Last day of the year...

and the new Decade starts tomorrow...or would that actually be 2011 that the decade would start...ehhh no worries either way...

I feel as though I have painted a good bit of my marines up this year...meet my goal of 1500 points worth of Ultra Templar painted and ready to go...3 tact squads of Soul Drinkers were painted up and more marines then you could shake a stick at were assembled...haha

So for 2010 I am going to be trying to jump on the point system of painting as well...

my goal will be 120 points for the year...or rougly 10 points a month...which is a tact squad a month or a rhino...haha

The formula
I obviously won't be painting exactly the same proportion number of infantry, cavalry, monster and vehicle models so I need a way to compare one set of models to another. Here is the formula I came up with.

•Infantry = 1 point
•Cavalry or bikes = 2 points
•Monster or Dreadnought = 5 points
•Vehicle = 10 points
•Superheavy vehicle = 20 points
My aim for 2009 is to score 100 points or more.

so yeah this is a quote from the Lone Pilgram painting blog...soo my goal as of 2010 is going to be 120 points...and when the blood angels come out the Infantry count should go up 20+ points right there from my assault marines...haha...man my assault marines better be troop choices or I will be pissed...haha

Life is a busy thing...

Always doing something and every chance I get to escape the house to get down to the FLGS I get stopped at the last minute with something that can clearly wait another day to do...

so in other words I have not played a game in almost a month now...but I should be able to get a game or two in tomorrow with one of my friends at his house...

My Space Marine Ultra Templar army is painted up to a 1500 point army...but I dont plan on stopping there...my plan is to have a whole battle company...or atleast a few tact squads and one assault squad...and powerfist galor in this army...Both Tact squads painted up have a powerfist sarge...on top of the Sternguards sarge having on and then the Terminators having one base price...always enjoyable...but think about it a powerfist is what 25 points right...a terminator is 40 points...you are paying 15 points for a veteran in a 2+ armour...sternguard I think go out at 20-25 points I dont have the codex right here but I am somewhat sure it is 25 points a piece...haha

But none the less I have two drop pods painted up for the army...plus the crusader...all ready to go but tomorrow I am playing at 2000 points so I am going to be short 500 points...maybe I will use another Crusader and an assault termie squad...eat up those orks...silly orks...haha

Not to mention my Soul Drinkers I am sitting on 3 tact squads painted up and ready to go...on top of Cassius painted up like Chaplain Iktinos I may paint over his face and paint it all white like a skull instead of the half-metal/half-flesh tone it is right now...as Iktinos never takes his helmet off...

Also the Sarpdon conversion is going along decently...not one of the best ones out there but if you know the chapter then you would know who he is by taking one quick look...but like I have said I need to figure out how to make The Hell work in game terms...I think the necrons decievers power would work the best I just need to upgrade it a bit to make it even better...

But hopefully around the end of next month I can be back up and playing more 40k as well as back at the job full-time...haha

Later all

Gawd...I love Christmas on Friday...

HAHA...awesome I know right...it is a two-for-one type deal including me having my daughter this entire weekend...the only major catch was she was with her mom from 4pm on the 24th till 2pm today...

so I slept in till 1 so I would not be down and bummed out that I was not with my daughter...it kinda helped that I played Assassins Creed 2 (early present from my little sister) till 5 am...I dozed off for a second and woke up to a bunch of dead guards laying around my characters body...hahah

...At that point I knew it was time for bed...haha

Nine days later...

Ok I am still here I promise and yes I know I missed last fridays update as well...so we will just skip that...power was out anyway from a very nice little snow storm we had...but hey my daughter had a blast the entire time she was with me...

awesome I know right...

but I am still here but Christmas time is coming up...sooo I do not think getting a game is going to happen until after christmas...maybe not till 2010...NOOOOO...

also I figured out a bit more of the Ultra Templar Fluff...more to come on that...lets just say I have more reason to buy Green...and Robed marines...hehe...ok I will keep them black and blue but you see where I am going with this...

Also this was just posted to the Bell of Lost Souls...and I loved the old school Movie Marines...this one seems like a lot of fun...and a heck of a lot more sense for a marines stat lines...haha

MOVIE MARINES ARE AWESOME I KNOW RIGHT

Gawd...I Love Saturdays...?...Huh...

Yeah I forgot...haha...

spent the morning finishing up the Sternguard for the Ultra Templar...white helmets is a hard thing to do over black primer...also I primed up my Drop Pod...then I picked up my daughter from Preschool...and I just now stopped...at 1am...she went to bed at 9pm friday night...so no one jump my case...haha

Just stuff to do around the house and help out my family...

A lot...

...

