A wedding and two new games

I was gone last weekend - we went out of state to attend a wedding.  Fortunately, it was in the town where I went to college, which meant that I could see friends and nearby family, and revist the old stomping grounds.  Most of the game stores (hell, all of them, I think) that I used to hanfg out at are all gone.  But new ones have arisen in their place, and I wound up with two new games - Boss Monster and a Pandemic expansion.  Both will be getting played soon.

Anyway, continuing on my thoughts about Kanban boards and being overwhelmed, I need to take a pic of the current board and decide what to do.  I did get some stuff built the last couple of days, and I should be able to prime later today.  I think that, for the most part, this week I shall concentrate on getting some paint onto some Malifaux figs.  Next week, I think I will concentrate on FSA (and hopefully Planetfall).  The week after that, Warmachine.  And then I think it is on to GenCon (or near enough), so I will also be spending time the next few weeks getting ready to put things up for auction.

With that in mind, for today, I have two or three Ten Thunders models to assemble, and about a dozen of them to prime.  I plan on doing that today, plus basing some of the Kings of War models, and putting some base colors on some Malifaux figs, though I don't know whether it will be more Ten Thunders or the Latigo posse.  Or Gremlins. 

Now - as a sidebar - I said that I would be concentrating on Malifaux.  That's largely true, but I should have my Rhulic colossal coming in the mail tomorrow, so when it shows up, I might start putting that together.  Because I want to field it. 

Back to losing again

No pics, sorry.

Got two games in yesterday. The first was a 35-pt, battlebox required, but 'caster swap allowed, journeyman league game. I was running Durgen, the battlebox 'jacks, Thor (and a marshalled Basher), a min unit of High Shields with the UA, and a full unit of Ogrun Assault Corps.

It wasn't even close. I had some bad die rolls, and some bad placement, and I just could not crack the Xersis + Cetrati + Arcuri brick. Gorten would have done better, I think - heck, he could not have done any worse. I really wanted to try Madhammer, however, since I have only used him once or twice so far, and I want to figure him out.

Lost the second game as well. I am painting Circle this month, so I wanted to play at least a couple of games with them. I ran the battlebox, a Pureblood, Druids, Stoneward & Woldstalkers, and Shifting Stones.

Again, I placed badly, but Circle is fast enough that I could undo some of that, but my Legion opponent was into the killbox well before I was, so I was caught in one corner, with limited maneuvering room. I did not do as poorly as in the other battle - I killed a few things, but in the end, the only way I could win was to attempt an assasination run on eThag, which did not end well.

I definitely need to play Circle more, but I won't get in as many games this month as I would like. March should give me a lot more games, and I won't feel restricted to only one faction, like I (generally) have been for the Journeyman league. I probably will bring 2-3 armies with me each week, and then either let my opponent choose which they want to face, or dice between them or something. A couple of the guys at my FLGS are wanting to go play in some tourneys at GenCon, so they really want to play against as many different casters and factions as possible. Fortunately for them, my factional ADD will let me oblige them there.

Yay - I finished something!

Finished these last night, except for the weathering powder and the Rhulic script. Got those done today, and they have been sealed, so I guess I have to call them done now. The pics aren't the best, but if they are needed for the gallery, that's fine.

This was my first attempt to use the weathering powders on something like a miniature. I have used them for a model train layout, but that stuff gets a lot less handling than your average gaming piece. I had some problems with them at first - I actually blasted some off when I started sealing them, but that's probably for the best, since I had accidentally been a bit heavy-handed with them.



I cheated and used a technical pen for the script. Much easier than trying to paint it.



I needed some way to tell my Gunbunnies apart, and I will probably get another Basher later this year, so I might as well mark it now.





I was going for something similar to Tonka yellow, and wanted to have the 'jacks with some battle damage. The yellow gave me a lot more problems than it should have - I picked up the figs used, and they had been primed black. I should have spent the time stripping them, but I tried to just push through it. In real life, the colors are a bit better than they are in the pics, but I'm not super-happy with it. (Not annoyed with it enough to thinking about stripping them anytime soon, although I probably will at some point, if I ever start clearing off my backlog of figs.)

So, Basher (7 pts) + Gunner (3pts) = 10 pts for January. Not great, but I'll take it. If nothing else, it stops me using my "Get Out of Painting Free" card in the 2012 challenge.

