Thoughts: New Years Resolutions

Yea yea I know everyone is doing this but I am going to go ahead and pot up mine:

1. Finish army finishing project.
2. Build up some proper tactics with an army that I like and is effective (ie Space wolves and warriors of chaos).
3. Keep this blog updated with interesting content.
4. To do the random bits that pop up in the year like buying new stuff and to have them done with and not just left around.

So, not to big a list but then again the army finishing project is a big thing. I hope you had a gret christmas and a happy New Year. Thankks for reading,

Army Finishing Project: Much progres on WIPs.

Hi, over the last week or so I have been making progres on my Reedeemer, a terran hands rhino (repainted) and a WIP tac squad. On with the pics:

Here is the Reedeemer The gold was painted iyanden then twice shining gold then very very heavy wash devlan.

I ran our of boltgun so the maetals are mithril silver heavily washed with badab black.

Now for the marines, sorry for bad lighting in these pics.

On these I just did some little things like some highlighting, next is final details and arms/boltguns, should be good when there done!

Finaly the rhino, not many pics at the moment as it is just as you see there. This is just a bog standard job.

So, what do you think. Have you been enjoying the army finishing project, I know I have. Not going to be much warhammer coming my way this christmas but hey ho. Thanks for reading,

Jacob.

My Army: I need to finish stuff, lots of stuff.

So, I have recently decided that I need to slow down on spending stuff and finish what I have got. I have quite a bit of space marine stuff. Quite a bit of WoC stuff and then I have my wolves stuff. this means that from now I will be spending a lot less and working on the above instead. I will post up a list of everything I have soon and will devise a painting points scheme. I don't want to use Lone pilgrims because I have a different problem to him. Instead I want to do a 'if I paint this I can use points to buy my self the ability to paint say a character'. Anyway. Please tell me what you think and whether in you opinion it will work,

Thanks for reading,

Painting/Green stuff: Two Nurgle Sorcerers painted in 4 hours and with GS coversions.

Hi, I know I said I wouldn't convert the sorcs but in the end I did. This was my first try at using greenstuff so C&C are welcome. Enjoy the pics:

The two twins!
Scroll boy! He has GS spots 0n his belly and a drape on his staff. The skull on staff was removed and it was replaces by goo!

He has a creature on his back (Nurgle is eay to model. It is supposed to be WRONG!)

His staff.

His scroll are done like this:

chaos black.

Iyanden darksun base.

Bleached bone.

Devlan mud wash in recesses.

Guy 2 with less conversion. He has a scroll on his back the scrolls under his arm we covered with a great slime fist theat has fingers from a power fist (just 3 fingers). Finally the simbol was changed on his staff.

Side view.

Staff

Rear!

Thanks for reading and I hope you like my first try at GS I hope to use it more .

NOTE: Both of these guys were done to table top standards but as characters should are pretty decent up close IMHO.

GW: GW Manchester is great and I bought stuff!!!!!! I am also looking for tutorials on Greenstuff.

Hey, today I went to Manchester and we (ME+FAMILY) went into the GW there, I had an awsome game with my warriors at 1500 points against Ogres and he beat me but it was relatively close, I mean he had 3 bulls, a tyrant, 2 butchers and about 6 ironguts by the end of the game and I had a sorc, but it could have worked out in my favour, anyway he was a vet and this was like my first FULL Fantasy game because I have played some games in the past but like that was an intro game and a game against my mate that we wern't shure of some 0f the rules in.

Anyway onto the buying, I ordered the Tzeench lord on disk and I will be using him as either a sorcerer or a lord depending on my army list, I also bought: 12 more warriors, Nurgle sorcs (not converting these, I'll just say it was an experiment but the gods to make two simaller forms and se what happens), but wait for it, ok I am just going to miss a few lines to add tension:


STILL WAITING!








I BOUGHT GREEMSTUFF AND A SCULPTING TOOL! Because of this if anybody knows of any basic sculpting tips/tutorials then I would be very grateful. ME OUT!

Battles: First battle with new fantasy army and a chaos/Ogre capaign!

Hi guys, today it was toys/games day at school so me and my mate Stu decided to throwdown in a battle to set off a campaign. This is the scenario we played and an outline of the campaign:

Scenario: We had three gothic ruin corners (the ones that come with the imperial guard battle force) set up in a square in one corner of a 4' by 4' table then some scenery and 3 rock piles scattered around, each rock pile was worth 100 victory points . Stu had to have more core choices within 3'' of the ruins at the end of the game than I did to get an extra 200 victory points and I had to kill his bruiser to to get my +200 of course we also played the noral rules for killing a unit to get victory points. This was a 1000 pts game and we played open lists.

