Undead Legions vs Skaven End Times Game

I got to play my Undead Legions army against Skaven this afternoon in and End Times game. We played with the new magic rules from Khaine and it really changed the feel of the game. It added a lot of time to get through the spells, but was also a lot of fun. I don’t see using them every game, but they offered a fun variant. I managed to summon about 1000 points of models and then he would remove them in his magic phase, but it was cool to drop a Terrorgheist in the middle of the table to threaten his army. I had a blast and can’t wait to get the army repaired and start painting it up a bit better.

First model of the new year

It’s been quiet here for a while as due to some health problems I’ve been unable to paint. Late last year I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and started treatment. It’s made hobby time scarce and my hands shake a lot now making painting hard. I did finally manage to build this Terrorgheist and I absolutely love it. One of my favorite models that GW has ever produced.



Ogre Kingdoms – Mournfang Cavalry

My first models done for the new Ogre Kingdoms fantasy army I’m building. I haven’t done the bases yet, as I’m still deciding on what exactly I want to do for that. They are painted up pretty basically, but it kind of took forever because of how large the models are and there is a suprising amount of detail. Still need to go do some more detail work, but my hope is to build the army out quickly to a tabletop standard and then go back and do some freehand and make the details pop a little more.




Lizardmen Terradon Riders WIP

I got a box of Terradon/Ripperdacytl riders for Christmas this year and managed to put them together and start painting.  I still need to do some detail work and finish up the base, but I love how striking they are.  I will have to eventually pick up another box and do the Ripperdacytls just to paint something similar up.

I promise I’m still here. Went through a bit of a hobby slump, but I’ve started painting again and here’s my work in progress for the general for my Lizardmen.

Bastiladon Base

I’ve made a base for the Bastiladon while testing some new materials and trying something different. I got the inspiration from James Wappel’s blog. Mine are nowhere near the quality of the stuff he works on, but considering he’s a professional I’m pretty happy with how mine turned out. I will be making a few changes in future bases, but I’m going to go with this general style.

Saurus Warriors

Finished up the first block of Saurus Warriors. I want to do another 20 to give me the options of running two blocks or one big block of 40. The next block I will build with hand-weapon and shield rather than the spears.

First game of WFB with Lizardmen

I played two games today for our WFB Escalation League.  They were both against Wood Elves and were at 800 points.  I really enjoyed the game and it took some time to change my mindset away from 40k as that has been what I have been playing lately.  Here were my lists for the two games:

1st Game:

Hero: Skink Priest with Level 2

Core: 20x Saurus Warriors with full command and spears

Core: 12x Skink Skirmishers with Javelins

Special: Bastiladon with Solar Engine

Special: Stegadon

2nd Game:

Same as above, but dropping the stegadon, 2 skirmishers, and musician.  Adding in 8 Cold One Riders.

I managed to win both games, but took a real beating when Dweller’s Bellow went off on my Saurus block and in the second game on the Cold ones. The Bastiladon is absolutely pants in close combat, but is a decent support unit and managed to do some good damage with the Solar Engine. The Stegadon was nasty and really pushed combat in my favor.  The skirmishers did great in both games, getting wiped out in each, but managing to do some good damage with their poison shots. The Saurus block was kind of slow and took a lot of fire and when they finally got in combat kind of whiffed it not rolling a single 6 for predatory fire with 16 attacks. Overall it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the feel of the army.
