Okay, it’s almost Friday and I’ve found some time to take a picture
of Warlock that I have been painting on for the past week. Just something that’s
been lying around for a while and deserved a little attention.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's about half done and I wasn’t trying to do anything fancy.
My palette is very limited until I can get some new paints. Most of them did
not survive the long and extended break. This may be blessing as
GW went and redid the whole line again from what I understand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyone have some feedback on what these new paints are like?
Are the pots different from the last set or did the stick with old ones? The
new ones seemed to aimed at people who hate mixing paint and most of line is
just repeated shades and tones of the primary set. Are the washes still
the same? I’d be a sad Larry if they were different. </div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any insight would be helpful;
I’ve never strayed outside of Apple Barrel and Games workshops paints and wonder
if this would be a good time to make a switch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

got some research ahead of me. </div>

Some are of my Dark Eldar caught in the heat of battle against friend
and foe alike. It’s a shame that more of the Ice battle pictures didn’t turn
out better. I’m a sucker for that table. Others are few Mordheim skirmishes between
the Skaven and the Men of the Empire. </div>

Greetings to the select few that will see this post, and
all it’s pure awesomeness! My name is Larry and it’s been almost a full year
since I’ve done anything for this blog. The poor neglected thing, I hope you
all have been well and painting since then. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sadly, the lack of posts are due to a lack of painting and even more so, the
complete lack of games. I’ve been this hobby a long time and there’s been some
dry spells, but the games have pretty much come to a grinding stop. I blame myself for letting things get this
bad. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality is my own painting snobbery is what’s killing
the gaming. I just can’t drag my @$$ to the local stores to battle the
unpainted hordes. Just in case you are new to the blog, I’m not the most competitive
player but my games are a hell a lot sexier than most. I love a drop-down,
knock out fight as much as the next war gamer, but it's visual aspect of the game that is deal breaker. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even with-out the games, the urge to build and paint something
has been slowly creeping back, but with taking such a long break, I’m at a loss
for where to pick back up. I think my
next post will be an overview of all my possible future projects/madness. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The one thing I do know is that you can see a brand new grammar-forsaken
post here each and every week or at least that’s the goal. If I can get some
games happening, then maybe we can get back to posting at little more frequently.
If not I’ll just make some grumpy old man posts. Those are always fun. </div>

Who would think that these tiny craft would be the cornerstone for my army reaching 2k. If there's one thing I've learned about Av. 10 skimmers is that one is never enough! The only survivability they have on the table is in pure numbers and lucky saves.<br />
<br />
That's why I got two... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UHZAOSnvuUg/TnixHwaRiOI/AAAAAAAABVE/dyBeztlrE7Q/s1600/CIMG1548.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UHZAOSnvuUg/TnixHwaRiOI/AAAAAAAABVE/dyBeztlrE7Q/s320/CIMG1548.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
One big decision will be what rides in these craft. It's something that's going to need worked out as I finalize the list. Beyond the three blaster set-up, I'm open to any suggestions to what would be the ideal unit? I'd like to try a unit of High Born with Splinter Cannons for just the right amount of overkill. It seems like it could be a great follow up unit to what the dark lances manage to crack open. Anyways, I'll post up some progress in the next few days, but it's going to a little bit of time to finish off these models. <br />

Let’s begin with something small and see where the inspiration takes us. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Mr. Z really wants to start heading down to the LGS to drum up some 40k games. Not that big of deal, but it seems they play bigger games in that neck of the woods. The Dark Eldar sit close the 2k mark, yet the list leaves much to be desired. It’s not really even a list, more like everything that I have painted and some extra gear. Just a few more units would fill out the ranks nicely and make the army stronger. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The other side project is some new terrain pieces for the Mordheim table. The summer campaign that I had wished for never happened, (I blame myself) but that’s not going to stop me from giving some more love to one of my favorite games.<br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">So I'm going to make some new lists, build some models, paint them, and continue to lose miserably... while blogging about it all for your enjoyment! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Soon…<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Well hey we did get some games in though didn't we?

