Wha - a post within a few weeks of each other

I am trying to be better on updating.  Home life has gotten more stable after the move so it is easier to paint, update, and do work.  I have been currently busting out some stuff and have a few other projects to get started on.  Good times indeed.

8th has been fun - got one more event to do at the end of Sept/Oct with the Iron Halo.  I think the family is coming with me.  It will get the wife out of the house a bit and while it isn't a complete vacation for her I will be around to help with the kiddo at night.

So far the Chaos releases seems good with a ton of builds available.  There are some changes as I lost Huron's ability to "morale" fix all his Red Corsairs.  It is probably a good thing as that ability is very powerful - especially when mixed with a cheap unit.

Let's see Paint list

Bill
Finish off his tau he sent me - sending me built stuff makes my life so much easier

Mike
Finish off some sisters stuff - metal models - yuck...

James
GK start - after rain gonna prime and get started on these guys

Luis
Infinity and eventually more necromunda

Greg
Huge Knight - as I am going to be rained in I'll try to start it this weekend

Me
Finish up another Contemptor Knight - look at some other random models - pick a list to playtest
Finish Aeldari art for Frontline
I think I have some others - need to get some deposits first.
Watch the Defenders at some point

Let's see - some list thoughts right now.  I like the idea of using the Renegades Faction to try and get some super moving Berzerkers.  Warptime says you get to move like the movement phase and as you can advance and charge you can do some nutty things.  First my initial All Khorne go go go List.

CSM - Renegades Battalion Detachment
HQ: Huron - Warptime
HQ: Exalted Champion, Chain Axe
HQ: Dark Apostle
Elites: Helforged Contemptor Dreadnought, Dreadfist X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elites: Helforged Contemptor Dreadnought, Dreadfist X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elites: Helforged Contemptor Dreadnought, Dreadfist X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Troops: 10 Cultists
Troops: 10 Cultists
Troops: 10 Cultists

Supreme Command Detachment
HQ: Daemon Prince of Khorne, Wings, Malefic  Talons X 2
HQ: Daemon Prince of Khorne, Wings, Malefic  Talons X 2
HQ: Daemon Prince of Khorne, Wings, Malefic  Talons X 2
Elites: 19 Berzerkers, 18 Chain Axes, Powerfist, Icon of Wrath

You are going big, going fast, and coming in to punch the crap out of your opponent.  I know we want one Relic somewhere - not sure which one would be good.  We all get the rules of move and advance so maybe a weapon on the Exalted Champion?

The plan is to move fast with Daemons and Zerks - try to get off double move with them - they go 6+6+2d6 and then can charge 2d6 - seems pretty good.  I could make all the Daemon Princes casters - and I bet it is better.  It is something else to think about - will play it and see how it feels.

Did get a game at Wargames Con with my Lord of Skulls.  He did some work and was a pain in the butt.  I love playing him and want to figure out a list that isn't so reliant on massed Smites.

Of course as I want to play it in a Daemon Prince list - it just means I will have access to them.  Meh - so annoying.  It feels like massed Brims will be the only way to combine the Daemon Prince love I want with the Lord of Skulls.  Let's look at the straight Daemon Prince option using and Iron Warriors Supreme Command to get a cool Warlord Daemon Prince and then the glue that is the Brim Daemon Battalion to let me have bodies.

Supreme Command Detachment - Iron Warriors
HQ: Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, Wings, Malefic Talon X 2, Warp Bolter, Exoflesh Skeleton
HQ: Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, Wings, Malefic Talon X 2, Warp Bolter
HQ: Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, Wings, Malefic Talons X 2, Warp Bolter
HQ: Daemon Prince of Nurgle, Wings, Malefic Talon X 2, Warp Bolter
LoW: Lord of Skulls, Daemongore Cannon, Hades Gatling Cannon

Daemon Battalion
HQ: The Changling
HQ: Daemon Prince of Nurgle, Wings, Malefic Talon X 2, Warp Bolter
HQ: Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, Wings, Malefic Talon X 2, Warp Bolter
Troops: Horrors - 9 Brims, 1 Blue
Troops: Horrors - 9 Brims, 1 Blue
Troops: Horrors - 9 Brims, 1 Blue
Troops: Horrors - 9 Brims, 1 Blue

This is just a ton of big beefy bodies and a Lord of Skulls that shoots forward and punches something.  The Brims are just Objective secured shits with the Changling to protect them.  It also has a ton of smites with stuff that most likely won't get Nerfed.  Meh it isn't as exciting as the Renegade list for sure.

I will probably playtest the Renegades as I start to work on a Huron conversion and other options.  Will see how it works out as I start to mess with it.  The swath of Zerkers does sound neat.

Alright some models to check out and will call it a day.  A plethora of down and dirty tau mixed with the last of my Khorne Berserkers.  Woohoo.

