolf Guard with CML and terminator armor



So yeah this is a long list of stuff - I am looking for $800.00 for the lot if anyone is interested. There is a lot of hand painted icons on the rhinos and other fun stuff in the army. That includes shipping to the states but if it goes overseas I will have to add a bit more just to cover it.

Current thought list for Grey Knights. I am pretty excited about the list and it will have to fight for my attention from the Iron Warriors. I will finish them first and then move onto Grey Knights. I have a client Grey Knights to do that is the exact same paint style so I should be ready to go with Grey Knights. Woohoo!

2000pts on the nose. Lots of boots on the table top and some nice ranged shooting. Who knows if it will work - but it is a thought. Woohoo!

And finally some bags I did while at the con! Woohoo! Sorry about the lack of Minis - expect more to come mini wise soon as well as some art too.