No I mean it really...a lot of stuff...and more to do tomorrow...wow...thanks for not giving me a list earlier in the week to do while no one was home and everyone was out of my way...haha

But none the less I feel like I owe the few dozen or so people that check up on me atleast a quick picture...haha

Update TIME...

Well The Ultra Templar Chapter is coming along...I thought I would put some time into them as the Soul Drinkers have been getting all my attention as of late...sooo

UPDATE TIME...

Ultra Templar have a Chapter Master now...haha...Storm Bolter, Relic Blade...pic later

They also have a 10 Man Tactical Squad finished...Serge has Plasma Pistol, Powerfist, the Squad gets a melta and a Missile Launcher...

Also an old school Crusader with the metal guns has been repainted into the Ultra Templar colors...Black and Blue...



And the Sternguard are coming along nicely...

The Sarge I think came out pretty darn good actually...haha...


The Rest of the Squad is being finished up right now so their pics will come later with the Chapter Master...

Wow...I mean wow...

I just dropped down the box to the right side with all the 40k blogs that I enjoy to read every now and then or something to give me an idea of whats going on out there...and I mean just wow

I got a lot...probably about half as many as FTW or Bell of Lost Souls...

That means only one thing...

...

I should probably stop drinking...

haha

Gawd...I love Fridays...

No really I do...I dropped my daughter off at school around 8ish this morning came back home and threw on a quick paint job on a 10 man squad of Ultra Templar...they were from when I first started back in the begining of 4th edition...haha...10 guys includes a meltagun, ML, Sarge w/PF and Plasma Pistol...not half bad...but the Missile Launcher guy needs a lot of love...and new torso...and new Missile Launcher...luckly I have a few around in my bits container...I just need him for his legs really..haha

Well I am posting this and going back to bed...I have not been sleeping well and the house is actually quite so I am going to take full advantage of this...

haha

Sarpdon just need a new coat...

HAHA...well as I was up till 530 this morning...and could not sleep I finished up Sarpdon's Conversion...only a 7 legged freak...but his bionic leg is the only thing missing...Gave him an Axe and a Bolter...Bolt Pistol on his side if needed..Helmet on the other side under his bolter arm...

Well none the less two quick shots from my Camera Phone...one from the Front and another from the top side to see the base underneath him...and no he is not glued on yet...

Sarpdon Conversion

Ok I had the idea when the Soul Drinkers first Omnibus came out and ripped through it like a hot knife threw butter...but at the time I was happy camper and newly married and had no time for conversions...much less paint any of the models I had glued together at 2am in the morning as my 1 yr old daughter slept...

Fast forward to a few months ago I was reading a blog I go to every now and then and low and behold the man was making a Sarpdon conversion...similar to what I was thinking...only better...haha...

But hey that does not mean no one else can make a conversion of their own...using a similar technique as the other guy I went about doing my own...

Using a Nids body...one of the smaller gaunts I think I cut off some arms from another two and glued them to the body...cut off the head and neck...For the Torso I used a Company Champions Body as well as a helmet less head...as Sarpdon throughout the books would always lead without his helmet on unless the situation demanded it. So I glued on a helmet that I will paint up for if he needs to use it...haha

Quick updates and what not...

First off...what is it...23 days till Christmas...thankfully I had started Christmas shopping for my daughter in August...so I have about half a dozen presents for her...which is a good thing as I have not been able to go back to the office...which sucks as a giant paycheck would be perfect...le sigh on the lack of job...But thankfully I have unemployement which helps pay the bills...

But I have gotten back my Land Raider Crusader...and man am I loving that thing...move 12 inches...fire both Hurrican Bolters and either the multi-melta or assault cannon...but not both of them...or move 6 inches and fire every weapon I have on that thing at two targets...it is great...throw in some assault terminators with a Chaplain and let the power weapons roll...haha

Also on a side note...Some of you may have relized I have a truck load of other 40k Blogs on the right side of my own blog here...if you have one that is not on this list...email me at jokerjr101@yahoo.com with some sort of title in the message about this blog so I won't mark it as spam...and I will be more then happy to add you to the ever growing list...I may be a small blog but every window helps...haha

Last thing

Got in two games last night...both 2k games each...