Now - on to February. The Journeyman league is almost over, so I can play whatever I want next month. According to my iBodger log, the only two factions for which nothing is finished are Retribution and Menoth. Several other factions have only one or two models actually completed, so it's not a huge difference - I mean, going from 0% to .8% is not huge jump, right? Maybe I will paint some Skorne for this month - I could finish some Immortals and an Ancestral Guardian fairly easily, and then try to get some base colors down on some other models.

Or I could paint Circle. I have a couple lists that I would like to try, although I am a few models short. (How did I manage to have pBaldur all this time, and never pick up Megalith?) I could knock out some Legion beasts fairly easily, although I may save those for later on in the year, when time is short, and I need easy projects. Or when I want to paint 30-50 points in a month.

Maybe I should just finish up my Khador battle engine. It's started, but not too far along, and I think I have a lot of spare time in the next couple of weeks. I might work on odd projects until the weekend, and decide Saturday night. I'll still probably stick to one faction this month - I just don't know which one, as of yet.

At last, an update!

Just some random proof that I have been doing some actual "painting" this month. (Okay, I call it painting, other people may not. I won't win awards, but that's fine by me. I just want to get this stuff beyond bare metal or primer. )

Anyway, back at the beginning of the month, I said that I would be concentrating on Mercs, mainly my Rhulic, and I took a pic to show how little I had done with them at that point in time. And indeed, some of it was black primed (I got them that way, and given all the troubles with the yellow, I should have taken the time to strip them and reprime them), but more were little more than bare metal.

But, I am happy to say that progress has been made. As proof, I offer the following:

The Basher (and the Gunner next to it) are getting close to being done. I need to add some details, and finish some of the panels, but the end is in sight. (Good thing, too - the end of the month is coming up, and I need to paint at least 5 points for the challenge.)



The Immortals are low-hanging fruit. I really should finish them. It would not take too long, it would add considerably to my painted total, and I could focus on something new.


And yes, my painting area is still fairly clean, which comes as a major shocker, frankly.

And yes, I know the pics aren't very good. I wasn't trying to take good pics, simply pics.

No pics, but progress

I will be taking pics before I paint tonight, but I wanted to note that I have indeed been making some progress on my Rhulic models. The yellows are being problematic, but I confess to being really adamant on making my color scheme work.

I managed another win Saturday (yay!), but forgot to take along a camera (boo!). Same Rhulic list as before, with the addition of the High Shield UA and a Basher (marshalled by Thor). The legion list was basically battlebox plus Typhon.

Typhon, quite frankly, scares me. In fact, that entire legion list had me worried. The only reason I won, I suspect, is because he did not run straight for my line and force the engagement. The longer you dance around a Rhulic gun line, the more you lose. It would have been even worse for him if I had remembered my High Shields mini-feat, but I forgot.

I'm rather glad that I did not get the chance to play the Skorne list. Battlebox plus full Cetrati and beast handlers made for a list that will get in my Rhulic face and tear me apart. I think he wants a match, however, so I think I have a loss coming in the near future.

This is why I say I have a problem. . .

OKay, aside from the fact that the pics for the Minuteman were released today, and of course, I want a couple of them (for a Kraye list, of course), tonight was yet another piece of evidence that I have some pretty strong faction ADD.

Remember how, just a couple of weeks ago, I suggested that I might benefit from a structured approach to my painting? So far, I have been doing alright by it - I have done virtually no painting on non-Mercenary, and even non-Rhulic, models. Of course, that did not stop me from working on assembling models from other factions. In my defense, I was actually waiting for the paint to dry on a couple of armor sections so that I could add the next layer, and I worked on getting some long-WIP models ready for priming.

I was going to try and get my High Shields together, but somehow I lost the left arms to 4 of them. They'll sit in that state for another month or two, although I do intend to have them assembled and primed at least before the first of June. (No, they are not likely to be my GenCon army. . . but I do like them enough to think of them as a decent backup choice.)

Battle report from Saturday

OKay, I haven't done any sort of documentation on my battles before. And, I did not bother to take along a camera to record what I was certain would be another couple of losses - albeit fun ones. So, no pics, sorry. These battles were all under the Journeyman league rules.

Game #1

I got in a straight-up battlebox game - Gorten v. pKreoss. The board was basically symmetrical, with a small hill in the middle, two houses on opposite corners, and walls on the other two. First turn, we both advance - he starts casting Defender's Ward, and I put up Strength of Granite and Solid Ground.

