Goatboy - Will I Wake up in Time to Play a Sunday Event?
Yup - the title says it all. I have had a slow week so far with some small bits of model painting done. I finished up most of the paint list and with some OT worked I am just a bit burned this week model wise. Will see if I get some more done on Saturday as I come in to cover some vacation/promotion/no long at work stuff etc. Fun times indeed.
But we have a tournament this Sunday and I am trying to think of what to play. Here are the lists I am thinking of playing. A few things need to get made to get this active so will see. All are combos with CSM because I got a new book and I need to throw down with evil jerk faces. It is a 2000 point/double force org nonsense event.
List 1
CSM/Demons - Fixed Feast of Blades list basically.
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Sorcerer Lord, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Meltabomb
HQ: Masque
Elites: Flamers X 9
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
FA: Screamers X 9
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Chaos Spawn X 3
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Pts 2000
A mixture of painted stuff. I have to get the Masque built and created. That is about it and I can play this as is. I want to use the Spawn as I will end with a "want to build" list that I think I might slowly build up. Woohoo!
List 2
CSM/Necrons
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Sorcerer Lord, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Necron, Warscythe, Res Orb
HQ: Cryptek, Destruction
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Immortals X 10, Tesla, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Heavy: Doom Scythe
Pts 1998
This has 5 flyers, some annoying fat backs and some shooting. It should be annoying as it casts spells and other bits of nonsense.I don't need to paint anything for this list.
List 3
CSM/Orks
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Sorcerer Lord, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Weirdboy, Warphead
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Zombies X 35
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Heavy: Big Guns, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis
1998 - Aegis is there to ensure I get a 4+ cover save on the Guns and a 2+ when Lootas go to ground. I could try to add in a Quad gun and a Dakkajet instead of the Oblits but this one is done as well.
So yeah - these are the lists I am thinking about if I wake up on Sunday to game. Which one do you think is the best? Which one is the most interesting? Which one might actually be fun?
Now here is something just insane. Could it work? Maybe? Would it be fun - sure.
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoN, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Black Mace, Veteran of the Long War, Blight Grenades
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Sigil of Corruption, Axe of Blind Fury, Veteran of the Long War, Meltabombs
Troops: CSM X 10, Plasmagun, Autocannon, Veterans of the Long War
Troops: CSM X 10, Plasmagun, Autocannon, Veterans of the Long War
Troops: CSM X 10, Plasmagun, Autocannon, Veterans of the Long War
Troops: Plague Marines X 10, Meltagun X 2, Rhino, Combi-Melta, Dirge Caster, Dozer Blade
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad gun
2000 points and the plan is to assault turn 2. Would it work? Who knows. Necron Flyers would suck - but those assholes will never get out of their rides haha. And it would mean I would need to buy another Maulerfiend. jerks!
ok that is it for now - look for a Sunday painting post and some art stuff I hope. Fun times all around!

Woohoo Sunday?
Lord I worked a lot this week. I am helping covering for vacation/promotion/firing etc so I will be working a lot haha. I am going to save up some cash to get a new desktop computer. My wife uses the laptop a lot so I figured I need something to do art etc on. Fun times indeed.
So with that in mind I painted a ton of crap this last weekend. Let's start with my new list for the week as well - then an army list and then what I painted. Woohoo!
Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Need to do a new one
More Zombies - Sure need to do more
Maybe a new CSM squad to fill the field
Really a lot of stuff I need to order some stuff.
Finish some Logo stuff
Finish some art stuff
Luis
2 Storm Land Speeders
1 Terminator Lord
1 Terminator Librarian
Probably a ton more random stuff too. I find it and build it out.
Woohoo - yeah so the list is odd but I finished a crap ton of stuff these last two days (20 zombies, 2 Night Scythes, 10 Immortals, Dark Angel Characters, Sorcerer, Cryx thing). So yeah - I caught up pretty well haha.
Current List - Played a game with a slight tweak but the player quit when I cast the Hallucination power on some Wraiths in combat and made them not be able to attack the spawn. He had a bit of a rough game before with one player not happy with playing his list so he wasn't prepared for the nonsense. Oh well. I found the 5 flyers too much and I think I only need one Dragon.
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
HQ: Necron Lord
Troops: Plague Zombies X 35
Troops: Cultsits X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Immortals X 10, Tesla, Night Scythe
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Heavy: Doom Scythe
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun
2000 pts - dual force org. Lots of nonsense designed to do well. I want to test some more with it so will see. It is fully painted now for the most part. Need to do some more zombies as I have 35 done so far.
If I drop 5 Immortals I can fit more. Will see.
Let's show some models eh.
Final Cryx guy for Chris to finish off the initial batch. Woohoo.
Flyer 2 for the Crons - fun times.
Whoa another one! I am some kind of jerk.
Tesla assholes #1.
Some Warriors to finish out the final batch.
My customer Sorcerer. I got it in my head to do another one and I thought hell I needed another one.
Final batch of 20 zombies to make it 35. I need to make 15 more and write up a review for Bols. Fun times indeed. Look for it this week.
Some DA characters for Luis as usual.
Final batch of scouts. Will put together some Storms later on this week.
Some more characters as well. Old school metal nonsense.

