There will be blood (angels)....

So, Month 1 saw me paint up some Death Company and a Chaplain for a total of 265pts, this month I've got a Baal Predator up to 'tabletop' standard, will add some battle damage beyond the paint chips and paint in the jewels over the next week if I have time.  I'm then off to Vienna for a week so need to get this month's work in early!



The Baal Predator is a tank that can scout (and therefore Outflank), awesome.  Assault cannon and two heavy bolters means lots of pew pew and on a tank that can move 12" and still fire off everything, nice.

I'm struggling with list building at the moment as I want a bit of everything, some Death Company, lots of tanks *and* jump pack marines and just keep running out of points.   Anyways, WIP shot up, back to the grindstone.

We'll have to have a BA-off when your army is done... who is the most red?!  :thumbsup:

Blood Red for the Blood God (see what I've done there - it's very funny!)

Maybe it should be a battle to see who is most Khorne Bezerker-like.

I see what you did there...  :wink;m::

That'll be the one... but I get to charge first :wink;m::

Decision, Decisions...

So, this month has seen my triumphant return to the world of Warhammer with a supporting role in the end of the WFB Campaign (3 stegs make a mess of anything they hit.  TACTICS.) and a fair bit of painting...but no pictures at the mo because the further 5 Marauder Cavalry and 2 Chariots are still in the base painted stage.  8 days to go but I'm away at a wedding this weekend so it's touch and go whether I'll get them done by October.

Which leads me onto a tricky decision.  I've signed up for London Calling, which should be very fun, but am intending to take a WoC list which is...really...slow...going on the painting front.  I still need another 5 Marauder Cav, Wolfric, a small Marauder infantry block, plus knights, crushers, 2 chimeras (need to be converted!), a daemon prince (yep, another conversion needed) and of course movement trays...

I just don't see it getting done in 5 and a bit weeks, one of which I'm off to Marrakech for!  So, the decision:

1) Withdraw from London Calling, paint the Warriors without the pressure

2) Go to London Calling with Skaven

3) Rage quit all Warhammer (basically Option 1 but the Warriors won't get painted  :wink;m::)

Option 2 would be doable as I've got lots of ratties painted, plenty for slaves/clan rat blocks, plus Stormvermin/Plague Monks, a Doomwheel, gutter runners aplenty, censer bearers and weapon teams.  It's just a case of drawing up a list that's somehow competitive *and* not just 6 Dice Dreaded...of the 3 big toys (Doomwheel, Cannon and Abom) it's only the Abom that'd need painting so the project becomes a bit more likely but I'm still concerned about my awful work schedule preventing me from actually play testing the darn thing.

I can't choose, c'mon OGgers, think for me!

I think number 2 is the smart option. SO I vote option 4 - crack on with the warriors :p
Bought: 20
Painted: 11

Boo at Deathwing. Boo!

Go for Option 2 and grasp that wooden spoon with both hands!

Also, if you want to borrow my home-made HPA then that's fine.
