Modelling and Painting Updates

Hey guys - a bit of a lag between posting again, hard to get myself back into the swing of things I guess.

Anyway, thats not to say a lack of painting, modelling and gaming, although the stresses of buying a house and a new job do get in the way.

Ive managed to redo my old Karchev the Terrible, with a more suitable (i think) weathered and beaten look, and not such a weird hand pose.


Here is the original paint scheme, Im still not certain I actually improved him at all!



Another, mostly finished but still a little WIP model is pDenny:


And last but not least (for today anyway) is Nightmare, converted from an old Slayer I had lying around. Apart from a badass pose, Nightmares main ingredient is big claws... so I stole some tyranid ones to make his claws a bit bigger. No paint on him yet, though, Ill get on to that soon I hope :D

Two games in - and the enthusiasm is back!

Had my second game last night, with a karchev + jack heavy list, and won on caster kill. This was a welcome relief from my first game, where I lost by scenario. The scenario in this game was to control a 12" diameter circle in the middle of the map - I was playing against an Irusk tier list which included the Behemoth.

No pics, unfortunately (forgot to take the camera) but it unfolded like this: 2 units of Man of War come in from his flank to the middle, plus the Behemoth and a Berserker. I totally mess up a Karchev power slide and end up 1-2" away from the Behemoth with 3 of my jacks. Then, my opponent messes up by forgetting to allocate focus to the behemoth - leaving the Behemoth failing to damage (significantly) any of my jacks. My turn - and Unearthly Rage wrecks both the Behemoth and the Zerker, and from that point I was just clearing troops till Irusk went down to a powerslide + Unearthly Rage attack by Drago/Spriggan/Kodiak. Good times :)

Back - After a long hiatus

Hello readers! (If there are any left, that is!)

After a long break from the hobby, due to moving to a new region and a new job, I have decided to get back into the game in full swing. I have looked around and through the local hobby shop (Jambo Hobbies in Napier) I have found a club that has recently gotten together to play Warmachine.

This sounds great to me, so this Thursday I will be packing a 50 point army to meet some of the guys, and have a game. Its only been a year or so since my last game, but im sure this will go well - Ill just take the ridiculously powerful Strahkov + Beast 09 combo that I won so many games with before, and see how it goes.

So, Ill take the camera as well, and have a play. Im quite excited about getting back into it, I suppose being a social hobby it sucked not to have anyone to play against (I miss you John, if your still around!)

Luckily Forward Kommander is still around, and I made a list for tomorrow night:

Kommander Strakhov

>Beast-09

>Destroyer

>Juggernaut

>War dog

Great Bears of Gallowswood

Widowmakers (Leader and 3 Grunts)

Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts)

>Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard

>Winter Guard Mortar Crew (Leader and Grunt)

Harlan Versh

Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich

Man-o-war Drakhun (without dismount)

Widowmaker Marksman

A Sad State Of Affairs

Hey guys, been a while since I posted due to being extremely busy... Im moving, and so have been doing a lot of work on packing up the house, and sorting out stuff to leave behind / sell / give to the salvation army.

While doing all this hard work, ive been convinced I do not need as many *toys* as I have, regardless of my protests that they are "Action Figures", and thus do not constitute toys.

Since my wife is better at arguing than I am, ive relented and decided to put some of my millions of Khador and random assorted models up for sale. This includes some Cygnar, Skorne and Retribution stuff I had collected, but never really used...

Anyway, for any NZers interested in some stuff, its all in varying conditions, some straight out of the box, some constructed, based and undercoated but never got round to painting, and some painted (to a high quality, of course).

Heres a link to go have a peruse, and perhaps bid on stuff! =D *CLICK ME*