<br />
It's been quite some time now since I've posted something and the guilt was starting to get to me. Unfortunately, the Paint Brushes are on a extended vacation and I really don't have any new hobby stuff to share. All I've got is some random battle pictures of the past few games. <br />

What's up gang?<br />
<br />
The end of May is usually a busy time for me and it always cuts into my hobby time. Things are starting to settle down around here and it's time to work. There are still a few terrain projects I want/need to wrap up before the crazy bionic bird-men make the scene next week.<br />
<br />
Project #1 more Craters for the table. The Blastscape looked all lonely and a battlefield can never have too much devastation. The #2 Project is the infamous Space Marine Statue and it's other components. What 40k table is complete with-out this grim reminder of the Imperial might? I'm hoping to work on the stuff over the next few days and will post something up over the holiday.Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12085993461441939736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616544202864593457.post-74045199398476750142011-05-19T23:52:00.005-04:002011-08-05T18:53:00.364-04:00Zealot's trade/sale post yaySoooo.. things are kinda tight around here so I decided I'm gonna sell/trade some stuff to make things easier on myself and free up some more precious space in my small apartment. :D I can consider trades if you have skullz promo mechanicus models or anything mechanicus from the rogue trader era.

The hobby time was plentiful this week and it made painting up the set rather easy task. I went with the neutral Grey scheme so the pieces would blend on both tables. After a Heavy Ink Wash and allot of Dry-Brushing, all there was left to do was add a bit of color. Nothing fancy, but I wanted it to contrast with the Grey. Overall, they turned out decent and add some flare to the Ice world. I could even use a few of them for for Warhammer Games. <br />

I highly recommend heading over that way and see what’s new on Tristan’s side of the Inter-webs. I also may be a little bias for the simple fact he always commenting on my own blog with helpful suggestions that I really appreciate.<br />

