Giant

Greetings,

  I have been re-painting my Ogres and I went on a bit of a painting bender over Thursday and Friday and I decided to re-paint my giant. I've added a number of tattoos, cuts and bruises Hopefully he can fit in with my Orc and Gobbo army as well as my Ogre one.

  The photos are a bit off, but the lighting in my room is not too good at stupid o'clock in the morning.

Gobbo test models.

Greetings,

Here are the first few Gobbos that I have finished at the moment.

I'm liking how they have come out. They look good with the other spiders that I have already done.

Goblins....

 Greetings,

Now for the arachnophobes out there, sorry for no prior warning. Here is my recent collection of gribbly thingys.

I have two of the big spiders and 40 spider cavalry. Since I am having all of my  without any Goblins on them I have got 40 Forest Goblin infantry from the Spider Riders, and 18 Forest Goblins from the two Arachnarok. 

So at the moment I have 2 Arachnarok (one Lord, one Rare), 40 Spider Riders, 2 Rock Lobbers, 50 Forest Goblin infantry including a BSB, 2 Shamen and an extra Goblin Hero. I can make about 2500pts with them.

Oh and regarding my last post with the weird photo orientation, my camera croaked. Died. Kaput. Defunct. Buggered. This was taken with my new camera. I'll take new ones of the piggies later.

No Photos as of yet, but an update!

Greetings,

I apologise, again, for the lack of posts. I have been hellishly busy though.

I have fully painted another 5 PanO. I have painted 3 Knights, a Medic and a Bagh Mari. I am still using a similar scheme to my three prior models. I am going to have a unified colour scheme throughout all of the models, even if they are from different Military Orders. I am likely to be taking Teutonic Knights and Magister Knights instead of the other Orders as they are more flexible and with the Teutons not having Cubes they are less likely to be Sepsitored.

I have painted some of my Retribution, 2 Battle Mages. I like the red and orange scheme complimented by the purple.

I also managed to paint Brine and a second War Hog for my Farrow. I’m not sure about the weapon colours for the War Hog. They are too dark compared to the haft and the rest of the metal of the cleavers. Brine looks good in comparison, but I’m not a fan of bits of the model. The chains on the wrists and the single trotter that the entire model is balancing upon are my main issues.

I have started a Goblin all-spider army. I am looking at 4 units of Spider Riders, a flinger Arachnarok, Goblin Shaman Lord on Arachnarok, BSB on a Giant Spider and three Goblin Big Bosses on Giant Spiders. I still have 146pts to spend on magic items, which is going to be interesting. I am slightly annoyed at the fact that I can’t take Goblin Shamans on spiders, apart from the HUGE ones.

Blood Bowl

Greetings,

After posting the Dark Elves up before Christmas I thought they they would have been finished before the New Year. Unfortunately I was hit by something horrible. I got hit by apathy. The Dark Eldar models are the main issue for this I think. They are really intricately detailed and for myself, who is not one for a lot of intricate painting is the main issues with them I think.

So running under the old axiom of 'a change is as good as a rest,' I have managed to build two more Blood bowl teams in the past two weeks.

The first team that I built was a Goblin team. I purchased a pair of metal Stone Trolls, a Fanatic plastic box and I went halves with a box of Night Goblins with one of the other gamers at Orctown. This gave me 2 Trolls, 10 Goblins, a Fanatic, a Looney (with a chainsaw on a chain....), a Pogoer (not on a pogo stick, but attached to a bounding squig) and a Bombadier. This is a good selection of Goblin grunts and positionals for a Goblin team.

The other team is Norse. I bought a box of Chaos Marauders and an Ogre Kingdom Yhetee. This gives me 8 or 10 Linemen, 8 or 10 positionals and a Yeti.

I got the Goblin team, just because. A team full of potential but also full of goo. I had a game with them on Sunday against a Lizardmen team being played by a Korean newbie. I scored first, then got 3 smashed in against my by Skinks. There were no casualties on either side, which was, strange, but they were a lot of fun. I need to check their rules a bit more though.

I haven't played the Norse on the table yet. I have played them a lot on the Blood Bowl game on the PC and they are really good. Then again I did start playing Ogres to start with...

Hopefully I will be able to get these guys fully painted soon. Hopefully before Sunday.

In other news, since I have been having sooo much fun pummelling the hell out of people in the Blood Bowl PC game I decided to get together all of the Blood Bowl gamers who go to Orctown and play as many games of Blood Bowl as possible. On Sunday, not only did we get 8 games played on two pitches, we also got some of the Koreans joining in as well. Something that they have talked about doing, but never done in the year that the game was available to buy at Orctown.

Due to the sheer joy of the carnage the remaining Sundays in January are going to be for the Korea Cup. Pretty much run as a basic League for Blood Bowl. Each player must play someone different in the League. The two players with the best 3 scores go into a final game for the imaginary cup. It has been so much fun and there are more people saying that they want in as well. If it goes really well I may try to get people to get teams sorted for a Summer tourney.

Anyway, I'll leave you be with my mindless ramblings.

Chat anon.
