Late Post - Long weeks of Work, Life and Frustrations

Work has been a bit rough lately.  Some big changes coming leaves me working a lot.  It is ok - I am just always busy so I don't have nearly the amount of time to throw down some nonsense thoughts on a blog.  But still - I plan on updating more.  I am still painting, drawing, and playing 40k when I can.  So woot on that.  Let's get a paint list together - then some army thoughts and then a ton of new minis and arts.

I had a rough few weeks on art where nothing working for awhile.  Lucky for my own sanity painting was alright but art was just sucking.  I filled a notepad full of random doodles trying to get through the rut.  There are times I wish I was doing art full time and then you go through this dry spell and you are thankful you have a decent job, good wife, and a family to come home too and not just get more down.  It is the burden from creatives where you feel like you are missing something when you are not creating.  Like you are just rotting a bit inside.  But I got through that crap and now onto some stuff I plan on doing.

Paint List
Me
Tweak BOLS article
Frontline Art - 3 or so more pieces
Art for another client
Friends logo art
Probably some more art

Lance
Chaos Space Marines finally!  The box is staring at me and I finished a ton of stuff the last week.  woot

Nick R
A marine commission and Tau commission - depending on what he feels like.  It never ends

Luis
More Iron hands as usual

And of course other stuff is going to come in - people just figuring out armies and other things.  I am sure I will get another Knight or two as usual.  It seems short but there are a lot of things floating in the wind.  A Tetrad commission is coming too.  You know how I love to paint daemons.

Alright - War Games Con is this weekend and I am playing my new Tetrad you will see down below. I blame a client having me do 2 Daemon Princes for making me paint another.  I will update the for sale page after this weekend as I have a few Daemon Princes laying around.

List I am taking

Daemonic Incursion
Murder Horde
Herald
Flesh Hounds X 5 - 8 Units

Infernal Tetrad
DP, MoK, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Armour of Scorn
DP, MoN, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3
DP, MoS, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3
DP, MoT, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3, Impossible Robe

Furies X 5, MoT

Basically I threw out the knights for the Tetrad.  There is an idea that if the FAQ sticks and you only see one Meltabomb per unit - the Knights might come back.  Still it should be fun - I played it once and had a good time.  I got my spell sheet made up and a ton of these effect markers using old bases.  This way all my princes will have their powers floating by them for my opponent as well as myself to remember and know.

After this I plan on getting some Death Watch done and work on some really terrible armies.  I got an event in Oklahoma coming up called the Iron halo GT - and if I can get some Death Watch armies working I could have a good time.  My initial one is based on some models I had to get done to get them out of my head - robot Assassins.

Assassinorium Execution Force

Death Watch CAD
Librarian, Lvl 2, Force Axe, Auspex
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 3, Drop Pod
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 2, Drop Pod
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 2, Drop Pod

Basically I want to win best Assassins in ITC with this terrible nonsense.  Plus the ability to have to Vindicares killing guys sound awesome.  I also have this thing someone asked me to write up - it sounds fun as shit too.

Baronial Court
Gallant, Helm of the Nameless Warrior

Death Watch CAD
Librarian, Lvl 2, Force Axe, Auspex
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 2, Storm Shield X 2, Drop Pod
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 2, Drop Pod
Deathwatch Veterans X 5, Frag Cannon X 2, Drop Pod

Culexus Assassin

You are just going full speed ahead and I the Gallant Lance might be better.  And still it just sounds rad to run around with full CCW Knights, a bunch of Deathwatch coming down and some severe beatings coming.

So look for some Death Watch coming soon from me.  Will do the normal metal arm and then Red one arm to let me match up some of these Pods I have laying around.  Fun times indeed.

Ok some models and some art to get this done.

Assassins - Culexus, Callidus, Vindicare, and Eversor

This was the picture that I basically redrew and redrew - this finally came out and I was happy with it - the background etc.

Nature hurts!?!?!

Yeah a marine again!

Blah blah - what another post in like a week?

What's happenin hahah.  So far so good this week.  It is the end of they year - stuff is getting slower at work and life is moving on alright.  Have to get the wife a birthday gift and a funny xmas gift.  Our gift to ourselves was Halo and 2 Year Xbox live haha.  It gets hard getting gifts when you have a one income household and I am the type that is like - we get what we want/need when it comes up etc.  As a kid we just got cash from family so I never got into the cool gift giving thing etc.  Oh wells.

I won't lie - I like those new Chaos Horse guys.  Don't like the cost though.  I guess I could use some store credit from doing Frontline stuff.  I got my Horus Heresy box set as well as a Blood Thirster.  Those things are just sitting there - asking me to build them and paint.  Jerks.