First one was my Soul Drinkers vs Black Templar...halfway through turn one I relized...holy shit this is a battle of two second foundings of the Imperial Fist right here...I then pointed that out and Steven said...well heck man I am going to be doing a Crimson Fist army soon and the other guy is going to be doing an Imperial Fist army...I said heck yeah...and we got back to the game...

ended up being a tie...would have lost a lot more had the Heibrich and his 10-14 man squad gotten out of their Crusader and ripped into my Soul Drinkers...haha

Second one was against the same guy but we switched armies...He went with his orks and I went with Space Wolves...lets just say the Wolf Scouts with Sniper Rifles paid for themselves as well as Bjorn and the other Venerable Dreadnought...but there was one Mad Doc...and that SOB would not die...his entire squad died...but then would not die himself...then to add insult to injury he joined another squad...luckly he ran out of turns and KP I won 12-6...silly orks thinking they could kill Wolves...haha

I will try to get some pictures of the Crusader later this week and the four rhinos for my Soul Drinkers but now that I have them painted I have a reason to paint up the rest of Soul Drinker army and start on that conversion of the Spider Commander Man guy...thingy...haha...Sharpdon that is it...haha

Gawd...I Love Friday...

Well Friday is here again

HAHA

I know right

I relized something...and I acted...

HAHA...really I did...

I had noticed that my Iron Warriors when I play them against my other Loyalist army versons (Sons of Baal, Soul Drinkers, and Ultra Templar) they come out on top...and I think that is awesome...of course I play the Iron Warriors and my brother ends up playing my armies as his has not yet arrived via a trade from Rogue Market...ehh no worries though...

sooo...In rememberence of this awesome act of wanton destruction and violence...haha

I bring you Warsmith Savarese...hehe he has the same last name as me...I wonder if we are related...haha

HAPPY THANKSGIVING...

no really enjoy that food....cause I know I will...

Had an Idea...

I think I have made a point about this but you know what I got some time to think as I drive down the road not really paying attention to anything in particular...

I relized a 2k list of the 10th company would actually do some real damage

Fluff wise too...

Think about it for a second...

6 - ten man squads of scouts...maxed out 3 with 10 snipers and the other 3 as assault scouts...I think my math came out to be about 850 points...and that I think includes Telion model a power fist in two of those assault squads and Heavy Bolters with Hellfire rounds in the sniper squads...base of 6 troop choices or up to 12 choices...you can barely do that in a 2k game with regular Space Marines...in a 2k game with scouts you still have another 1000 points for DOOOM...haha

OK THEN to the list of awesomeness...fluff wise too...

There would be no terminators...or sternguards...take that out of your mind first off...about the only people in power armour will be the HQ and his guys...but hey if we have the points we can work it in somewhere...haha

HQ:
Captain w/Relic Blade, Storm Shield, Artificer Armour, Grenade Launcher...175 pts

...and yes this is legal as the Relic Blade is not a two handed weapon per-say and you already loose the extra attack in close combat from the SS...thus no harm no foul...the grenade launcher allows him a shot in the shooting phase if he needs it...

Command Squad w/Apothocary, Company Standard, Company Champion, Veteran w/Meltagun, Powersword, Veteran w/Meltagun, Powerfist, Razorback for transport w/Twin-Lascannons...280 pts

Troops:
Scout Squad 1 w/x10 men, x9 Snipers, x10 Camo Cloaks...170 pts
Scout Squad 2 w/x10 men, x9 Snipers, x10 Camo Cloaks...170 pts
Scout Squad 3 w/x9 Men, Telion, x8 Snipers, x9 Camo Cloaks...217 pts
Scout Squad 4 w/x10 men, x5 Shotguns, x5 CCW&Bolt Pistols, x1 Powerfist...165 pts
Scout Squad 5 w/x10 men, x5 Shotguns, x5 CCW&Bolt Pistols, x1 Powerfist...165 pts
Scout Squad 5 w/x10 men, x5 Shotguns, x5 CCW&Bolt Pistols, x1 Powerweapon...155 pts

Elites:
Dreadnought w/Extra Armour, replace CCW w/Twin-Assault Cannon
Dreadnought w/Extra Armour

Heavy Support:
Thunderfire Cannon
Whirlwind
Whirlwind

Scout squads 1-3 will stay ten man squads and leap frog from cover to cover...

Scout squads 4-6 will combat squad out into buildings and ruins for the 3+ cover save...having 6 squads that pin per turn will stop many things...the Whirlwinds and Thunderfire Cannon will take out any hordes and armour as possible...the Captain and his squad will probably run with the Assault Scouts...

But that is 60 scouts right there...haha...and that is the marine horde army...fires like a Imperial Guard army but hits like a Marine Army...haha...now if only I could get them Chimeras...haha

Gawd...I Love Fridays...

Got a few games in earlier this week...at 1am my mind was not working and I was thinking that my Weapon Skill 5 against a Weapon Skill 4 I would need a 3 to hit...IE strenght 5 weapon against well you see where I am going with this...

But it was cool...everything worked out in the end...

Got a new Squad of Iron Warriors

This would bring the total up to 15 Iron Warriors at this point plus the Terminators and Warsmith...

nice little round army for dealing death now...haha...maybe I can finally drop the Land Raider for the 1k army...