Sunday - Woohoo!
Thanksgiving week too! Wife is out of town for a bit - so that means I will probably be painting up a storm for 2 days. Woohoo! Plus watching some scary movies as the wife doesn't do well with scary movies. She isn't scared - it is just that it gives her odd dreams. So with that in mind - let's see what will I watch as I sling paint around.
Most likely I will watch VHS at least. I will probably rewatch Cabin in the Woods as well. Will see. But with that in mind let's look at what I want to paint and do.
Paint List!
Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Got the idea - got to shell the design and then let Wyatt fix up the dialogues
Plastic Dudesmen - Got another idea too will see if I get it drawn
Chaos Design for an Overseas tournament - fun times indeed
Some Logo designs as well
2 Night Scythes - Got them in on Friday - plan on trying to get them done so I can have my army fully ready to go after Thanksgiving for initial testing and Battle Reports
5 Necron Warriors - Got 4 built - will get the other one and start from there
20 Zombies - Currently have 15 of the 35 done - the 20 will finish them off
1 Single Cryx guy for Chris
Luis P
Scouts - Got a bunch done this week - more to come this week
Special Characters from the DA - going to build them and get more done!
Probably some Vets as well.
I finished off the Dragon this weekend - I have done 4 so far. I might also build out my second Forge Fiend/Mauler Fiend if I find all the magnets. I got Thanksgiving at my mom's house and we are having turkey and some crepes for desert. I know different but I love me crepes. Thin pancakes are jawesome.
Look for the initial Heavy Flamer designs for our Adepticon team. I want to get them done and do some shirt printing nonsense as well. Will see what I end up doing as this week should be slow but I will be working a lot. We are going to be down people as some other colleagues got promotions and a firing. Means my small group is going to be in a world of hurt for a bit.
I am also going to buy a new computer soon so my wife can take my laptop. She keeps using it and I don't need a portable device as much anymore (phone and Ipad does most of the things I want when I am not at home). I am thinking a Mac Mini and adding more ram. It should do all I need it to do and if I get bored I can upgrade to a SSD and watch the fire come off that fucker.
Currently I am just looking at how to get that list I posted on BOLS today to work right. I might dump the Scarabs for something else - so will see. Right now this will be painted up - then I start looking at ways to make it more interesting (ie swap shit).
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Chaoslord, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, MoN, Black Mace, Veteran of the Long War
HQ: Necron Lord
Troops: Zombies X 10
Troops: Zombies X 10
Troops: Zombies X 35
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Troops: Necron Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Heavy: Doom Scythe
Right now - this is what will be painted first and I want to look at going into Bikes instead of Spawn. Will see if it works. Plus I could do a Sorcerer on a bike to utilize Telepathy. Fun stuff indeed. This should be painted by next week when I can play it in a Battle Report - or so I hope.
Some models too look at from the marathon painting this weekend.

Woohoo Friday!
Didn't get a game in on Thursday. I took half the day off but came home and worked on some photostuff and art things. As usual. I don't rest! Plus I hung out with a non 40k nonsense buddy last night as well. Woohoo!
Saw SkyFall this past weekend. It was good. I don't know what I will see next but there is some hot stuff coming up. It's weird how you slowly rotate out of seeing movies then you hit a bunch in a few weeks time. Beyond that I got Halo for the wife and I am playing that every now and again when I am tired of staring at miniatures.
Right now I am waiting on some models to come in so I can finish out my "army" for most of the year. I keep switching things in and out and it is time I stuck with something for awhile. I get by on being aggressive and knowing the crutch of most players armies so if I go in and cut it out I can usually keep up. I just think it is time I stuck with a core for awhile and then got used to my plastic crack.
Current army - 1850 and 2000 pt

It gives me another troop choice and a fat unit to engage the enemy with. I want to test out two Maulerfiends and I still might need Havocs or Obliterators. But this is the current list thoughts I am waiting on some models to come in to test. Woohoo - Necrons!

