Road to 25 Pts Part II

So I have been a little busy with getting as much as possible out of the way for this tournament. I tried to prioritize models but I have failed miserably, I have been jumping around here and there getting little bits done here and there. But anyways here are some models.


Starting my KEE
Since this is going to be a Steamroller tournament I figured it would be good to break out the Knights Exemplar Errant unit I have had collecting dust since I received this trade.

KEE W/Bow









KEE W/ Sword














So I separated the parts out and found that I could make all the KEE have swords and shields if I wanted or I could do 6 with swords and 4 with crossbows. I opted to put one of each together and see how they came out. I like the bow guys a lot actually so I will be making the 6/4 unit. These are the guys I will be working on for the next 3 days, so hopefully I can get the all cleaned up and start putting paint to them by tomorrow.

Choir Leader
Choir Acolyte



Group Shot
And my min choir is done, So 2 Pts down there. I like how these guys came out, I may adjust my paint scheme slightly for the Jacks but over all I am happy with it. 

So there you go, I am on my way to the 10 man unit being ready for paint, I have one light almost done (no pictures yet), my Crusader, another light, and the Vassal of Menoth. I will also be putting up an article about a conversion I have in progress about taking a Revenger and making it into Blessing of Vengeance to be used with pSevvy. Hopefully I can do a well enough job and the tournament coordinator will allow me to use it... maybe I should get my wracks ready just in case...

Well anyways,

So stay tuned and don't forget to have fun.

Road to 25 Pts

So after a long... a very long time, I have finally been able to find people to play Warmachine with. I have been big into the modeling aspect of this hobby for a while, yes I may not have finished painting many models but I can put together plastic, metal, and resin models with my eyes blindfolded and my hands tied behind my back.

In my previous article I wrote that I had acquired a small Protectorate of Menoth army.

This is what I have:

Warcasters

pKreoss
pSevvy

Jacks

3 Repenters
2 Revengers
2 Vanquishers
2 Crusaders
1 Guardian

Units

Choir
Exemplar Cinerators
Holy Zealots with Monolith Bearer
Knights Exemplar Errants & UA

Solos

Paladin Order of the Wall
Vassal of Menoth
Wracks

So as you can see I have well over 25 points here, so what is my road to 25 points you ask? Well I have my first 25 pt Steamroller tournament on the 14th of October. So I have to have 2 25 point lists with two different casters and character restrictions.

Here is what I have figured out for my lists ... sorta of limited but it's all I have and with my other projects it's not possible to get lists that are full potential:

List 1

pKreoss
-Crusader
-Revenger
-Repenter
Min Choir
Knights Exemplar Errants with UA
Vassal


List 2

pSevvy
-Blessing of Vengeance
-Crusader
-Repenter
Min Choir
Knights Exemplar Errants & UA
Vassal

So as you can see pretty basic lists, I am going up against a meta that has some pretty serious players so I don't expect much but I figured I would challenge myself with getting the above lists completely assembled and painted.

So in this series of articles I will be walking through my WIP models, finished models, and the actual tournament coverage.

So stay tuned everyone and remember to have fun.

New Directions

Well once again I have failed to keep my blog up to date. I am not sure why this is, maybe this time will be different ...

My last post was dedicated to a challenge of a 2000+ point Necron army in pretty much one go. I had 90% of the army assembled and about 50% painted when 6th edition dropped. So long story short the only products from GW I own now are paints...

I did get a good return on selling the Necrons in which I used to buy my loving wife a iPad for school. However I had traded for a small Protectorate of Menoth force at around the same time I had acquired most of the Necrons, so my focus has turned to Warmachine.

While all this was happening I had the happen-chance to run into an individual that was interested in playing Warmachine, eventually he picked up Khador and we went from there. To date we have had 4 battle box games, 2 3 way battle box games and a 15 point game. A coworker and friend has also moved on from GW and now owns Skorne and Circle starter armies. Oh and for my birthday I picked up a small Cygnar force, mainly the battle group and the start of a Nemo3 list. So along with the 3 of use plus a pretty active Warmachine gaming scene I have finally been able to get back on the horse and paint and play.

So I will be taking this blog into a new direction ... again. I will be posting more content about my WIP for each set of minis, showing off what I have actually finished and will have Bat-reps with pictures and possibly in the future video plus other hobby related content.

So stay tuned everyone and don't forget to have fun.