I score the first damage, when the gunbunnies open up on his two light jacks, but neither is crippled by the exchange. He counters by setting one of the gunbunnies on fire, which winds up burning for the rest of the game, but never doing any damage. I feat, move his jacks around, and the driller destroyers the Crusader, while the gunbunnies finish off the Repenter. He uses the arc node on his Revenger to light another gunbunny with Immolation, but doing little else to it. For reasons of time (other players had arrived, and he wanted to play them too), he decided to call it - pKreoss and a badly damaged revenger against three gunbunnies and a driller, with my turn coming up, and in a mangled metal game, meant that I needed to roll really badly not to win the game as soon as I went.

Game #2

Same terrain set up as before. This time, it was a 15-pt Gorten versus a 15-pt Legion list. He was running the Legion battlepack, plus the Strider Deathstalker. With 15 pts, I was able to take the Gorten battlebox, plus Thor, and a minimum unit of the High Shield Gun Corps. (Gotta love the fact that the Gorten box is only 8 pts.)

Again, we both advance, and I always seem to forget how fast some of the Legion stuff can be. He did forget to use the advance deploy on the Deathstalker, fortunately for me. I use the same spells as before, although in retrospect, I probably could have dropped the Solid Ground.

First blood went to me, as the gunbunnies took out two of the shredders. Unfortunately, I did not put up Rock Wall, and on the next turn, pLylyth feats, putting Parasite on the Driller, and putting some hurt on Gorten. The remaining Shredders take to chewing up my High Shields (who, foolishly, forgot to use Shield Wall), and putting the stop to the gunbunnies. A Carnivean comes out of nowhere, and it's helly and good-bye, Mr. Driller. The Deathstalker comes up the flank, and Thor is dead, with more damage on Gorten.

It's not looking good for my stunty little caster at this point. Looking at the board, if I cannot win on my next turn, I am dead, because a Carnivean is going to eat Gorten (which is how my last game against Legion ended, actually.) I keep all the focus on myself, move up, and feat, dragging everything toward my table edge. Unfortunately, while this moves the Carnivean past me (and facing the wrong way, so I at least won't eat a charge next turn), it does not bring pLylyth into base with me. But she is in range of the gun, so I boost to hit and damage, but not quite killing her. Close, so close. But one gunbunny is not in melee with anything, so I take the aiming bonus, and score a lucky hit, killing her. Luck had a lot to do with the victory there - it was a "go big, or go home" moment, and, if the dice had not gone my way, I probably would have lost on my next turn.

Game #3

Different table, with the houses being replaced with stone columns, and a large hill with some obstructing terrain on it in the center. I was running the same list as before; hew was running the Skorne battlepack, plus a minimum unit of Beast Handlers and a Void Spirit. Now, think back to my list, and think about how few offensive spells and magic weapons I have. If you think that Void Spirit is going to be a problem for me, you have that right.

Both of us spent the first couple of turns moving up, with me casting my upkeeps and him sweeping around with that pesky Void Spirit. I scored first blood, putting some hurt on one of the Cyclops, but nothing that could not be healed. And, in exchange for the small amount of damage I put on the Cyclops, I wound up with a Void Spirit in the middle of the High Shield Corps, where it killed one outright, and another with Eruption of Ash. The Cyclops shut down the gunbunnies, and the Gladiator pretty much crushes one, and finishes off another.

I feat, move some things around, and try to kill stuff in return, but without much luck, thanks to pMorghul's feat. Thor manages to kill the Void Spirit, mainly by firing his spray into melee, and frankly, killing one of my own High Shield is worth the Void Spirit. But the turn ends with me well down on forces, and pMorghul mostly unhurt.

I don't recall the exact sequence of events for the next couple of turns, but the end result was that the driller was wounded, but not gone, and the gladiator had slammed Gorten out of the killbox, but naturally followed up. So Gorten starts out in base with the gladiator, and out of the killbox. Thor tunes up the Driller, and it kills off the one Cyclops that pMorghul can use for transfers. Gorten moves around the Gladiator, and back into the killbox, triggering a free strike, but putting him in a position where he can take two shots at pMorghul. Both are boosted, both hit, both damage rolls are boosted, and with no beast that can take damage, pMorghul dies.

It should be noted that the Skorne player, by all rights, should have been able to crush Gorten with the gladiator. Too many 3d6 damage rolls that failed to break 7, and I think there was at least one triple 1's for damage. On average rolls from my opponent, I would have lost. And, without some lucky rolls on my part, he would have won.

The streak is broken!

Huzzah and at last. We got some games in for the league today, and Gorten is doing much better. I'll see if I can cobble together some battle reports, but my Rhulic forces did well today, although one game was only won because my opponents dice completely crapped out on him, and a gladiator that, by all rights should have killed my poor little stunty, did not even scratch him.

