woohoo - It is Friday!!  CSM are coming.  It looks to be a horde army which is very interesting to me.  I love to paint lots of models and cover the board in guys who worship some kind of creepy "business time" god.  Woohoo!  right now the idea I have is the following.

Sorc person
Dark Apostle or Chaos lord if I want to unlock troops
2 Blobs of Cultist - 35 each - one with 3 flamers and the other with 3 stubbers
1 blob of Noise marines - Dakka dakka
1 to 2 Blobs of CSM - 4 plasma?, guns, etc
1 Blob of Havoks
2 Daemon Engines
1 Dragon
1 Aegis

that is where my brain is thinking right now.  Will see if fabius bile will be as abusive as my feverish Goat brain is thinking.  Either way I am excited.  I have almost 20 Cultists done - just bought some more and will get my 70 ready to go by Next week.  Then it is time to paint CSM and other crap heads.  Woohoo!

I am seeing CSM fixing a lot of Ally armies.  Orks get a big bump with Havoks and cheap troops.  Can you see a Dragon flying between 3 Dakka jets?  IG love Chaos as well as they give some nice anti personel options.  Necrons can also get a lot of help as well and you might see my normal Necron contingent going with some CSM in the future.  Look for a lot more discussion next week for sure.

So with that - here is where I am at with the Paint list.

Zap!

Zoom Zoom!

Woot - this is a Sunday/Monday post.  Woot.  Paint list - army ideas - etc.  Chaos is coming and I can't wait to work on some lists.  Cultists might be really good as an option like Grots that do more.  So will see.  Plus I am painting a lot of stuff this week.  That is the plan first.

I played a game with a tweaked ork list on Sunday.  Played versus my buddies Necron army.  The army worked pretty well and I think its pretty mean.  It really didn't matter what my opponent did as I moved around, pushed glances, and took hull points by rolling 6's.  Here is the list.

HQ: Big Mek, KFF
Elites: Lootas X 10
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shootas X 3
FA: Dakkajet
FA: Dakkajet
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Necron Ally
HQ: Destroyer Lord, Weave, Mind Shackle Scarabs
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coils X 3

It moved well and really just put the hurt on my friend.  It looks like Feast will allow CSM so I won't have to bring this monster out.  It wasn't the most exciting to play with because it just moved around, ignored most of my opponents stuff and shot lots of bullets.  Will see if I end up buying some Necron bits to shore up my CSM.  Will see.

Paint list

Models to look at.

GK Inquisitor in Termie armor (so fat) and Psycannon

Test Word Bearers for my new CSM army

Add on for Luis P - For the CSM out of Dark Vengeance

This completes Dark Vengeance.  Luis doesn't like beaky marines so I had to swap em out.

Kraken for Chris and BOLS review.  The base was done while I was on some meds for my Wisdom tooth removal.  Woohoo - the color looks neat.

The final ork design for the last batch of 30 to finish off the 90 Shoota boyz.

That is it for now - more later on this week.

Later Monday then I wanted too.

I didn't get an upload of a bunch of painted stuff. Woot. Got one game in - and my opponent stopped on turn 3. My list was a bit annoying for his so it was ok. I wanted to see how it worked and what could be changed to make things more interesting for my opponents. But the idea behind it was solid. I posted it on BOLS so most should know and like or hate it etc. Woohoo. I think it can get transferred to CSM when that new book comes out. It just feels like something I can do with that - and instead use Cheap ass cultists and CSM to hold my lines and just flood the board in jerks. Will see if I want to add in Necrons or Orks. Both have good options. If not Demons come in too which isn't too terrible. Will just have to wait and see.

So far 6th is really the game of controlling resources. This can be from giving your opponent resources (easy to get VP), taking them from your opponent easier (first blood), or just controlling the resources (flooding the field and controlling Objectives). Really that seems to be the case for 6th and no matter what people say this is an extremely competitive game utilizing your strengths over the army. Player choices start all the way from the beginning and really with increased terrain the game will just become more interesting. It is great as it gives players like me who end up relying on the movement phase to win. I can't roll for crap at times. I did get some new dice in Vegas that fit my color scheme (black with red pips). Plus you can see them when I roll em. One of my biggest pet peeves is not being to read the dice when you play someone. Jerks haha.

