Done For The Year, And 2011

Got some things done to finish up the year, I got a Boar Chariot done for my Orc & Goblins Army done (now moving on to some Night Goblins). Also finished up my Trollblood Scouts and the Fennblades Officer & Drummer (the Tartans are not done so I can decide what to do for them yet).

2010 was a good hobby year I completed my FoW US Paratrooper army, And got the majority of my Trollblood force is done (I can know play with a completely painted force).

There are many things I hope to get done in 2011 like my Orc & Goblin Army, my modern zombie project, I also think I will also start up a Super Dungeon Explore (just ordered the demo set from Sodapop Miniatures because these remind me of the old 16bit video games I played when I was younger) project complete with 3D dungeon.

Work in Progress time again

I have got so many things that are work in progress that it is ridiculous.
First off I must thank The Tabletop Hooligans Podcast for the Incursion Gretel Von X miniature, that they gave me through there Twitter.
Now on to my comments on my minis. There are times that I think there are to many scales on the trolls, when one is trying to highlight all of them. The Gretel model will get some see through leggings. I am painting the Lilith Hesperax just for fun, just cause I think it is a great model, going to try to make her clothes look like vinyl by gloss varnishing them when I am done.

Getting Stuff Done

Have been getting some more stuff painted (I have also been getting rid of a lot of my mountain of lead by selling some of), I got my Rugluds Armored Orcs done (have had the for years). An am also including the pic of my Troll Whelps cause i have not gotten them up yet.

Hobby Central BCB

So I decided to play with Gunnbjorn on the day of the event, it went rather well for me, came home with the 3rd place coin. Had 2 wins and 1 loss. Both of my wins were by caster kill (Vindictus and Zerkova) and my loss came from my lock getting killed by the Death Jack (pSkarre). The Bat Rep I am writing up is for my second game, that I played against Khador (Zherkova).
DeploymentHe had some Berserkers with Attachment on the right all by them selves, that I faced with my Trollkin Scouts. In the center had a Greylord Ternion (the one from the league seasons, we were using them for the tournament) some Widowmakers and Marksman, 2 Juggernauts, Zherkova, and the another Greylord Ternion on the left since he went first everthing he had ran forward as far as it could. Zherkova cast watcher, then it was my turn.
In my turn I ran most of my things to keep just outside of his charge ranges, my burrowers tunneled to keep safe and Gunnbjorn cast rock wall in front of Mulg to help protect him from any charges and ranged attacks
In his turn he moved up some more, shot at some of my beasts, froze Mulg with some Greylords, his Berzerkers charged into the Scouts killing one (missing the rest). Then in my turn I shock off the stationary on Mulg, then Mulg charged the Jugger scraping it in one round. The Mauler moved into the other Ternion to hold them up. This is when my Impaler moved to throw a spear at Zherkhova, he boosted to hit, and did a good chunk damage to her. Then Gunnbjorn moved to get line of sight on her and shot her with his Bazooka to take her down for the count.
It was a great game, against a great opponent. It was also one of my fastest games ever, which I need to learn from to keep a good pace in the future.
This coin makes me feel good, since coming in last place in the last tourney.

Scoutalicious

So I picked up a box of Trollkin Scouts on friday, and I must say that they are some awesome models. There was almost no mold lines on the models and what was there was a breeze to clean up. My only real complaint is that for a fixed unit of 6, is that there is only 5 individual sculpts. I finished up the troll whelps today and will take pics of them on the weekend.

The Walking Mountain

Here is my finished Mulg, And the WiP Gremlins for Malifaux. I will be taking Captain Gunnbjorn back to the painting table when the local Steamroller is over to do some more work on him like detailing the gun, his vest will become blue with yellow trim. I am going to paint up Doomshaper and some Whelps, to hopefully get done for the tourney. (haven't decided on a warlock yet, it is a 25-35-50 escalating event)

Captain Gunnbjorn

Alright, it has been a while. So i have got bunch done in between my sister moving back home with her kids (1&4), Captain Gunnbjorn, Mulg and the Malifaux Born on the Bayou Box. I got in a game with Gunnbjorn against Magnus the Warlord. I won the game with a Crit Slam from my Impalers thrown spear, then I two hand threw his Mangler on the knock downed Magnus. This puts me up to being 4-7 in games of Warmachine. There is a steamroller coming up on Oct 16 at my local store, that I plan on playing in. (I will try to make my first pictured battle report, of the day) So here are some pics of Gunnbjorn, other pics to hopefully follow this weekend.

It has been a while since my last update (Hard drive failure, Life, and various other thins), but I have not been idle. Played in a recent Hordes Genesis event at my local store, came in second to last, this means that I should practice more. I did manage to get a few things painted for the event. With 2 kids moving back into the house my painting time in now significantly reduced, I might try to paint up my Malifaux next since it has a low model count.

WiP Boar Boyz

Here is a pic of some of the new boars, that I am working on for a Orc & Goblins army that I am working on. I dont know about these I think that they need something (maybe put some of the flesh tone on there legs)? Comments Welcome.

Hello,
Long time no post.
Just to prove I am still alive, and am getting some things done here are some pics of some recently completed stuff. This includes some Blood Angels Characters, Ghazkull Thraka(this is a commission piece), a test piece for a Fantasy Orc & Goblins Army (the Shaman), I also got done a 1750pt Flames of War US Paratrooper army(only one platoon shown).

Hey, where have you been.

A rather disappointing result at the steamroller (last) put me off form doing any hobby stuff. But this last week saw me get back in the action with getting a lot done. Finished a Gazhkull Thraka for a commission job, and finished up my 1500pt US Paratrooper army for FoW. Started work on quit a bit of other things like some Ork Shoota boyz, 2 Deff Dreads, 4 Killa Kans, some Khaydor for Warmachine, and many other things. Pics to follow.

This was a pretty good week, I got over a cold that I've had for a while. Got some great work done in the miniatures field, and much more started for the upcoming Warmachine steamroller at my LGS. I hope to have a completely painted army done for it but I do not know if I will.

My two lists for the 35pt event are,
Grim Angus (6wb)
Troll Bouncer 5
Troll Impaler 5
Dire Troll Mauler 9
Fell Caller 3
Min Scatttergunners 5
Max Fennblades 8
Min Champions 6

Comments & Criticism welcome

I am starting this blog to share my love of painting miniatures (and the occasional game), the main reason is to motivate myself to get things done.

My armys for 40k are Orks, Blood Angels (ancient paint job that is getting stripped to be repainted with the new codex). For fantasy I am working on a Orc & Goblin army. I am also working on my trollbloods for Warmachine/Hordes. I also recently picked up some Malifaux Gremlins to paint (no plans to play the game. I also have a long term project in the form of Modern Zombies, that I am writing my own rules for.
