Another model dump and art work

Woohoo - still busy as heck.  I finished up basically 2 armies in 2 weeks for a buddy going to Adepticon - thus all the Nids and Nurgle AOS you will see down below.  Crazy stuff indeed.  Right now just waiting on rumored FAQ before I really start to bust out some testing for Alamo.  Currently messing with the following.

Iron Warriors Vanguard Detachment
HQ: Daemon Prince, Wings, Slaanesh, Warp Bolter, Fleshmetal Exoskeleton - Warlord
Troops: Cultists X 30, MoS
Elite: Helforged Contemptor, Chainclaw X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elite: Helforged Contemptor, Chainclaw X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elite: Helforged Contemptor, Chainclaw X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elite: Helforged Contemptor, Chainclaw X 2, Soul Burner X 2
Elite: Helforged Contemptor, Chainclaw X 2, Soul Burner X 2

Death Guard Spearhead Detachment
HQ: Daemon Prince, Wings, The Plate
Heavy: Plagueburst Crawler with default 2 plaguespitters etc
Heavy: Plagueburst Crawler with default 2 plaguespitters etc
Heavy: Plagueburst Crawler with default 2 plaguespitters etc

My question comes down to - either going with the DG Daemon Prince as my warlord, go with their warlord trait and just not do cultists and instead a bunch of Pox Walkers to just be the Bubble wrap.  It is a thought.  Or don't go Iron Warriors, go Alpha legion and have -1 to hit Contemptors.  Crazy thoughts etc etc.  It is almost all done - just waiting on one more Contemptor to come in.  I got other ideas - and will post about them more at some point.

Let's get to painting

Me
1 more Contemptor
Lots of Frontline Art - have to knock out a ton of AOS army art.
Some other art here and there for people as well.  Trying to remember it all - email me if you haven't heard from me in awhile.

Luis
Guildball stuff -  got another crew to build but first one is built
Then it is onto other stuff for Luis

Greg
Some Custodes are coming...

Anthony
Harlies - got another unit built and some characters up for this week

Lance
Some Mantic hordes of Orcs - first one is getting worked on right now.

The old NecroOrks has the buyer having me paint some more - so they are coming too

Ryan
DKK and some FW Space Wolves - Wolves are coming first probably built this week and maybe painted on stream - will see.

Brandon
Finish up on some LoTD bikers

And I think I got some AOS chaos coming and maybe some Tau.  Lord have mercy it never ends for me.

Alright - enough of this lets look at some models and art - there is a ton of it.

Sorry - Took a bit of a mind break

Got some commissions done and out of the way - just have the huge Necromunda/Catachan/Thing and a few bits of CSM. Then it is just my own stuff to do for a bit. Some Tau will be coming in later too. So lots of neat random things coming up. Beyond that I got art to do and other fun stuff so Goatboy will be all good.

Tires are expensive. I knew I was saving cash up for something - and Tires was what it was. Woohoo. But I needed them right. Lord that could be a whole lot of plastic hahah.

Wrote the following DE list to "mentally" and probably physically test. I don't know if it is any good but it helps deal with the Kill Point disadvantage that is inherent to the Dark Eldar game experience. I get 3 games in of 40k with 2 wins and 1 loss. I played Orks, SW, and Daemons. Lots of things to rework on the Daemon army as it might be a good dark horse army for Adepticon and its Kill Point dominating missions. Fixing the MSU/Mass Boxes issue eh?

Anyway Dark Eldar list for thoughts.

HQ: Baron
HQ: Haemonculus X 2, Webway Portal X 2
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blaster X 3
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blaster X 3
Elites: Trueborn X 3, Blaster X 3
Troops: Wyches X 10, Haywire Grenades, Hydra Gauntlets X 2, Siren, Agoniser
Troops: Wyches X 10, Haywire Grenades, Hydra Gauntlets X 2, Siren, Agoniser
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Sybarite
Troops: Hellions X 10, Heliarch, Agoniser
FA: Beastmasters X 5, Khymarae X 20, Clawed Fiend

So basically I can have the Baron attach to the Warriors with 2 Haemonculus to give them a most likely 3+ cover save followed by a 4+ FNP to help make sure the Haemonculus can move up 6 and drop portals. Everyone else will hopefully run out and be able to fleet or get somewhere to hurt something. The massed Haywire grenades are for vehicles and dreadnoughts. Again this is a thought list and it helps break the whole Killpoint issue. 12 KP is not bad at all :).

Been thinking of other Foot style armies that are designed to give the Middle Finger to massed Razer/Raider/ML/Etc spam. I got some Logan ideas that might work - with massed anti vehicle fire power from fearless troops who have a 4+-3+ cover save due to some nutty options. A lot of the game is getting to the point of trying to invalidate your opponents offensive. Either by ignore certain rules of the game (fearless, stubborn) or by making much of their forces power useless when a 4+ cover save is involved. Hell that should be an article for BOLS at some point haha.

As you saw on Friday I am working on a Word Bearers army for myself and have had a good time build the scheme. I showed some of the "bikers" and will show case other bits of the models as I finish building and designing the army. I am trying to make a one style army so I don't have to "waste" as much time making models that don't fit. Will see if I can still keep that promise hah.

Current Daemons List I will play to test people's armies etc.

HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Chariot, Master of Sorcery, Breath of Chaos, Bolt of Tzeentch
