Goatboy - Sunday and its my Wife's Bday

We are waiting to go out and eat before we have a night of bowling and nonsense.  Fun fun fun.  So this last day I painted a crap ton of stuff.  I got a lot of things done for myself as a kind of Xmas break to get my brain in place.  So with that - let's do a paint list woohoo!

Me
10 More Zombies - Need to build them - gets me another squad of 35 - red jerks!
1 Plastic Dudesmen - Need to get it done
1 Dakkajet - Maybe?  It is in a box in pieces
3 Combi-Melta Terminators - Primed!
4 Raptors - Primed!

Luis
Terminator Librarian - Got it in - gonna paint it!
Who knows what else

Jens
6 More CSM - Primed
Ahriman - Not primed
Some metal guys - Not primed

That is about it - plus some Bols stuff I am sure for review.  Fun times indeed.

I didn't get a game in this weekend and I might not next week either.  Mother-in-laws bday is on my normal game night and it really depends on if I can get one during the weekend.  It seems Nick is back into playing the game so hopefully I can get some mean fights in hehe.

Current lists

CSM/Orks Allied Force

HQ: Chaos Lord, Bike, MoN, Black Mace, Sigil of Corruption, Blight Grenades, Vet
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Blinding Axe, Sigil of Corruption, Meltabombs, Vet
HQ: Big Mek, KFF
Elites: Terminators X 3, Combi-Melta X 3 (Could be plasma if I wanted)
Elites: Lootas X 10

Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3

FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

I want to test out with more Mauler Fiends too - so eh?  Not sure.  I could look at dropping some things to get them in.  I do like how the ones I painted look.

Orks/CSM

HQ: Big Mek, KFF, Cybork
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Sigil of Corruption, Blinding Axe, Burning Brand, Gift of Mutation, Meltabomb, Vet
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 2
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 2
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: Heldrake, Baleflamer

1850 on the Nose and a lot of guys on the table top.  The Lord joins the Cultists and runs forward to punch things as needed.  He has a lot of wounds he can throw around.  I could change out to a Sorcerer on a Bike - but then the squad isn't fearless so enh?  I could go with a Nurgle Lord on a Bike for Immune to Dreadnoughts - hrmmm...

Some pictures.

What - 120 newly painted orks?  I am crazy eh?

All the leaders are Blue for easy spotting.  Max Mini and bits.

Another 15 or so Zombies - total 25 for the Red squad

Customer Nurgle Bike - lots of non GW bits.  He has been absorbed by the Techno Obliterator Virus eh?

Woohoo - Test Raptor!  There is a lot I like on it - there is some green bits on the back too.

More Zombies - this was the final 10 for 25 total

Luis P - Razorback!

Rhino!  YAY!!!

Goatboy - Monday - XMAS EVE!

Spooky!!! AROOOO!!!  It is almost Monday when I started this - so I say it is a Monday when people might read it.  If they read it etc.  I have some thoughts on my next BOLS 3rd party review article coming - it will be a build a customer Plague Marine.  You can see them below as I went ahead and finished 10 of them (really 7 for the squad as I did 2 melt/2 plasma/PF/PAxe).  I also finished up my customer Typhus to match my army and got some test Plague Zombies done as well.

Paint list - Most likely short due to the holidays.

Me
Typhus - Done!
3 Test Zombies - Done!
7 More Plague Marines - Done!
Plastic Dudesmen - Got the script - will see if I can get the art to work.
Maybe more art 40k style?  Eh?

Luis
1 Razorback - Need to build it
3 Rhinos - Need to build em
1 Terminator - Random one that is primed.

Jens
More random marines - Primed!
Ahriman - need to fix and prime etc!  Will do in new NMM style too

So yeah - not much this week as Xmas is gonna get in the way.  I want to get more Zombies as well as work on my Table War case to get it set up.  Doug just sent it to me a few day ago and I want to get it together and set up for my armies to showcase on a BOLS review.  I have to decide on an army build eh?

I played a game this weekend - 2000 points against my coworker Neil.  I won in the end and find the Mauler Fiends really interesting.  If you have good terrain they are decent answers to armor as they can scoot around, jump out and just punch the crap out of something.  Other things are not the best and you have to watch how many Hull Points they have on them.  My Juggerlord did kill himself rolling 1's on the demon weapon and I shorted how many attacks he had a few times.  I didn't know he sits at 5 standing still - so 7 on the Charge eh?

Current Assault Heavy list - still unsure of the Sorcerer Bike guy - but I think the Black Mace still has merit.  I just like Telepathy even though lately it hasn't rolled much of anything in games.  It makes me think I might just make him a Chaos Lord and leave it with Typhus coming in to give me the bodies I need to complete my Horde style set up.