Sorry for the bad picture the lighting in my room is not the best in the afternoon...

Gawd...I Love Fridays

HAHA

I know right

another week has gone by...still not found a job yet...that truely does suck a lot...wish I could get back to my old job...

eh...just gives me time to do a campagin with the 40k people I know...seems like it will be fun...

I have fun I swear I do...

I am lucky enough to live 30 or so odd minutes away from not one but two locations where I can play 40k with two different sets of people...

But here is the catch...

Catch one...where I started playing is just my little group of people...8 people tops...nice little group but at times can be as little as 3 people on a given play day...which can suck a bit...

Catch two...the second location has a minimum of 6 people show up...for use of just 2 tables...great I know but rarely do I get a chance to play a 1 on 1 up there...Then to top it all off...the dreaded store rules...Ok I honestly have no issue with Store Rules if they are fun...but they go to the extreme...a basic example is this

Craters...

If there is a crater on the field...I am on the other side of it...farthest point away from you but still on the lip of the crater...but not in the crater...would I not get a cover save anyway...lets say 1 or 2 guys are in the crater...but for the most part I am on the other side of said crater...

Would I not get the cover save from that...I say yes as the lip is sitting right there covering me...most would agree...I mean sure if I am on your side of the crater right there point blank why would I...but other side...yes of course I would...Catch 2 store says this about craters...

"While they may be showing raised on the table itself one must think that since it is a crater it is in the table itself and thus you must be inside the said crater to get said cover save..."

ok last time I checked...even used old war photos...craters went up into the air...just like a crater would in the 40k game itself...what the heck people...really...

While the first store we are much more laid back...yes a few play to win and win alone...but in all honesty we are there for fun and games...a few jokes some laughs...etc...store 2...is all about the books...TO THE EXTREME...MUHAHAHAHAHA type stuff...dont get me wrong rules are great...but jesus man I am a 1/4 from range with rapid fire and I just gave it to you a second ago when you shot at my guys...what do you mean I am still short...fine whatever...say Hi to mr assault cannon...

They have 3 people up there that will move something with their rulers too...yeah that dread is in range of the melta rule of thumb...it is too...no I did not just pull him 1/2 forward to make sure he was in range...



Or my favorite...hide in a fortifyed building with two windows...ok both windows have a heavy weapon guy in it...sure shoot with them...no issues here...wait what do you mean I am in rapid fire range of the 4 other bolter marines up there...it is a window...1 guy...I just did that a few seconds ago from my own building...wait my building is a ruins now...how did that happen...you never shot at it...what do you mean it has been from the begining...wait all of them have been...then how come you get a 3+ cover save...oohhhh... techmarine rule...gotcha...well the only techmarine on your field is my guy and I sure as hell did not do it...



gawd I hate when they change it from a building to a ruin...that one really pisses me off...

Store 2...kinda kills the fun for me...if I am looking for a giant game sure I will head that way...but I wont be expecting much...

Had some free time...

I might be joining a campaign later today...in about 12 hours time...ha ha silly sleep...

Come to find out it is a 2k army list...and I don't normally get past 1500 points in any game unless it is purely for shits and giggles...where upon I just throw in some tester units like my Thunderfire Cannon...which I really do love now...haha...Or even my two Land Speeders I have...nice little unit there...AV10 on both don't help though...ha ha

But none the less I am all for it...even if I don't win...Which I will not...as I play for fun...if I win...heck yeah...if not...darn I learned something new though...but the people I am going to go up against in this campaign of sorts from what I hear are Tourney people...I am going to get trounced...hard...in placed no one has ever entered before...cause well it is exit only...ha ha

But seeing that I am going out with a bang I thought it should be a big bang...and I choose to do a 2k Space Wolf Army...

As follows...

HQ:
Rune Priest w/JoWW, Fury of the Wolf Spirits, Runic Armour, Wolf tooth Necklace

Rune Priest w/JoWW, Living Lightning, Master of the Runes, Terminator Armour, Wolf tooth Necklace, Wolf Tail Talisman,

Optional Wolf Lord w/Terminator Armour, Wolf Claw, Wolf tooth Necklace, Saga of the Beastslayer - For Nids and Nurgle armies

Elites:
Wolf Guard Pack w/x10 Men,
x8 in Terminator Armour, x2 Sets of Wolf Claws, TH/SS, x2 Frost Weapons, Cyclone Missile Launcher, x1 Power Fist, x1 Power fist and Heavy Flamer
x2 in Power Armour, x1 Frost Blade, x1 Power Weapon

