I am sure there are other things I am forgetting.  I got a lot of stuff in the queue right now too.  Plus more emails.  I think I will never not be busy.

Current GK/BA list that I am working on completing.

HQ: Libbie, Level 3, Book that gives extra Santic - Warlord
HQ: Libbie, Level 3
Elites: Purifiers X 10, Incinerators X 4
Elites: Purifiers X 10, Incinerators X 4
Elites: Purifiers X 10, Incinerators X 4
Troops: Strike Squad X 5
Heavy: Dreadknight, Heavy Psycannon, Hammer, Heavy Psiliencer

Flesh Tearers thingie
HQ: Libbie, Lvl 2, Force Axe
Troops: Tactical Squad X 5, Meltagun, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
FA: Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun X 2, Drop Pod
FA: Drop Pod
FA: Drop Pod
FA: Drop Pod

Sits at 1850 - but I just don't know about the Dreadknight - it does give me some help versus Knights and it hitting a bunch with its Strength 10.  Sanctuary up and it could survive.  Will see.  I don't know if the Heavy Psycannons are worth it either.  But I plan on getting it built and started.  Beyond that there is this Super  Thunder Dome I want to try too - Khorne theme cuz eff it.

SW Champs of Fenris - aka The BS Glue and Dark Angels CAD plus assassin
DA Cad
HQ: Sammie
HQ: Inter Chappie, Bike, PF
Elite: Ravenwing Command Squad X 4, Apocathery
Troops: Scouts X 5
Troops: Scouts X 5

SW Champs
HQ: WGBL, Thunder, SS, Runic, PF, Fenris X 2
HQ: WGBL, Thunder, SS, Runic, PF, Fenris X 2
HQ: WGBL, Thunder, SS, Runic, PF, Fenris X 2
HQ: WGBL, Thunder, SS, Runic, PF, Fenris X 2
Elite: Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 4
Elite: Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 3

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
Crusader, Battle Cannon, Ironstorm Missile thingie

Inq detachment
HQ: Cortez
HQ: Mallius Inq, Servo Skulls X 3, Psyker
Elite: Warrior Accolyte X 2, Psyker
Elite: Warrior Accolyte X 2, Psyker
Elite: Crusader X 4, Psyker

Librarian Conclave - Primary Detachment
HQ: Tiggie
HQ: Librarian, Lvl 2
HQ: Librarian, Lvl 2

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.

My version of Chandra from Magic

Woot - this week is gonna be long

So this week is gonna be rough for production.  I have to fly out to NC on Tuesday for a work meeting and will be coming back Wednesday night.  Then I fly out Thursday night to head to Las Vegas.  Woohoo - I will be tired.  I did this so I can spend some time with the family before I leave for the bright lights and bad for me food of Las Vegas.

You saw the list I plan on taking the last few days and I have played it more then once.  I like it and it continues my love of FMC's.  If you didn't see it before here it is again.

HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3, Wings, Armor
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Troops: Nurglings X 3
Heavy: Daemon Prince of Tzeetch, Exalted, Greater, Lvl 3, Wings, Armor
Heavy: Daemon Prince of Tzeentc, Exalted, Greater, Lvl 3, Wings, Armor

HQ: Daemon Prince of Slaahes, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3, Wings, Armor
Troops: Nurglings X 3

Basically a good ole FMC list with some answers to Knights with Lash of Submission MoS princes.  This is the basic idea on how to roll for my powers.

1st - Fateweaver - see what weird combos I get off of him -
Malefic - Cursed Earth and Incursion or Default
Pyromancy - Default Power
Telepathy - Shrouding or Default
Divination - Precog, Perfect Timing, Forewarning, or Default
Biomancy - Endurance, Iron Arm, or Default

2nd - Both MoT princes
2 Rolls on Malefic then take default Telepathy or Shrouding

3rd - Both MoS princes
2-3 Rolls on Biomancy and then Default Telepathy for Psychic Shriek

I run them this way as it gives me options to take out Nurgle stuff with massed Psychic Shrieks.  Plus I can easily roll low amounts of dice for initial powers and then try to get an Incursion off as needed.  It might work - so will see.  I will tell you right now - Psychic Shriek is gonna make people made.  It also helps versus some of the MC LoW as they can cause wounds to them.