</div>Well, it's been a quiet week here around the hobby table. I haven't the time to sit down to do anything major due to numerous outside distractions. Yesterday was the only real chance I had to "hobby" and did not let it go to waste.<br />
<br />
I stopped the by the LGS, earlier in the week to find this buried and forgotten gem. I thought it was just the regular Crater Set, but I was wrong. It turned out to be the limited edition BlastScape from the PlanetStrike Expansion. No matter, the rest of my Sunday was spent basing and priming. Hopefully, I will find some time to work on them over this week and I'll post up the progress. <br />
<br />
Also don't forget to join up for the <a href="http://paintyourtoys.blogspot.com/2011/04/pyts-space-marine-give-away.html">Give-Away</a> before this Saturday!!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Instead of me fooling around with more test models, I decided to sit down and paint up one of the Magnet Marines. As wisely suggested, I took pictures at different angles this time around, so you can see the whole mini. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RFSc2lYl93s/TbXHOgoNHwI/AAAAAAAABSc/Ab70ANUW2ts/s1600/CIMG1255.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RFSc2lYl93s/TbXHOgoNHwI/AAAAAAAABSc/Ab70ANUW2ts/s320/CIMG1255.JPG" width="284" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I must admit this single model was quite a pain in my @$$. The Magnets would spin around, so my answer was to glued them in place with the tiniest dab of glue on the joints. Later I would drop it and the most of the Magnets popped out super glued the arms and not the torso.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6PluDhrng24/TbXHNCTGwLI/AAAAAAAABSY/Sjf1wMZd_Yc/s1600/CIMG1246.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6PluDhrng24/TbXHNCTGwLI/AAAAAAAABSY/Sjf1wMZd_Yc/s320/CIMG1246.JPG" width="284" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Despite the set-backs, I finished out the model. For the most part, I’m pretty pleased with how it looks. It would take a long time to build up an entire army this way, but I think the effort would equal the reward. Now I just have to paint up his other set of war-gear and we can call this model finished. </div>Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12085993461441939736noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616544202864593457.post-82752440500458582162011-04-24T05:20:00.008-04:002011-04-26T03:32:43.932-04:00Modified 1500 pt GK List & thoughts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_-93_4BwWgQ/TbPz3CgEXvI/AAAAAAAAAqU/s5VyPZlu1xc/s1600/Grey_Knight2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 221px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_-93_4BwWgQ/TbPz3CgEXvI/AAAAAAAAAqU/s5VyPZlu1xc/s400/Grey_Knight2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599086888641388274" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Thought I'd throw a post out here while I have some thoughts on units from this relatively new codex. I've gotten two games in with the Grey Knight book and so far I'm finding it enjoyable. Both were vs Larry's Mechanized Dark Eldar, the first being Kill Points - which I took, and the second being capture and control which resulted in a draw. I'm thinking him and I will be experiencing the growing pains of using a new list together, as we both could easily find a few mistakes we made in those games. That being said, 40k shows its prowess as a great game by being something that you can always get better at.<br /><br />Here's my updated list with my thoughts in italics:<br /><blockquote>100 Coteaz - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">this guy allows me to take =I= henchmen as troops and isn't too shabby for his points cost. Sanctuary played a role by preventing some wyches from charging and I can definately see it coming into play more in the future.</span><br /><br />100 Banisher w/Eviscerator, 7 Psykers - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">bumped these guys up to 7 for the higher Strength. Only drawback to this squad is when they fry themselves.</span><br />60 Chimera w/Hull Heavy Flamer & Dozer Blade<br /><br />42 2 Plasma, Flamer - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">I'm not saying this is the best unit ever but I feel like taking a unit like this could be pretty good in the long run. During the first game I played with them, the KP mission, they simply acted as a mobile firebase in their chimera. Their low numbers didn't come into play because that particular transport didn't get destroyed. The second game I had my purifiers take their chimera and put them with the rest of my firebase on my objective. Their plasma did work, and eventually the flamer guy killed like 5 DE Warriors. So far so good.</span><br />60 Chimera w/Hull Heavy Flamer & Dozer Blade<br /><br />147 3 Banishers w/Eviscerator, Crusader, Flamer, 7 Acolytes - <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">A relatively simple CC troops choice with the ability to carve up armor as well as negate a few saves when it's clutch. The unit is cheap and can fit in a Chimera if I need them to. The flamer is a cheap way to keep them a bit more killy and flexible. Most of the time these guys will slog it up the middle of the battlefield with the transports for cover.</span><br /></span><br />145 Grey Knight Strike Squad w/2 Psycannons, MC Daemonhammer, 2 Nemesis Force Halberds - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">I was playing these guys as purifiers in the last game but I could tell that they will end up playing more of an anchor to most of my games, shooting and doing cc as a counter-assault unit if need be, so I swapped them over to Strike Squad status to render them scoring. Deep Strike and the ability to hop in a Chimera make the unit versatile.</span><br /><br />134 Banisher w/Eviscerator, 2 Jokaero Weaponsmith, Flamer, 5 Acolyte -<span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Jokaero's are cool and they don't seem half bad so far! This is my anchor unit. If I stick Coteaz with them they can be pretty nasty on the 'I've been waiting for you' rule. Very stoked to see a unit with Multi-melta abilty like this and being able to kit the unit out with an Eviscerator and flamer and still keep on the cheap is pretty cool imo. The fact that this unit can just up and move with the rest of my force and still be effective makes this unit one that I'll be watching to see how much I can eek out of them.</span><br /><br />150 Dreadnought w/Psybolt Ammunition, Assault Cannon & Missile Launcher - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Not the most ideal loadout but hey, it's built and painted so I'm gonna give it a few go arounds. Hasn't been amazing yet but hasn't been bad. S7 Assault Cannons with Rending are cool.</span><br /><br />145 Vindicare Assassin - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">HOly Shit GW!</span><br /><br />145 Callidus Assassin - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">She still seems to be pretty damn good. First game I had her hop out of a unit that was in CC (doing d6 S4 hits during my f-ing movement phase lol) and use her flamer template on another unit. Dipped through a building the next turn due to move through cover and fleet and commenced carvin up some Warriors. Just don't roll horrible on your reserves k thx<br /></span><br /><br />270 Dreadknight w/Psycannon, Nemesis Greatsword & Personal Teleporter - <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">HOO HOO! Shunt is pretty fricking cool and if you compare this beast to a Demon Prince (which are good imo) it looks even tastier. The Greatsword might not have a million attacks on the charge but the re-rolls (and cool giant sword) are worth it. Get yourself a cover save though kiddos, that 5+ don't last long unless you roll like me.</span><br /><br />1498</blockquote><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">EDIT: </span><span>after a few days, here's my further chopped-down list. Found the points for EA on the Chimeras which is pretty necessary imo</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span> <div><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma;

line-height: 115%;">I'm not sure where I was going with this scheme. I wanted something metallic, but not silver. I wanted a color that would stand out on the table and at the same time would lend well to my wash-style of painting. After a few tests, we have the model that you see here. </span><span style="font-size: small;">What I was trying to go for was... something regal or majestic, but it looks like it’s been in service for a very long time.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I started out with a brown base coat, then follow by Shining gold, then a liberal wash of Leviathan Purple. Next, the highlights, going back to the Shining gold, and then layered with Burnished gold… A little bit of Mithril Silver along all the edges, and finally a coat of Gryphonne Sepia to blend it all together. A few lite coats of Devlan Mud to start the shading, in the final stages, I layered with purple and black wash to help further define and add tint. </div><div align="right" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The little bit of color on the left shoulder pad is something to add more flair. I may just go back and make it all one solid color or keep it gold. The one thing is... the other marines are hybrids between the stranded kits and the new Death Company set. So, the next one will have more contrast with help of the shoulder pads and other details in the armor. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