Lone Wolf w/Terminator Armour, TH/SS, x2 Fenrisian Wolves

Fast Attack:
Thunderwolf Cavalry w/x3, Mark of Wulfen, Power Weapon, Frost Blade

Heavy Support:
Long Fangs w/x6, x2 Heavy Bolters, x2 Multi-Meltas, x1 Lascannon

Predator Tank w/Side Sponsor Heavy Bolters

Troops:
Grey Hunter Pack w/x9, Flamer, Power Fist, Wolf Standard

Grey Hunter Pack w/x10, x2 Meltagun, Power Weapon

Grey Hunter Pack w/x9, Flamer, Power Weapon

Blood Claw Pack w/x11, Melta, Power fist

-----------------------------

With literally everything on this list I think it comes out to 2165 points...IE the Wolf Lord up there...haha...drop him to make it an even 2k list...

The Wolf Guard will Split up a bit...
The Blood Claws get the Rune Priest with Living Lightning for Guidance...
The Wold Guard w/Cyclone Missile Launcher will go with the Long Fangs after they park their Razorback...
The 2 Wolf Guard in Power armour will attach to the 9 man squads of Grey Hunters
The Wolf Guard w/Power Fist, Heavy Flamer will run with the 10 man squad of Grey Hunters for just pure killing power...
The 6 Wolf Guard Left will run with the Rune Priest in Terminator Armour for a heavy hitting unit...or split into two 3 man squads if the Wolf Lord is in Game...but more then likely the Wolf Lord and Rune Priest will swap out as needed per army I will be facing...

The Lone Wolf will run around and kill stuff and pretty much just be a mini-tar pit as needed...the wolves gives him an extra 2 wounds on top of him and his Feel no pain and Eternal Warrior...which is just sick for 20 points base cost...but mine runs at 105 for all his goodies...if I wanted a bit cheaper I would swap out for a set of Wolf Claws...just wish I could give him a Wolf tooth Necklace...ha ha I would have 3 of these guys running around and no other elite choices...haha...but I am getting off base here...

Long Fangs will probably sit back on the edge and take pot shots with their Heavy Weapons...worse case I might be as far forward as possible...probably in some cover of some sort

Predator Tank will be close by and with that set up be able to pick three different targets...or worse case focus fire on one main target...

The Thunderwolf Cavalry are there for their 12" assault range of DOOOOM...haha...2 power weapons and an insane wulfen should do some damage on the charge...6 Power Weapon hits on the charge, 6 Strenght 6 Power Weapon hits on the charge and D6+1 rending hits on the charge to top it all off...that should hurt something somewhere...ha ha

After this is all said and done this will be my first 2k list without even one Land Raider...or any Rhinos what-so-ever...

Mostly because I have a guy painting up my Crusader and 4 Rhinos in Soul Drinker colors...I need to pick those things up from him...it has been 2 months...and that is kinda sad...as I painted up my Land Raider for my Iron Warriors in what...30-45 minutes...and it does not look half-bad...not going to win an award...but that is not what he was painted for...ha ha

If you guys see where I can fix this list I am more then willing to listen to any and all criticism...

Gawd...I Love Friday...

IT IS FRIDAY AGAIN

got a whole 1k army painted up...and I am priming up my Khorne Guys right now...might be able to get them done by sunday morning to add to my army...haha

Sooo until later...

Did you ever notice...

Did you ever notice that when you first get something you look around...and within a matter or weeks everyone else has one...

My first car was when I noticed this...I hit 15...and was driving my 86 Grand Am...being a year older then my car...it was a grand ol time...but then I noticed other grand ams of the same design...what the heck...

Moving on with life...I got my first brand new car...04 Saturn Ion 1...I was estactic...then everyone else got one...haha...but that one was somewhat explainable...new series of car...great gas milage...plenty of room everywhere in the car...so on and so forth...heck while I was married I made my wife get one of those instead of a Honda...stupid hondas...(I was working at AutoZone at the time and saw enough Hondas at work...)

Newest Vechile is a 94 Jeep Cheerokee...4wd...inline 6 cyclinder...great jeep all around...now everyone has a jeep...but I live in the mountains...soooo nothing new there...

But as a few know I am working on my own Chaos Army...Iron Warriors

and I have hit the 1k Mark with points alone...and as I worked on my painting...which I would say has improved greatly by the way...everyone is doing Iron Warriors now...son of a...

BUT...moving on...

I got a nice round army of DOOOM...and only one Vehicle...haha...and a Land Raider to boot as well...

