Jacob's Legion of Everblight

My stepson Jacob got a hordes 2 player set for xmas from santa! He was wanted a legion army for ages as he loves all the dragon monsters haha, so he has taken them as his main force and the circle will be a secondary army that his mates can use. He has been a busy boy over the last few days:

 

pLylyth - Warlock

 

 

Carnivean - Heavy Warbeast

 

 

Shredders - Lesser Warbeasts

 

 

Warspears Unit

 

 

This gives him 21pts, so after a few games of battlebox we will add in the infantry unit. The next step is 25pts so we will add an attachment to the warspears and a couple of shepherds to help with fury management! At 35 I think he'll need another heavy so a ravagore will be perfect! 

 





Gates of Antares: Algoryn Prospectorate start up

A month or so ago the first models for the Algoryn Prospectorate and the Boromites were released by Warlord Games, and the Algoryns really caught my eye. I picked up all the initial releases and got them built, based and washed straight away.

But as life is want to do, a few tourneys and some issues at home got in the way of getting further with them until today:

 

Command Team

 

 

Infiltration Squad

 

 

Mag Light Support

 

 

Mag Light Support

 

 

Assault Squad

 

 

 

Andy Hobday of Warlord was very generous in sending me a proper printed copy of the GoA Beta rules to test out, and also a pre-release Assault Squad in the last picture! Many thanks to Andy and Warlord Games for this awesome gift cheers guys!

 

 

A few more pieces of the Algoryn testing list have been released which I hope to pick these up in the near future. The beta does not contain points values but six sample lists for people to test out and provide feedback on. I need to purchase three more Infantry Squads, one of each of the other two Support Weapons and a drone squadron to complete the Infantry Company

An Early Happy New Years!

Im going to get this in early doors today as I doubt i'll be seeing in the new years haha, the missus and I are knackered from decorating all day and have been up since 3.30am with gitish children!

So I wish all my friends, clients, fellow bloggers and casual readers a happy new year and may your dice roll 6's and the paint flow freely hehe.

This year I have painted a grand total of 862 models, well over 500 for clients which has made me really proud... the total is higher than the last two years combined on both counts.




My vows for 2014 were as follows:

1) Fully paint my Drunes for Darklands
2) Fully paint a new force for Warmachine
3) Fully paint my Amazons & Wendigo for Wargods
4) Fully paint my Banebrood for Godslayer
5) Only start 2 new games this year... Darklands and Wargods



1) Completed up to date
2) Searforge and Thornfall fully painted
3) Not arrived from Crocodile Games yet :-(
4) Completed and then sold on
5) Success haha


Pretty good I think, so how about for 2015?


1) Fully painted Farrow for Warmachine
2) Fully painted Gators for Warmachine
3) Fully painted Pulp City
4) Fully painted Darklands


Those are my vows, hopefully I can achieve them again :-D

Thornfall Alliance: Slaughterhousers

This is my second unit of Slaughterhousers for the my still growing horde:

 

 

I will be picking up a third unit of these bad boys during the journeyman league next year haha



Spotlight: Illumistation from Westwood Woodworks

First of all, Happy Xmas brush brothers! Hope you have all had a great day and got a great haul for the lead mountain hahaha!


This year my awesome wife bought me an Illumistation from Westwood Wood Works! What a result hehe! I really fancied getting one of these to replace the shoebox lids I normally use as paint stations since I saw them advertised a few months ago but now I have one they are epic:

The last photo hasn't come out too well but it shows the two trays for storage of the plug wiring and also brushes/greenstuff etc. My wife ordered me a black one so I can get my logo stickered on to the side yeah boi!

My thanks to Andrew and Jenny Westwood for a swift and safe delivery.

 

Conspiracy of the Cult: Filling out the ranks

Ive started to go back thru the older releases for the Cult of Yurei to fill out my collection:

 

Large Rat Swarms

 

 

 

Wanyudo

 

 

 

Gok

 

 

 

These four take my force to 190 Rice and I only need to pick up Harionago, two Kairai Villagers and two Kusatta Kairai and I will have two completed factions yeah boi!

 

 

At that point I may look and building up a third...



Thornfall Alliance: Helga and Max join the party

The 5th Farrow Warlock, Helga the Conqueror and Maximus the Doom Pig arrived at 4tk on Saturday afternoon so I busted up there to get them painted in time for a tourney at Wayland on the next day haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two additions to ma piggies did me pround, I chalked up two wins out of my three games with Helga and im really impressed with her kung fu.... Max is just a bad ass missle you can send at the enemy or dare them to approach knowing that Bacon Doom awaits them haha