:
I want to show off my weirdly colored Orks or some other nonsense. I got a game in this last Thursday with that Typhus/Ork hybrid list. It went alright and it felt good. It did get a bit annoying moving all those guys around. Typhus got punked out pretty bad by rolling a 1 and then a bunch of 2's for his Daemon weapon. Ass indeed. Still I think Orks have a lot of power to them and expect players to figure out that two squads of boyz with a Weirdboy for some auto hitting nonsense with his Melta shot is pretty decent. But it is still an idea.
Right now I need to get 3 more Spawn to test out more lists. I have a local guy who might have some for trade so will see. It should be exciting haha.
With that in mind - before the army lists I want to show my paint list for the week. I got almost all of the last one done last week so this will be another good week. I will be going to the Texas Ren Faire this Saturday so hopefully I can hit it and quit it during the week as my wife plays Halo 4.
Paint list!
Me
4 more Spawn - If I can get em!
Plastic Dudesmen - Have a script idea from the local group - will see if I can get it to work right
Necron stuff - I need to paint up 2 Night Scythes to complete the asshole bits
Luis
2 FW Banner guys - Built and Primed
10 Assault Troops - Built and Primed
1 FW guy thingie with jump pack - Built and Primed
Maybe more? Most likely haha.
Jens
The Last Dragon of the Batch - Not built :(
Chris
Last 1 Cryx guy - Need to build it up etc.
Who knows what else. I got to do some review stuff so look for another weathered out Forge fiend or a rhino I have laying around. I still want to play with Mauler fiends as well. Bastards!
Current list I want to try to have at least built for the weekend/Thursday.

Friday - Played a game Thursday - Woohoo
Goat a game in with the following CSM/Ork Hybrid. I think it went well and I won the game. It was a Dual Storm Raven list and one of my poor dragons got toasted. The other was Vector Locked but it still did some damage as it flew around and breathed fire on things.
Here is the list.
CSM/Orks - 1850
Typhus
Plague Zombies X 25
Plague Zombies X 25
Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heldrake, Baleflamer
Obliterators X 3, MoN
Weirdboy, Warphead
Lootas X 10
Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkit Launcha X 3, Nob, Big Choppa
Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkit Launcha X 3
Dakkajet, Supashoota, Fighta Ace
Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
A bit scatter brained but it worked fine. I think I don't need the Big Guns - but my rolling was rather bad with them as I either hit a lot or did nothing at all. A storm shield guy made a crap ton of saves from Dragon fire. I ended up winning 3 Objectives to 1 with both Warlords eating it. Typhus sucked in combat against a Captain who couldn't fail a 3+ until the end when both died in a huge of death. Bastard with his Power Axe.
I really want to fit in a Biker Unit into that army above. I really need something to engage the Enemy with and I am thinking of 5 Nurgle Bikers with a Nurgle Chaos Lord with the Black Mace to cause some issues. The Weirdboy is fun and the Melta shot power is awesome versus flyers. Zap in your face Assholes! If I wanted to fit in the bikers I need to drop the Big Guns to get enough points to tweak it. Maybe drop the lootas instead and keep them as the fat butted grots are pretty sweet. Blargh!
I also want to test out this type of list to see if it will work.
Typhus
Chaoslord, MoN, Sigil of Corruption, Bike, Black Mace, Burning Brand, Blight Grenades, Veteran of the Long War, Gift of Mutation
Plague Zombies X 30
Plague Zombies X 30
Plague Zombies X 30
Bikers X 10, MoN, Veteran of the Long War, Meltagun X 2, Gift of Mutation
Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
Heldrake, Baleflamer
Maulerfiend
Maulerfiend
Obliterator X 3, MoN
The idea of the army is to engage turn 2 - cause problems and then hopefully leave the opponent a turn to "figure out" what to do. It might work - but you will get punched by Turn 2 for sure.
Now onto the paint list and where I am at.
Me
2 Plastic Dudesmen - 1 is done - other is drawn.
1 Blast Master - Done!
1 NSM Aspiring Champ - I have one done already!
Forgefiend/Mauler - If I have enough magnets this bastard will get built for the weekend painting. - Will look for the weekend to do.
5 Nurgle Bikers - 3 are Done! - 2 are started.
Banner build out - started drawing - will start to photoshop it together this weekend.
I want to do a Mortarion card but it is not coming together how I like it - might try another one.
Luis
4 Cultists with Spec Weapons - Done
2 Tactical Guys - Done
1 Random Jump Pack guy - Done
I will start building the Vets as well for some painting this weekend I hope.
Jens
1 Dragon - Done!
1 Dragon - Maybe do another one?