Army List as follows...WITH PICTURES...haha

HQ:
Chaos Lord w/Power Fist, Combi-Weapon (Warsmith Model)

Elites:
Dreadnought w/Multi-Melta

Terminators w/x5 - 4 being Champions, x2 Power Fist, x2 Combi-Weapons, x1 Reaper Autocannon, x1 Chainfist

Troops:
Chaos Marines w/x5 Marines - 1 being Champion w/Power Weapon, Flamer

Chaos Marines w/x9 Marines - 1 being Champion w/Power Fist

Heavy Support:
Land Raider of DOOOOM...haha

And yes those are Black Templar Doors...and yes I did cut them up a good little bit to desicrate them for the Chaos Gods...silly Loyalist...

AHHH....Finally Painted...

Ok...like my last post said finally got some stuff done...

I have two squads of Chaos Marines five men a peice...one has a flamer in it...and that squad gets the Aspiring Champion with the Power Fist

Squad two is the one with the Power Sword in it and a Combi-Weapon as well for the Champion...

Chaos Lord is the Basic Warsmith Model...but I guess he would have a Powerfist and Combi-Weapon to go with him

Come to find out I dont even break a 300 point mark with this army here...haha

I have a few more Chaos Marine models to paint up...but after that all that is left is the terminators...this army won't even break 750 I am thinking...but hey...there is always time to add to them...haha

Worse case...my Soul Drinkers can take up a few spots and play the part as Chaos Marines as well...haha



Sorry about the flast there...it was either a flash at 2am or a picture like the other 5 man squad is...to dark to really tell...haha...also the Warsmith looks a heck of a lot better in person...

500 pts of Iron Warriors

....ok barely and the 3 terminators are only glued together

BUT...none the less I have 2 squads of Chaos marines at 5 guys a piece...a power weapon in one and a powerfist in the other...

Chaos Lord (IE...Warsmith w/Powerfist (for servo arm) and combi-weapon)

3 Chaos Terminator Champions one with reaper autocannon...and two combi-weapons to boot...

Throw a rhino in there for transport and I got a nice little army...haha

Happy Halloween...

Well just got done from picking up my daughter from her time with her mom for the day...took her to two different trunk-or-treats...and finally got home...FUN TIMES FOR ALL...did I mention I was able to get her to eat a real dinner instead of candy tonight...I am truely an awesome dad I know

haha

She choose to be Cinderlla this year...

Gawd...I Love Fridays

Well tomorrow is Halloween....and I get my daughter this weekend...

HECK YEAH I HAVE TO SAY...

but the gamer in my is sad...as I wont be able to convince anybody at the FLGS to play a zombie game...darn...maybe next weekend...haha...

But on that note of Friday and Halloween at the sametime I leave you with this picture...



I think one of the first things I am going to do when I get my job back fulltime is get this costume for my girlfriend...

Most Awesome Indeed...

What is that you say...WHERE ARE THOSE IRON WARRIORS...

Well it is 3:30 am and my first one is finished on top of my Leman Russ that I have been sitting on since...oh they first came out with the three new guns...haha

Also a few pictures of Saturday's Game of my 2k SM army of Soul Drinkers against a 1k army of Nurgles Finest and another SM player of DOOOOM...haha...silly loyalist...

This is a Picture of my Chapter Master running with who is left after 3 squads I slaughtered...I lost two men out of the squad but I killed more then enough of their men...and after this picture was taken I took out two more squads...The Chapter Master was getting pissed...he never got to hit a thing...the multiple Twin-Lightning Claws on the charge killed a lot of stuff...

I MEAN A LOT OF STUFF...



At one point I had a 10 man tact squad get charged by a 7 man nurgle squad...I went whole sale slaughter on him...after he attacked I threw my 11 attacks back at his toughness 5 and said...there take your 6 hits back...well he killed 4 right there...haha it was sad...but he was fearless so I did not get to sweep him off the board right there...which ment I spent two more turns on 2 guys...it was sad to finally finish him off and have no one left to attack...haha



Towards another spot I ran into every other nurgle guy there was in reach...plus the deamon prince...so more or less threw guys into the grinder...and boy did I die by the droves...luckly they were all combat squads and I would only loose a guy or two per squad per round...so leadership tests were a bit easy...



But my Cassius Model made a big difference against that Deamon Prince...Sternguard all died but the Sergeant on the first turn...and then he never got to hit anything...should have used him on the Deamon Prince as I used him on a squad of plauges and killed the last 3 guys on the charge...haha...

-----------------------------------

Also here is the first of the Iron Warriors







Soooo...tell me what is up...do you like it...

he is the test model so you should know I am reprime him black and start over...haha

SON OF A...

I am going to stab my little brother

he comes home for a day over the weekend...while I am out gaming...by the way...eats dinner

then goes back to college...completely missing me and my multiple games of 40k...which is actually in the same city he goes to college in...pfft whatever...

so I come home head up to the room...get my paint bag out of my...OH MY GAWD THE LITTLE SOB TOOK ALL MY PAINTS...

which means all I have are black legion guys without the yellow...haha

Gawd...I Love Fridays...

