What fun it is to laugh and sing a slaying song tonight!

Get it?!  Slaying? Druchii-humor.  Good stuff.

Well I finally did it. I finished my 10 warriors. It only took me a couple hours, and was no big deal. I think they look pretty good. I don't have any pics because Tamara is off to Brazil this week for Dell.

I figure that this week I'll finish the last 10 warriors. With Tamara gone, I'll probably have a bit on my time on my hands. I think I'm getting jazzed up to finish the Dwarfs (or at least jazzed up to be on to something different).

So I didn't make my goal this week. I didn't quite finish up my 10 warriors. I'm close, but I still have to do their bases, do a black wash, and then paint in the horns of their helmets.

I think I'm getting a bit burned out of painting the dwarfs. I didn't do any painting Monday or Tuesday, then went out to play D&D with some guys from work on Wednesday. But I think the main reason I wasn't able to finish my Dwarfs this week was the fact that the site looks like ass. :)

Know the Dark Rider.

Dark Rider is a little higher.
Dark Rider rides a little slower
Dark Rider is a real goer.

Sure it's just one model, but with several hundred fists. And an entire army book full of special rules.

Anyone else think power creep is getting out of hand NOW?

Slann Mage-Priest : Lord - General - Battle Standard Bearer
Power Stone - Once per battle, adds 2 dice to a casting roll.
Power Stone - Once per battle, adds 2 dice to a casting roll.
Cupped Hands of the Old One - One use only; If the bearer miscasts an enemy wizard within line of sight will suffer the effects (ignoring 5-6) on a 2+.
The Focused Rumination - The Mage-Priest adds one "free" power die to each spell cast
Focus of Mystery - The Mage-Priest knows every spell from one lore
Sun Standard of Chotec - Missiles fired at the unit suffer -1 to hit, -2 if fired within 12"

Okay so this weekend I created my warlord on a stick.. er.. on a war-litter.. All in all I think it came out nicely.. I used bitz and pieces from all over the place and gave it a rather slapdash paint job. As with my other paint jobs I will dip this one and it will bring out the details.. or if nothing else, hide the mess..

Here's the pre-dip picture.. I'll put the post dip picture up here in a day or two when I actually have the dip done..

Page 1: Blah blah blah...
Page 472: The Wolves Attack.
Page 556: The End.

I think Graham McNeill has the same problem that Dan Abnett has developed. They're both really friggin wordy. I know that this book and and Prospero Burns are supposed to go together, and I'm hoping that PB will deal a bit more with the actual combat, but after 470+ pages, I was hoping that there would be a bit more combat in the book.

Again, just like Abnett, there were a lot of sub plots that were just there...

Blah. 3 out of 5.

I think they came out pretty good.

The latest and greatest Druchii List. Comments welcome (Not that I plan on taking advice from a bunch of humans and mutant slaves)

High Sorceress
1 Supreme Sorceress (Druchii Sorcery; General; Level 4 Upgrade; Hand Weapon; Eternal Hatred)
1 Cold One (Thick-skinned; Causes Fear; Stupid)
1 Black Staff
1 Pendant of Khaeleth
1 1. Dark Hand of Death
1 2. Steal Soul
1 3. Wind of Death
1 4. Walking Death
1 5. Doom and Darkness!
1 6. Drain Life
1 0. Power of Darkness

So I'm very much not a fan of the GW Dark Elf Dark Riders. So I really don't like the idea of paying $12 a model for models I don't even like. So I pondered and came up with a kitbash that seems promising.

Thoughts?

Bolt Thrower #2 done!

Well now that I can walk without  being hunched over like an old man, I figured I'd post an update.

I worked my ass off (or perhaps I should say my back off) this week, and I am pretty sure sitting at my desk hunched over for a minimum of 4 hours each day is what did my back in. The 8 hours I spent on Friday was probably the nail in the coffin, but I finished up the Hammerers.

HQ
Runepriest: (Living Lightning, Murderous Hurricane), Wolftooth Necklace, Wolf Tail Talisman, Meltabomb, BP, Force Staff

Elite
Wolf Guard x 3: PFx2, Mark of the Wulfen

So I got a bit behind. I let the gyrocopter lapse. I figured there would be time enough over spring break while my mom was here. I was planning to finish the gyrocopter and 20 Hammerers last week.

Then I got sick.

EDIT: So it's not enough to have a Slaan, I have to field more Temple Guard as well. What I was thinking of doing is making the Temple Guard unit 6 models wide, which would put the Slaan in the exact middle and would give me a total of 19 Temple Guard (Which I have, just need to paint 6 more). If I field any more than that, not only do I have to buy more models, I also will have to drop other units that I really like, which sorta takes the fun out of the game. So here it is:

Coming soon to a battlefield near you....

I am buying John's Warriors of Chaos off of him and will be going for a Khorne list, since everyone believes this will suit my tactics. Heres a list with what I have:

General:
Khorne Lord - WS8/St6/To5/In7/At6/Sv1+
Demonic Mount
Axe of Khorne
Enchanted Shield
Collar of Khorne -Magic Resist (2)
Favor of the Gods