Oh man Survived the Move

Thus why no posting for a good bit.  Lord moving sucks but I did find a ton of models haha.  I have too much stuff.  I am so ready for 8th with a ton of Ork options and hopefully a fully finished Death Guard army with some 30k bits thrown in.  So exciting eh?

Right now I am pretty stoked on the upcoming Skirmish AOS coming out.  It will get me to finish a small "Khorne" force as I continue into either a Nurgle Warband or even something else.  I like the idea of having 10-15 models, going into a quick game, and having fun.  Will see - but at 10 dollars I am picking up that book.

The room continues to get put together.  Hopefully next update will get a pic as I have some pics up - all the trades put up and even some models shown.  It feels nice to be in a much bigger house.  Woohoo.

Let's get to paint list - hopefully start back up on Painting tonight

Me
Warband stuff if I feel like it
Articles for BOLS
2 Illustrations right now - more probably coming

Greg
Big Knight guy i need to clean and start

Ryan
Clean up some Sisters of Silence and do 2 Rhinos

Nick
More GSC - build more of them - just to get ready for the new edition

Travis
Pull out the Cryx and get them started - this week will be a small bit of paint then build build build

Luis
More Infinity

Lots of stuff to do - gots to make some cash to help with the extra space hehe.  Always working it.

There isn't much to talk about list wise - I am mentally done with 7th so I am just waiting on the information to come out.  So that just leaves me some AOS stuff.  The idea of a full crusher army has me thinking of doing it.  It doesn't help I found all my old crushers that I won't use as they are all metal.  I like to do new stuff and if I decide to do this I need to do it up right.

AOS - Khorne - Bloodbound Allegiance
Brass Stampede
Khorne Lord on Juggernaut, Violent Urgency, Talisman of Burning Blood
Skull Crushers X 3, Banner, Musician - 7 units

Gore Pilgrims
Bloodsecrator
Slaughter Priests X 2
10 Blood Reavers
5 Blood Warriors

Bloodstoker

That seems fun - lots of Juggers, some bodies to run behind and portal action to get work.  If I get the double turn I should hurt people pretty good hehe.  I doubt I will find time to paint it - maybe do it as a slow build as I get more and more pieces during my travels,  trades, etc.

Alright - lets look at some models and artwork and call it a day.

Goatboy's nonsense...

Been a bit - work has been nutty - thus life is a bit busy in-between monster child, wife, life, and work.  And models - lots of models to paint.  Blah I will be buys till probably next year.  And longer then that.  To give you an idea

Got to finish my daemon stuff - just screamers.

Gene stealer cult for client

Infinity for another client

A small bit of Infinity for a coworker

Some Space Wolf stuff for another client - Bjorn and some sky claws most likely

Cryx for another client

Finish off a Chaos commission

And some Frontline art and other stuff.

It just never ends for me haha.

Been testing against the one and only Ben Mohile - which leaves me getting my ass kicked by weird shit.  This last time - gladius of salamanders - massed flamers.  It does a number on my dogs and screamers I am testing.  I can keep the Star alive - it is trying to keep up with the maelstrom.  That is the issue at hand.  Meh...

Next test for the weekend will be a massed MSU incursion list that I think might work.

I got 2 versions with differences based on the Warlord.

Version 1

Incursion
Daemon Lord: Lord of Change, Lvl 3, Paradox, Greater Gift X 2
Core: Murder Horde
Herald of Khorne
Flesh Hounds X 5 - 8 units
Aux: Burning Skyhost
Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, The book of All Tzeentch spells for warlord
Screamers X 3 - 9 units

This one gets a close combat monster with the Lord of change - plus the ability to have some nifty warlord traits like +1 inv save to him and all the Tzeentch guys near.  Casting on a 3+, ignore first perils, etc.  I don't know if Paradox is needed - but I think there will be times I am just summoning that chariot over and over.  Will see.

Second one drops the LOC - gets Paradox on the herald and gets Fateweaver for some storm fixing and all the tzeentch spells again.  I get the feeling this one might be better - but will see.  Gonna test it and see how I like it.  I think I need to make sure to have good objective placement so I can stop pods from dropping too close etc.  Save me some future head ache.

Beyond that I might test this thing too - just to play the Kharn I painted up.

Gorepack
Bikes X 3
Bikes X 3
Flesh Hounds X 15
Flesh Hounds X 15
Flesh Hounds X 10

Cabal
Sorc, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Fam, Vet, Stave
Sorc, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Fam, Vet, Axe
Sorc, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Fam, Vet, Axe
Sorc, Bike, Lvl 3, Spell Fam, Vet, Axe

CSM CAD
Kharn - Warlord
Chaos Lord, MoK, Juggernaut, Sigil, Axe of Blinding Fury, Meltabomb
Cultists X 10
Cultists X 10

Figure this one might be ok - has a ton of bodies and a mean ole counter attack with Kharn putting the damage out as needed.  Plus so many bodies to control the board.  I need to use the scout to keep things at bay for sure.  This might be what I bring to test out real quick for fun.  Will see.

