Knights

Just trying out the iPhone blogger app. Here's the few things I did today.

Yes that's it. I assembled some knights....

Demigryph.

Finished a Demigryph yesterday. Yes one..... There is so much to them. I can just do the speed paint job my R&F usualy get.

Base needs a little work, but its not varnished yet. I'll add static grass ect later.

New Empire - New toys.

So unless youve been sleeping under a rock. Or just dont bother much with GW these days then you'll probably know that this....

Hit the shelves today. Yes its the new 8th Ed Empire book. Now Ive had many many armies over the years but Empire are the only one I have ever kept hold too. Hell untill about  3 weeks ago they were my only fully painted army....ever! This is also the first army Ive had to get a new book released. I usualy jump on the band wagon then sell up as n when Im bored.

Yorkshire Opens 2012 Finals - Results.

So its over for another year, and its nearly time for me to start another army project.

First off, just want to mention how great the Wakefield Warriors home turf is. Fantastic venue and awesome terrain and boards. Its actualy quicker fore me to drive to aswell, so you may see me popping over to it more often.

Army shot.

Lets get to the nitty gritty eh.

I wanted to do some converting - My Swarmlord

So I built my Swarmlord model.

He's ment to look like he's leaping through the wall of the building. It still needs work, but what do you guys think of the pose so far? Its all pinned / tac'ed at the mo, so its adjustable.

Im considering pinning an ultramarine on the base too, shooting at him as he leaps through.

Little bit of WiP.

Erm as above..... Got this new kit the otherday and spent last night getting these legs done.

Heirotitan conversion

Finaly found a use for my 'nids! Heres my mock up of a Heirotitan.



Needs a staff, some scales and a little greenstuff work. But otherwise, what do you guys think of it.

Pose ok?
What do you think of the 'wings'? 
Size?  It does slightly spill over a chariot base. I may move it to a screaming bell sized one.

Blood in the Badlands - March

This is my Vs Jon. Rolled Blood n Glory. Two magic heavy forces faced off. 

 Anuk-su-namun and her archers got ground into the dirt by a charging ogre bull deathstar. So badly was she disfigured that she will walk with a slight limp for a while and is now -1M. Her unit was utterly destroyed, it will take many months of incantations and rituals to restore them so they are out of action next game too.

 

Proving they are not quiet as dim whitted as they appear the charging ogre unit appeared to of learnt from that battle. They are now a RoR and have devistating charge! His wizard on the other hand wasnt so lucky. He spent many many turns trying to death snipe my Heirophant, to remove its wizard levels, and just be a bit of a git. The butcher however fled from dying his unit, was eventualy caught and then devoured whole by a Warsphinx, who was then promptly blown to pieces by the cannon upon the Ironblaster. Suffice to say, the butcher is very much dead..... 

Awesome game, love the way how its played out. The rolls for the end of game results just appear to exactly fit what happened too. Awesome stuff! :D

So my army retreats back towards it capital.....

Blood in the Badlands 2012 - Overview

Im running a BitB campaign with a few mates, and decided to video report the games I play. But first a little background about my 3 campaign armies and their leaders


General

Pharaoh Seti I - The Tomb King of Hamunaptra. Murdered when alive by his vizier, and now his second in command.... Liche High Priest Imhotep. He wandered into the Bandlands looking for an ancient power that was stolen from him many many milenia ago. A relic so powerful it could reverse the Curse of Nagash and return him, and his people to life. The Book of the Dead.


Lieutenants

Mathayus - Also a Tomb King of Hamanaptra. Bested in combat by Pharoah Seti I, but now stands beside him as his right hand man.

Anck-su-Namun - A Liche High Priest and Seti's mistress. All other men are forbidden to touch her - those that do will suffer the curse of Hom Dai. If someone trangresses this law his tongue is cut out, and he is buried alive with a swarm of flesh-eating scarabs.

Heroes of Legend

Imhotep - A Liche high priest.  Doomed forever after falling inlove with Anck- su-Namun and thus suffering the curse of Hom Dai as punishment. Brought to life by the Curse of Nagash, he plots his revenge. To kill Seti and take the Book of the Dead for himself.

Video Batrep - Tomb Kings Vs Warriors of Chaos

I fun game I had with Niel the other night.

Just to point out, I play warhammer using the full rules when I am  at home. So D6 + 4 pieces of terrain. All rolled for on the chart. This game we rolled 10, and as you can see, Neil isn't used to it