Here is an 1850 list as the next even is Railhead in March.

HQ: Typhus
HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Burning Brand, Blinding Axe, Sigil of Corruption, Melta Bombs
Troops: Plague Zombies X 30
Troops: Plague Zombies X 30
Troops: Plague Marines X 7, Plasma gun X 2, Power Axe
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
FA: Heldrake, Bale Flamer
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Laser

Typhus will be manning the laser gun and I have zombies slowly moving forward.  If I fear flyers I can dump the Mauler fiends for 2 sets of Veteran Autocannon Havocs.  I keep thinking getting in some Screamers with the Masque might be good.  But then I want to add in Flamers and just - well go all gungho with the flamer/death action etc.  Still - I love the idea of 60 zombies to help keep drop pods away and then I get to move in and abuse them unit at a time with the Spawn and Jugger lord.  I also keep thinking the Aegis might be worthless more and more as it just makes you limited in where you are going to be etc.  Oh well - Maybe I will write up some tactics for 6th edition that tries to fit in all the meanest bits - horde + flyers + pain.

The best list still looks to be a Hybrid Horde/Flyer bit - but will have to test that out a bit more.  More and more orks is what I say.

Alright - let's look at some minis and then I call it a night as I am going into work early so I can leave and have ham with the family in town.  Woohoo ham!

Woot - new customer Typhus!  The shoulder pads are from the Mauler Fiend kit - no idea what they go too haha.  I just had some left over.  The Scythe is an Ogre hybrid monstrosity.

Customer Plague Marines - parts are - Maxmini = Backpacks, Heads, & Melta/Fusion Guns. Kromlech = Legs.  Secrect Weapon = Bases

More Mantic Hybrid Zombies?  Yeah I want a red squad so I can tell these jerks apart.

Jen's has me started on more Chaos Marines as well.

It never ends!  I am going to stop a bit as we wait on the codex and what I can convert for some of the DV termies.  I have some Plasma Cannons that might get put on some termies.

Friday Before Xmas weekend!


 Initial drawing for a Spikey Bits ad to come in a few days.

I have taken a bit of a break from painting.  I have some things ready to go and I am just taking my time a bit.  It is always nice to wind down and see about getting some games in to figure out where I need to go.

Doug from
Fancy new terminators in the NMM style gold and regular metal and weathering.
Luis's terminator Chaplain - fun times with some NMM Gold on the Mace thingie - big hunk of metal model too.

Goatboy's Monday! AROOOO

Prize for a Tournament in Denmark.  CHAOS!!!


Played a game with the list I showed on Thursday.  I won as my spawn got there and I punch a lot of things.  It shows the list has merit and needs more work as I go into other ideas and ways to increase its ability to punch things hard.  I got a new computer this weekend so I have been hammering that into shape lately. Fun times indeed.

Will go with the Paint list - then Army list I want to try and get a game with on Thursday.

Paint list

Me.
Plastic Dudesmen - as usual I need to do one this week.
Maybe start on another 30 orks?  Need to get another group done to get me up to 120 of the new painted style orks.
Dakkajet 3?
Chaos Termintors X 3?

Jens
5 Autocannon Havoks - Done!
5 Autocannon Havoks - Maybe?
Bunch of CSM - for sure
Defiler?

Luis
8 More Dark Angels - Done!
1 Rhino/Razorback - Need to build
Chaplain in Terminator armor - Sure?

So a somewhat small week - it is the week before Xmas so I am a bit slow this time of year.  I want to get some other things done and test out some other options.  Who knows.  I want to test out some Nurgle Bikers as well - but think the only way to fit them in is to not use Allies - but they fix so much!  BWAAAH!!!

Current Thursday list

HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Blinding Axe, Sigil of Corruption, Vet of Killing!
HQ: Sorcerer Lord, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Black Mace, Vet of Spells!
HQ: Weirdboy, Warphead
Elites: Terminators X 3, Combi-Plasma X 3, Power Axes X 3
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

I am sure I will get punked by some fliers but this should be fun to mess around with.  The obviously drop is the Mauler Fiends for Havoks if I feel I need it - but those Fiends are fun to punch tanks in the butt with.  If I get the termies done this week I can try to batrep this on Thursday.  Woohoo!

Alright - tired as shit - long ass weekend.  Helped a buddy move, drove to my home town twice and didn't get a ton of sleep.  I hope next week doesn't suck and all is good in my hood of hoods.  Arrooo!!!!

Models to look at and I am out.

Final MoN spawn!  Woot 5 Assholes for the Win!

New commission start for an old client.  Woot more CSM eh?  Glad mine are just about done.

