Models painted.

Exarch flavored
Original.


Does this smell bad? Metal GUO - greenstuff and hate holds this guy together.

Wing idea taken from Rob at Spikey Bits.  It looks awesome and the client thought so too.

Art!
ICE KING!

And finally an army list.  I think this might be good will see.

Here is the Initial Shell - issue comes in what I should add next.

HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, Exalted Gift
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, Exalted Gift
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, Locus of Conjuration
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
FA: Screamers of Tzeentch X 6
Heavy: Soul Grinder, Baleful Torrent, MoN
Heavy: Soul Grinder, Baleful Torrent, MoN

Total comes out to 1505.

So the ideas to add on - depending on what I think might do better.

Khorne Add one
HQ: Herald of Khorne, Locus of Wrath, Juggernaut, Lesser Gift
FA: Flesh Hounds of Khorne X 13

This gives me another FA option to get in there.  They can bust Wave Serpents with their Charge, are pretty fast and hit pretty hard.  They have a lot of wounds - 26 - and with a few spells could be extremely dangerous.  

Another idea. Slaanesh
HQ: Herald of Slaanesh, Lvl 2, Steed, Locus of Grace
FA: Seekers of Slaanesh X 18, Heartseeker

This is fast as well, gives me a different spell caster and can be a pain in the ass for a lot of armies.  It does give me some extra options as well.  It is just very week to massed shooting and can die quickly.

Another idea as well with Nurgle
FA: Plague Bringers X 3, Chaos Icon
Heavy: Soul Grinder, MoN, Baleful Torrent

I can move these guys up, hide them and teleport off their Icon.  I would also get another screamer this way.  It isn't a terrible idea.

I could also just get another squad of Screamers with another herald.  It would give me another fast unit that could get out there, get annoying and with the roll of a 10 on the warp storm have a 3++ with some dice from the other unit.  It isn't a bad idea either.  I will play test with 4 Heralds, 8 Screamers and 3 Grinders when I get back.  Blargh - too much to think about haha.  I also have some CSM ideas as well.

Goatboy's Weekly Paint list and Friends!



Woohoo - paint list - figured I would add from last week to see where we are at.

Paint list

Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Need to work or use Adventure Time drawing...
2 More Frontline Gaming things...
If I forgot art somewhere remind me - I know I have a shirt to do for Don and his crew

Jens
Warhound Titan - Guns done - now the body and legs - done before end of the month!

Luis
2 DA Black Knight Bikers - Primed this morning!
Ship off DA stuff - Part in box other small box getting packed this weekend - ship out next week

Ender
6 Old Skool Wraiths - Done!
21 Scarab Bases - Done!
1 Destroyer Lord conversion - Done!
3 Spiders - Done!
Completed Sunday!

Kenneth
1 Zombie Dragon DP - Done!
1 Rhino - Done!
2 Destroyer Lords - Done!
1 Rhino - done!
3 Oblits - Done!
Completed Saturday!

Will
19 Daemonettes - Done!
1 GUO - pieces!
3 Plague Drones - Pieces
1 Nurgle DP - Pieces... :(
This will be done end of the month - didn't get a chance to build the rest yet.

David
2 Eldar Flyers - Need  to build/fix
1 Wraithknight - Need to build/fix


Will see what else comes up - maybe something for myself... will see.  I want to do a crazy conversion/Soul Grinder using that Chaos monster from WOC and some other stuff.  Will see.  Tentacled monstrosity.  That is the plan.  And use this one thing for a new DP with a gun.  Hrm... Slaanesh probably due to the use of the Whip but still it is a thought.

Stupid list ideas!  Yay Beer!

CSM - Ally Black Legion
HQ: DP, MoN, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, The Black Mace, Spell Familiar
Troops: Cultists X 10
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heavy: Land Raider
Heavy: Land Raider

Black Legion
HQ: DP, MoN, Wings, Armor, Lvl 3, Spell Familiar, Last Memory Artefact
Troops: Cultists X 10
Heavy: Land Raider

So yeah - 3 LR's, 2 DP's and 2 Heldrakes.  It might work out and it would be a pain for a lot of armies to deal with.  The Last Memory could be very handy to fly forward, pop and cause havoc on lots of armies.  You don't need to ally in Black Legion but I just want to mess with that Artefact.  You could almost drop the Black Legion for Fateweaver and 10 Horrors.  You would move the LR back over and not have a troop choice for it - but it does pose an interesting idea.  Muhahahaha.

Hope you enjoy the Batrep I put on BOLS.  Look for more here as I test that list more.

Models painted.