Ok lots of models and I call it a night.

Life has been busy

 

Doesn't mean I wasn't working - but I have been busy.  Did ATC, finished some paint commissions, wrote BOLS articles, tried to keep ahead at work, and went for 2 promotions which I didn't get.  So sad times but hey - I still got work so that is good right haha.

Ok - enough of that - paint stuff etc - then lots of random stuff.

ME
Frontline AOS art - got some of the groups to do
BOLS article - probably a what lists look interesting from ATC/Web
Maybe some weird conversion stuff - but it all depends on what list I plan on taking for War-games con
More art as usual.

Nick R
Finish bikers and then start on battle company

Brandon V
Finish some Tau and some big centurion conversions - have to figure em out

Vince
2 Daemon Prince Conversions - should be fun - right up my alley

James L
Should see a Chaos army start to paint

Luis
More iron hands to work on - should build em tonight.

I think that is it for now - will see I might have forgotten something.  I don't remember everything al the time haha.  I just want to knock out some stuff so it can get out of my house hehe.

List thoughts - just wrote up this dumb GK idea - I don't know if it will even work but it looks goofy.

Nemesis Strike Force

GK Librarian, Lvl 3, The Book to give him more powers, Staff

GK Librarian, Lvl 3, Staff

Purifiers X 10, 2 Psycannonys, 6 Halberds, 2 Hammer

Strike Squad X 5

Nemesis Strike Force

GK Librarian, Lvl 3, Staff

GK Librarian, Lvl 3, Staff

Purifiers X 10, 2 Psycannonys, 6 Halberds, 2 Hammer

Strike Squad X 5

UM Librarian Conclave

Tiggie Smalls

Librarian, Lvl 2, Terminator Armor, Axe, SS

Librarian, Lvl 2, Terminator Armor, Axe, SS

Idea is to use the GK libbies to get Gate and teleport around since I can't ride around in drop pods anymore.  I don't know if it would even work - but it could be fun as hell.  Plus you start on the table top and get moving across the field with teleports, and other dumb tricks.  Plus you got a ton of spells you can throw.  I could just do it with a ton of terminators and use Teleport homers to get around.  Tiggie would get swapped for another Terminator guy and maybe I run Dread Knights?  Meh - trying to get GK to work damnit.

Meh - it would be goofy to see.  I guess it depends on how well you do with Sanctic powers.  It is fun to think of a few Vortex's floating around the table top.

Plus the idea with all Terminators could use Teleport homers as one guy shoots forward and you start to stack around him to cast more spells.

Right now I am currently embroiled in a Tetrad thought process.  I am looking at a Tetrad and a Burning Skyhost combo.  I don't have Warp Storm control but I have MSU and a Paradox herald which can help me control things.  I might have enough MSU to not need Paradox but this is an initial thought list.

Tetrad

DP, MoK, Wings, Armor of Scorn, Greater X 2, Lesser X 1

DP, MoT, Wings, Greater X 2, Lesser X 1, Lvl 3, Flyer Ace - Warlord

DP, MoS, Wings, Greater X 2, Lvl 3

DP, MoN, Wings, Greater X 2

Sky Host

Herald, Disc, Paradox, Lvl 2

Screamers X 3 - 9 Units

Just shoots around the table and while it can't corrupt it will do some damage.  Plus it has Paradox to ensure summoning or something else is doable.  And there is enough guys to help control things towards the DP's etc as they fly around.  I took off the Robe on the MoT guy as I don't have Fate to control Leadership checks.  I could add it back as that guy isn't going to be throwing 5+ dice to cast summoning spells so he most likely won't get perils to fall down or die etc when he takes a wound.  It is an idea - Flyer Ace might be better as the Warlord Trait of +1 inv save and +1 to Tzeentch daemons mixed with a +1 from the flyer ace means he gets down to a 3+/2+ etc without the fear of eating it to a leadership check.  I was hoping to get a game in today but my buddy seems to have gotten busy.  It just means I can spend more time finding screamers.

ATC was a lot of fun.  The escalation table screwed me one game where I was -1 to D's, Stomps, etc vs an Iron Hands star.  It meant I couldn't kill him at all with my knights and the mission was set up to favor death stars.  Meh that was a bad loss and I had another at the hands of Geoff.  Dice went tits up for me and Geoff had the luck I had in our first game where everything came up 6's.  His army was strong too - but when the dice favors one it doesn't matter I just lay there like a noodle - letting that beastly dude wreck me hehe.

Alright models and other stuff.

Woot Knight knocked out!

KoW army done!

Flying Dakka dakka!
