The Badger has been RAIDED!!!

While out at sea on a raid, the home port of the Hendybadger was raided!
By the Galley Wench!

This is all that was found when he returned.

More to come!

Upon the badgers return he did bring back a massive haul of booty!

The Lair of the Giants is now empty. YAR!

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Something Old and Something New

With the blog hitting the recent landmark of 100K hits (the giveaway is still going on HERE) I decided it was time I mixed things up abit. On the blog and in my personal hobby. The 'Supers' gaming will stay but other games will be added to it.

First up I have decided to return to where this blog started.......

After not playing Warmachine for a long, long time I have dug out the old army.
A lot of things were cleared out when our little boy arrived but I still have 50-60pts of Talion Charter Mercs.
To be more precise, A Pirates Life - Shae Tier 4

Captain Shae
3 x Nomad (converted to the pirate theme, pics below)
Freebooter
Buccaneer
Commodore Cannon
First Mate Hawk
Bosun Grogspar
Lord Rockbottom
Dirty Meg
Doc Killingsworth
Aiyana and Holt
Full Sea Dogs inc 3 Riflemen and Mr Walls
2 x 6 Press Gangers

A great force that takes a lot of hits to take down and dishes out even bigger hits itself.
With Shae being the least played Caster of the least played Faction they are also a surprise to anybody that doesn't face them on a regular basis.
Here are my converted Privateer Nomads and the paint scheme on my Buccaneer.

The pic of the Bucc doesn't really do it justice. My best paintjob I have ever done in my opinion.

I'm going to get some practise in with this force and maybe even take it to a couple of tournaments and events.
But then what?
I want to expand with some more Jacks, Bart, Fiona, filling out the units and getting some more key Solos.
Then there's GALLEON!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!
At a push I may even grab some Searforge for Shaes new NQ Tier List.

After expanding the Mercs I want to look at the NQ Tier List for Skarre as I was given her model recently.
A mix of Merc and Cryx Pirates. I LOVE the Cryx Revenants and cant wait to get my hands on some.
Im already sure that this will lead onto a full Cryx Pirate force with Blackbanes, Black Ogrun, Epic Skarre, Satyxis, Terminus and Crab Jacks.

MAYBE after that I might look at Hordes again.
I did have a Blindwater Gator force but I lost interest in them after a while. That was before the new additions in Domination though.
If I do go for Hordes it will be a return to the Blindwater Gators and the addition of Thornfall Farrow.

But for now its pirates all the way.

Then theres the something new......

I tried to get into Malifaux a while ago with a Dreamer / Lord Chompy Bits crew.
I collected EVERYTHING they could have. Including the nightmare additions. But I soon discovered they were a very tricky crew to learn with.
This put me off the game and the crew was sold in what has come to be know as 'The Great Purge'

I recently started going to a local store called the Giants Lair. They have a regular (Rich) who is a Malifaux Henchman and has been trying to talk me into trying the game out again.
Still unsure on it, Rich offered me a full crew in trade for afew models I was getting rid of anyway.Ok, I'm in!

And this is where I will begin.

The Viktorias
Convict Gunslinger
Ronin x3
Von Schill
Friekorps Librarian

A good solid base to learn and play according to the Henchman.
I had a look at the other models in the Outcasts range and with abit of helpful advice I have decided to add a couple of options to play about with and swap in and out.
Student of Conflict (meant to be a great addition)
Hamelin (has my families dog)
Sue (who can say no to a flaming guitar?)
Hans (meant to be another great addition)

From this start I will get as many games in as I can and she how I get on with the game and the crew.
It may just end there! But, and theres always a but, What if it doesn't?
What if I end up really liking the game?
Will I get more Outcasts? Move to another Faction? (I like the look of the Arcanists and Neverborn)
Who knows? Only time will tell I guess.

Keep an eye out here to see what happens with both games.
How I get on, my modelling and painting (and probably converting), any new additions and any events.

Until next time True Believers.....

Hendybadger awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

The Projects (Where they are and where they are going)

With lots of news, previews, reviews and even the Exclusive on the Sarissa Precisions Warehouse on this blog I thought I would post up a rundown of the gaming based projects I'm currently working on.
So here they are! With their current standings and whats coming next in each.

Mercenary Talion Charter Pirates

Current State - So far I have around 120pts of Talion Pirates built so far. And they are in the early stages of painting. Lots of base coats down.

Next - With the new plastic kit coming in Jan I will be adding 2 Rovers, Rociante, converting 3 Mules and a couple of other Jacks, filling out the PG units and adding more Sea Dogs. Then attempting to finish painting all of it!

After That? - Cryx Undead Pirates!

Minions Blindwater Congregation Gators


Current State - Just under 100 pts. Bog Trogs to build along with a 3rd Gator Posse and a couple of Snappers. Based on deep resin bases, not undercoated.

Next - The wonderful Swapm Horrors and Bone Swarms will be added as soon as released. All bases are going to be water effect swamps. More Painting. Looking forward to seeing whats in Domination in afew days for the Gators. Whatever it is, I know Im going to want it.

After That? - Re starting my Farrow. But as a different species!

Supremes + Minions

Current State - About 25 Supremes made. Necroplane, Heavy Metal and assorted. Mostly undercoated. Painting next.
Quite afew Minons made inc robots, zombies , SG1 Jaffa and strange things. Also need painting. (Can you see a pattern here?)

Next - The new wave of Supremes when they appear. More random Minions from all over the net. PAINTING!

After That? - More Supremes and Minions? MONSTERS!!!!!

Pulp City Table

Current State - About 1/3rd of the way made. Including lots of city buildings and useable scnenery. Aswell as

Next - Adding lots more to make a full city centre 4"x4" board. With industrial section, canal, staues, fountain and more.

After That? - Maybe a city park? Or the New Port docks? Or the Heavy Metal tower?

Neverborn - The Dreamer

Current State - A 35SS crew made. Not played yet.

Next - You guessed it, Painting! Pick up the new Twisting Fates book, add more Nightmares. Learn to play!

After That? - Who knows? Been looking at Collodi, Arcanists and Ressers. Want to do an 'Old West' style board with the Sarissa buildings.

These are listed together because they are using the same models.

Pirates + Undead

Current State - 2 Pirate Crews made and 1 Undead made.

 

Next - Im going to need more paints! SHIPS! 3 of them atleast. 1 for each size. Tempted at a second of each in an Undead style. Play the games!

After That? - No idea yet. Will see how the game goes at the local club.

After all that I can come to 2 conclusions.

1- Im going to need to win the lotto

2- Looks like Im painitng for a while.

I know you may think this is abit much to take on but our first child is due very soon so we will be at home alot more. And its not all happening in the next few weeks. This is a long term plan!

So, what are your projects?

What do you think of the above ones?
