Wow this is late -

I had 2 weeks of family stuff that kept me from posting.  I did do work - so that was good at least.  So with that - lets do a paint list - its a doozy now.

Me
Art and stuffs Some Adepticon Army shirt drawings to do - should be fun some buddies and it is gasp - more marines but pre heresy so yay!
Article for Bols for the next week
Maybe start more of the Word Bearers Wulfen thing - lists about it.

Nick R
Finish marines - he isn't playing heavily right now so it is just sitting there staring at me - some of the last few bikes

Ryan H
Lots of Space Wolves - one box is almost done - then another box of stuffs

Mike K
More Space Sharks... Lord who would have thought I was going to paint some - part of the LVO bet between me, Alan PJ Pants, and Mike - whoever got the lowest, the best got to pick their army for the next year.  It wasn't me haha - woot!

Greg S
More Marines and a Knight and other things..

Brandon V
More LoTD marines - a big pile of them

Don
More random stuff - damn I need to open that box and get to not paint marines

Luis
IH marines after I knock out some necromunda stuff.

That is it for now - it is a bunch of huge lots and lots of Marine stuff.  Maybe I will get more of my Possessed Wulfen done - so will see.  If not it is playing the stuff I already have painted for me.

Trying to go to some events this year.  Doing some art for this event in Oklahoma.  It sounds like I can make it so that is bad ass.  Want to do ATC this year depending on how we get the team as well as BAO too.  I would hope will see.

Let's do some list stuff.

Current Word Bearers Bringing of Chaos Wulfen Space Wolves list.

It is a big fat foot army that can do some dumb tricks depending on what I roll on the Wulfen chart to start the game.  We shall see haha.  But you will see the models that will make up the Wulfen down below.

Ok - enough of that - lets do some models.

The Finish of Carl's Bikes!

Random Librarian I did if I wanted to change up the GK/Purifer Thing

My First Wulfen/Possessed

The start of the next pack of them.

Random Necro munda woot!

Woot Space Wolves!

Art

Frontline work woot!

Goatboy - 40k and other stuff!

Another day painting. I had a crazy weekend. I got some educational commission work done, finished the Chaos Reaver Titan, got my weekly miniature painting sprayed (most of it), and did some art work for another client. Fun fun fun. Basically I woke up, started working and tried not to get too bogged down. The life of a freelancer can be annoying - especially when you have a day job to make things fit bill wise :).

Looks like peeps are mad at me again online. I think it comes from me writing a lot and being a "face" most of the time. Everyone who has met me has not said anything terrible about me. Well not to my face hah. Still it is kinda funny - especially to those who chat with me online. The hated Goatboy. I should just change my name to Hateboy. If I did that Mr. Black would have to stop hating me though. He has that unnatural fear of Goat like animals.

So to get things started - current paint this week.

Me
Word Bearers/Grammar Wolves - Final squad to be completed - a Heavy Bolter/ML long fang squad.

John H
Oblitertators X 3 - Metal Ones - Just finished them Today!!! Woot

Jens
4 Old Skool Bloodletters - Finished them today
5 Man Noise Marine Squad - Primed
1 Winged Sorc - Primed

Luis P
10 More Necromunda dudes - Primed
10 More Necromunda - Maybe - need to build them

Nick R
5 Menoth Dudes - Primed

Michael S.
Ork Bomba thingie - was going to be this weekend but art and Reaver took up the time

Jay/Me
3 Heralds of Tzeentch - I want one more and need to make 2 for Jay - he doesn't have time to paint right now so it is usually put off with the Grinder
Soul Grinder - Above :(

I still have some more educational art commission work and another piece I need to try and get knocked out. So again this will be a busy week. This month is going to be crappy as my weekends are filled with going to friend's weddings. Why does March have to be pretty in Texas?

Current Grammar Wolves Builds - Most likely final Build.

HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike, Meltabombs
HQ: Wolf Lord, Bike, Wolf Claws X 2, Runic Armor, Belt of Russ, Meltabombs
HQ: Wolf Guard Battle Leader, Bike, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Wolf Tooth Necklace, Wolf Tail Talisman
Elites: Wolf Guard X 5
WG 1 - Power Armor, Bike, Powerfist, Storm Shield - 1
WG 2 - Power Armor, Combi-Plasma, Powerfist - 1
WG 3 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist - 2
WG 4 - Terminator Armor, CML - 1

FA: Swift Claws X 5, Power Weapon, Attack Bike, MM
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, HB X 3, ML X 2

1850 on the nose.

I can take down 3 light things with the set up of Long Fangs. I got a lot of troops and other bits and pieces. It has different HQ characters too - given the idea of the Captain, Chaplin, and Squad Leader type of guy. It has a Wolf Claw dude riding a horse - which is funny as hell looking haha. So I think it will work and be it. I need to find one more Heavy Bolter dude and I will be done!