More DA on the lava field of dreams.

Alright more later on this week - my ass is tired.

Thursday Post - Gonna get a Game with Nonsense!

That is the plan anyway. I took half the day off and I want to get a game with this nonsense.  It should be fun.

HQ: Chaos Lord, Juggernaut, MoK, Blinding Axe, Meltabombs, Mutation, Veteran of the Long War, Sigil of Corruption
HQ: Sorcerer, Bike, The Black Mace, Veteran of the Long War, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Veteran of the Long War, Sigil of Corruption, Meltabombs
HQ: Old Zogwort
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5
FA: Chaos Spawn X 4, MoN
Heavy: Maulerfiend
Heavy: Maulerfiend
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Yeah it is nutty - and it should be fun as hell.  I will get there and get stuff done as needed.  I want to see how the Spawn and Lord like guys do.  This will help me see if I need to go into this awesome CSM/Demons build I want to try as well.  It might work.  Will see it depends on if I want to like the Screamers or not.

I will post how it does for me tomorrow.  It should be fun none the less and will make people chuckle as I try to get the Maulerfiends to do something - anything.  I still think a Typhus design will win out in the end - but will see.  At 2000 points you can do some nutty things with multiple Sorcerer's but will see.  Dakka dakka in your face.  And lord I have 90 orks that look different hahaha.  I think I have another 30 I can repaint and get the magically number of 120.

Models to look at.

Woot - 90 new painted orks total - want to get 60 more done.  I hate my life.

Centaur Sorcerer of Chaos with a Black Mace and his Force Sword hehe.  Plus extra hands to give you some hugs!  Thoughts on this style?

Woohoo - a Khorne Lord on a Jugger - will see if he does any good haha.  NMM style I mess around with from time to time for the gold.  My sketchy paint style.  I did this one before the sorcerer.  Should I continue messing with it?

These count as Nurgle Chaos Spawn.  I had 4 and will use them today.  Woohoo - painted them while watching the Sandy concert thingie.

What?  More Luis stuff - Yay!

Big Batch of Stuff

I got more painting done this weekend.  It was mostly a Goatboy weekend - with some test and review minis thrown in as well as some idea minis.  Just seeing where I want to go etc.  I did get a game in on Thursday playing the following list.

HQ: Warboss, Bike, Klaw, Attack Squig, Cybork
HQ: Necron Lord, Weave, Warscythe
Elites: Lootas X 10
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Immortals X 10, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Doom Scythe
Fortifaction: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

It was for a BOLS battle report against BulleyMike.  It was the Relic game and he won it by running off with the Relic with his Scoring Warlord.  It was a very fun game and that list above was not designed for good times for my opponent.   5 Flyers is a bit much and I found some missing bits with the lack of troops etc.  The Doom Scythe sucked it - but you will see in the report.  I need another squad of boyz and the Lootas might not have been needed.  If I drop both of them - that is 325 points - the perfect amount for another Shoota Boyz squad and maybe amping up the Dakkajets to 3.  Hell dropping the lord and doing some other tweaks gets me this list.

HQ: Big Mek, KFF
HQ: Necron Lord
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Big Shoota X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Immortals X 10, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace

FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Heavy: Doom Scythe

Yeah - this one doesn't win any friends either.  Lord - I got issues haha.  I will probably bring this soon to mess around with.  I need to make another Dakkajet - which are fun as hell to paint.

Still working on this Chaos List.  I think it will be fun.

HQ: Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Sigil of Corruption, Blinding Axe, Veteran of the Long War
HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, The Black Mace, Veteran of the Long War
HQ: Big Mek, KFF

Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Mauler Fiend
Heavy: Havocs X 5, Autocannon X 5
Heavy: Big Guns X 3, Runtherd
Fortification: Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

It gives me some fun stuff but shit the Cultists are crappy haha.  They will go down to ground for sure.  Lots of times.  But I get to use a Sorcerer.  Biomancy or Telepathy is the plan - Bio being the norm most likely.  Warp Speed with the Black Mace will slap some sense into some people.

But yeah - I am going to hopefully have the CSM list ready to go on Thursday.  It should be fun.

Paint list - for those interested.

Me
Finish Art for Tournament - Almost done - need to tweak some colors and backgrounds
Plastic Dudesmen - I got a few scripts - need to do a none 40k one
Jugger Lord - Almost done - washed it and will leave it for the night
3 Kromlech review things - Finished Today
3 Plague Marine kinda things - Finished Today
10 More Albino Orks - Primed - will be my 3rd new Ork Shoota boy unit

Luis

2 Razorbacks - Need to build and Prime

Jens - Sent an order and waiting for it to come in - will see if I get it this week

I am sure there will be more coming as well.  I have some other Kromlech stuff I want to get in the review can.  The Plague Marines are a multiple company part build and will be part of the new 3rd Party parts series I want to start up.  I bought most of the pieces and have some other stuff coming in.