Alright onto the paint list then minis and some art.

Me
Test Word Bearer X 2 with Test new base idea - Building it tonight to paint up tomorrow

6 More Bikers - In Pieces

I am sure there will be other ones too - it just keeps ramping up as I build more models and get stuff done. I am on hold with waiting for my DV boxes to come in and getting ready for CSM. Plus Horus Heresy is looking sweet!

Minis and Art!









More later on this week. Woohoo!

Thursday! No game tonight - but game this weekend?

Will see. I want to see Resident Evil 5 to finish off the nonsense. I have seen all the others and need to just finish it off damnit. Beyond that I have been painting like a machine. I am chunking through some commission stuff and getting ready to get ahold of my Dark Vengeance. I have a Clients DV to do so you will see those models popping up. The Chosen are frigging awesome. I also did up some Tau stuff too. Plus I drew some things! I will post the Wargamescon V tshirt design. Everyone likes it so it will be a go team venture!

With Chaos having a chance to not be out in time I have to think of lists for Feast. It is a bit of a pain as I need to figure out if I want to add in Crons or just go full bore with the Orks and have a good time with a horde of nonsense. NONSENSE! Blargh it is a pain in the butt to think about. Ork Horde list that is right in my mind.

HQ: Big Mek, Kustom Force Field, Cybork Body
HQ: Warboss, Warbike, Power Klaw, Cybork, Bosspole, Attack Squig
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Nobz X 5, Painboy, Warbikes, Cybork Body, Power Klaw X 2, Waagh Banner
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota X 3
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Basically I cover the board in Crap and hope to hold everything in the end. I have the Bikerz to zip around and try to kill things. They are small enough of a unit to hide a bit more from shooting. The Dakkajets act as my lootas as well. I was almost tempted to drop the Nobz in favor of a Weird Boy to just try for some nonsense but I don't think it is worth it. Still I am close to having this army (need to make another blob of boyz and a Dakkajet) so it isn't a terrible idea. I want to try out it out a bit and the cost to my wallet would be small.

I really want to make Necrons work - I just would need 200+ dollars to get it working and I really don't want to spend that with Chaos coming out. I might have to wait a bit and just sit on these Annihilation barges a bit longer. Oh well - I did get one painted hehe. I guess I can wait for Necron Wraith deals to slowly build out a Wraith wing for my armies. Or just continue playing Chaos and Orks hehe.

If cultists are going to be this cheap then I can see a lot of games having to deal with 90+ cultists lead by the jerk Dark Apostle guys and just gumming up the field as your Chaos Space Marines move around into nonsense land. Throw in some Daemon engines and call it a day. Will see if the book is as good as we want it to be. Mix that with Horus Heresy coming out and my wallet is eating it in the butt.

Let's see where I am at paint list wise.

Me
Annihilation Barge x 2- Probably on hold
Plastic Dudesmen - Done!
Test Alpha Legions - On hold for DV stuff to test on - Might do another Autocannon thingie

Dark Vengeance - Librarian - Done!
Dark Vengeance - Chaplain - Done!

Dark Vengeance - Hell Brute - Done!
Dark Vengeance - Chosen - Done!

Chris C

Jens - New Tau stuff in
5 Suits - Done!
12 Fire Warriors - Done!
4 Shield Drones - Done!
2 Rail Suits - Primed!
2 Drones - Primed!

So all in all I am doing good this week. Just machining through things and getting models done. Woohoo - its like I want to get paid or something haha. I think it has to do with having new things to paint instead of the normal stuff. After the DV for Luis gets done I am back to some Mordhiem for him, then some IG, and finally onto some marine stuff. Woohoo! I think Jens has some CSM stuff and GK counts as stuff too. And Chris has more Cryx stuff as well.

