Wut - Another Thursday Post - oh my goodness



Woohoo - this weekend was a crazy amount of work.  I had to knock out that Sisters order - so that was building 2 Exorcists, painting them, and then building a Vendetta and painting it Tuesday night.  Woohoo.  Got it all done and it is shipped - hopefully it gets there.

The exorcists are the newest model on my shit list of models I hate to build.  Warmachine covers most of it with some small things like old metal ass models I get from time to time and bad FW stuff. Man that model sucks - don't really like the FW version either so it is just a mess.  Still it is done.  Let's see my paint list.

Me
Article for Bols - Who knows
Art for a Team - got the idea - have to draw it
Art for Frontline - got 3 things done for Dropzone commander - just have to draw the next 2 and color - maybe at some point on Sunday
Art for FMC cards for LVO
Maybe Art for a dumb shirt for LVO for myself...
Still want to work on a comic idea for myself... blah
Maybe make a test Goat Scout squad - got an idea

Eric
Might see if I can build some ripper swarms from my stuff - guy is busy and needs to get me some more models

Brandon
2 Sicarians I need to build and magnetize parts
Something else I can't remember haha

James
Tau that came in last week to start on

Luis
More Flesh Tearers stuff - gonna start building them soon as sisters got knocked out - hooray for no metal nonsense for the most part

My plan tonight is to get a game after work. I missed games this weekend due to forgetting the baby formula.  I don't think he would have let me play though - he was demanding my attention even as I just sat there.  What kind of jerk right... dang cute baby hahaha.  Trying to figure out if I want to have one big GD in there or 2 in my hey I thought this was a 6th edition tournament list.

Here is the list for maybe tonight - all painted even

HQ: Keeper, Lvl 3, Greater X 2
HQ: DP, MoT, Lvl 3, Greater, Exalted, Wings, Armor, Flyer Ace
Troops: Nurglings
Troops: Nurglings
Troops: Nurglings
Troops: Nurglings
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Lesser Gift, Greater Gift X 2
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Lesser Gift, Greater Gift X 2
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Lesser Gift, Greater Gift X 2

Basic - simple, and fairly small to transport.  Will end up Deep Striking a lot of the DP's in most games I bet.  Will see.  I thought about adding a Void shield and going with a LoC - but I don't want to make one that at least looks right.  But that is probably the right idea if you wanted to go in that direction.  Blah!

Some models to look at.

This finishes off that small Cryx order - this model sucked to build.  Whoever cuts these models needs to rethink how they cut stuff.

Woot - this is the color scheme I would do my own Nids in - simple and easy.


And we have all the troops done for my LVO army.



One of the 3 went together ok - the other two sucked...

Pew pew pew!!!  Yay battle damage.

Late ass post



Ok - so Thursday post.  Yeah it is late - been crazy busy.  Life is rough for the family Goatboy haha.  Boy is doing great - hopefully I can get some games in this weekend.  At least one to test my LVO list.  You saw it last week - that is the plan to play.  Woohoo

Paint list
Me
2 Sets of 3 Nurglings to do - need to build and then paint - easy stuff
Article for BOLS
Frontline Dropzone Commander art
Art for Caleb and army design stuff
Maybe more art?

Mike K
3 Exorcists - these models suck butt to build
1 Valk to build and paint

Don S
1 Cryx metal model thing

Luis
Drop pods to do
Storm Raven
and more regular guys - need to build all of this... woohoo

Eric
Nids to do - the one you see below

Some other stuff coming in too.  Woohoo!

Will try to do a basic batrep on the test game I plan on throwing out this weekend.  The Massed DP army.

Keeper, Greater X 2, Lvl 3
DP, MoT, Wings, Armor, Exalted, Greater, Lvl 3, Flying Ace
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3,Greater X 2, Lesser
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3,Greater X 2, Lesser
Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3,Greater X 2, Lesser

Almost tempted to run a CSM DP as an Ally - might be better as a Malefic caster with Spell Fam and the chance to get nutty stuff or make Eternal Warrior if I have the points.  But his flying ass is kind of bunk so will see.  Thoughts thoughts and more thoughts.

Lets look at models yay!


It is done!

You got metal crabs?

This is gonna ruin your picnic


Sisters!


Quick Orks cuz I love to paint em.

Woot - Monday post yay!

Tiger Side Goat Smash!


Woohoo - I maka da post.  I got a game in with Rob Baer from Spikey Bits etc.  He was playing a modified super friends list and I played the 3 Slaanesh DP's with 4 Grinders and Nurglings.  The game went about right where I thought it should - first blood meant I had to play for the draw.  Which is what happened.

The grinders all ate it due to crazy assaults and I never got much work out of them.  They killed some scouts and helped with things.  I got more out of the DP's as they flew around and caused issues.  In fact it just made me think FMC is still worth it.  You can ignore the Maelstrom if you plan things right so it might be worth it to just do the FMC thing - and drop down at the end to grab objectives as needed.  Kill the MSU troops and just go from there.  The whips help with that as does Psychic Shriek.

Wrote up this list - seems dumb too but hey.

Daemons plus Ally Daemons

HQ: Keeper, Gifts X 2, Lvl 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3

Heavy: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Greater Gift X 2

HQ: DP, MoS, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Greater Gift X 2
Troops: Nurglings X 3

You get 4 Flying bits of nonsense and a Keeper who will summon from the backfield.  You can null deploy with just Nurglings everywhere too.  Plus it has 4 flying dildo princes as I call them hehe.  It seems right up my alleyway too.  If not that I can drop one Nurgling base to get a MoT DP and get the Grim if I want too.  I know I love the MoS guys as fleet helps as does randomly Rending if you need to get into a tank etc with not having to go down to 1 attack for the smash.

Maybe will test this with Nick later on this week.

The 4 Grinders - while amusing - just didn't do enough to warrant their cost.  I am not sure what I would do to change them - I think a better designed list for them works.  The Drone Star is really annoying and they do wonders in that list as you have a central pain in the butt unit - which leaves the grinders more room to get their job done.   I don't want to buy more flies as they break a lot - so thus it leaves me looking at other directions.  Maybe a grinder list with Dogs might do better.  Full on charge rush list might do well.

Herald of Khorne, Juggernaut, Greater Gift, Lesser Gift, Locus of Wrath
