Goatboy's Monday Super Fight!

I didn't play a tournament this weekend.  I hung out with the wife, did some cleaning work, starting fixing the stairs, and well painted a ton of stuff.  Good weekend eh.  Buddy Chris had a wedding on Saturday so all in all I am happy with what I got done this weekend.

Paint/Art List
Me
Plastic Dudesmen - No script yet - heck we have been on a roll lately
Goat Bikers - 2 of them to make a unit
Art for Mike W - Ultramarine dude
Art for GMM - 2 logos
Art for Rob G - Logo/Banner thingie
Art for White Metal - got one drawn, other looked like crap reworking it.
Art for MBG - Character picture - drawn and scanned, started blocking out colors
Art for Others I am sure.

Luis P
10 Flesh Tearers - Done!
2 Meltagun guys - Primed
Scouts next

Michael D
Fateweaver - Done
Keeper of Secrets - Done

John G
9 Plague Drones - First one might be done - sent for approval

Travis
Cryx stuff - gonna get more of a tray done - some Spec Characters etc
8 or so guys based.

Zack
Steel Legion Troop Squad - Done!
Manticore - In Pieces
Vendetta - In Pieces
Mortar Team X 2 - In Pieces

Current Goat list.  Well I have two - not sure what one will be more fun.  One is all death star the other is more random in nature.  I have to prepare for the Las Vegas GT.  Woohoo!

1750 - Marine Death Star - Iron Hands/Space Wolves
HQ: Chapter Master, Artificer Armor, Shield Eternal, Powerfist, Bike
HQ: Chapter Master, Artificer Armor, Storm Shield, Powerfist, Bike
HQ: Wolf Lord, Runic Armor, Storm Shield, Powerfist, Wolf Tail Talisman, Fenris Wolves X 2, Bike, Saga of the Bear
HQ: Rune Priest, Bike, Runic Armor
Troops: Bikes X 8, Grav Gun X 2, Attack Bike, Multi-Melta
Troops: Tactical Squad, Grav Gun, Missile Launcher, Razorback, TWL Assault Cannon
Troops: Scouts X 10, Camo Cloaks, Sniper Rifles X 10
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Flamer, Razorback, TWL Assault Cannon
Heavy: Stalker

1748 - it looks bonkers but maybe it has enough.  I am not sure on the TWL Assault  Cannons - but I feel it gives me some outs versus big things.  Plus they can randomly kill flyers.  Meh… it is just ideas.  Put it does give me the punch star I love to play with.  And it is Marines.  And it feels very random at the back end.  Will see if really the Wolf Lord is worth it.  And instead of him I get other things.  Still it is a good starting point and what I will end up bringing on Thursday - Minus the Stalker as I don't have it yet.

Paint and Art

TastyTaste has been on some Frontline Army reports - figured he needed some art.

Wah… yes the Goats are getting worked on.

Steel legion - 2 mortar teams and 2 vehicles are left.

Cryx… look for more this week too. 

More Flesh Tearers!

A quick Daemon  Commission of two HQ's.  Was a super fast day with these two guys, Steel Legion, and another Daemon thing I will end up showing later on this week.

Late Tuesday!

Woohoo - another update. Lists and more lists. Woohoo! Can I get 6th edition to purr like an angry kitten? Who the hell knows. I did get my new Nob Biker unit finished! Woohoo! And another commission came in that will be different.

Right now - this will be coming to a table top. I need to figure out more boyz - but this is it so far. Of course I could just be treading water as I try to figure out some nonsense.

Fortifications - Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun

Yeah this could be annoying. Super mean. But I bet I kill a lot of my orks with the nonsense I try to pull. Either way I got lots of ways to cause pinning and special targeting with the Mortars and Ordinance. Like a jerk I am!

Right now it is hard for me to really think with CSM coming. Even if the book is meh I will still want to play it. Blargh.

Plastic Dudesmen is drawn - need to finish it up tomorrow night so it can get reviewed. I drew another one as well so I will be a bit ahead of the game me thinks. Or so that is the plan. I also have been cleaning up stuff. Beyond that - tomorrow I should come home with a new car so will see. Something better on the gas and the wallet. Woohoo - making room for the upcoming releases hahaha.

Alright that is it for now.

Minis done so far! Yeah I know - 2 days.

Friday post!

Woohoo - Models done, stuff thought about, and life lived! AROOO!!!

Quick question - do you think people would be interested in Sadness Donut T-Shirts? I got some ideas and have been slowly adding them to Plastic Dudesmen - it is just a thought.