Ok enough of that - some models to look at right?

Woohoo Survived Las Vegas!

Hooray - I got back on Saturday - cracked opened my clients Dark Vengeance box and started painting the characters. In fact - I even did all of them and the Hellbrute. Hooray beer eh? I did lost money in Vegas but had a good time with my wife. I saw the Love Circe thing at the Mirage. Woohoo! It was good.

So with that in mind I haven't done much list thoughts. I am just too excited about Chaos to really break it down. I want to test out the Necron/Ork hybrid I talked about - especially with the changes in the FAQ and how it opens up the game and just feels right. Congrats to GW. Look for my discussion on Monday at BOLS. Woohoo!

Paint list real quick

I am sure there will be some other stuff in the mix as well. I always have stuff to paint haha. It just keeps me busy. I redid my downstairs paint area and it feels a lot better. I like to paint downstairs as it lets me chat with the wife as she does Jewelry stuff. She has some bad ass stuff and hope to get some pics on here if you are ever interested in getting the wife/girlfriend something neat. Woohoo! Feast is coming soon and I need to figure out my list damnit! Blargh! Plus I have to wait on my own Dark Vengeance stuff as well. Poops!

Look for lists and FAQ thoughts this week. Big changes and I think 6th is looking awesome!

Now some of those painted minis. Woohoo!

Bang bang - Monday - Labor Day - woohoo

I am working on Labor day - then I have another day and I am off to Vegas with the wife for our Anniversary. It should be a lot of fun and I need to the time away. Woohoo! Beyond that I am painting up like a machine due to the slow day I should have tomorrow as well as the time I worked today. So with that in mind - let's start the day off with my paint list.

Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Drawn!
Bols Article for Next week - No idea
Test Annihilation Barge for myself - Built and Primed!
Another Alpha Legion Test - Need to build the asshole tonight to Prime - Not built!
Art for another Banner - Drawn

Luis P
4 Ig Guys - Done today!
9 Mordhiem Guys - Done Today!
Going to see if I can build some tonight for tomorrow.

Chris C
6 more Cryx guys - Done Today!

So yeah - a small week for myself. To give you an idea what I did last week I did a bunch of art stuff, 27 orks, finished a Necron commission, started a Necron idea for myself, did an Alpha Legion test, and more Mordhiem guys. Business!

Lord I can't wait for Chaos. It will help me decide if I want to do Chaos/Orks or Chaos/Crons or Crons/Orks. Currently here is the current thought for Feast. Just lots of guys on the table top to swarm around and cause problems.

Orks Main

HQ: Big Mek, KFF
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota X 3, Fighta Ace
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota X 3, Fighta Ace
Heavy: Big Guns X 3 - Kannon X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3 - Kannon X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3 - Kannon X 3, Runtherd

Crons
HQ: Destroyer Lord, Weave, Mindshackle Scarabs
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Wraiths X 6, Whip Coil X 3

We had a big rules argument this weekend during a game. The issue was when does Whip Coils make your initiative 1. If you are not based, then move into the Whip Coil range, do you become 1 and get your attacks at Initiative 1? What if the whip coil guy dies after your initial initiative goes by - do you lose your attack? That is what made me change my mind on the Whip Coil issue due to the fact that by Raw - you lose your attacks if you get your initiative back because that initiative step is gone. I know Nova said you become 1 and others are saying the same thing - it is still something that should be FAQ'd just to keep things straight from event to event. Either way I got too pissed off and really need a vacation. And I need to get my ass doing some exercises more haha. But yeah - who the hell knows hah.

Other ideas is smashing Nob Bikerz into some Necron nonsense. Not sure. Or hell Chaos with Ork nonsense. Too much to think about. Tony's mad blob of annoyance is pretty cool SW list. I think that style of list will work in a lot of armies and I hope to see Chaos's 20 man blobs in the near future. FNP and 20 Marines is pretty dirty.

So with that in mind lets get onto the minis I painted up.
