I haven't updated  this site since for ever. But that is about to change. I have started to miss blogging. 

There might also be a slight change in what I will write about, since I what I am doing with my hobby has changed during the year I've been gone from the site. 

In short, I am no longer planning to enter GD's and am painting a little less. I am instead trying to get better at the game of Warmachine and is researching tactics and strategies to improve my game. So I will write more about tactics in future posts but there will off course be painting as well. Lots and lots of painting.

Stay tuned!

Excarnate - Bile Thrall (Tactica) How to lose friends and alienate people

Hi all

Haven't writen in a while. Have been preparing for the swedish nationals in WM by painting lots of miniatures. And dreaming of killing Gun Mages and Nyss Hunters and other high def units using cheap Bile Thralls.

I will (have been by the time this gets published) played Skaverous in the nationals. And Im thinking about biles. And Excarnate. And how silly it is. In the list I will be running the threatrange is "just" 22" from your unit commander in the bile unit. Silly.

Wanna know how it works? wanna know? This is how it works:

In this setup, the Skaverous player goes first (best obv). I have choosen just the figures involved in the trick:
Skavve
Skarlock
Darragh Wrathe
Biles!
Warwitch Siren
"Arc node"

He is faced with a bunch of Nyss, 2 heavys and eDenny.

TURN1:

Move up with everything. The biggest threat range a Nyss hunter can get is 22" (with push and +2 SPD) but usually it is just 19. To be sure you could run 10" up the table but here I just advance them 9,5".

Assuming the Denny player chooses to advance cautiously it could end up something like this. Would you feel safe? I think I would. But here comes round 2

ROUND 2

1. First powerboost the Arc Node

2. Run the arc node up the table. Find an easy living target. In lack of that, just find a living one.
3. Move Skaverous up 3,5-somthing-inches.

4. EXCARNATE!!
5. Place new bile thrall grunt as shown in picture

now here comes a lot of movement tricks

6. Telekinesis (TK) the first bile thrall and then TK back yourself (this requires you to feat before excarnate to get enough focus, but you can also skip this step)
7. Use skarlock to TK bile unit leader to keep formation.

8. Darragh do his thing! 1" more move (forward for bile, backward for Skaverous)

9. Walk, PURGE! result below:

Beware, this will probably not make you allot of friend, this move. And considering the additional damage you can make with a reaper and the withershadow combine in the list you might just as well change your name and skip town all together ;)

But there it is.

Note to self (lesson learned from masters): Bile thralls doing Purges hits everything and causes continuous corrosion. CONTINUOUS CORROSION!

Golden Demon Updates

Ok. So I have just finished a weekend of gaming and the preparations and all the miniatures painted for the contests. Now it is time to continue the golden demon projects. Today I will get some paint on the carnifex. The dreadnaughts will arrive later this week and last night I started constructing the display base for my terminators.

Ork done!

My warm up project for the Golden Demon is done. And I might have gotten a fair bit done on the duel as well, but that I cant show here. But this I can :)

Enjoy!

And if you want to vote, here is the CMON link!

Preperation and test of color scheme

Preparations is ongoing for Golden Demon. I am almost done with the ork warboss as a warm up and his base is on its way. The Base for my duel is getting along, I still need to find more detail to add to it, but I do have a couple of months for that ;)

Made a first test piece for the Carnifex monster I am entering. Not sure about the colors but they are around where I want them. And I keep taking pictures using my iphone, thus the quality of them. Hehe

Gettin there with the Ork

As a warmup for my mad Golden Demon rush I plan to finish my ork warboss or whatever he is called. And I am getting there

Ogrun Bokur

Had a friend/training/work-free evening and the result you can see below:

Now that twat Eiryss can just try and hit my caster! Hoho!
