Santa Claus came late this year...

Gotta love unexpected income. Despite the fact i wanted to wait that i painted what i bought before buying anything new, i couldn't stop myself.

So i purchased ;
2xSavage Orcs Box
1xArachnarok
1xSquig herd blister. (For temporary Squig Manglers)
1xGoblin Fanatic (old metal models, Whirling Death. for 12$, i couldnt resist).

Wurrzag Part 4 . Finished for now

I decided to stop working on Wurrzag for now. My attempt at finding color, or painting them failed so far, and since he's a character, i dont really wanna mess up the paint by trying new stuff. Here is how he look so far, and how he'll most likely look for a few weeks.

So until i feel confident about my choice, i got myself a box of Savage Orc today. Some pretty nice looking plastic models, easy to fit, and the joints are almost invisible. Still undecided if i'll try to cover up a very tiny gap, or if i'll just paint him as is.

Wurrzag Part 3

I completed most of the body, with only the staff left to paint, and the warpaint.

Wurrzag Part 2

Did a little more work over the past day on good ol' Wurrzag.

I painted his mask's wood. I'm pretty happy about the jaw look, but the rest will most likely need to be redone. I did some attempt at glowing, but failed miserably, so he'll just have standard eye. OSL is still too out of my league.

New Book, New Models, Lets get on painting!

Past weeks were quite eventful ;
- Painted for an upcoming tournament (which i failed to complete, btw)
- Participated in said big local tournament
- Orcs and Goblins release...

Wait, what? Yes yes, another army. My wallet is already crying, and my mind is already flying. It was, lets face it, a pretty small release, but the model included were simply amazing.  The savage orcs are imho very nicely sculpted (still badly painted, but that's a whole other story), Warzugg is also a very nice model, and the arachnarok..... wow.

But since i dont want to get involved in a new army that i lose interest in (kinda like my Ogres, sadly), i decided to start slow, and purchase one model. From there, i'll decide if i like the look enough for another box. And after that box, i'll ask myself again if i want to invest in that army...

So i went and got myself Warzugg, the "lets-turn-all-caster-into-squiggies" crazy head-dancing around the fire Orc. After roughly 3 night worth of works, here is what i have accomplished so far ;

I really (REALLY) enjoyed him so far, and i'm really looking forward to start my Savage Orcs horde

What magic to use?

Shadow has proven to be about the best magic to get for my lvl4, but i have yet to find the perfect match for my lvl2.


Many option are possible, but since he only gets to pick 2 or 3 spells, i gotta keep in mind that i might end up with the 2 or 3 "worst" choice, which happens from time to time.

Dark Elfs 2500 pts List ; best possible?

Since i can't afford to bump my Dark Elf army to 1500 for a few months, and with a big tournament coming up in March, the following two months will be very intensive in fantasy. This week, while i'm painting my Cold One and wondering how i'll manage to paint everything in time, I'll talk to you about my Dark Elf list, which i think is about as strong as its possible to make.

Note that this is not a friendly list, you'd probably wouldn't make too many friends with that list, but compared to some other race's abuse, it's not all that bad.

The Race is On. Deadline March 12th

March 12

Before Northern Defenders 3 (March 12th), i have to paint :

1 Dreadlord on Cold One
1 Sorceress
32 Warriors
10 Dark Rider
14 Witch Elves
3 Cold One.
2 Hydra (one being basecoated, the other not built)

First 40k tournament ever

Yesterday was my first ever tournament with 40k. It was a team tournament, with each player bringing 1000 pts (so 2000 vs 2000).

I kept the same list as my test game :
Archon with HuskBlade, PhantasmGrenadeLauncher, CombatDrug, Soul-Trap, ShadowField
5 Incubi with Klaivex and Bloodstone, riding a Raider with Night Shield, Flicker Field and GrislyTrophies
2x10 Wych with Shardnet and Impaler, Razorflails, Hekatrix with PhantasmGrenadeLauncher and Agoniser riding a Raider with Night Shield and Flicker Field
1 Ravager with NightShield and FlickerField.

My teammate had roughly : 
1 warboss
1 bigmek with kustom force field
6 Meganobz
20 Shoota
20 Slugga

1 Defkoptas with Rokkit
2 Battlewagon with Hardcase

Scenario was homemade, with a primary, secondary and tertiary objective. 

First 40k test game

I played my first game of 40k ever today against a store employee, using my list for tomorrow team tournament.

My list was as follow :
Archon with HuskBlade, PhantasmGrenadeLauncher, CombatDrug, Soul-Trap, ShadowField
5 Incubi with Klaivex and Bloodstone, riding a Raider with Night Shield, Flicker Field and GrislyTrophies
2x10 Wych with Shardnet and Impaler, Razorflails, Hekatrix with PhantasmGrenadeLauncher and Agoniser riding a Raider with Night Shield and Flicker Field
1 Ravager with NightShield and FlickerField.

He was playing chaos, with something like this :

Nurgle Daemon that spawn on a champion (sorry, still new to this)
Flying Daemon
1 Rhino with 10 chaos something, with tons of shooting.
1 Land Raider with 5 guys (2 flamer)
1 Obliterator (i think... it come from deepstrike, and just shoot).

Kill Point scenario, with Spearhead deployment. Terrain was basically 9 ruins, deployed in a 3x3 square.