FWIW - even if I had lost, I had a lot of fun playing today. Everyone got in a couple of games, and it sounded like everyone had a good time, which is the important thing. Now to start planning for next week - those extra 10 points will be put to good use, I am sure.

I know, I know. . . .

it's been a couple of days since I posted anything. I have barely painted, but that's because this week has been prepping for my son's pinewood derby race, and so, while I am technically working on a miniature, it's (1) a car; (2) not for gaming; and (3) my son is the one doing the work, more or less, just under my supervision.

I have done some assembly on my hamerfall high shield corps, and hope to have them ready for priming in a few days. Before Saturday, anyway. It depends on whether or not I get to work on them tonight and tomorrow. I'll probably take another WIP pic sometime this weekend, and everyone can laugh at my lack of progress.

Belated pic, as promised

So, I did take a pic, like I promised the other day. I hadn't really worked on any of the Rhulic stuff so far at that point, and , sadly and shamefully enough, it hasn't changed much from the picture below.

(Obviously, I did not care too much about the quality of the pic. The stuff is barely primed, for pete's sake. Detailed pics are kind of pointless.)

I have more mercs, but not many. Not pictured are pMagnus and his jacks, Boomhowler and Co, a Nomad, and maybe a solo or three. I am probably going to ignore them for the month, however, and concentrate on my Rhulic forces. I have enough that I have options for the rest of the journeyman league, although I might look into getting Herne and Jonne, and maybe Brun and Lug. They may have to wait a bit, of course.

Too many models, not enough time, and I really want to play around with getting my painted log caught up properly in iBodger. With any luck, tonight I will get some time to paint, although it means a break from cleaning out the basement - a project which is only tangentially related to gaming, and has been put off for far too long.

Hooray for consistency!

So,. our Journeyman league started today, and I had a couple of players show up, which is always a good thing. Everyone got in at least two games, and the other guys managed to get in three. I, naturally, maintained my streak, and lost both of my games.

I did not take a camera, but the first game was my Gorten battlebox against Legion. The Legion player realized that standing back from a gunbunny gunline was a bad idea, and he attempted an assassination run. He came within a single point of killing Gorten, which I must confess caused me more than a bit of distress, and then it was my turn. Upkept Strength of Granite on the driller, popped feat to move Lylyth into range, charged with the driller, and missed. Managed to connect only once before I ran out of focus, and it wasn't enough. On his next turn, the Carnivean walked over and pretty much ate Gorten in a single hit.

The game against Skorne went little better. Managed to do okay, popped feat to move things back out of melee range, but when push came to shove, my poor driller went up against a gladiator, and left him with a single point remaining. Next turn, the gladiator was healed enough to be fully capable, and he crushed the poor driller. No driller and with battered gunbunnies stuck in melee meant that the game was over quickly, and not in my favor.

Still, had fun, of course, and I handed out some free copies of the quick start rules to some interested bystanders. Hopefully we gain some more players over the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, my plans to attend the local con are not going to happen - family stuff is going to intervene, so I am looking into some other options for drumming up new players.

A structured approach, perhaps?

So, while painting in the basement tonight (that's right - I said painting), it struck me. There are 11 factions (more or less), and 12 months of the year. It's not a perfect matchup, but maybe instead of my hit or miss (mostly miss) approach to painting, I should spend this year with a little more structure.

So, for this month, I am going to concentrate on Mercenaries. I figure I will primarily work on my Rhulic stuff, for a Searforge list, although I might try and get some base colors on my old Magnus battlebox. I don't know what I will do for next month, but for this month, if they don't fight for pay, I won't be painting them.

Tomorrow, before I start work, I think I need to take a "before" pic. I haven't done too much so far this month, but a before and after pic should show some progress over the next four weeks. I also need to finish up some terrain projects, so I can work on picking up some Talion figs, in order to get going on my goal of having a 50 point list for everything by the end of 2012.

Hah! I accomplished something!

Okay, it wasn't much, but in addition to unpacking all the stuff I had taken with me when I was out of town, I managed to get the Wardog assembled and primed, primed the HRT (which, since I bought used, was thoughtfully preassembled) and fixed Durgen and Thor for my Rhulic. My goal for the week (and weekend) is to do some cleaning in the basement, and take a "beginning of year" shot of each faction, pact or contract. I'll try to take another one sometime in the summer, and then another about the end of the year. With any luck, there will be some progress, beyond adding more models.