I am going to be playing a battle report finally for Bols on Sunday with Bushido. I plan on having fun with it so most likely throwing orks down with some nonsense. I am facing off against Abbadon so I might have some nob bikerz and then just other stuff. 2250 - dual Force Orgs and other nonsense. This is what it is looking like right now.

Current 2250 list thoughts.

HQ: Warboss, Bike, Powerklaw, Bosspole, Cybork, Attack squig - 155pts
HQ: Weirdboy, Warphead - 85pts
HQ: Mega Armored Warboss, Attack Squig, Cybork Body, Bosspole - 130pts
Elites: Lootas X 15 - 225pts
Troops: Nobz X 10, Warbikes, Painboy, Cybork Body, Power Klaw X 4, Waagh Banner - 655pts
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw - 250pts
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw - 250pts
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3, Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw - 250pts
FA: Dakka Jet, Supa Shoota - 120pts
FA: Dakka Jet, Supa Shoota - 120pts

2240 - woohoo.

I think the best Ally will still be IG or IG + someone. They just offer to much to all the armies that it allows each army to specialize and you can have the IG fill in the holes you need. I want to do a CSM army so bad but until that book comes out I just can't get one together. So will look at IG + GK to give a nice meaty center.

IG - Main Force
HQ: Company Command - Flamers X 4, Chimera, Heavy Flamer - 125pts
Elites: Psyker Battle Squad X 7, Chimera, Heavy Flamer - 135pts
Troops: Veterans - Meltaguns X 3, Chimera, Heavy Flamer - 155pts
Troops: Veterans - Meltaguns X 3, Chimera, Heavy Flamer - 155pts
Troops: Veterans - Plasmaguns X 3, Chimera, Heavy Flamer - 170pts
Heavy: Manticore, Camo Netting - 190pts
Heavy: Colssus, Camo Netting - 170pts

Fortification - Aegis Defense Line, Quad Gun - 100pts

GK - Detachment
HQ: Coteaz - 100pts
EliteS: Techmarine, Psychotroke Grenades, Rad Grenades - 115pts
Troops: Terminators X 10, Hammers X 4, Bro Banner, Psycannon X 2, Psybolt, Thawn, Swords X 4 - 570pts

Basically it just uses a ton of guys and gives me the Melta I need. I went with a Colossus as it can easily hurt guys behind those lovely Aegis Defense lines. I might need to get a flyer in there - Vendetta etc - but feel we will see a lot more anti of that stuff as needed. Still this is an idea using the rough center of GK to help out the IG. I went with Coteaz as he is the cheapest Librarian they have in the GK.

Alright - enough for now. Minis!




The base is built - just need to finish painting it etc. Woohoo!

Goatboy - Woohoo Hate Allergies

Damn allergies just suck. The constant flux in weather is making my allergies, mind, and dark corrupted soul squirm in snot infused agony. Blargh!!! But at least I know today will be a good one because when I came into work I heard House of Pain's Jump Around. No day can suck when that song ends your day :).

So far this week has been kinda meh on the paint front. I did finish some things just not as much as I would want. This current batch of cold will keep me from priming once again so it will most likely become an art/catch up week etc. And some building.

List from Monday with updates.


Luis P
6 Necromunda guys built - DONE!
10 Necromunda guys - need to be built - that is my "plan" - got some dudes maybe will builds em

Chris C

1 Word Bearer Red Grey Grammar Wolves - Done!

So hopefully I can finish the stuff above so I feel like a big boy. I got another banner commission to do so that will show up here again. Plus I need to do some educational art and other fun things too. I am always busy hahah.

I am looking at rebuilding Kharn for my Fabius bile army. A crazy big mutant running around crushing stuff. That is what is in my head so will see if it comes out when I paint him up. He will be based off the armored Black Orc from Fantasy. It is one of those armies that I just enjoy playing because it is so random. Plus it has a ton of good assault stuff :).

I will be bringing the Grammar Wolves this Thursday to do some more game testing with. Beyond that there is a tournament this Saturday with weird rules. I might just go to help judge as I think it would make for a smoother run tournament. Plus I can look at building and finishing my Storm Raven or two :). If the 2nd one comes in today.

Images of stuff done. Woohoo!







And I need to write my articles for BOLS. A list thought and another one with the word - DBags of Space. Woohoo

Goatboy is Back

I will be working for 11 days straight. A friend covered for me while I was gone (yay for a low amount of coworkers) so now it is my turn to cover for him. This means lots and lots of minis are going to get painted. Right now here is the plain.

