Friday and I got the Day off!

Which means I will be painting models.  I need to get in gear on the Wargames Army - What I have done is below.  Plus I have to mentally prepare for the Alamo.  Ok never mind I will just play games hahaha.  The Tau seem frustrating to play against.  They go completely against what I find enjoyable and if they start to infiltrate a lot of the upper tables it will be an annoying set of games.  They just shoot - which isn't very exciting hah.  But oh well - if that is what people want to play then I will just look forward to seeing them in tournaments and most likely not for funsy's.

I still think Crons are better overall as they cover more of the stuff you need to win.  Still - blargh.  I won't be playing them.  Their rules and cost don't entice me.  But for those wanting more Xenos - this is your year!  I am just waiting on Orks for right now haha.

What I sent to the Alamo people for my list.

HQ: Keeper of Secrets, Greater Gifts X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Caster, Locus of Conjuration
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Caster
Troops: Plague Bearers X 10
Troops: Plague Bearers X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 20, Iridescent Horror
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker

Pretty basic and simple.  It might work.  Obviously I have the Book trick and the Portal.  Will see if it ends up being ok.  Blargh indeed!

I don't think the Horror blob will work - as I could easily dump them and get something else.  It is really just thoughts and I think the dog bomb might work with some tricks involved.  Will see.

This is the list that I think I should play - if you wanted just a straight forward Daemon Bomb Smash MC 4000!

HQ: Keeper of Secrets, Greater Gift, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Psyker
HQ: Lord of Change, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3 Psyker
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10, Iridescent Horror
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10, Iridescent Horror
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10, Iridescent Horror
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker

Basic and simple.  Fun stuff indeed.

Played a game with my Alamo list.  It did alright - I got owned the first few turns and was able to bring it back when my Daemon opponent didn't get an Iron Arm off and I had one on a flying MoS prince who enfeebled the jerk once.  Instant death whips are pretty good I hear?

You need the level 3's to help get Iron Arm when you need it - and Hallucination as well.  It just gives you more chances.  Fun stuff indeed.

The Wargames Con painted army is coming along - you should see the Dragon in a few days.  Woohoo!  It is a conversion and it should be a nice center piece for the raffle army.

With that - let's look at some models.

More Dark Angels!

30 Jerks!  Set up in small batches of 10 to allow for the winner to have 3 troop choices if they want.

Converted Chaos Lord - the Plague Marines will have the similar evil star fish gut explosion like this guy.

His sword arm was bunk - so I added this.  If you are playing Sorcerer's you should be using Force Staves.  Much better choice then a sword.

Got bored and drew this and colored it after doing Plastic Dudesmen last week.  Bubba wants his bottle!

Alright - with that in mind the paint list at the end as well.

Plastic Dudesmen - Got a script - time to draw

Woohoo I survived WarGamesCon/BolsCon

This weekend was a hell of a lot of fun and I got to talk face to face to a ton of people. Hopefully I didn't piss anyone off and get a nice round of cheater mic cheaterson comments on my supposed Casino dice :). Kidding aside this event was a lot of fun. I mean seriously, we leave our hometowns/basements to have a weekend of fun with only conversations about little plastic models, beer, and hopefully some mindless bitching about bad dice rolling.

I judged most of the event and only played in the team tournament and was the ringer at the end of the Winners Bracket. I played with Brent from Strictly Average and I had a blast in all 3 games. In fact, even though our armies were unoptimized we did pretty well with what we had to play with. So all in all it was an awesome time. Here is a very brief hazy memory Battle Report.

I was playing massed Grey Hunters and Brent was with Footdar. I almost wanted to stop Eldrad's mental shenanigans with a 4+ from my Rune Priest but I decided not too.

Game 1 - Chaos Marines and Tyranids. First of all, I accidentally marked them as a Good game versus a Great game. These guys fucking rocked and deserved a Great Game. I was dumb and tired but they were great. They had shirts and were called Chaotic Gribbles or something like that. They wore purple shirts. They had some Tervigons, hormagaunts, and other things too. We ended up winning and I got to JaWs out a tervigon like a jerkface. They blew up some termagaunts, they pooped themselves and ran off of the board like a bunch of whiney babies. Great game with some good guys. I think they were named Dan and Mike? They were not from around these parts and drove down to have some fun in the hot hot heat of Texas.