Jens
1 Dragon - Done!
1 Dragon - Maybe do another one?
Yup the start of my Nurgle bikers. I need to get more horse guys damnit. I think I need to do another 3 as I have parts for 2 at least. I think anyway.
Dragon 1 for Jens. Woohoo! I have painted 3 of these assholes so far.
Small bit for Luis - need to get those Vets together. I will look to trying to build some tomorrow.

Monday! Hooray Monday!
I have been working on lists lately - trying to think of ways to go straight Chaos. I have to design out lists that are interesting. Or at least I think they are. I also painted some stuff this weekend as well which you will see down below. But let's look at lists.
Currently I want to use Typhus and Zombies to try and figure out if he is needed in decent chaos lists. The game has turned away from decent close combat units and has gone into board control and either survivable scoring units or kicking ass shooting units. I have some ideas but will see if I can get some assault options to work well (besides screamers).
So let's look at my initial start add ons for an army.
HQ: Typhus - 230pts
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25 - 110pts
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25 - 110pts
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN - 218pts (shit I hate how it doesn't work out to 5 or a 0 for the total. BULLSHIT)
Total = 668pts
This gives me board control as well as some decent shooting. I don't think people are giving a good look at Oblits and I want to see if I can get them to work. I just bought 3 instead of converting and I want to mess with them. Will see if I get pissed and just move on to Havocs again or something else.
From there I want 2 Dragons. I really enjoy zooming around and breathing Fire. It is awesome. So let's add in 2 since I painted 2. Fuck it is annoying to paint those shits. I will do a how too before long for BOLS so look for that.
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer - 170pts
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer - 170pts
Total = 340pts
This leaves me at 1008 right now. The Zombies hold objectives but do jack shit in engaging the opponent. In fact it is why I am only running 2 sets of them. It just doesn't feel right to run more as all it does is create a layer of annoyance.
So I do need another squad of troops. I could go with Plague marines as Typhus activates them as troops but I just don't know. They don't seem to do as much for me. I have a box of Forge World upgrades that I could make into more Plague marines - but I just don't get that nice feeling with them. As I am looking at doing a 1750 list right now I have to keep things interesting to ensure they work out well enough.
I could add in a Chaoslord with the MoS as I have a ton of Noise Marines made. Let's look at that.
HQ: Chaoslord, MoS - 80pts
Troops: NSM X 15, Sonic Blasters X 14, Icon of Excess - 342pts
Right now I am at 1440 and I have a gimp for a Chaos Lord. I could dump some points in him to make it interesting but then I don't know if it is worth it. There are some things I could do. I could dump the Chaos Lord for a Sorcerer which would let me create a unit with Biomancy that is annoying.
I would need to get another troop choice. So let's amp up the Noise Marines and get something a little more mean.
HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar - 125pts
Elites: Noise Marines X 20, Sonic Blasters X 18, Icon of Excess, Blast Masters X 2 - 496 (In the Dingus!)
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25 - 110pts
This sits me at 1749pts and seems like a decent starting point for an army. Here it is all written out.
HQ: Typhus
HQ: Sorcerer Lord, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
Elites: NSM X 20, Sonic Blasters X 17, Blast Masters X 2, Icon of Excess
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN
Will it work? Who the hell knows. If I go to 1850 I might drop the NSM squad down to 15, get something interesting and see how it goes. 2 Maulerfiends might be good. Will have to see. Hell I really want to try the following two units.
HQ: Chaoslord, MoK, Blinding Axe, Chaos Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Veteran of the Long War - 160pts
FA: Chaos Bikers X 10, MoK, Meltagun x 2, Power Axe, Veterans of the Long War - 275pts
The only issue is that it gives me Berzerkers as troops and I am not a fan of them right now. Still that unit would hit like a ton of bricks. You could drop the Bike for a Jugger - I just like the option to turbo boost if need be. You would think Typhus would have to be a part of the army to get cheap troops and you wouldn't be far from wrong. Drop this instead of the NSM bomb and see if getting mixed in with the enemy might be better. Hell at that time you get some Demon friends with Screamers and just go to town.
