Liche Priest

Last night I decided to do my Heriophant. Please ignore the base, the whole units will get done together at the end.

Have a great new year guys! See you all in 2012!

Video batrep - Skaven Vs Tomb Kings.

For Christmas this year  I received a lovely little Kodak Mini camcorder. At first I was kind of stuck for things to do with it. Then a friend pointed out I could do a video battle report of the game we we're about to have..

Here's the result.  Its 2000pt game, we rolled for terrain and the scenario (Blood and Glory) before I started filming. I apologise for the lack of models and paint on my part. I'm still building the Tomb king force ready for an event in  about a month.

Return to the Vampire Coast

First a little background. Return to the Vampire coast is a campaign style weekend event at Maelstrom Games run by these guys. Not all armys are represented but there is a campagn pack explained what is and isnt alowd. You may even have access to brand new units. This can and does usualy mean your army/enemys force wont play exactly how your used too.
Now a few of you will remember my chaos troll army wich I took to another of their campaigns back in the spring. If not, heres an image or two to prompt your memorys.

A general army shot whilst out on display after being nominated for best painted.

Im on a roll!

I know another post! Here's an Agoniser. He's a little 'blue~er' then I wanted, but I like it.

Im realy enjoying Warmachine / Hordes at the mo. Expect to see more

I painted something!

Erm... exactly what it say's on the tin.  All constructive critisim is more then welcome.

So my first attempt at a Skorne model. A void spirit.

for some reason it looks darker with the white backdrop. This is the same model, same place. (All I did was put a piece of paper behind it)

and it looks alot lighter.

AGoM VII

Just under a month till the next AGoM, and I've still to decide what I'm going to take. Its down to 3 possible choices.

Option 1 - Daemons
Pretty much the standard fair at this point size. 2 Hordes of 30 'letters with 2 units of 5 flamers. A HoT and a HoK as my BSB. 
Hits like a truck and wrecks face. Problem is its very one dimensional, and a bit too good. I'll end up near the top tables and get my arse handed to me. Its probably a nomination for most cheesy too.

Option 2 - High Elves.
This is fairly text book. Its a level 4 with the Book of Hoeth and a BSB both in a unit of 30 Sea guard. 18 White lions and 5 Dragon Prices with the SoS. Oh and an Eagle.
This force is all about the mage. The choice of lore would be crucial but shadow would probably win out. If the SG block gets to combat the AM is dead. Giving up over 400 Vps! The army is a bit less powerful then the Daemons but still has a good chance to wreck face and not be deemed as cheesy.

Option 3 - Empire
This is what Ive take to the past 2 AGoMs. A standard WAlter and STank combo backed up by a large swordsmen unit and a level 2 life mage. People have gotten wise to the STank getting healed no so that's no longer affective. That and the lore of Shadow being a fairly common choice makes it a big 300 point gamble. On the positive though. I can use this as my backup in case I don't get the other 2 painted.

So thoughts, which would you take?

Project Dorf - Slayer bases

Works started on the Slayer bases. For those that asked this first shot is the  AoW plastic slayer next top a GW miner. As you can see they are pretty much the same size.




Heres the base.



Work in progress. Learnt things from the miners base, no crappy plasti covering every tile. You need to be able to see the bases for templates. Also left the front middle 4 bases plain so I can swap about FC with characters and not destroy the look.

Storm of Magic

Storms of Magic is the latest Warhammer Expansion, enabling battles to be fought amidst devastating magical events as wizards unleash cataclysmic spells and titanic monsters clash in earth-shattering battles.
Storms of magic are epoch-shattering events that unleash terrible and all-powerful arcane energies, unbridled power that allows wizards to shackle titanic beasts to their dominion, or deny their enemies mystical forces that could destroy whole nations in one huge spell.

So the buzz is all over the place at the moment. Storm of Magic is comming, and I'll admit it. I cant wait! I a big big fan of 8th Ed Warhammer and anything that can mix it up a little is welcome.

Youll be seeing more SoM stuff in the future so keep checking back