Game 2 - Orks and Daemons with the name of Korks. It was a father and son team, Caleb and Bill. I played Bill last year at Bolscon and I got lucky with a seize the initiative that took out some fire from his Marines. I also made all my saves on my nob biker squad too. It was not the most fun game for Bill and he wanted to apologize to me. I told him that I knew the game went south with that steal and not to worry, we were going to have fun here. And we did. It was a great game that had us winning by 10 or so points in the end. He had some Plague Bearers left that my Grey Hunters just couldn't kill. Awesome game and a great looking army to boot. The Plague Bearer conversions were awesome.

Game 3 - Was versus Team Twilight. Space Wolves and Blood Angels. First of all, a big thank you to Mike for giving me that purity seal. All weekend long I had people asking me where I got it. That thing is awesome and I think Mike should make more then the ones for his opponents and sell them for beer money. It was awesome. Kenny was the other player and it was great to finally play him too. Their armies look amazing on the table top and the game was a lot of fun. I did get to JaWs a Saga of the Bear guy off the table so at least I did something cool. We lost this game like some Sad Pandas but all in all it was a fun time.

I ended up playing as a ringer and had 3 good games too. I got lucky and got to play Romeo from Battle Foam and barely squeaked out a 26 to 25 win. It was a lot of fun and Romeo kicks some ass. As do his bags. I should have made him give me a bag by beating him haha.

But really this weekend was a lot of fun and I hope more people come next year. We doubled in size from the year before and I didn't hear a single bitch and moan throughout the weekend. I think next year we will jump up a bunch more and hopefully have a monster sized team event. 8th edition fantasy will be fully ready to play and I think we will have a banner year for miniature beatdowns.

After watching Brent's Daemon army work I have decided I am going to start thinking about throwing together one. It will give me something to do that isn't so Goatheaded :). Look for some thoughts in the coming weeks as I get the plans together for my Heralds and Fiend thoughts. This army won't be metal at all so I need to do some serious planning. Initial list thought is below.

HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Chariot of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Chariot of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Chariot of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Chariot of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos
Elites: Fiends of Slaanesh X 6, Unholy Strength
Elites: Fiends of Slaanesh X 6, Unholy Strength
Elites: Blood Crushers X 5, Fury of Khorne, Unholy Icon, Musical Instrument
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
Troops: Plague Bearers X 5
Heavy: Daemon Prince, Mark of Tzeentch, Doombolt, Breath of Chaos
Heavy: Daemon Prince, Mark of Tzeentch, Doombolt, Breath of Chaos
Heavy: Daemon Prince, Mark of Tzeentch, Doombolt, Breath of Chaos

That sits right at 2000 points and might create an interesting army to mess around with. I got the basic idea for my Herald, I just need to make it to see if it works :). Look for some more thoughts on Space Wolves this week too.

We have BOLSCon/WarGames Con next week

And I will be judging the big event and just playing in the Teams event on Friday. I will be teamed up with Jawaballs and it should be a fun Space Goats/Blood Angels party down time. I didn't want to go with a crazy set up and told Jawaballs to handle the long range stuff. So here is the list I decided to play. I call it - I LIKE GREY HUNTERS!!!

HQ: Rune Priest, JaWs, Living Lightning
Troops: Grey Hunters X 9, Power Weapon, Mark of The Wolfen, Flamer, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 10, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wolfen, Meltagun X 2, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 10, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wolfen, Plasma Gun X 2, Plasma Pistol, Drop Pod
Troops: Grey Hunters X 10, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wolfen, Meltagun X 2, Drop Pod

That is at 1000 pts. I think it will work nicely as I can easily bolter the crap out of a lot of armies, have enough melta to deal with LR idiocy and I have some nice counter attacks etc to bring along for the ride. And mix this with some decent anti infantry fire power too and I think things are ok. It isn't the best, but I think it will be fun. I just finished the second Drop Pod today so I am r ready.

Jawa is looking at playing Sanguinor and some other stuff. So his +1 Attack to all friendly models will be super fun :). Counter attack my FIST!!!

I also finished my 5th full Grey Hunter squad too. Fun times as now I have 50 guys total. Check out the Full of Monkey site with pics of it. Beyond that I finished some Empire stuff and some Skinks. Next week I will get some nids done as well as look at starting the White Scars army. WOOHOO!!!

This weekend it is finish some terrain building and playtest with Darkwynn some ETC match ups to see how it goes. I get to play lots of games versus IG. Joy hah. I want to build 2 Typhoon speeders for my goats and probably look at finishing off a few models to get another full Grey Hunter squad done. I am just wanting more and more troops lately. It helps my army has decent troops, but I think most can use some. I also need to redo my WoC for Fantasy and see where I need to go there too. Hooray hah.

What is everyone else working on?