Lord lots of things. I will be playing less then 2000 pts most of the time it seems. I think the games move better and it would be nice to ensure faster games etc. Will just see if I can get more in. This Thursday I will try not to stay out too late hanging out with some friends before I make it back and get in a game. Dragons for the win!
Let's do my paint list for the week.
Me
2 Plastic Dudesmen - Drawn just need to build them - might end up only doing one as sometimes sitting on an idea will make it look like crap.
1 Blast Master - Built him today -
1 NSM Aspiring Champ - Might as well have a real one to look at. Got the parts
Forgefiend/Mauler - If I have enough magnets this bastard will get built for the weekend painting.
Luis
4 Cultists with Spec Weapons - Built
2 Tactical Guys - Built
1 Random Jump Pack guy - Built
I will start building the Vets as well for some painting this weekend I hope.
Jens
1 Dragon - Going to build it tomorrow
1 Dragon - Maybe do another one?
And I want to try and paint one Cryx guy to finish out the initial paint batch for Chris. It is just one guy and I haven't touched this set for a bit. Waiting to get finished up with payment and the last guy then it is on to another batch later on.
The week is pretty small and I painted up a ton of stuff beyond the list last week. It is just how I do it. I get an itch in my brain and I want it for my army - thus the added on Obliterators. Check it out with some crazy art I doodled up too.
Currently I want to use Typhus and Zombies to try and figure out if he is needed in decent chaos lists. The game has turned away from decent close combat units and has gone into board control and either survivable scoring units or kicking ass shooting units. I have some ideas but will see if I can get some assault options to work well (besides screamers).
So let's look at my initial start add ons for an army.
HQ: Typhus - 230pts
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25 - 110pts
Troops: Plague Zombies X 25 - 110pts
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, MoN - 218pts (shit I hate how it doesn't work out to 5 or a 0 for the total. BULLSHIT)
Total = 668pts
This gives me board control as well as some decent shooting. I don't think people are giving a good look at Oblits and I want to see if I can get them to work. I just bought 3 instead of converting and I want to mess with them. Will see if I get pissed and just move on to Havocs again or something else.
From there I want 2 Dragons. I really enjoy zooming around and breathing Fire. It is awesome. So let's add in 2 since I painted 2. Fuck it is annoying to paint those shits. I will do a how too before long for BOLS so look for that.
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer - 170pts
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer - 170pts
Total = 340pts
This leaves me at 1008 right now. The Zombies hold objectives but do jack shit in engaging the opponent. In fact it is why I am only running 2 sets of them. It just doesn't feel right to run more as all it does is create a layer of annoyance.
So I do need another squad of troops. I could go with Plague marines as Typhus activates them as troops but I just don't know. They don't seem to do as much for me. I have a box of Forge World upgrades that I could make into more Plague marines - but I just don't get that nice feeling with them.

Got bored and thought of this. Want me to do more?
NSM - with Miniguns and Tesla gun from Maxmini. Skin tone is the Albino tone I have figured out to my liking - Base Screamer Pink, Then Slaanesh Grey, Followed by highlights of Palid Wych Flesh. Wash Agrax and call it a day.
Oblits that are MoN - green flesh tone is pretty easy to too. Loren Forest, Screaming Skull (Rotten Flesh), then Palid Wych Flesh - wash as needed. You can go more Green or browns depending on your mood. Are people interested in my paint formulas for doing stuff?
Another Dragon. This leaves me at 2 and most likely the Max I will have. I have 2 more to do for a client as well. Fun times indeed.
Last of the Bikers so far for Luis. I might get more but this sits me at 24. Lots of dudes riding on Lava.
What more Terminators? I think this hits me at 15 with more sitting in a box waiting on Hammers to come in. The Heavy Flamer is an upgrade/swap etc.
That is it for now - more this week as I start to delve into list building and decide if I want to take orks as my friends (I like the new models I painted).