1 Kodiak - Build/Paint
1 Death Company Rhino - Build/Paint
3 Sanguinary Guard - Build/Paint
1 Mephiston Goat Conversion - Build/Paint
10 Random Guardsmen - Build/Paint
3 Missile Launcher Guardsmen - Build/Paint
3 Missile Launder Space Goats - Build/Paint

5 WoC Lance Knights - Paint
2 Tervigon Conversions - Build/Paint
1 Death Leaper - Build/Paint
5 Space Wolf Terminators - Build
Build Cards for other armies to use - Recombine old art and card design

Depending on what comes in - might be doing some Baal Predators and Vindicators. We shall see. I bet I get over half done, so will see. Depending on the mood I get in. But that is the so called plan. Look for another post later on this week with my Goat Angels army as well as some Ard Boyz thoughts for BA. It should be pretty fun hah.

And some minis. I swear more later. I am still tired.

Goatboy with some painting stuff

I painted a bunch of stuff this week. In fact I hit everything I wanted to do and then a bit more. So all in all a good week. I am waiting on 10 more Elysiums for Luis from Spain to finish up. Once those are done and my other painter finishes his Storm Troopers, this IG army will be completely finished. It was a huge one and from here I move onto a biker army for Luis as well as a future CSM army too.

Look for some Nids to pop up here too, as I have a bunch of stuff for a new nid client coming in. It is going to be a co paint job by JWolf and I so it should go very quickly as I get started on it. I am doing the bigger stuff while Jon does all the little jerks. I also have a new Warmachine order coming in too. So more and more of those guys. I plan on painting up a Cyrx army myself so that will also show up here too.

As usual, if anyone is interesting in having me or my group of painters paint something, shoot me an email.

Now some stuff and at the end my team tournament list.

These are for myself. I just wanted to make some new Nob bikerz and warboss. The front guns and fist are from the Khador plastic jack from Warmachine.



My Cyrx Slayer Helljack. Went with a red glow to give the idea that it is fed on blood.


This is Big Red's next Jack. I will be painting up some more infantry too.


This is the second to last batch of Elysiums for Luis.


More Daemons for Bushido Red Panda. He didn't have time to bust these out so I did it for him.


Beyond this I painted some more purple and white guys and just got a lot of things finished. More Orks will be coming as well as some other nonsense I am sure too.

Current Team List for this Weekend. JWolf is playing an Alrahiem list for IG (spelling?) and I am playing Khan.

HQ: Khan, Moondraken
Troops: Bike Squad (5), Flamer X 2, Attack Bike, MultiMelta
Troops: Bike Squad (5), Flamer, Meltagun, Attack Bike, MultiMelta
Troops: Bike Squad (5), Plasma Gun X 2, Attack Bike, MultiMelta
Elites: Ironclad Dreadnought, Drop Pod
Elites: Ironclad Dreadnought, Drop Pod

The list should be fun, and I get to play with my Dreadnoughts. Those guys are always little jerks. Not a very strong army, as normally a regular Captain on a bike is better then Khan, but this one should be fun. If he can kill something Big then he gets a big high five.

Woot what is up - Goatboy is here

This last week was busy. I had to cover an fellow night time employee so I couldn't get a game in on Thursday. I am hoping I can throw down tomorrow if there are any tables left during the fantasy tournament. We had 36 for the 40k one last week, so there is a good chance it might not be a go team Venture. I went 2-1 in the tournament, facing an army I painted in the second round that handed my Space Goats a butt whuppin. Fiends are the shit in the Daemons codex, and if you have to play them, you better hope your army has a ton of shooting. I didn't with the Space Goats, so that was a loss for me. If I played my BW orks like I originally planned, I would have most likely dealt with the many boobied monsters pretty easily. Oh well.

So lets see - what did I do this week. I painted a lot and will show a bunch of pics. I got a new camera last week, and it is really giving a people a chance to see how much more subtle color work I put in my models. This means a whole site overhaul on the photo side and probably some changes to some other bits. And starting up the online store with prepainted work etc.

So first of all some IG stuff I did for Darkwynn.







This next week I plan on finishing another Chimera (done 5 already!), a manticore, and 2 Medusas. If I feel like it another squad or two will get done also. Will see. The heads on the IG are Pig Iron Productions. They are pretty sweet heads and really makes his guys stand out.

I also finished up some dreads for my marine bike army. The second army build within the list is to add in 2 Iron Clad dreads with pods. From there I might add some regular ones and a Master of the Forge. That is the plan. Also this army will be my blood angels army when it comes out. It is easier to keep the scheme and the rumor is I can still run bikers as troops in it too. Will see if that stays. I wish they had set that up in Space Wolves, as it would give you a neat and interesting army. Oh well they got Thunder Wolves.