I threw together a halfway shoddy 1250 list from the stuff I have and a box of purifiers that I picked up. Going forward theres a bunch of stuff I can/will change but for now I"ll just leave you with pics and a list. I will say that I don't think crusader's are good and that I just wanted to finally paint this model and play with it after it's lay around for years. It's a great example of a fantastic model that never quite had anything good to do. He'll probably be sub par and get shelved lulz<br /><br /><div style="font-family:arial;"><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;

This is the best I can do with what I have model-wise. I took out all the fun and frills. No more randomness of waiting for reserves. What's left goes all on the table at once, all on the same flank and attacks in unison. For the Eldar, it's not very elegant, seems kinda Orky, but it's worth a try. Stay focused and don't get fancy. Always remember to play the mission and be mindful of the objectives. I type this crap, but I never seem to do any of it during a game...<br />
<br />
The Baroness-- 105Pts. IE: Baron Systhonyx.<br />
8-Hellions-- 128Pts.<br />
<br />
10 Warriors<br />

Phantom Grenade launcher<br />
Hay Wire Grenades<br />
Raider<br />
Night Shields<br />
Flicker Field-- 230 Pts.<br />
<br />
Ravager<br />
Night shields<br />
Flicker Fields--125 Pts.<br />
2 Units for 250 pts.<br />
<br />
6 Jet Bikes<br />
2 w/ Heat lances--156Pts<br />
<br />
3-Trueborn w/ Blasters<br />
Raider<br />
Night Shield<br />
Flicker Field--161Pts<br />
<br />
5 Mandrakes--75Pts.<br />
<br />
Grand total of 1495<br />
<br />
The army basically works in three waves. Jet bikes and Mandrakes play disruption, the second wave of Hellions, Warriors and Wychs. Finally, the Ravagers play the support role. I'm aware that not everyone is a big fan of the Night Shield upgrade, but I am. The only silver lining to my last game was watching some of Z's guns come up short, thanks to the Shields. Just 10 Points to break my opponent out of his rhythm for those first few crucial turns is not be dismissed. They also give you a edge during a Night fight. Go fig...<br />

I really wish they had some helmets, but that will have to wait. The only minor detail left is to drill out the barrel holes on the pistols. I feel pretty accomplished after the project. I’m little wiser about magnets without any major blood loss or inflicting damage to an important model. If the little buggers didn’t eat up so much time, I’d skip out on glue forever. Warning: Magnets are addictive. I keep trying to think of a fun magnet project besides boring Space Marines, but so far I got nothing.<br />

However, before I can paint up one of these marines. There are a few loose ends with the Dark Eldar that need to be handled. After my last embarrassing defeat, I took a good look at my army and made a few adjustments. Then I spent most of yesterday building more Jet Bikes and a trio of Blaster wielding Trueborn. <br />

These guys turn out better then I hope for when I started. They are made of Guardian legs, Wych torsos, and the Blasters are a cut apart Shredders with Blast pistols replacing the end of the barrel. They remind me of pissed off Fire dragons. Anyways, all they need now is Venom to cruise around in and they will be set to blow stuff up!<br />

I could see it being one, but it would require a fair amount of time to construct an entire army in this manner. For the time being, I’m happy just hobby away at the models I have now and not look at this as another army. </div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Long story, short… I really liked the way the magnets worked out for my Raiders. So, that got the old gears turning and inspired me to grab a box of the new Blood Angels Death Company. After a good old dig in the Bitz box, I was ready to build some marines.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">It takes about 2 hours or so to build one guy, between scratch building the base, deciding the final pose and equipment layout. There are magnets embedded in the torso and in the back as well. The models base is also magnetized. The arms and backpacks have been lined with a a very thin sheet metal cut down to size. I figured it would save me on some magnets in the long run. I’m waiting to put heads on them till I can find something different then the standard/boring Mk. 7 helmets. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

They still move a little bit but it's not nearly as bad. Other than that set-back, I’ve enjoyed the project so far. The one pain I have encountered is getting the Bolters to line up properly, but I think that has to do with how far the magnets are drilled into the torso. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

If I can settle on a paint scheme in the near future I’ll get started on painting the one. It’s been ages since I focused on a single mini. I think it will make for a nice change of pace. </div>Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12085993461441939736noreply@blogger.com1
