Week off

So after a week off I have had a couple of games
First one was against a space wolf list this was two units of grey hunters and one landspeeder as well as Arjak or someone that looked like him this was against my landspeeder a unit of scouts assault squad and a captain with jump pack and power sword. I was not the best general and lost
Then had a game against the filth list of Typhus plague marines plague havocs daemon prince nurglings and epidemius pure filth lost
Last one was against Eldar with one of the new guys down the club this was a good fun game and was a draw.
Since then have been painting more Lamenters and some generic scifi troopers which will be posted up
 Death Company for the Lamenters trial model pleased with this one
 Misaki and Sue for commissions (hopefully they resculpt Misaki)
Aslynne model from Warmachine with some sculpting to make her a templar.

Hope you enjoy

Game Played

Had my third game of 6th this week and it was really good. Stand out thing for me:
Glancing to death a Rhino, this was awesome, of course I lost
So what have a learnt from this, the game is more intuitive and feel no pain is no longer an auto include.
So what does this mean
I will try out Sternguard and take Dante to have scoring 2+ save

I have painted one unit of devastators with heavy bolters but have just bought a model to convert to Dante and got a weeks holiday so pics should be coming

Eldar Alliance

So here is 2 of my Eldar banshees with and 2 different Autarch will hopefully show more pics of them soon. One with Fusion Blaster who started as a Fire Dragon

Below is another Captain for the Lamenters based of the High Marshal so he will be Captain of the First. Guess who is the Xenos hugger.

6th Update

So yesterday I had my second game of 6th Edition 40k. Was a brilliant game and also two new people came to the club so we all learnt together. This seems to be the jist of the next few weeks so. I am hoping to add some Eldar allies to my Lamenters and am painting Howling Banshees at the moment pics to come soon.

Duel to the Death

So one of my favorite categories for the Golden Daemon has always been the Duel as this gives the modeler the chance to make more of the world than a unit or single figure.
Here is mine
The story is that the elf has gone down into the Mines of Moria to cull the goblins that are becoming a problem, his friends are dead and while trying to find his way out he is set upon by a warg riding chieftain

Malifaux and other things

The club that I game at has started to get into the Wyrd game Malifaux.
I got into the Arcanists back when the game was beta tested and Rasputina has always been my favorite.
I painted these models ages ago so have recently re-painted Rasputina and also added some more models. I am hoping to get Sue in the next few days.

The first picture is my crew of the winter dance. The second is a commission for one of my friends.
He wanted the crew to be painted like the artwork on the picture behind them.

Dark Elves and the Undead

For a few years I have realised that I am really more into skirmish wargaming.
However most of the skirmish wargames are a bit prescriptive with their setting or i am not keen on the combat system.
So I will be trying to come up with a rules system I like, and using these models as my warband.

So, the question is what do like?
I like intergrated turns these can either like lord of the rings or infinity.
I like rolling few dice may be one two or three.
I like coming up with my own or collaborative backstory therefore campaigns and an easily factored in campaign system is neccessary