WIP & Color test

Just posting to prove that I haven't been lounging in the basement, goofing off and ignoring the piles of unpainted metal. (Sure, others have more, but I just view that as a challenge. Besides, even though Bartertown is currently down, I still collect new figs faster than I paint them. So, these are all WIPs or color tests, since each one is basically the beginning of a new army. (Heck, who am I kidding - I have four (4!) figures painted. Everything could be a color test for a new army.)

Anyway, first up is Khador.



As you may guess, my Khador will be loosely modelled after WW II Soviet forces - it fits thematically, and, since I have a bunch of Strelkovy sitting around for Flames of War, I had the paints too. This is the whitewash winter scheme - the whitewash had a tendency to wear off, especially around the edges, which is what I am going for here.

Next up is Cygnar.



The Cygnar is based off one of the alternate color schemes in one of the later MK I expansions, Escalation. This one is Fort Falk, which I prefer to the normal Cygnar blue. I might do my Magnus figs in the deeper blue that got mentioned somewhere in the fluff, however. (For the record - my Menoth will probably be in the Sanguine Escutcheon color scheme. Not far enough along on anything for it to be worth a pic though.)

Here we have my attempt to match Tonka yellow:



It's a little closer than it looks in the photo, but it's not quite what I want just yet. Unfortunately, I am not sure I wrote down all the steps, so I need to do a couple armor plates on another Rhulic jack soon, just to see if I am correct.

Last, but not least - I decided that I might strip my partially painted Retribution figs, and go back to square one.



It's simple, it's easy, and I think it will work well when I finally buy and paint my battle cricket. . . .I mean, Arcane Force Generator.

Hooray for Rhulic!

So, since there were no responses (means I need more readers), I decided to go with my Rhulic figs. Because I am trying to avoid running proxies when possible, I wound up with the following list:

Durgen Madhammer

• Basher
• Gunner
• Gunner
• Rockram

Thor Steinhammer

• Driller
• Blaster

Ogrun Assault Corps (full unit)


They fared pretty well. I lost Thor, the Driller, the Blaster, one Ogrun and one Gunbunny before the store had to close, but I did manage to put the hurt on the Cygnar player opposite me, and a couple lucky rolls let me take out Stryker. I do need to pick up a few actual units, but I must admit, the Durgen's feat and the Assault Corps, plus a few Explosivo on the jacks was a lot of fun.

And, my new model count goes up by one - I picked up Ossyan tonight as well.

Poll question

Go ahead and choose - I should be getting to play tomorrow. Do I lose with Retribution (likely Rahn, unless Ossyan is at the FLGS), Trolls, or my brand-new, never used by me before, Rhulic army? I'm leaning toward the dwarves, simply because (a) I haven't used them before; (b) I have a full Ogrun Assault Corps, and (c) I bought shiny new dice to go with their eventual, Tonka-style paint job.

Call now, operators are standing by, calls are only $3.99/minute, 5 minute minimum. Or, just leave a comment. Whichever.

Yep, 601 figures. On a faction basis, it breaks down as follows:

Cryx - 69 models
Circle - 35 models
Cygnar - 64 models
Legion - 8 models
Khador - 8 models
Skorne - 117 models
Menoth - 38 models
Trollbloods - 85 models
Retribution - 79 models
Minions - 71 models
Mercenaries - 27 models

The sad thing is that 4 of them are painted. Yep, 4. There are more that are "done," but I am not counting them, since they are headed for the strip bath later on this week. There are perhaps 50 or 60 more that are very close to being finished - a few evenings of dedicated work would finish the unit of Immortals, a minimum unit of Gatormen, a couple of Cryx jacks, Hakar, and so forth. And, for the record, although not everything is assembled and primed, most of it is, and most models even have some color on them. (Yes, I am grasping at straws here. . . cut me some slack, right?)

Anyway, in addition to the inventory, and the priming of the two models earlier, I got the backpacks onto a full unit (plus command) of Houseguard riflemen, and they got primed as well. Not the most productive day, but certainly not something to be ashamed of, either.

New day, new distraction

It's still Warmachine related, but the mail today brought some Rhulic goodness. I picked up the following figs:

Durgen Madhammer(primed black)
Wroughthammer Rockram(primed black)
Ghordson Basher(half painted)
Driller x2(both primed black)
Thor Steinhammer(primed black)
Ghordson Gunner x3(primed black)
Ghordson Blaster x2 (primed black)

I also finished building a dice tower last night, and am trying to finish up four figs from Reaper's CAV line for someone.