Quick work list to give an idea on where I am at right now.

Me -
2 Bols Articles - Done - I won't have time next weekend to write one up so I went ahead and go a Harlie article in the can
6 Goat Scouts to build and paint
1 Storm Talon to build and paint
Logo for Game group art - not drawn yet but might get done later on tonight
Frontline Dropzone - All done as of Today!
Star Wars character art - Done yesterday!
Banner for Horus Heresy thing - will be drawing it this week as I fly around
Art for Adepticon team shirt - need to start it after LVO
I got some other art in the works too - so will see if they get to me with full ideas

Mike K
1 Heavy Weapons team
1 Chimera - try to get this done so it can all fly with me to LVO.

James L
Tau Riptide - almost done with the first one
Tau Piranaha #3 - Primed

Luis
Storm Raven - need to build and paint
Drop pods too - need to build and paint

Brandon V
1 more Sicarian - it is soaking now - might build it on Thursday before I leave - will see.

I am sure other stuff will come about too.  Depending on what is going on.  I might have a ton of Knights to do too.

Let't get the model/art showcase done and I can call it a day.

GOATS!

Again ignore the base.

Some Frontline Dropzone Commander Arts

Gaming group logo.

Some Harlie arts

Logo design again.

CRONS!

New Star Wars comics are great!

Sunday Posts - hopefully a continuation

That is the plan anyway - got a good amount of work done this week - plus baby stuff.  Yay!!! It is looking like my next event is going to be LVO.  1850 - most likely 2 sources so that means probably something evil - unless I can get my Orks working right.  The current thought list is trying to use Maulerfiends plus other things in order to help me deal with Knights and what not.

Basic CSM shell - works in any CSM choice.

Cultists X 10
Cultists X 10
Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils
Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils
Maulerfiend, Lasher Tendrils

Comes out to 505 points.  From there I am thinking the following would work from the Ally side.

Bel'Akor
Pink Horrors x 16
Nurglings X 3

That comes out to 638 points and gives me 6 WC right there.  I might try to add in more Pink Horrors or just need one set depending on what HQ's I run over on the CSM side.

From there I thought maybe a Void Shield Generator with 2 more shields to help keep me safe from alpha strikes.  I think it stuffs Grav weapons as it only goes away for a penetrating hit - but those weapons never roll to penetrate so maybe it means the shield keeps the brown noise away.

Void Shield Generator - 100pts

From there - I don't know what else to do.  I can go the Straight FMC route if I wanted too.

Crimson Slaugher
DP, MoN, Armor, Wings, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Gift of Mutation
DP, MoN, Armor, Wings, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Gift of Mutation

This means I add in another 10 cultists to round it out - but do they really do any good?  Still I sit at 12 WC - I have some reroll abilities on the DP's so my numbers get smaller for throwing smaller spells and I might be able to make the min 500 pts to make a decent summoning list.  The DP's can hit flyers - not very well but still they can so it might not be a terrible idea.  The other thought was Sorc on Bikes with Chaos Spawn.

CSM Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
CSM Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar
Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN

I have to get rid of the 3rd Cultists squad and now I can add more random things to the Sorcerers.  I generate a lot of warp charge dice and if I get rid of the Void Shield generator I might go to two squads of pink horrors to create a true factor of daemon summoning.  Just more ideas that I like to think over - I think it has to do with painting Maulerfiends for a client.  Heck I could look at adding a Soul Grinder to make it a complete evil daemon robot army.

Heck I also like the idea of running 2 Khorne Lords on Juggers with Chaos Spawn - they are a hell of a lot of fun to go punch things with heh.  Plus I love painting up a new one :).

Ok that is where my brain is list wise - let's talk the painting list.