Level 1 Spiders.  Or Spyders - or whatever!

Metal Sucks!  More Level 1 Crons

Counts as Destroyer lord.  Woohoo!

Nurgle Dragon/Daemon Prince... RAR!!!

Rhino - beep beep let me get there before I give up a KP.
And now some art - as usual you can get me to do some art for you starting at $25.00 for most banners and designs.  Bigger and harder stuff costs more - email me if you are interested at goatboybols @ gmail.com.
Adventure time is an awesome show.  If you are a facebook friend you should have seen this already.
More stuff for Frontline - look for a Nurgle one for Frankie later this week.

SPACE DWARVES!!! This guy has an awesome army and look for it at the Nova.

Wahh... more logos - I guess I do that hah.

Army list for testing - thoughts etc.

Hopefully get a game tomorrow or at least 1 or 2 on Saturday.

List I will bring and then the list I want to mess with afterwards.  Still feels like I need a dog set to help deal with Wave Serpents.  Hrm...

HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, Locus of Conjuration
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3, Exalted Gift

Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
FA: Screamers X 7
FA: Flesh Hounds of Khorne X 15
Heavy: DP, MoT, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift X 1, Lvl 3

It is more random - but it has some things I think will work out well.  Hrm... always a thought - plus it has some fast bits to get around and bother things.

Will do some kind of Batrep about the games I play this weekend.  Woohoo.



Models painted so far.

Rip tide says Disco dancin is the way to lose weight and feel great!

He said these are Russian - no idea but they look awesome as Oblits.

Conversion by client.


Speed Destroyer Lords - the above rusted one was from parts I had laying around like a boss.

Daemonettes done!  Now just a GUO, 3 Plague Drones, and a DP and I am done with this Daemon order - Should be finished next week.

WHA??? I thought Science was a cool battle cry.  I like Math too but that is so Adventure Time.  Damned an Adventure time themed army... 

Fixed Tactics - Reese said I need Aqua Blue so I gave it to him.
If you want art/banner/logo the costs starts at $25.00 for most images.  Big nutty stuff costs more etc.

Goatboy - Yeah its been a bit - Recovering from ATC



I made it back from ATC safe and sound.  I have just been playing catch up to get things finished for clients.  Lots of stuff coming in - mostly small things so it should be a crazy few weeks before my anniversary vacation.  Cruise to Cozumel for the wife and I so it should be fun.  I get to sale, eat, and not worry about a crazy dog giving me crap for not playing fetch with her.

I tried to get a game in on Thursday with my screamer star build but I got there too late and everyone was gaming.  I plan on trying to get some testing done soon as I am itching to not play monster mash.  I bring it up to the front (Everyone else thought of it too - I just did well with it at first) and now I see it a lot.  I am not sure what I will bring to Feast but I want to see if Screamer Star works well enough.  I worry about it's overall lack to bust Armor 13.  I know the grinders can assault but that isn't a guarantee and the two Vengenance launchers might not shoot the thing I want.  Still it is a thought.

Oh for those wondering - the vengenance lauchers are a bit over 2 inches for the bottom and then the gun adds another 2 inches.  You can hide stuff behind them for sure.  I am thinking it might be a good option as it gives you some chances to pop Armor 13 with ordance and its range.  Plus it will scatter all over the places causing fun times.

So let's get the paint list for the next two weeks.  I got a few big things to do so it will be a bit rough for me.

Me.
Plastic Dudesmen - Done and uploaded! This idea came from the podcast discussion night with Forge the Narrative - I drew another one too but will need to spice it up a bit.
Art for people
Crone World designs - Colored and sketch
Swarmlord drawing - Colored
Frontline Gaming stuff - working on things - one drawn and colored.
Rework website with easier list of prices and how to figure out what you get. Tweaked and updated with new logo - yay!

Will
10 Flesh Hounds of Khorne - Done!
10 Daemonettes - Done!
9 Daemonettes - Primed!
And then there is some big stuff and this lot will be done.

Jens
Riptide - Primed except for the 2 drones - will get done this weekend.
Chaos Warhound - got it built - will prime and get it done/started this weekend.  At least all the guns and head painted up.

Luis
2 Dark Angel Black Knight bikers - need to find the bike parts - then kit base them together from extra Black Knight bits.  NO BEAKY HEADS hah.
Then I pack the rest of this DA stuff up in a box and ship it on.  Then I start LOTR figures.  Woohoo.

I got a small CSM commission coming in - Rhinos, Oblits and one Necron Destroyer lord.  I also have some Wraiths and another Necron bit coming in soon too.