The army lists were:

Ogres:

Bruiser with wallcrusher big name, a great weapon that gives +3 strength, a cathayan lonsword the all the gnoblars and extra gubbins he can take (+ a dispel scroll).

Iron guts (3): champion, standard bearer and dragonhide banner.

6 bulls: full command and iron fists a banner.

50 gnoblars: groin biter.

4 lead belchers: thunderfist (champ).

Chaos:

A kickass exalted champ with axe of khorne, Blood curdling roar and a few other random bits including mark of nurgle.
A Tzeench sorcerer with spell familiar, book of secrets and second level.

12 warriors with full command and slaanesh.
12 warriors with full command and nurgle.
5 knights with full command nurgle and lances.

Overall I had 154 points pore than him so he got plus that many VP

The game ended in a tachnical draw because I killed his bruiser and gnoblars and all but 2 bulls + his iron guts and he killed a bunch of warriors and the knights, so I had about 120 more VP's tha him but that counts as a draw. I am still happy though because he now has to roll to see what happens to his bruiser campaign wise.

The rules of the campaign are pretty simple. We have a series of games we will make up with storyline inbetween. In some games if a character is killed he does not die in the whole campaign but has to roll to see what happens:

1. Wounded: the character comes back fine next game.
2. maimed: the character lose 1 attack next game (to a minimum of 1).
3.gutted: the character loses 1 point of toughness next game.
4. maimed and wounded: the character is maimed and wounded.
5. almost dead: the character has only half his wounds for the remainder of the campaign or only 1 wound for the next 3 games (players choice).
6. Dead: the character is replaced with a champion (of any squad this champ counts as an independant character) for the next 2 games but takes up the slot the previous character slot and costs the same amount of points as the previous character. After those 2 turns a new leader has been chosen and the charcter can return to the campaign.

More will be added to the campaign at a later date.

Painting: Pic marathon.

Hi guys, I finally have a camera now so I have been on a pic marathon. Here we go:

Remember that post a while a go about random stuff, well here it is, Legolas Merry and a warboss (AoBR but the back of his claw is missing). Just a bit of fun painting.

Now for the real work, this is my WIP Slaaneshi squad.
The command

A close up on the banner.

And a random dude.

Nurgle time.This is a squad from a while back, I am pretty pleased with them but I forgot to take pics of their capes which are some of the best bits.

Now this guy is a 'Chaosling' They are men borne to close to chaos and never grew very tall as the raw essence of chaos flows through them, they are generally magicians and nomatter what god they worship, a tripe wants them. This one is a conversion and is devoted to tzeench. I mad up the stuff about chaoslings. The thing be his side is a count as fammiliar.

Another pic.

And another.

A cappy that still needs some work but is getting there

Taccy squad!

WIP maurauders!, flail heaven. The silver members are the young members of the trip that are not as devoted as the others so don't show as much heritige as the others.

And so ladies and gentalmen, that is all for today, more pics to come and my tutorial on mud basing will have pics too.

P.S. Since now I have based my army with my mud tecnique.

Converting: Scouts and updates.

Hi guys, this is a propper update:

These guys are the AoBR termies and they are being painted like silver skulls to go with my crusade theme, my land raider will be adjusted to be silver skulls aswell.

Now for some WIP assault marines, I didn't give them running legs as I can find better uses for those.

Now for the scouts, this is just a straight out of the box dude.



Sorry about the blur but this is the side shot of a sergeant, the squad comp is a bit weird as I have 1 bolter scout, 1 shotgun scout, two bolt pistol and chainsword scouts and a heavy bolter scout already so this squad has 1 BP and CS, 2 bolters, 1 BP and PwrW, 1 combi plasma and PP guy.






And another shot where you can see the bolter bit of the built in shoulder mounted combi-plasma.

The other sergeant with a power weapon.

Next guy:

This chap has a shoulder mounted bolter (tutorial at a later date) a big ammo box with a tractor beam grapple and a tractor beamer, he also has a bolt pistol.

Now for the next guy. He has a shoulder mount a pistol and a little mechanicle loader (bit of a bolter).




And now for my dread which I have finally finished.

Thanks for reading this far and comments and critisms are wealcom, hope you like the models.