Me
Bols Article - Written yesterday
Frontline Art - many things I have to do
Finish 10 Pink Horrors for Feast of Blades
Finish 10 Plague Bearers for Feast of Blades
Start working on new article idea - kind of a monthly build something weird and new combo kit walk through type of thing - it is an idea.

Greg
Land Raider Crusader - once the Feast stuff is knocked out I can get to work on client stuff

Travis
More Cryx stuff to do - caster on a horse

Tim
More Marines from Dark Angels - biker guys

Will
10 Flesh hounds of Khorne

Don
Cygnar stuffs

Luis
More stuff most likely

Caleb
Necro Orks - look for the trukk conversions - they look pretty damned neat.

Really I always have work to do hah.  I had to clean up my paint area for the carpet coming in - then I get to recreate it a bit more - moveable with the baby boy coming.  Shit it is 3 weeks away and I am very very excited.  Got to see my niece today at my Brother in Laws and she is getting more personality.  That is when babies get exciting to me as they start to become little monsters.

Alright - let's look at some minis.  I hope to get a game in this Thursday with some kind of build like the Chaos one above.  I want to see if I should get more of my Maulerfiends done up.

You can see where the list came from.

Test SG Thunder Wolf Cav like guy - the plan for the army was each Thunder Wolf like option would look different - so people could figure it out easier.

More Flesh Tearers

These models are a pain to build haha.

Client gave me the idea - look for the other ones coming soon.

Starting working on some Frontline Batrep art for Warmachine/Hordes.

Tweaked stamp for the Athens open - love the Grot.

Quick Post before I head to bed

I painted a lot this weekend.  I took Friday off and had Monday as well.  Got the carpet ordered - hopefully get the car thing resolved sometime next week and hopefully keep my bank account from bleeding way too much.  That is always the hope.

Celebrated 5 awesome years of marriage with the lovely wife this Friday.  Man we got married at one of the hottest times in Texas haha.  Still - I hope for 5 more years of my wife looking at me like I am crazy for being so obsessed with plastic figures.  I probably bought the last major thing for me - Nagash book today.  I really like the fluff.  Shit the Chaos one might change that - but hell I could always sell my Chaos Knights.

Those who were at Nova - sorry I couldn't make it.  Hopefully my Chaos knights look good being piloted by Gareth.  I should get them back sometime this week.  If I get lucky I can have them by the weekend for a local event.  I hope anyway haha.  Let's do the paint list.

Me
Article
Some more art to do and get done before the weekend.  Hope to get some early morning time on Saturday.  I got some more orders so will see what I can get done.
I might get some time to build that Chaos Warlord/Daemon Prince Dreadknight idea I have the parts for.  Plus I got some other parts to for more Goat wolves.

Luis
5 More Devs - Primed
1 Apocathery - Primed
I think 15 or so more marines

Tim
3 More Rhinos
Then I get to look at the new box of stuff

Caleb
More Necro ork goodness

Greg
Land Raider to replace the GK.  Inquisitor style - probably red based with a grey set of colors to break it apart.

Anthony
1 Jugger Chaos Lord Primed
2 Mauler fiends

Travis
5 Horse guys from Cryx
Small caster dude
Some other weird Merc guy with a mask

I have other stuff too - will see if I pull them out to get them started.  Don has some Warmachine stuff I am waiting to knock out some other things more.  It just never ends for me eh?  I think I crave consistent working environments.

Ok - some models no real army lists. I don't have time to break apart some ideas until I get all my toys back hah.

Man this jerk looks cool.  There are some more crazy things - built by White Metal Games

This is the Dark Age combo I talked about in my Bols article. Wings are from the Balrog I randomly had.  Yeah for being a bits hoarder.

More Flesh Tearers.

This initial batch is nearing its end!

We got super fists!

Did this one Tonight.  Painted 3 so far.

Did these guys yesterday.

He was done last night too. First Kharn ever too.

Same with these guys.  Plus that Dark Age Daemon Prince too - went a little nutty Labor day.

Oh yeah - some art - text is going to go on it and some other tweaking.