And on that note...

Iron Warriors...Are Really Black..

and by Black I mean

well exactly like I said

Black...Primed and ready to recieve the first coat of silver...hopefully over the weekend...



The other guys got hit with the Black Primer as well...and should hopefully hit up atleast one or two by sunday night

man I am really loving this new phone I have...takes great Macro Photos...no fuss...it is great...

Ok that was neat...

I was scanning along the internet and over the pond the GW site will sometimes get stuff before the US verson will...somewhat disappointing I know but still...maybe tomorrow or next week the US verson will get this link too

Remember that Diahroma of the Nids attacking a Base full of Space Wolves

here is the close up pictures and how they did all that fun...

HOLY MOTHER OF PERAL THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME...

Wow...this sucks...

I was thinking that since I had so much free time on my hands until the next batch of client stuff comes in I could paint up my 500 point army of Iron Warriors here at the office...

came into day...took care of the paper work like usually...boss gets back from his vacations...

I am now layed off...

which means I still have time to paint up my Iron Warriors

haha

also a good thing I did not get that house then huh...haha

OK...I did it I know...Bad Ben...Bad...

I went into my local FLGS Friday after work before I picked up my daughter from school...stopped in to pick up a few paints to paint up my 500 point Chaos Iron Warrior guys...no problem right

got my paints completely ignoring the two people hovering over the boxes of models...get the to the register...owner and I joke around for a few minutes and says that he got the new Space Wolf Battleforce in only an hour or so before I got in...so I walk over those two both have a SW battleforce in their hands a piece...so I ask to see one of them...one looks at me as if I were Horus and I just asked to come into the Emperors Palace for a cup of tea...the other was more then happy to let me look it over...

two seconds later I walk to the register box in hand...

BAD BEN BAD...

haha

Gawd...I Love Friday...

HAHA

BET YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT DIDN'T YOU....

WELL

you would be right

I did...got busy at work...then left and picked up my daughter and came home...and I am soooo tired...

sooo

here is Fridays most awesome babe...



Yeah I bet you would get it on with a Purple skin babe too...

Death to the well...everyone but me...

HAHA...had a blast over the weekend...and even got to play a game Tuesday night...

First off...

Thunderfire Cannon is my new best friend for 100 points in a game that has, IG, Tau, Orks, anything that has a truck load of people in it...

I used that on my first game Saturday...took out half a squad of IG guys...then the Cannon was hit by half a dozen long distance shots from that same IG guy...I still say he did not have line of sight...why you ask...I was behind a wall...literally...but whatever...Techmarine walked away and torn into his team mate with his servo-harness and took out a Necron Lord...it was very nice to watch that...

Played a few other games with the Thunderfire Cannon that day...very useful...as well as my two Land Speeders...great for a distraction...I just need to figure out the best weapon combo...I went with Heavy Bolter, Heavy Flamer or Mulit-Melta...but the first game saw them destroy a whole tact squad of Space Marines the second game saw them blown up after a turn of shooting...all the other people on the other team (3 vs 3 game) used every shot they had to take them down...that was a lot of shots let me tell you...and they never blew up either...ended up having one with a Heavy Bolter sit there taking pot shots at everything around it each turn...

Which means Land Speeders are a hit or miss really in my SM army...

Sundays games saw me bring out my Land Raider Redeemer...(which was really a Land Raider...but I proxied it as a Redeemer...) and let me just say...that Strenght6 AP3 Flamer really roast some orks...I threw in some Assault Terminators with Twin Lightning Claws and a guy with TH/SS plus a Chaplain in Terminator Armour and they took out a whole squad of Tank Bustas...and Lootas...it was a truely magical experience...

Second Game on Sunday saw me just form gun lines and rip into well nothing really...I got stuck with a guy on my team who cannot make an army list to save his life...he had 750 points to use...he ended up with a Sential...Valkarie...2 Veteran Troop squads...his cheap HQ...and that was it...is that 750 points...no...because nothing was maxed out...nothing...

ehh no worries...I threw my guys at a squad of Khorne Besekers...they killed the guys as they died...it was great...snipers took out the Khorne guys that survived...only for them to die before the Sternguard could get to their help...only for the sternguard to die before the IG guy was able to well...do anything...haha

that game was a screw around game...40k in 30 minutes really...