I played two games with the Storm Ravens. I lost to Big Red on a turn 5 Fritz win :). And I won versus JWolf when I made almost all the 4+ cover save hits on the Storm Ravens and then watched as my stuff got mixed in and killed stuff. I think everything I shot I killed or hurt - with a gun that JWolf shot scatter on himself and blow up his own tank. It was just one of those games for him.

I think Marines would benefit the most from the Storm Raven if they got it. Wolves would have some issues as it would be a heavy and take up Long Fang spots for a rather expensive vehicle. If they could fit Thunder Wolves in there it would be an auto in - but thankfully it most likely can't so we won't have to worry about that BS. It would be fun to get Bjorn into the zone more though. Of course he wouldn't attach via the Anus like normal dreads. It would be crotch all the time haha.

Alright - enough of that here are some painted things. The Reaver will get better pics later this week and then it is shipped off to Canada.

Goatboy - Blargh! It is Monday!

I had to work Friday last week so I only work 3 days this week. Hooray for weeks that start on "Friday". That means the Monday is actually my Monday. Poop! Oh well. It also means a kinda weird paint week for myself. But hopefully I can catch up. First of all the list!!!

Goatboy
Storm Raven 1 - Red one - Done - did it last night
Storm Raven 2 - White One - Primed and looking at me
Herald of Tzeentch - Build and Paint

Patrick W
4 Dark Elf half nekkid chicks - Done

Nick R
Test Menoth - Done!!
5 Dudemens - Need to base and prime

Luis P
11 Necromunda - Primed

Adriano
Reaver Titan - Based and not primed but ready to go - head painted.

Steve M
Build Ork Bomba thingie - all the pieces are there just need to build it

Jay R
Soul Grinder - Build and Paint
2 Heralds of Tzeentch - Just build

I think I can do most of this as today the White Storm Raven should get done and maybe some Necromunda guys. Unless things go tits up at work. Will see. I will be playing my Goat Angels at least once and then most likely try to get a game in with my Grammar Wolves too. I need to play with them and get used to the army again. I think the whole internet backlash has gotten my brain kinda meh on the army and I just need to work it out and find an angle I like with it.

Current build out thoughts - I think more aggressive is where I need to go.

HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike, Meltabombs
HQ: Wolf Lord, Powerfist, Storm Shield, Wolf Tail Talisman, Bike
HQ: Wolf Lord, Wolf Claws X 2, Belt of Russ, Meltabombs, Bike
Elites: Wolf Guard X 5
WG 1 - Combi-Melta, Powerfist - 2
WG 2 - Combi-Plasma, Powerfist - 1
WG 3 - Powerfist, Storm Shield - 1
WG 4 - Terminator Armor, CML - 1
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, MoW, Wolf Standard, Meltagun, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, MoW, Wolf Standard, Meltagun, Rhino
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, MoW, Wolf Standard, Plasma Gun, Plasma Pistol, Rhino
Fast: Swifclaws x 5, Power Weapon, Attack Bike, MM
Heavy: Long Fangs X 6, ML X 5
Heavy: Long Fangs x 6, HB X 3, ML X 2

1850 on the nose - this is what I will be testing and see if I like it. I think it might work out better and give me more umph. There is no more tricks with Stealth but that just means I have to go and hit them. So will test this out. I think more Grey Hunters just works versus massed Razorbacks. Plus I can just drive up and get there and punch em. That is what I like in any of my armies.

The new Grey Knights are looking mean. Will see if they actually show up as a good army. I just think Lash is so good versus them as any bad movement will slow them down. It is the same with JaWs - 2++ eat it!

Models painted - Enjoy!

Feeling a bit Better

But still not 100% awesome. But that is life in the allergy capital of Texas. Woohoo love that Cedar. So this post is just a quick update of what I'm thinking of doing this week. I would be doing more but currently waiting on projects to get built, have the paint fall off, or just get my brain in the right mindset. So will see if more gets added on my - what the hell I finished this week post on Friday at my painting site. Woohoo!

Word Bearers - one more unit to get finished. Currently on the block
Rhino/Razorback - its a rhino in the list - but I made both cuz that is how I am - Picture below as it was done Today!
7 Man Grey Hunters - Built and Primed
1 Wolf Guard/Combi-Plasma Guy - Built and Primed

And that finishes that army - I plan on playing it this year and then hopefully selling it.

Luis P - Necromunda stuff
11 Redemptionists or something - Built and Primed

Big Red
1 Warmachine Chick thingie - Built and Primed

Adriano
Reaver Titan Legs - get them finished and other pieces. The screw is holding the legs in place so it is onto me to finish the basing and painting. Should be awesome!

