Hobby Update

Updates have been less frequent lately. I still have been playing 40k games at 1000 pts with my friend Larry (who blogs more than me and paints more than me lol) but I've taken a bit of a break from the hobby. Funds have been absent to build up the Mechanicus army lately and I took some time painting up my Skaven from the IoB set. I'm planning on delving back into Fantasy with the rats (b/c... well... fuck Wood Elves), but I'd rather get my IG force in good order first.

This, for me, means having 2000 pts I can count on. (ie no trash/dicey units) Should be getting a medusa in a trade here so that will get me headed where I need to be. Right now I have about 1250 that's stuff I'll want to use in the final list.

Here's the 1k I've been playing with for quite some time it seems. The only thing I don't care for in the list is the stormtroopers. They're too dicey for my tastes. The Russ Vanquisher w/Pask is amazing but is also a bit expensive for an army of this size.

210 Colonel Straken, Medic, 2x Bodyguard, Krak Grenades, Las Pistols

105 Veteran Squad w/Powerfist, 3x Grenade Launcher

65 Chimera w/Hull Heavy Flamer & Dozer Blade

105 Veteran Squad w/Powerfist, 3x Grenade Launcher

55 Chimera w/Hull Heavy Flamer

105 Stormtroopers w/2x Melta Gun

140 Valkyrie w/Multiple Rocket Pods & Sponson Heavy Bolters

215 Leman Russ Vanquisher w/Pask & Hull Lascannon

First game of Mordheim w/my new Skaven!

Here's some pics from our first game of Mordheim last week! It was epic, mostly due to the fact that Larry's a hobby genius and made an insane city table in less than a month. (That's him in one of the pics) I'll let the images tell the tale of the battle. My objective, which I completed, was to get two of my members of his table edge. Better pics of my Skaven soon!

A game in pictures: Ad Mech vs Tau (1000 pts)

New Fantasy blog..

Scroll Caddy - when 40k veterans start Fantasy. I'll be posting my Wood Elves and any other WHFB related stuff over there w/Larry from 'Paint Your Toys'.