Everyone had a plan of letting the IG guy win...and he did...HE KICKED BUTT...because people kept disappearing from squads...don't know how that happened...haha

Tuesdays 4k game of 2 on 2...1k a piece was a bit more fun...I played SM with Cassius and a Grey Knight Grandmaster with Terminators in my Redeemer...Sternguard, scouts, and tact guys...my team mate had Witchhunters I think...we lost...but barely...Sternguard took out a Deamon Prince with Rapid Fire poisioned rounds that wound on a +2...hit on a 3 wound on a 2...it was great...sternguard died before some Emperors Children though...that was not cool...haha

all in all...I would say I got 4 wins 1 Draw and 1 Loss...that was a great time...

Iron Warriors Warsmith Has Arrived...

And truely it is an awesome model...Now I will be honest...I hate metal models...the only one I do not hate is my Terminator Chaplain I painted up many a years ago...haha I know right

But I am sitting on another Terminator Chaplain that only the head has been painted up...as well as 3 Techmarines - one old school one, one Thunderfire Cannon one, and the one from the pack with Servitors...All I need now is the special order one and I would have every Techmarine there is...haha...I am close to that on the Chaplains as well...all I need is the one with the Jump Pack and the one with the Bike...(but I already used one chaplain as my jump chaplain...)

Getting off course though...my bad...haha

Honestly I am looking forward to playing Chaos Iron Warriors...as of right now everyone I play with would have no problem with me fielding IG tanks and the such as long as I pay the proper price no half off discounts of stuff...haha...Like for example that IG tank that puts up to 29 shots a round...20 from the main guy then the two sponsers and the front mounted turret gun to boot...that would be what I would field...29 shots per turn on top of my Chaos Marines running forward...sick I know...

But that is a few months off at the closest window to get those tanks and add them to my chaos army...

But seeing that I am rambling off here I will post a picture of the unpainted Warsmith...I guess his loadout will be a Power Fist, Combi-Bolter (melta of course) and toss him with a squad of Iron Warriors that need to be primed and painted...by himself he comes to 125...same price as Cassius...just minus the Toughness 6...now that would be sick...

Iron Within, Iron Without

Well all but my Warsmith is completed on my Chaos Army of Iron Warriors...

and when I say Completed I mean just glued together...haha

HQ:

Warsmith: Combi-Bolter, Power Fist
Pts: 125

Troops:

Iron Warriors x8: w/Flamer, Aspiring Champion w/Power Sword
pts: 155

Iron Warriors x9: w/Melta, Aspiring Champion w/Power Fist
pts: 185


This puts me at 470...I add in two more guys and I have a 500 point Iron Warriors Army...

The Entire Warband minus of course the Warsmith as he has yet to arrive from Gameworkshop...





This little sword here is actually something I wanted to try...I cut the sharp pointy tip off the sword itself and used a well clear triangle piece of hard plastic from a CD container and glued it on there...I am thinking I leave the clear plastic alone and paint up the rest of the sword and see where is goes from there...

If I want to push past the 500 point mark all I would need to do is just add my 1k Sons squad in with a Rhino and give my guy with the cool sword a combi-melta like he has in the picture...and go from there...it would be neat...at 1k worth of points I add in a Khorne Squad without rhino but 12 guys altogether...1250...I add a land raider...haha of DOOOOM


Also this is post 100...wow...I can't believe I am still doing this...haha

Gawd...I Love Friday

Ok I got a question...maybe you can answer it...

When you wife is this hot right here



Would you really want to share her or even touch another woman...

Me...Personally no...I would most likely be home every day early from work just to be home with this hottie...but some guys are just morons...eh...his loss...

Our gain of well...nothing really...haha

See you guys in the next post about my Iron Warrior Warband I am starting...

Those Pictures I promised...

Ok I don't know what happened...these are some of the worse pictures I have ever taken

but hey I got you something at least this time

haha

These are the high points of my models though I won't lie...each one of them has the same chalice on their shoulder pad...Cause you know being Soul Drinkers and all...haha



Except for this guy...if you know about the Black Templar and Crimson Fist Chapters you know at one time the two joined forces in an ad-hoc fashion to fight an enemy...and yes they did win...

But think about it...the Soul Drinkers are suppose to be a Second Founding just like those two...flat out end of story...except their entire record has been deleted...so what if they were there as well...would they not have had done the samething with their armour...I have two other guys with a knee pad painted but this one stands out the most...one shoulder pad is a Black Templar Shoulder Pad...and painted as such the other is a stipped Shoulder Pad with Crimson Fist Red, Soul Drinkers Purple, and Black Templars well black...haha



This one that you can barely see is the Chalice and DORN written over the top of that...



Also some very badly taken photos of my Mordhiem army of Beastmen of Chaos...haha



I am going to redo these pictures after I watch a few of those..."HOW TO TAKE A FREAKIN PHOTO YOU STUPID MORON" lessons on You Tube or something...because it seems I am a bit of a tard tonight...haha