So yeah the week is full of paint stuff.  Always working is my motto hah.  Or always crying hehe.

I am hoping the Black Legion mini book will give me some options to use decent CSM stuff.  Beyond 3 Helldrakes.  Or at least more cool stuff.  It is frustrating when the Marine book has so much more stuff while the poor CSM book just doesn't have all the neat stuff it needs.  Blargh is what I saw... BLARGH!  I just want Blast Master Chaos Terminators.  Is that too hard to ask for?

I keep thinking mixing the Screamer Bomb with Flying DP's might be better then grinders.  It just seems to feel like it would work - but 1850 makes it daunting to fit.  Jerks is what I say!  Jerks.

This could work.

HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Locus of Conjuration, Disc, Lvl 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Lvl 3
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
FA: Screamers of Tzeentch X 6
Heavy: DP of Tzeentch, Armor, Wings, Lvl 3, Greater Gift, Exalted Gift
Heavy: DP of Tzeentch, Armor, Wings, Lvl 3, Greater Gift, Exalted Gift

I could drop a Herald of something else but I am not sure if it is worth it.  It does give me some flyers woohoo!  Of course I think of changes before I even play the army.  Lord.

Alright some models to look at and some arts.

Cat Marine for Rob!

Wha... new logo - cleaner.
Colors might change - but this is what I did today.
TACTICS!!!

Monday - bloody Monday!

3 days of work then I am off for ATC.  Woohoo - it should be a good time.  I get to hang out with some friends, play lots of 40k, and hopefully win a game or two.  I got that Daemon list I posted so it should be ok.  I did finish all the Heralds for the Herald bomb so will be testing that.  I have decided to add the new fortification - the Battle Cannon pods etc.  I should be getting them in - chaosing them up  and causing problems as usual.

Ok - quick paint list - it will bleed until next week.

Me.
Plastic Dudesmen - Need a script - need to do tomorrow
Article - Plan on talking about Elites and how they are sucking now
Plague Hulk # 2 - Primed and partway painted - (Actually finished tonight after writing this - I AM MACHINE)
3 Heralds of Tzeentch - Done!
Those Vengeance thingies - getting them when I get back.

Chris
Cryx stuff - all done for now!  I think I got Jacks next

Luis
Next week final push of Dark Angels then its Lord of the Rings stuff - and probably marines when the new book comes out.

Will
10 Horrors of Tzeentch - done - total at 20
10 Flesh Hounds of Khorne - Old Metal ones
Maybe the old GUO - need to build

Jens
Warhound - With the Builder - will finish next week before the weekend
1 Riptide - Need to build and Magnetize - will do next week too - might build on Wednesday depending on where Plastic Dudesmen is

Beyond that I will try to write up a report for the tournament.  It has been awhile and I will try to get into a BOLS report with some Daemons.  It's just hard for me to get the time to play - but I have been wanting to showcase my lack of playing haha.

I need to get some art done too - so look for that.  I am just feeling the itch to draw a bit and hopefully I can get some time before I get out on a cruise for my anniversary.  Will keep those updated on where I am at mini wise.  I think the Daemons should be done before I leave.  Woohoo - not much left in that list - 19 Daemonettes, GUO, 10 Dogs, 3 Plague Drones, and 1 DP.  Not too bad eh?  I should chunk out 2 per week or so - maybe three.  The big fat bit is the Daemonettes and once I figure out a scheme they will be easy.

Initial Screamer Bomb List

HQ: Fateweaver
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Locus of Conjuration, Level 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Exalted Gift, Level 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Exalted Gift, Level 3
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Disc, Level 3
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10
Troops: Plague Bearers X 10
FA: Screamers X 8 (I forgots...)
Heavy: Soul Grinder, MoN, Baleful Torrent
Heavy: Soul Grinder, MoN, Baleful Torrent
Fortification: Vengeance Weapon Battery X 2, Battle Cannon X 2

1845pts

Figure it would give me two Ordnance options for the same cost as one Grinder.  Plus the two Baleful guys will deep strike in.  A buddy said Mindshackle Missiles will suck - which they will but will just see how it goes when they show up.  If not it might be time I get that other Fortification that shoots lascannons in the sky.  PEW PEW MUTHA EFFER!

Ok some models -

Final infantry for the Cryx order - bases took a bit to get in - plus orderer wasn't playing

The Portal Bringer

The Muscle

The Librarian.
I painted them differently so the cards will make more sense for the options.  The unit will be a pain in the ass if it works.  If it doesn't - well a few mind strike missiles will pop it.

10 more Horrors.
