Impossible Dream

I have been itching to do a terrain project now for a while and I think I have come up with the perfect idea. I have been mulling it over for a bit and I think I'm going to try and build a fold able 4x4 city table for warmachine and hordes games. I want the buildings that will be on the city table to be magnetized, so I swap them out for destroyed versions but also so don't feel restricted on how many building their will be on the table.

I used the WM/H vassal program to make a design of what I would want the my board to look like after doing a rough sketch of the table layout. I really like the canal and railroad bridge. The canal is going to be shallow water so things with pathfinder will be fine and gives speedy units another option to get around sneakily. The rail line and bridge are going to be on a raised platform and you will be able to overlook allot of the board great place for ranged stuff but not to overpowering. All the main streets and builds will be wide enough for a gargossal or battle engine to move no problem and the side streets between the buildings with wide enough for three 30mm bases or one 40mm bases to fit. The buildings will be destroyable but I have to play around with the sizes and rules in the book first.   I really like this lay out doesn't feel too closed in but makes each player have to make serious tactical decisions.

This is going to be awesome

I am hoping to get this started soon have to take care of a few things with my car first. Hopefully I won't be bored this winter.

So wanted to go to adepticon...

Convergence of Cyriss

I just wanted to do a blog post about Privateer press's newest faction and how in a previous post I stated I would started playing/collecting a new army being Protectorate of Menoth. After seeing the livestream at templecon and have been following spoilers on the PP forums.  I have changed my mind about collecting menoth and have decided to just head long into collecting and playing CoC.

Few reasons for this first of all being that I was planning on doing a converted Adeptus Mechanicus army using the necron rules. But after hearing about GW's newest trade policies in the regards of getting rid of bits sales and making it harder for retailers to stock certain items via direct sales and general GW business shadiness. I have decided to save myself some money this summer instead of doing a converted army and just use the money I would save for other projects I was interested in like building a foldable terrain board for Warmachine and Hordes.

Aurora's 3d concept art calling it now

Axis, The Harmonic enforcer

I really like the look of the models so far and the lore and mechanics of the faction look solid. So far my two favorite Warcasters are Aurora, Numen of Aerogenisis and Axis. Axis had some rules previewed in yesterdays insider on PP main site, wow is he looking awesome hope he has some defensive spell like iron flesh or defenders wards tho but field marshal: counter charge, while giving all his jacks mat7 is fricken awesome. I hope Aurora is as good if not better then axis cause he is looking good. The warjacks look great they look different enough but don't look completely alien to the setting like Retribution ones do. I really like the look of the units too but my favorites so far Clockwork angels and Reciprocators.Interesting to see what solos if any will be in the faction I heard their was talk about a unit UA that could be attached to different units sounds cool.

But yea so exicted about this new faction I can't wait til june/july to get my hands on this stuff and if owning nercons has taught me anything this is going to be a easy paint scheme.

Blindwater army update

I finished painting a few models for my blindwater force. Still have a ways to go my goal is to have a fully painted 35 point army to take to some steamroller events in the future. We had a event yesterday at one of the LGS but unfortunately, one of my tires went on my car and didn't wanna risk the 60ish mile round trip on a worn out spare.

My 35 point blindwater list:
Blood barnabas  +6
- Blackhide wrastler  9
-Bull snapper  3
-Ironback spitter  8
Max Gatorman posse 9
Gatorman witchdoctor 3
Wrong eye + Snapjaw 9

 Nothing special pretty standard list really only thing I would prolly change to make it a bit more competetive. Would be to maybe drop wrong eye & snapjaw and maybe add a second unit of posse but I'm more of a collector by choice. Painted models I have for this list so far:

The boss himself

The wrastler

Bull snapper

Croak hunter

Group shot

I know that the croak hunter wasn't in the 35 point list but the croak hunter and barnabas for the first blindwater models I purchased. I wanted to get him painted he isn't based but I have not decided how I want to base him yet. Next models that are primed and ready for painting are going to be gatorman posse and witchdoctor. I still have to assemble the Ironback spitter and Wrong eye & snapjaw.

Real life sucks

I haven't been able to get much wargaming stuff done in the last 3 months, with the crazy holiday season, while still on the job hunt and have been playing firefall(which is awesome). And with the end of the holidays begininng of the new year I sometimes get the new year army itch. Where I start up a new army with a theme that most likely get bored with and shelved. This year is going to have a twist tho I will start a new army but only like I finish a army I started previously.

Love the smell of burnt heretic in the morning  j/k =p

With breaking with tradition completely this new army will not be a 40k army but instead it is Protectorate of Menoth. This isn't my first time playing warmachine I started back when MK2 came out and alot of players from a LGS got fed up with GW and made an exodus to PP.  I like both games for different reasons I don't consider my self a fanboy of either and try to play both systems regularly.

What's not to love about a ancient homocidal Gatorman?

Now I mentioned before in order to start this army I need to finish a army I started previously I needed to finish collecting/painting a army I started before. I choose to finish my Blindwater Congregation I started when Hordes MK2 came out. I have model of the models except the bog trogs, swamp horror and new stuff coming in Gargantuans but there on my list just need to paint them up what I have atm. I am going to try and set up a game against my buddy jim for this week for some 40k or warmachine/hordes action.