John H
2 Rhinos and Predator - Sitting in the Simple Green to take off really bad paint job - almost ready to go

And that is about it. I don't know what else beyond some art stuff I plan on doing. I should be getting my Storm Ravens the next week so look for goat like ones of those. I will probably get a Dreadnought also to complete my desire to have a robot army of doom. ROBOTS!!! RARGH!!!

Will post some lists for some counts as armies I got brewing in my head. I have been doing some hazard lines on my Word Bearers so it is making me want to do a Iron Warriors build that has lots and lots of robots. Either it means a Marine build out or Blood Angels build out. The idea of fully robot guys who are the "death" company sounds pretty dang cool. Crazy kill robots :). Mix that with some Assault Cannon dreads and we might get a cool - super firepower idea. No Blood Chalice stuff as it just doesn't fit - so it might be a regular marine army. In fact I bet that will just be a cooler look too as it isn't one of the new "IT" books. Thoughts on that? Will write up some lists as I just think the army with massed dreads will look neat. Still might have to be BA - but will see.

Oh in an upcoming BOLS video I finally win a game. Woohoo - Daemons VS. IG. I took an unoptimized Daemon lists (Look at Brent's Strictly Average for what I feel is the best) and still beat up on an meh IG list from the Crazy Red Prat- prat - funny hat wearing dudes.

Goatboy's 40k - Week Update

Been sick most of this week. Feeling like ass from Allergies, Cold, and probably Mr. Black's voodoo doll. Either way it makes me feel crappy. But someone it is good for productivity because if I can do something that keeps my mind off feeling like ass - I will do it.

So out of the initial list - this is what I have done plus add ons. WOOHOO!!!

Word Bearers - Razorback 3 - TWL Lascannon - DONE!
Word Bearers - 5 Regular smucks for the Scoring, sit back razorback - DONE!
Word Bearers - Attack Horse/Bike - DONE!
Word Bearers - Terminator Guy with Cyclone/Havok Launcher - DONE!
Word Bearers - Wolf Priest Walking Dude Man! - DONE!
Word Bearers - Long Fangs - BUILT SUCKAS!
Necromunda - 8 Goliath Guys - DONE!
Dark Eldar - Venom - Like Crusader Class guys - DONE!
Chaos Predator - Done in a Russian Tank style - DONE!
Chaos Rhino - DONE!
Khador Devastator Jack 1 - DONE!
Khador Devastator Jack 2 - BUILT DAWGS!!!

There might be a few more things added to the list like more Necromunda stuff as I got another batch in. I think the Spanish guy is trying to kill me with Necromunda minis! Either way I will paint the whole damned line damnit!

This Thursday I plan on playing a game versus the Crazy Red Praetorium. I plan on bringing Daemons but might switch to a weird Logan list I will be building on for a previous client. Remember those World Eaters - he wants more and will be doing a Angron/Logan with dual chain axes and other nonsense. Will see if it works out right. It should look neat no matter what :). I think next week I am going to break out my Cryx and play some Warmachine too. I need to finish one model to get them all ready and will have that army on the table top. I will also be painting some more Khador stuff too as usual.

Some of those models I painted below!






What stuff are you guys working on?

Woohoo!!! Gonna post more this week

The plan this week is to paint the following as well as start testing my Word Bearers army. First painting.

Word Bearers - Razorback 3 - TWL Lascannon - as well as rhino options - primed
Word Bearers - 5 Regular smucks for the Scoring, sit back razorback - primed
Word Bearers - Attack Horse/Bike - already done woot!
Necromunda - 8 Goliath Guys - Primed
Dark Eldar - Venom - Like Crusader Class guys - Primed
Chaos Predator - Done in a Russian Tank style - Primed but needs build fixing to finish/magnets

So that is it as I got some other work to do art wise too. Fun times for the Goatboy as new contract work has popped up which means I get to do some art stuff. I am constantly doing different things in order to keep myself busy. I have a regular job doing Fiber Optic Technical Support. It is fun and keeps the bills paid as well as keeps me in Health insurance. Sometimes you need that as the life of a freelancer doesn't really support a Marriage and a mortgage :). And I like free Cable too damnit!

I just put together the local store's Storm Raven. No pics as obviously everyone is getting one. I am grabbing one from the store there as well as one from my good friend Rob Baer at SpikeyBits.com. I try to buy all over especially from people I know. It is why I still get comics because I want to continue to purchase stuff as that is one of the ways to keep our hobby going. The kit went together pretty well and I like the model. I have always like the brick of doom look and think it fits as a Space Marine vehicle. And yes, I do think it will be for every marine chapter out there. It makes no sense as all the story books talk about flying things as well as it is an expensive model and we all know how many marine players there are. Chaching! I think I can fit it into my wolves for sure. Hell it would be awesome to see Bjorn flying around in his super pimp wagon of doom!

