Blogwars 6

Yeah I got a prize. Wooden spatula still counts I hope ;)
So it was a really fun day and I wont spoil Alex discussing issues.
So where did my army go wrong, well there was lots of Tau and you don't get to charge them so next year its going to be a more shooty list and I've nearly worked it out.
I would like to thank Alex for running it and even though it was bloody cold up north the southerner managed to get some of next year's army bought.
Will be posting my next list soon.

Blogwars

So the first and second plans for Blogwars lay trodden into the ground. So plan C, I think
The army is based around the Chaos Codex but does not have a Helldrake.

So the list is

Slannesh Lord
Khorne Lord on Jugger, accompanied by 3 Chaos Spawn

Unit of Terminators

10 Cultists
7 Fallen Dark Angels
5 Chaos Space Marines
5 Berserker
10 Noise Marines

2 Maulerfiends with Lasher Tendrils

So what is the plan, well obviously surge forwards with the Maulerfiends and Khrone Lord then see what happens

Not my model 

Space Marines

So with the new Space Marine codex on the horizon and me deciding to attend a tourney this year. I have decided to make a new space marine army. The plan for this is to buy two boxes as a start of The Space Marine battleforce the Blood Angels battleforce. These will be the start and then we will see what comes out next is the next bit

Guess what never happened (read the title of the blog)

Legends of Empire

Right no preamble here am nearly done on an army  32 odd models nearly done for a small skirmish force of Nappy French six veterans to do
Question is which non Europeans would look good fighting them
Ideas are Japanese peasants, African Tribes

Too Infinity we hope

So its the New Year.And you should have broken all your resolutions by now.

So I have resolved that I will do things that I want while slimming down the collection of unpainted models in my collection.

So at the moment what is gathering dust on the painting shelf.
Crusade Era Knights and Gondor Rangers, these will be used for Saga when I have picked up the rules and picked up Fireforge Foot Knights.
Menoth stuff, right when the airbrush is purchased I will buy the colossal and get at least 35 pts of this army together, seeing as I want a colossal should not be too many other models to go with this.
Lord of the Rings stuff I have probably got enough of this to paint till the end of days. I will make and keep a War of the Ring Elven army with this stuff and buy some of the Knights of Rivendell.
Infinity- Right the big one for me, too long have these gorgeous models been sat around in foam and boxes. Too long have I owned the rules and done f^**& all with them. I this year will learn Infinity and play games of this brilliant looking system

Side note is that I have now painted nearly everything I own and will be adding to this only to consolidate my  squads 

40K, the gorilla in the room. I have a big enough army of Blood Angels to play with I will limit myself to making the two assault squads up to 10 men and then I will finish painting them and low it shall be finished. I may end up getting a couple of tanks and realize my dream of a tank company army with some Baal and normal Predators.
Flames of War I have an army and have the start of a second I shall complete the second and be happy to call this finished.
Wyrd Plans are afoot for a alliance with both Sonia Cridd and Rasputina fighting to fulfill my plans as there is a lot of crossover with these two masters

Also due to the fun I have had with blogspot not being able to remember any f*&&^^ passwords for the last year I will now be leaving this site to gather dust if you want to see the progress for the rest of the year follow me on twitter https://twitter.com/benquintiliani and may your paints stay wet.

Xmas Joy OK something like that

So it Xmas and the turkey is getting fat, or those that have been spared are counting their lucky stars.

In the season of goodwill I thought I would give you all some pics if I am able to I will try to get better pics

 

Here are my Flames of War Americans started. You can see a Hellcat painted for winter behind the command stand

 Above and below are the pics of a demon painted for the challenge. I wanted people to look at her and go yep that is a demon 

Week off

So have had this week off work. So the question is what have I been up to...

Bolt Action has been tempting a couple of my mates and so I am never one to pass up the chance to look at another rule set so here is the start of my Rangers Platoon

Some of these will have greatcoats but not all some are just to hard to need a coat no matter what the weather.

The Cursed Knight, the inspiration for this model came the Leprous King in Kingdom of Heaven and as a consequence of his malady he is able to use tainted weapons. He will be joining the Knights Templar who are already painted and now the force will no longer be just Knights Templar because I was driving myself mad painting that amount of white  :-(

 

Dark Angel Successor Company Master not worked out what their Chapter name is but will use them as allies for either my Lamenters or Grey Knights and here is a Devastator Squad, the fluff will be that they are having problems getting technology so that is why they cannot get all the weapons that the book allows 

I have also put together a couple of Bazooka squads and a Priest for Flames of War as well as painting the rest of my Sherman Tanks and Hellcat Tank Destroyer in winter colours

 Above and below are some ideas for my Armies on Parade board High Elves

 Easterlings with supporting Light Infantry will have to see what works
