EVERYTHING'S GETTING ON TRACK!!! HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR!!

Okay, the end of last year was brutal, but I hope most things have ironed themselves out. Lots of things are going on in the miniatures world, with tons of products coming out every month including the new Deathwatch game from Games Workshop. Despite how you might feel, even at the extreme price of 165$ the game's a good deal and is on my "things to buy down the road", but more importantly I'm working on 1) Kings of War, 2)Malifaux, 3)Wrath of Kings, 4)Warhammer 40k, 5) anything else I have left over. Some progress on my armies is below.

Herd 

I don't know how quickly I'll be working on anything besides Kings of War, since money had become increasingly tight, but with my new job I have an abundance of time I hope to put to good use. There are so many good games out there right now, I hope people will give everything a try and not let their bias get in the way of trying something great. Either way, get out there and play something, even if it's Monopoly or Chess, get out and interact with people and spread the word.

Herd

In case you're wondering about a model I used, just drop me a message or ask in the comments. Right now my current armies that are all WIP for Kings of War are The Herd, Forces of Nature, Nightmares, Varungar, Forces of the Abyss, Salamander Armies and The Empire of Dust. Aside from The Herd and Forces of the Abyss, I don't plan to finish any of them soon. I plan as of right now to take my Herd or Forces of the Abyss to the SlobberknockerGT 2016 later this year. For more information go to Slobberknocker GT 2016!

In closing, I finally finished my Nurgle Chaos Lord of the Crimson Laughter!!!

Updates Coming Soon

Been neglectful of the ole blog for the last year, but that's about to change. With all the changes as late (graduation, quitting my job of 10 years, getting my CSM armies up and running and clearing out my other armies) plans are in place to go back to regular updates of my blog, on the effect of every 2 or 3 days. First WIP of new CSM list should be any day now.

This is my almost done Nurgle Lord for the Purge of Slaughter.

And this will be his counts as Palanquin, the Beasts of Slaughter.

More Kill Team Madness

Just a real quick post from the phone  but first two killteams are nearly finished painting and war hammer regiments are nearly finished. So far my kill teams consist of


Five plague marines with lightning claw double melts guns and a nurgle chaos spawn


And 4 nurgle spawn with 10 cultists.

Pictures tomorrow.

In the Year 2014................

Well, Tyranids come out in 2 weeks. That's a huge start to the year. Even if they suck there will be some good conversion material/base models  to be had. I don't know how exciting the book will be, but I'm still in the throes of loving small scale battles. With the release of Deadzone, new Killteam rules, and Regiments of Renown, all my interest is in small scale battles. More articles and battle reports to be had in the coming year, but for now here's my current Kill Team featuring Mortimer and friends.

Mechanisms of Mal’al

The Masters of Malice

It’s been less than two months since Chaos Daemons and Daemons of Chaos books hit the shelves, and already talk has died out on the interwebs. Some speak in hushed tones and others tout the strength of these books, but I for one am still finding lots to love about Chaos Daemons in 6^th. At first glance, some things look way stronger than they are. Horrors and flamers for one, as they used to be the shooting end of the Chaos Daemons book. Now shooting is almost totally gone in the 6^th edition book to be replaced by horde mechanics and fast assault units, oh which the book specializes in. At least five units in the codex have the ability to contact close combat on your second turn, in and of itself an amazing feat. This is made better by

Mal'al cares not where the chaos flows,
only that it comes with malice....

the fact that daemons now have a way to overcome their lack of grenades in a heavy cannon unit that may end up a must have. Over crowded fast and heavy slots hurt the codex, as do over priced headquarter units, but super cheap and decent troops balance this out. With the silly Warp Storm chart, mono-god armies seem to be a good idea but honestly the only decent lists seem to be a potpourri of a little bit of everything.  It took me a few weeks but I’m finally happy with the list I developed, even though there’s some debate about the Bloodthirster.
