Scarbrand, Cowgirls, Indians and Sci-fi Gribblies

More WIP on Scarbrand, he's had a blazing orange highlight and skulls have been started as well as his tattoos. Almost done.

Deadlands Cowgirls WIP (for Commission, as well as indians), need highlights and eyes done, and a little more on the base.

First lot of Deadlands Indians WIP, I'm really liking the skin, it's 1/3 Khorne red and 2/3 Snakebiteleather. Need some highlighting and eyes as well.

...and even more Deadlands Indians WIP. They look real gritty. The primer was chaos black GW primer and Army Painter Fur Brown ('tis a nice red brown).

And something from my bitz box which I eventually found all the pieces for, I have no idea what it is but it reminds me of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards movie.

Kickstarter Dice rings

Ok, so been backing more kickstarter. This time it's dice rings. They are so very cool.

 Gone in for $70 which gets 5 rings. The missus wants a few and I so need the r20.

MVP Great Unclean One

MVP GUO

Had a couple of games last night at our final club night. One versus Hamish's Skaven and a second against Luke's Ogres. We're getting in practice games with our team tournament lists so pulling now stops.

I took my 3 Bloodletter horde list and he turtled like a dwarf in the corner. Dirty Stinking rat turtling in the corner.

He ended up beating me 12-8 but would have beaten him had he not gotten irresistable force off on his Dreaded 13th twice. Bleh. Need ward save against that crap. Yay....


Second game against Luke, absolutely destroyed Luke's Ogre army.

Battle for the pass, nice and tight with little flanking.

I move up my letters and he puts his charge redirectors in and Mournfangs into a fiend.

I charge everything and wipe them out and reform with 2 units of Letters.

The other one overruns into Mournfangs and he charges my flank with Ogre and character...

So timewarp on letters disappears both units of Ogres and Mournfangs and the Ogres run away 3" and get mown down.

 He rightly decided to pour a whole bunch of shots on my GUO with Balesword. and then the GUO got into combat.  He ended up accounting for a 2 units of trappers, a giant and a unit of shooter ogres. A couple of timewarps on some Bloodletters and the Ogres ended up in red mists on the battlefield. I ended up losing a handful of models in each unit and lost both my Fiends.

GUO is beast, he hasn't died yet in any of my games and apart form poor movement with my GUO in the skaven game he performs well. He loves to eat ogres chopped finely but is crap against massed infantry. He almost always instakills any monsters/monstrous infantry etc. With the preponderance of Monstrous Cavalry/Infantry/Beasts he is essential. I'll just let my Bloodletters go up against everything else.


I'm still undecided as to whether I go with 2 or 3 Hordes on my daemon list for this tournament in February and get some anti-redirectors against those nasty throwaway units. I kind of think better rules would deter chaff redirectors, I may need to drop the third unit. But I will trial a soulgrinder and more fiends.

Zombie Dragon and Terrogheist WIP

So Fern has taken some update pics of her pets.They are coming along well.

Aren't they the cutest?

Zoey the Terrorgheist

Leo the Zombie Dragon

Sturm der Magi: Dämonen Vs Vampirfürsten

So finally got around to a storm of magic game last night. I ended up taking:

Lord of Change w/ Master of Sorcery Death, Level 3, Twin heads
Herald of Tzeentch w/ master of Sorcery Light, Spellbreaker
Herald of Khorne BSB firestorm blade and armour of Khorne
Herald of Khorne firestorm blade and armour of Khorne
29 Bloodletters w/ full command
29 Bloodletters w/ full command
22 Horrors w/ full command
3 Screamers
1 Fiend
1 Fiend
1 Giant
1 Chimera w/ poison
1 Cokatrice w/ poison and breath

Nick took;
Vampuire Lord
Necromancer
Vampire
3 units of 20 Zombies, 30 Skeletons, 25 Ghouls
30 Grave Guard and Wight Lord
2 Mortis Engines (look suspiciously like a giant spider and a terrogheist)
Level 4 Zoat
4 Dragon Ogres

Battles are looking a lot better at the club with new scenery.

It was a fairly brutal match which didn't see much close combat. Hilarious moments included 3 Screamers beign charged by unit of zombies who melted away in the boiling river and then being charged by another unit. Grave guard getting crystal mazed in the first turn as well as all wizards on both sides getting turned into frogs. Cockatrice ate necromancer on one of the Fulcrums. Zoat getting sniped by Lord of change and death spells on fulcrum in the middle. Dragon ogres getting wiped out by Bloodletters, ghouls getting wiped out by bloodletters. Dragon Ogres suck. I won. First Storm of Magic for both of us. Very fun and a little insane.

This is all in preperation though. 

I'm honing in on using big blocks of Bloodletters to the effect that when the teams tournament is in February I'm looking at...

Great Unclean one, level 2, balesword and noxious vapours
1 Herald of Tzeentch, MoS-Lgiht, Spellbreaker and Disc
3 Heralds of Khorne, 1 with AoK and BSB, 2 w/ AoK and FS leading
3 x 29 Units of Bloodletters
2 x 1 Fiends

Brutal what?

There will be enough frontage to not be out maneouvred and the 2 fiends to deal with flankers and chaff. GUO there to deal with anything big and absorb the occasional cannon.

How Brutal?

The Tzeentch Herald with light is there to buff the Bloodletters. I might take Furies instead of one of the fiends but otherwise 

Very brutal.


It's simlar to Mike King's list but with a better Greater Daemon and fiends instead Screamers. I have to practice more with it and get my spellcasting and movement more decisive.

And the fields ran RED

with the colour of Russians

So I got some Russians this week and my do they look fantastic on their sprues, got so much more detail than the battlefront miniatures. and only took 5 days to deliver from UK there are 130 infantry, 60 Infantry w/ heavy weapons and 5 T34's

I think I have like;

2 to 3 Strelkovy platoons with HQs and Komissars.
3 x3 T34/85s with command tank (10 all up).
4 Mortar teams
7 HMG teams
4 heavy mortar teams
4 anti tank rifle teams.
8 SMG teams
2 Katyushkas
I will be making sapper teams as well.


Now just have to assemble it all and paint it.

Which reminds me, the missus got all my old miniatures I'd gotten in trades over the years out and based them all ready to paint. She likes different stuff to paint, I'm finding girls are more inclined to this,. the Little Dryad is like this as well and is pining for her reaper kickstarter stuff next year. Missus was excited because she ordered this Nethyrmaul.

Now there is a whole bunch of RAFM, Grenadier, Warzone, Chronopia, Harlequin, etc. figures in there. It takes years to get this kind of painting chaff together.

I'm just keen on getting my Mantic stuff which is starting to look real good.I especially like the troll.

 The Paladin is looking great as well.

Scarbrand WIP

Too bad the rules suck, I might just run him as a Minotaur Lord or something.