Current Word Bearers Initial List - With Tricks that I will start testing with this week. - #7

HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike
HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike, Meltabombs
HQ: Wolf Priest, Combi-Plasma, Saga of the Hunter
HQ: Wolf Guard Battle Leader, Bike, Storm Shield, Powerfist
Elites: WG X 5
WG 1 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist, Bike - 1 - Swift Claws
WG 2 - Power Armor, Combi-Melta, Powerfist - 2 - Razor Lascannon/TWL Plasma
WG 3 - Power Armor, Combi-Plasma, Powerfist - 1 - Rhino Grey Hunters
WG 4 - Terminator Armor, CML - 1 - Long Fangs
Elites: Wolf Scouts X 5, Meltagun
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Meltagun, Razorback, Lascannon/TWL Plasmagun
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Meltagun, Razorback, Lascannon/TWL Plasmagun
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Flamer, Razorback, TWL Lascannon
Troops: Grey Hunters X 7, Plasmagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino
FA: Swiftclaws x 5, Power Weapon, Attack Bike, Multi-Melta
Heavy: Long Fangs x 6, Missile Launchers X 5

So basically a large amount of bodies with some stupid tricks in there. I got the 2+ cover save nonsense I can pull for IG - as well as some annoying Fearless troops that can sit on an objective. I got fists everywhere as needed as well as some Long Range Firepower that I wanted. I wanted to have a sit at home troop and the cheap Razorback fit the bill. It also gives a wall for my Long Fangs to hopefully hide behind as needed.

The bike squad is pretty mean with lots of guys and 7 Reroll to Hit Fist attacks and 12 Reroll to Hit PW attacks. Plus a ton of regular attacks. It isn't Thunder Wolves but it should hurt people. Plus being fearless is pretty neat. So suck it PBS!!!

The other neat thing is I am going to be the special guest on the Geek Nation Tour of Britain. So if you live over in the British Isle's and want to meet, yell, or throw me the finger I should be coming over in September. Look for some articles talking about how excited I am in the coming months as I get prepared for a pretty awesome experience. I plan on bringing the Word Bearers with me so look for some 1500 lists. Goatboy is coming at you Europe - be afraid muahahahah!!

Minis!!! BEHOLD!!!

Woohoo another week of fun

My birthday was last week Thursday. 33 years old. I had a dinner thing on Friday at a Japanese steakhouse. I drank some Saki, ate some food, and then went to another bar later. Had an evil thing called a Red Headed Mexican. It was a Margarita, with some Sangria, and a Sol mini beer in it. Suffice to say I was tipsy and glad my wonderful wife was my driver home. All in all a fun time which means very little "paint" time I would normally have to throw into it. Plus it has been raining all weekend so I didn't have time to spray anything.

I did get to play 5 games this weekend with my Daemons. I bought some new dice that obviously didn't like the Daemon army at all. I played JWolf with Khan Marines. Bad loss there where Jon didn't have to do anything as I was all about killing my army with my dice. I then played Chris and his Dark Eldar I painted. The white army of doom. I lost 8 to 7 kill points. So an odd one as I hit with Bolt of Tzeentch and watched as I rolled a 1 all the time. Then I played some Tyranids from Mike A and won this game. I played 2 more today against the same army and won the first game and was too aggressive the second game and lost. Still good to get games in with the same army as it lets me feel better about playing it. I still hate the Seekers of Slaanesh more and more and dropped them from the last two games. Current list 1.

HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos, Chariot
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, Bolt of Tzeentch, Breath of Chaos, Chariot
HQ: Herald of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Unholy Might, Fury of the Blood God, Juggernaut
HQ: Herald of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Unholy Might, Fury of the Blood God, Juggernaut
Elites: Juggernauts of Khorne x 3, Fury of the Blood God, Icon
Elites: Fiends of Slaanesh X 6, Unholy Might
Elites: Fiends of Slaanesh X 6, Unholy Might
Troops: Plaguebearers X 5
Troops: Plaguebearers X 5
Troops: Plaguebearers X 5
Heavy: Soul Grinder, Tongue, Phlem
Heavy: Soul Grinder, Tongue, Phlem
Heavy: Soul Grinder, Tongue, Phlem

Not sure if Daemon Princes are better at the Heavy. It is something to think about for sure. I think it might be but I really get sad when I have to make 6+ poison saves on my Daemon Princes.

The new Death Wing army seems neat especially with all the crazy 3+ inv saves it can throw down. I do think Horde Marines might be another "metagame" army that will be interesting for Adepticon. Especially how Calgar is now and how much he can just mess up a game. You have to kill the entire army to work and this is something to think about. I have some list ideas so will see. I will post them later.

Current Paint list for the week
