Later then Normal post

Been very busy - in fact I should probably be working on finishing some work right now.  I have a plethora of minis, art, and writing to do.  It never ends for he Goat.

LVO was fun - the tournament was meh.  I dropped after losing rd 4 to another daemon player.  The bane of my existence - not rolling for crap with maelstrom did me in.  Still was a fun game as the aussie player was a blast.  I had 3 good games before that - with one getting my revenge on Allan from an Adepticon where he knocked me out of the first round of the finals.

Right now 40k is in a bit of a rough spot - if you don't play the good stuff you have a good chance to get run over.  The Psychic phase is too clunky with some of these armies running 20+ wc, casting well and having ways to generate more.  Free stuff is too much and everything doesn't feel very fair.  Ah well - it is life.  Will see what 8th brings to the game.

Let's do a paint list and some dumb list ideas.

Paint
Me - look at writing Model review articles for the Saint and Greyfax
Figure out next Monday's article

Nick
More GSC neophytes are on dock to get done
Build more hybrids and stuff to paint

Greg
Building and Culexius assassin - need to build - should be a single day build and paint thing for this coming week

Ryan
More SW - got bikes and a unit of 5 guys primed to paint tonight.

Josh
9 more models from silver tower - acolytes are halfway done and then the big monster minotaur. Should be done with acolytes tonight and minotaur in a day or two.

Travis
More cryx - have to build them which makes me sad.

Luis
More Infinity - again have to build them which is hard.

That is it for now.  I knocked out the big art I had to do this weekend.  I have a new computer coming in which should help me with Photoshop pains.  Quad core monster due to having a decent work bonus/taxes/good year budgeting.  Fun stuff indeed.

Let's look at some dumb list ideas.  I like the idea of having an Immune psychic death star so thought of the following.

Sisters of Silence Formation
Sisters X 8, Swords X 8
Sisters X 8, Swords X 8

Champions of Fenris
WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Powerfist, Storm Shield
WGBL, Thunder Wolf, Powerfist, Storm Shield
Cypher
The Saint Celestine & Friends from Fall of Cadia
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 4
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 4
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 3
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 3
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 3
Elite Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber Wolves X 3

This is a bunch of dumb ideas rolled around into 2 big dumb units.  Will it work?  Who the heck knows.  All I know is it will move up, grind you out and hopefully murder things.  You get 2 Hit and Run options - one has shrouded to the unit and the other has a lot of "throw" away wounds as needed.  It should punch pretty rough with tones of AP 2 ini 5+ hits and other options.  Plus it turns off all those pesky powers the other stars like to throw around.  I think it would love to chew on some doggies for sure.  It still won't be good but it is goofy to write about.

Alright some models and calling it a day as I try to finish the acolytes.

Experimenting with new background and camera - still testing them out.

Logo tests.

Lots of art done too - even new LVO art.

Post before LVO

Been a fun week too - wife lost her grandma - work has been full of what ifs and where I might move to change a position.  Fun stuff like that.  But I keep chugging along with some artwork and minis.  I got LVO coming in a few days - I suspect I will go 4-2 with my KDK death star list I talk about on Monday at BOLS.  Besides that I am preparing an AOS army based off of Tzeentch.  It should be fun and the games I have played have been a heck of a lot more enjoyable then some of the nonsense 40k throws at me.  It leaves me with high hopes for 8th edition for sure.

Let's see - paint list - and then some minis

Me
Finish the rest of the Triumph thingie - the Saint is up next
Building a Tzaangor Shaman to paint
Maybe build something else - but most likely go back to focusing on client work
Artwork for some people as well

Nick
GS Cult - got a crap ton of minis built for me to paint up

Ryan
Finish off this Space Wolf lot - got a few more regular guys to finish up

Travis
Finish off this  Cryx order as well - got some bird things primed up to do this week before I leave

Luis
Infinity for days

Josh
Final bits of the Silver tower

I went with a KDK death star list as it means less summoning and a bit more board presence.  I know the table are going to be full of crappy brimstone conversions and other nonsense.  It does make me wish I figured out a good way to bring the Grotti along as he could just make units disappear with his stinky booty.  Oh well.

I know I will finish this Death Guard army as Mortarion is coming most likely and I just need to get some more Rhinos.  I found all my converted Autocannon havoks so I might just repaint them white to match and have me off to the races.  It will look neat and most likely play for fun.  I think that is most likely how I will play most 40k in the coming months.  Will see.

Alright enough of this - next time will be an LVO battle report - most likely with me ending my time watching AOS and trying to get on their live cast.

Final normal biked sorcerer - with force sword.

3rd Chariot of Tzeentch - bah summoning is so annoying.

He is coming for ya - arms are magnetized for ease of play.

This guy wasn't hard to build - a pain to build.  Removed the tiny back skull floating thing cuz that broke as I built it and I broke it again awhile painting it.  Paint it in at least 3 parts - body, arm and fat bootie.

Woot another post

A bit of a fast one.  Last week lost the brother so the painting I have been doing has been more personal to help me break through this sad time.  Hopefully the next post will have more customer stuff as I knock those things out the park.  With that - lets do the paint list and then my current LVO list.

Me
Burning Chariot 2 - it is built, magnetized and I need to do another one
Pick the 4 Daemon princes I want to take and clean them up -
Work on Death Guard - 3 bikes, 2 rhinos, another character
BOLS article on the Cadia book
Dream about the Tzeentch stuff in the new AOS book

Greg
Aratpos Knight thingie - build and paint - build this week at min maybe start paint too

Nick R
Finish a libbie conclave on bikes and command squad

Josh
More Silver Tower stuff - knocked out a bit - Tzaangors hopefully this week

Ryan
Space Wolf stuff
5 Long Fangs - built tonight
5 Basic Sky Wolves
Tweaks on other Sky Wolves and some characters - fun fun fun

Woot some lists real quick

Current LVO list

Rheti Conclave
Magnus
DP, MoT, Wings, Lvl 3, Gift of Mutation
DP, MoT, Wings, Lvl 3, Gift of Mutation
DP, MoT, Wings, Lvl 3, Gift of Mutation
DP, MoT, Wings, Lvl 3, 10 PT Staff - Force etc

Small, basic - has decent WC to summon and I can throw out chariots all game.  Will see what kind of spells I go for with the DPs - but I have access to have things that hurt the Tetrad.  Good times.

Next list is my current Death Guard Build - it is almost done too.

Death Guard Vectorium thingie
Warband
Chaos Lord, Bike, Sigil, MoN, VoTLW, Powerfist, Lit Claw
Sorcerer, Bike, MoN, VoTLW, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar

The question I ask - would a second lord be better over another MoN Sorcerer?  I can get up to -3 T with this set up which isn't too bad.  Bah - this is what I am currently building towards so will see.  It looks fun.

Ok onto some models before I finish building some Space Wolves.

Didn't want his booby armor - so big man chest it is.

Had this guy for awhile - he will be exalted sorc or new AOS guy - woot woot.

Counts as Terminators for Death Guard

Mr. Hugs a lot.