Let's get a paint list

Me
Artwork for a Banner - drawn just need to color
Maybe something else for me?  Who knows
Bols Article for next week

Nick R
Build Storm Surge - Done - it sucked
Built other Tau stuff
Might have to paint them - will see

Luis P
2 More Assassins to build and paint

Jon S
3 Primed Dark Angel Black Knights
6 more Dark Angel Black Knights to build and paint

Don
Random stuff

Carl
More Random bikes

Gareth
Chaos Knight rebuild/paint

I am sure there are other things to - this is just off the top of my head.

Damn the ITC and making the Big Mek Stompa available.  I wrote about it on BOLS but man it has me thinking.  I think going all SAG isn't worth it that much - but maybe going 5 - Lootas inside to ensure I can move 6 inches and shoot etc.  Meh!!!

The thought is to utilize 2 30 man boyz squads to keep guys from getting to me.  I don't know if it is worth it that way or not.  It is just an idea.  I do like seeing a bunch of shokk attack guns shooting out of the Big Mek Stompa.  It would be hilarious to see the damage I could cause with a ton of random stuff just throwing out of there.  I need to really think of the list more to see if I can work it out.

Ork CAD
Big Mek, Mega Armor, Da Fixer Upper
Ork Boyz X 30, Nob, PK, Rokkits X 3
Gretchin X 10
Buzz gob Big Mek, Custom Big Mek Stompa, Deff Kannon X 2
Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
Deff Kopta, TWL Rokkits
Void Shield, 2 Extra Shields

Waagh Detachment
Big Mek, Mega Force Field
Big Mek, SAG
Mekboy
Gretchin X 10
Gretchin X 10
Tank Bustas X 5

Morgrok's Boss Boyz
Mogrok, SAG, Da Finkin Kap
Big Mek, SAG
Big Mek, SAG
Warboss, Mega Armor, Lucky Stix
Weird Boy, Warphead

The Idea is that inside the Mek I have
Tank Bustas X 5 with Attach Mekboy - Gives me one Fix it roll at 5+
Buzzgob Fix it roll at 5+
4 SAG Big Meks, with Attached Big Mek in Mega Armor - gives me the one 3+ from Mega Armor plus 3 5+ or 4 SAG shots.  If I don't move I can have them all separated and shooting at different targets.
Warboss goes with the 30 Boyz - gives some threats to things getting near and a reroll 2+ armor save if needed.
The 3 Deff Koptas are for Maelstrom.
Gretchin just get in the way like I need them too.

It might work - I took the last week off in December so the temptation to finish an Ork army during that time is great.  I just either need to figure out a cool SAG conversion or just buy the plastic one with my Frontline Writing credit.  Temptations.

I almost went and played a random assigned team event this weekend.  1000 pts per side - but my Dad came into town so that nixed it.  I built and painted some models instead.  And watched some TV Shows.  Ash Vs. the Evil Dead is great by the way.  Gonna hit up Jessica Jones later on during the winter show break.  Probably Aziz's show too.  Just watching dem Netflix.

Ok enough of that - stuff to look at.

Woot - finished this one up last night for a Client.  He saw the one I did for myself and wanted one.

Test Corsair thingie that I just wanted to paint - need to see the actual point costs etc.

This is a model I always wanted to paint - found one and painted it as a librarian.

Zoom zoom!

You will taste discipline or my blade!

Creepers!

Beatbox Nurgle Champion!

Culexus Assassin

The set up is to allow me to have majority 6+ armor, then 4+ armor for grav - plus a ton of extra wounds and character nonsense to throw things around.  Plus it is friggin huge.  The Assassin rides around with me - tempted to just have one Drop pod by dropping down to a normal chaplain for the Assassin.  That might be the best or a rhino to go putz around.

Gonna play a Battle Report this Thursday - probably going to bring this as I am itching to play my knights.

Trip Lance / Inq / Libbie Conclave
Warden, Ironstorm Missile thingie
Galant, Ironstorm Missile Thingie

I have 13 WC dice - lots of random rolls.  I could go Summoning but it is annoying to do that.  The Missile Storm thingie is gonna be good when Tiggie - gives them rending.  That is a ton of blasts coming at you haha.  Plus all those dang Stubbers are going to be a bunch of jerks.

Models and Art

I think dragon #15 or is it 18?  Who knows I got another to do for another client.

I added some wings.

Welcome to Droppod City - more coming.

This was an old junked up Libbie - fixed him up.

Speed painted storm

SPEEDERS!!!

More pods - one more to go - will do later tonight.
