The Unsinkables WIP #1
This weekend i started working on my army, after getting a great bit of inspiration from both GMM Studios and Sproket. I wanted a boat, which is nice and all, but it did very little to link the army together, so i decided to make them more.... Watery? Sea worthy? Like a bunch of guys who been at seas forever?
Anyway.

2400 : A warrior of Chaos End Time list
With End Times : Glottkin released, now is time to plan my next army. I really wanted to do a Vampire Army for 2015, but decided against it. Not because i lack ideas, but mainly because sculpting zombies didn't really appeal to me right now. I also considered starting over my Ogres army, but again, this was a very big conversion project, and i want to take my time to do each one right.
So here is my 3rd choice, a WoC army based on End Times :Glottkin. Why based on Glottkin? Because i will most likely end up using this one for my army background, and also i'll be sporting quite a few models from the book.
Here's a look at my list ;
Lord
Bloab Rotspawned
Probably the most expensive lvl3 mage, Blob is an amazing miniature (can we really call it that, considering its size?), and a pretty impressive close combat fighter (considering he's a mage!). There's really no reason for me to get any other mage beside him. And, he's my anti-armor shooting platform!
Morbidex TwiceBorn
Moribex is my general... at leadership 8, its gonna be a rocky rides, i know. But he's the only lord from the End Times that i can take who has any kind of saves against warmachine, and warmachine scares me. I play this game to throw dice. If my ennemy can kill my whole army before i reach CC, it kinda kills the fun....
Heroes
Exalted Heroes
Mark of Nurgle
Battle Standard Bearer
Scaled Skin
Great Weapon
At leadership 8, i think a BSB is pretty mandatory. Even at leadership 10 it is, in fact. He's a pretty standard "cheap" build, with just a 2+ armor saves, and a great weapon.
Core
17 Warrior of Chaos
Mark of Nurgle
Halberds
Full Command
16 Warrior of Chaos
Mark of Nurgle
Halberds
Full Command
Two relatively big blocks of Warriors with halberd. My army isnt fast, so there's really no reason to get anything that goes faster than M4. I would love to take dogs, but they can't be marked Nurgle, and Glottkin doesnt care much for unmarked foo's!
Special
Chaos Warshrine
Mark of Nurgle
The gift givers, he's gonna be 6 dicing his boundspell till his head explodes. My goal isnt really to get a daemon prince (oh god, i need to build one in case!), but to try and improve my two lords into something even better. Bloab or Morbidex with an extra toughness, armor saves or weapon skills can really make them monster...
Gorebeast Chariot
Mark of Nurgle
A... chariot? Really? Yes! the Gorebeast chariot is such a beast, there's no reason not to take at least one! He has the toughness and wounds to take a punishment without dieing, and is strong enough to help anyone in trouble quickly.
5 Putrid Blightkings
Full Command
5 Putrid Blightkings
Full Command
two unit of 5? yes. But they're only infantry? yes. They are broken, and not in a good way. What obviously should been at least monstrous infantry got the tag infantry only, so they can be stomped, they can be dreaded 13th-ed, they can be cannon-ed easily. But the models are amazing, and i love good looking models!
So right at 2393 pts. This list is pretty set in stone, except that i might switch Bloab and Morbidex for Glottkin, replacing at the same time my Chariot for a scroll caddy (i seriously need defense against purple sun with that monster I1). Both are considered, especially considering that Glottkin gets automatically +1 Wardsave on the Eye of the God tables, which make the warshrine a must have to get him to 4+ asap (if someone has fire, otherwise regen is good enough).
My goal is to start painting this army by mid-november, and hopefully be done by mid-february, just in time for a big event around here.

