Orcs and Goblins: Squig Project

Squigs on the Horizon

A Large addition to my orcs and goblins with the add on of 44 squigs.  Now I am able to have a herd of 60 squigs and a lot more herders.  However, more herders are needed if they are ever divided into 2 units.  The new unit has raised cork bases and more layering then before.  Also they squigs are painted in 4 sets of 11 whereas my squigs before were all different colors, so a little more unique.

 My end goal is going to be making a whole army of squigs and I am well on my way there since I have manglers already done and all my core painted.  I don't think this will be that good of a performance army but squigs are nothing to sneeze at either.

Regiment of Renown Tournament

and

Demonic Warrior Update!

Well we concluded our first Regiment of Renown Tournament and got our first taste of rules.  I am including into this my update for my Regiment: Demonic Warriors and a some tournament pictures.  In my new list I changed a couple things mainly turning my Nurgle warriors into Khorne warriors. We played 4 games in 3 hours and the first three went very fast.  The fourth game took about 45 minutes and was amusing.  We went 1 on 1 for three rounds and some games ended on turn 2 or 3 because of models being lost, being slaughtered, or panic checks failing when armies reached half models lost.  I do have to add that  the armies Leader was a very important battle.  The leader himself gained abilities every round after each game and also had 20 points in free magic items.  Needless to say when you add Strength, Initiative etc characters became tough.

Warriors Project: Chaos Sorcerer on Disc

Tzeench Sorcerer on Disc

 

This sorcerer was envisioned when I saw one of the mantle's from Storm of Magic.  It inspired me to convert the current disc rider I had into a monstrous disc rider.  Since bigger is better I went for it and got the terrain piece from bartertown.com.  Added some 40k spikes, hull ship piece, and presto.  Also, the rider is heavily green stuffed with flames, a whip from a chariot rider, shield from a chaos knight, and Demon Prince spikes and head.

Iggefest 2013

IggeFest 2013 - Decatur, Illinois

 

Well after a long day of playing games Sunday in Decatur for the International Amigofest I may as well post here osme interesting things that happened. I took my WoC list at 2,000 points.

I took Demon Prince(nurgle), Dragon Ogress, Chimera, 17 Warriors, 4x5 Chaos Hounds, 6 Nurgle Chaos Ogres, 6 Chaos Trolls, and 3 Skullcrushers.

Game 1 Turn 3 vs. Dave Dickey

Game 1 went against David Dickey from Springfield. He took a Chaos Demon list with lots of compact blocks. He had a worked up Bloodthirster, 5 Skullcrushers, 40 bloodletters and 2 skullcannons. I lost to this but not without a fight. I did manage to kill his skullcrushers and 1 skullcannon but not before his Bloodthirsters wrecked havoc and finally hunted down my own skullcrushers. His greater +d3 stat item and multi-wound weapon did 16 wounds in 1 round to the SK.

Game 2 Ryan Goleman, deployment turn 1

Game 2 went to Ryan goleman from Springfield who brought ogres. A double giant list with 8 bulls, 8 guts, bsb, Slaughter master, and 4 mournfangs. The DP held up a giant and bulls for 3 rounds of combat while I fed the guts hounds and worked my way around them eventually flank charging several units. A win for the Warriors.



Game 3 Ryan Goleman's Ogre Kingdoms

Game 3 Turn 3 versus Igge From Finland.

Game 3 went to Igge himself, a chap from Europe who travel sto Illinois every so often. I went right for the kill with all my fast moving units marching right up front. Igge did get the first turn and shoot/flee my chimera because of bad placement but the DP ate up warmachines and dwarf gunman turn 2-4. Lots of action in the center of his deployment. Great time and won best painted out of 12 armies. Had a great time and can't wait until next year.

WoC Army Project: Chimeras

Demonic Warriors



3 chimeras GW's standard stock model in front with no alterations




Overhead shot of the same pose as above





Each of the IoB gryphons have the standard chimera head added on to the side, and a Manticore head mounted other the other.  Each of the IoB gryphon's also had a paw added to the respective Manticore half to resemble a more split monster.  One of the Gryphon has a added Dragon tail making the model double in length.  If I had two I would have added two.  The last and final piece is the fur.  The fur is a combination of two dozen fur patches and plastic manticore mane fur chopped up, glued and individually placed to fill holes.  The monsters were based and painted with the same layering technique as the rest of the army.

Warriors of Chaos: BSB on Foot

Recently at Invasion of Kenosha I won an Avatars of War figure.Kurz´Gan the Corrupted Scion

Found here: http://www.avatars-of-war.com/eng/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&prodcode=54&prodname=Kurz´Gan+the+Corrupted+Scion&id=118&Itemid=120

 

I have since converted and painted him for my current BSB on Foot.  I used my traditional cork base, multiple layering with washes and hand painted a banner(tried).