Alright - finally onto some models.

Kromlech Legs, GW Arms/Chests/Plasma gun, Maxmini Back Pack and Helmet all on top of a Secret Weapon Base - review and discussion coming on BOLS later.

Forge Fiend with Bitey Mouth 1

Forge Fiend with Bitey Mouth 2

Mauler Fiend - Magnets are fun.

Kromlech Legs, Shoulder Pad, and Helmet.  Heresy Thousand Sons/Counts as Grey Knights?  Should I do more?  Done in a NMM style for the Gold and regular metal for the metal.  If you are interested in more of these or want me to paint some - email me - goatboybols@gmail.com

Luis's Attack bikes.  Magnets are fun again.  Hopefully they can get Plasma Cannons in the new Codex eh?

Alright that is it for now - more on Friday after I get a game in I hope with the CSM assault list.

Goatboy - Monday



I didn't get a chance to play at the event this weekend.  I wasn't feeling the best and Katie had the day off so it was a better choice to just make it a date day.  I got some things done, bought some stuff, and then got a chance to chill at home and get to feeling better.  The yearly cold is coming so I am trying to make it through.

I have been working some OT to save up some extra cash to buy a new desktop.  My wife uses my laptop most of the time so I need to have one that I can do my Photoshop nonsense on.  I have been working on a few things and messing with some comic ideas.  I will post those in here before long for those interested.  I am also working on amping up the art on Plastic Dudesmen as well. Fun times indeed.  I am almost hitting a 100 strips which means I should look at a book.  Hrm.  I also want to show the art I am working on for the Adepticon team group shot.  Fun times!

I got a ton of painting done this weekend and look at the bottom for a lot of it.  I got some things I need to build this week and some future articles for BOLS.  I started a new article series that plans on reviewing 3rd party stuff.  Some I get to review from the companies but a lot of them are things I buy because they look cool.  Really as long as it is a plastic bit I will at least look at it and give some opinion.

Paint List
Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Got some initial scripts and ideas - doodled one out today
Ork Group 3 - Start with the initial 10 guys as I like to do them in batches of 10
Custom Typhus - Want to do a good one
Start Zombie Group 2 - Need to do the red armored zombies to get me two fat batches of jerks
Forgefiend/Maulerfiend - Build/Magnetize and review for BOLS 

Luis
3 Attack Bikes - Built and Magnetized - Primed
And I am sure I have a ton more to do this week as I find more stuff.  MORE DA AROOO!!!

This week is a pretty small week.  I usually do more as I get towards the end.  I worked OT so I painted a bit as I sat at work for the long hours.  I caught up a bunch and my table is full of DA guys.  I figured out a method on the green that isn't very mind numbing so it isn't too difficult.  Fun times indeed!

Current Thursday army.  I need to play and damnit I am going to play.  This is what is put in the box so far.  I am sure I will get crap for it as I wait to get the Assault CSM army ready to go.

Ork/Crons

HQ: Warboss, Bike, PK, Attack Squig, Cybork Body
HQ: Necron Lord, Warscythe
Elites: Lootas X 10

The best thing is the entire thing is painted already too haha.  It is close to the meanest list I can think of.  In fact it is right on it beyond getting another 30 boyz in there.  It is the horde mentality plus flyer nonsense that pushes it over the edge.  I might write about it again at some point and see what people think of it and give me "ideas" to beat it.

I think I might be playing the horde part of the ATC team if I get a chance to go again next year.  I think it will be a good anti necron flyer army as you cover the board and make a lot of bad choices for your opponent.  In fact I think as the game moves forward you will see people getting board with their 50 dollar buttered rolls and move towards the balanced - Armor 13 mass of Necrons.  Current Horde on Paper.

I could drop the Weird boy for a Big Mek - but it is something to think about.  This list would give most armies problems - except for assault heavy stuff that could kill lots of orks.  Either way it is a thought and an Idea depending on what I can play at the ATC.  If I can get Chaos as a friend it might not be too bad to look at a Sorcerer and some melta options.  And a Dragon - dragons are cool.

Current CSM assault list - It won't take much for me to make it and I think I will have too.  Tweaks off the original one I posted on BOLS today.

I come at you - stuff happens and things might go bad.  But most likely I am going to get hurt. Either way it is a goofball list hehe.  And it has lots of robots too.  I will have to test it at some point.

Ok enough list shit - let's do some models and call it a night.