Maggoth Lord and Glottkin rules review and play test
First impression Maggoth Lord and Glottkin.
First off, those who read my blog before know that i am a Daemon of Chaos player before anything, Warrior of Chaos never really interesting me. When i head that the second End Times book would be about Chaos, i was excited.
When i saw the new rules for Legion of Chaos, i was a bit less excited, but that's another story. Today, i'll talk about the 2 new model released with End Times; the Maggot Lords and Glottkin.
When the Maggot Lord were released i swiftly purchased two, planning on playing both Bloab and Moribex the next day at a small local monthly tournament. Since Legion of Chaos wasn't released yet, i played them with the correct rules (provided in the boxes), but the "wrong" Legion of Chaos rules (i wasn't unstable). And since i'm not a WoC player, being forced to challenge was new to me...
Playing them
I took Bloab, because i wanted magic. He's a lvl3, with +1 to cast, so he was able to cast, but missed a spell selection that made him subpar for the lone caster in my army. His catapult is interesting, but he didn't get a single direct hit, nor did i face anything with alot of armor...
Then i took Morbidex. Not because i wanted to boost my Nurgling, but because i wanted a General with some kind of save. Regen isnt bulletproof, but it's better than nothing, especially on a 400 pts model. His offensive stats are barely under Orghotts, so i feel he's a safer bet.
The rest of my list ;
2x21 Plague Bearers
3 Beasts of Nurgle
1 Beasts of Nurgle
2 Nurgling base
1 Soul Grinder of Nurgle
2 Skull Cannon
Now, how it went on my tournament ;
Game #1 vs Skaven.
A skaven without cannon or Abomination, i was pretty confident. In the end, i never really charged them in, since i wasnt sure how good they could do. I did win, and neither really played a big part in the victory (beside, obviously, soaking alot of shooting.
Game #2 vs Dwaft.
A typical gunline, with the worst possible scenario. I had to cross the table, from short edge to short edge, sloooooowly. I tried to hide everything from shooting, instead of rushing in, so i ended up getting Bload shoot down, and Morbidex not doing anything before game ends. I lost by something like 600 pts.
Game #3 vs High Elf.
Now, i understood how the models worked, and felt like i knew they could hold their own in combat... so i did.... and, no matter how many attacks you have, if you roll 1s to wound, you're bound to lose by 2... and run... and rally.... and lose... and run off the table... twice.
Moral of the story? Those models have so many rules, you need to understand them perfectly, and remember them, otherwise they are too expensive for lone characters.
Bloab
A Mage with T5 8 wounds, with no save beside a 3+, he's pretty expensive at 415 pts. But when you add that he has a catapult at 24" S3 that allow no armor saves, An aura that deals D6 S3 magical attack at 6" around each own magic phase AND +1 to cast and -1 to cast for opponent within 12", he gets alot more interesting.
Yes, before anyone comment, i do think that T5 8 wounds caster at 415 pts is expensive. Just about anything can wound him except S3 arrows. And he can't hide in a units, so he needs to be able to soak some damage....
Morbidex
Same stats as Bloab, except he has 2 more attacks, more weapon skill and regen. this one is alot simplier to play, he's basically the good ol' point and click, without being as stupidly good as a WoC Daemon Prince. He can lose combat when dice wants you to (and believe me, mine did!), but he can also down pretty much everything. His small bonus to nurgling is interesting, giving them a 4+ regen save. His downfall obviously will be challenge, since he can be challenged out of an easy win (and thunderstomp) pretty easily.
Glottkin
I didn't play the guy yet. I plan on trying him out this weekend, but for now, all i can comment on, is what i see on my Glottkin's book.
First, thing first, the base debate. In all publication, he's sideways, like a soulgrinder's base. in the instruction, he's like a chariot, with the short edge front and back. Who's right? hard to say.
He's another beast, with T6 12 wounds and regen (!!!!) and 5+D6 S6 attacks. That's... alot of attacks, alot of wounds, but oddly enough, not much strenght. Sure, he has Ghurk's single attacks who's S10 D6 wound's but against cavalry, he's most likely to bounce off and run away. He's also "only" WS 6, so pretty much nobody hits him on 6s. In that regard, i almost feel like Morbidex is stronger in CC... He does have a pletora of rules, some of them really good ;
Nurgle's Rot. The good ol' rot. Depending how you place his base, that could be very annoying, since everyone in contact takes a S1 no armor saves hit.
He's lvl4. Well, that was to be expected, since he's the chaos version of Nagash.
He gives to everyone within 12" with mark of nurgle or daemons of nurgle a reroll to charge (!!!!) and for some reason that rule (Lord of Nurgle) also make him auto-win "Aura of Chaos" when rolling for rewards. So Park him next to a warshrine, and work on giving him a 4+ Wardsave!
Finally, he has a S3 no armor-save breath, only used in CC.
For 810 pts? Sign me up, anytime.
Next post, i'll show some picture of the models in my hand, and possibly my next project/list.
Also, if you have question regarding any of the 4 lord, please comment, and i'll get back to you as soon as possible.

End Times : Glottkin pictures and stats!
New pictures from the new End Times being released this weekend.

Carnival of Carnage : Great Milenko's Hall of Illusion Ride.
Today i completed the cart for my Soulgrinder/Hall of illusion experience. I tried to stay as close to possible to the video, while making it as much Nurgle as possible (so alot more "alive" i hope).
The big red "M", with something that oddly look like a penis. Not sure if it was intentional, but i did notice it on the video. No matter what, i stuck with it. After seeing that picture, i think i might have to go over it again and shade it some more. I wanted it really bright green, and that's exactly what i got, but its a pretty bland bright green.
On the wheel and skull, i tried something new ; i roughly used the same recipe for my dark NMM that i used with my Grey Knight, but i skipped a few mid/light green and went straight for a much lighter color. Add alot of "BOOM" to the highlights. I like it.
The Poor Bastard running the cart. He's probably what i like the most about this ; model fits right in, and i like how i painted him.
All of a sudden, that Soulgrinder is getting closer to completition!

Carnival of Carnage : Violent J, prince of Nurgle
Hey! I'm Violent J. And I'm here... Well, I'm here to kick your ass!
Riddle Box
My big Daemon Prince is advancing near completition. I'm not 100% happy about him, and hearing someone this weekend call him hippo didn't help. The more i paint him, the more i realize that a green stuff job has to be more than just "adequate", otherwise once painted, you see all the faulty details.

Carnival of Carnage : Oh the horror! a pink horrors story
What is better to give you a boost of motivation to paint? Win games. I was slowly loosing motivation, especially since i couldnt manage a win to save my life, so the painting was slowly stopping. Then i tried a new list (not involving Kairos), and i started winning. And all of a sudden, i want to finish this army and add even more to it.
So my Pink horrors got some love, and i started my first test model.

Carnival of Carnage main attraction : Daemon Prince, Soul Grinder, steeds and horrors
oh how i love vacation ; the perfect time for doing stuff you usually don't have time for, like cleaning up your working space. This is exactly what i did for two straight days ; cleaning up my paint spot, storing correctly my armies and terrains, and basically, cleaning up all the crap that was laying everywhere.
But, this post isnt about how i cleaned my workspace, its instead about my new additions to my army being worked on ; the Daemon Prince of Nurgle, the Soul Grinder of Nurgle, the Steeds of Slaanesh, and the Pink Horrors.