Also the local store is having a painting contest and I went ahead and did mine already. I spent a week or so on it and will probably add more. In fact, I have another board to set up, a Big Mek on uni wheel I will show later on this week, as well as an extra Battle Wagon to really create the full squad. If I get the Battle Wagon done it will be all tricked out, with grots running around, a deff rolla and other nonsense. It will be set up to exactly what I normally run, and this unit will be my entry into other Painting contests as well.



The plans for this week are more orks for the local store owner, maybe some Elysiums to finish off the order from Spain, some Warmachine stuff for Big Red of BOLS, and the second drop pod to finish out my bike army for the local Hobby Tournament next month.

Later on this week I will post my hobby list I am planning on playing as well as some of the other lists I normally run. Any interest in my ork builds or current Space Wolves, CSM, or Marine Bike builds?

Goatboy's Post - Some army thoughts

Goatboy here again - current paint projects -

More Elysiums - 2 command squads and 2 more drop squads to finish out this initial bit. More are coming in. They look like Judge Dread guys
Typhus - Got him based and will be working up colors on him more and more.
Command Squad - Bike army - the red fists or some kinda of nonsense like that
Attack Bike - Bike army

That is the list of stuff for this week. Probably mix some orks in there too. Will see.

Beyond that I am still working on Marine bike lists in my head. I will build out the army and then will see how it goes from there.

Here is an all bike all the time list using Khan. I'm taking Khan because well - I can yell Khan. A good opponent will not be over run by outflank, so it really is just about making a Khan like bike guy for my Red fists squad. And outflank can be randomly neato.

HQ: KHAN!!! + Bike - 205pts
Command Squad: 5 Guys, Bikes, Meltagun (2), Powerfist (2) - 275pts
HQ: Commander, Bike, Relic Blade, Storm Shield, Digital Weapons - 190pts
Command Squad: 5 Guys, Bikes, Meltagun (2), Powerfist (2) - 275pts
Troops: 5 Bikers, Flamers (2), Powerfist, Attack Bike, MM - 225pts
Troops: 5 Bikers, Flamers (2), Powerfist, Attack Bike, MM - 225pts
Troops: 5 Bikers, Flamers (2), Powerfist, Attack Bike, MM - 225pts
Troops: 5 Bikers, Flamers (2), Powerfist, Attack Bike, MM - 225pts
FA: Land Speeder, MM, Hvy Flamer - 70pts
FA: Land Speeder, MM, Hvy Flamer - 70pts


Pts 2000 - This lets me play Khan and be a jerk heh. This is a massed bike army - trying to utilize its ability to reset the playing field by changing sides if need be. There is 15 points left, so one of the squads might jump to all melta. I am not sure if that is worth it as a bunch of flamers just sounds neat. And screw using Vulkan, this is all bikes all the time damnit.

This is what I am probably building towards even though I painted 2 Predators. They might jump to Space Goats as they have some red on there. And dark grey woot. Some pics of the army bits at the bottom. Either way I am sure people will be like, WTF with all the bikes? hah. And best of all, I drop the speeders and I got an 1850 force :).

Here is the current Space Goats everyday build. This is a kinda take all comers type of build that I will play somewhat consistently this next year.

HQ: Wolflord, Thunder Wolf Cav, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Runic Armor, Saga of the Bear, Wolf Tail Talisman - 265pts
HQ: Canis - 185pts
HQ: Rune Priest - 100pts
Elites: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Wolf Tooth Necklace, Cyber Wolves (4) - 165pts
Elites: Wolf Guard (3), Powerfist (2), Mark of the Wulfen - 109pts
Troops: Grey Hunters (8), Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino - 170pts
Troops: Grey Hunters (9), Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino - 185pts
Troops: Grey Hunters (5), Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Razorback - 150pts
Troops: Fenris Wolves (8) - 64pts
Troops: Fenris Wolves (8) - 64pts
FA: Thunder wolf Cav (5), Powerfist - 280pts
Heavy: Long Fangs (6), ML (3), HB (2) - 130pts
Heavy: Long Fangs (6), ML (4), HB - 135pts

Right at 2000 pts and with a lot of bit. I have some long range stuff, some quick assault stuff as well as some good mixed units. I don't have a lot of Melta, which could be an issue. It might be worth it to drop the Iron Priest for another small 5 man grey hunters squads in a razorback. I could tweak some points to get another Wolf Guard for them to help out and up the melta count to 4. Will see if that is worth it.

Now some pics. Tweaking photo taking bit - gonna try to fix the lighting as well as the set up. Fun times.
