Well, better late than never!
Hey guys,
I'm doing horrible at trying to keep up with posting twice a week, I know, fail lol. But I have been trying to get a few things done. I've been wrapping up the last details for the Warmachine Weekend Qualifier I'm running here in Houston, on August 27th, and also putting the finishing touches on the Paint and Play league I'm running that starts next week. Both events are in the clear now, and I can rest easy for the moment.
As for models, I've completed my 15 point army for fielding in the Paint and Play! Here's the list:
15points - Privateers! - Shae's Theme force - A Pirate's Life
Cap'n Shae - +6 WJ pts
-Freebooter - 6 pts
-Mariner - 8 pts
Pressgangers - Min Unit - 4 pts
Doc Killingsworth - 1 pt
First Mate Hawk - 1 pt
Bosun Grogspear - 1 pt
His theme list makes solo's 1 point cheaper, which is totally awesome. I was tempted to drop the Mariner and take the Commodore Cannon, a Buccaneer, and Dirty Meg. But I thought it'd be a little overkill at such a small game, and really didn't want to discourage people from playing me lol. That cannon is pretty menacing, a lot of people just don't know it lol.
I chose my 3 solo's for support with the Pressgangers specifically for what they do to make the Pressgang unit more effective. First Mate Hawk gives them an additional damage dice, which is always nice. Pressgangers are Tough, add the Bosun to them, they're immune to knock down in his CMD range, which can make or break em' and doesn't free up line of sight for my opponent, Doc gives them 4+ Tough rolls instead of 5+, giving them a 50/50 survival rate!
I'm happy with the list at the moment, if it turns out I need to put the Commodore in, I'll find out after a few games to see if I need the extra hitting power over the Mariner. Here's a snapshot I took last night, I've started to put a little paint onto Shae, and I'm hoping to get some more base coats on him tonight, we'll see lol.
Sorry for this post being a little short guys, I'm going to try and get another update in by the end of this week. And I'm trying to scrounge up some time so Plarzoid can give me a hand in revamping my page, so fingers crossed!
Cheers!

Quick Update!
Hey guys!
This is just a quick update, been busy the past few days since getting back from Lock and Load! Going to update this weekend with a post, and thanks to Plarzoid, a revamp of the blog!
Lock and Load was awesome as well! The tournaments, the casual play, and the Seminars were fantastic! Not to mention, my close friend, and LGS Owner, Will Pagani, brought home the 2011 Masters Championship!!! Our club, the Texas Renegades, has become quite popular now, we had 4 of our guys, out of 16 players, in the Masters Tournament. How awesome is that?!
Well back to work right now, I'll be posting a few of the pics I snagged from L&L and the new WIP shots of what I'm starting to work on as well here very soon!!!!

Lock & Load is right around the corner!!!!!
Hey guys!
I know I haven't really updated this in a very long time. I've hit a modeling slump and it's been kind of rough to get out of. Luckily, the past two weeks have helped, with the excitement that comes with conventions. I already knew I was going to Lock and Load since they announced it, and the fact it wasn't too far off in the future motivated me to at least get the army I was taking finally assembled!
My army decision was totally based on the fact I like the Kromac model, and I also played him in Mk1 Warmachine/Hordes. I was goofing off around the game shop a little over two weeks ago and then it hit me. I should totally take a Kromac list to L&L since I love that model so much! I'm a huge fan of the Tharn model range, I guess it's just something about the savage and barbaric nature to them, it really appeals to me.
Here's a little pic of Kromac and his warpack!
I still have to decide on a second caster, and it was a tough choice, it's two days away, and I'm still deciding between Mohsar and Epic Kaya, I like Mohsar more but my list composition changes quite a bit to a point where it doesn't suit my play style. Still working out the play testing bugs on that though (we've been practicing everyday for about two weeks now lol).
I know this is a short post, but playing everyday the past few weeks has greatly given me the motivation I needed again to go full swing in the hobby again. So stay tuned after this coming weekend, I'm going to revamp my page a little bit, add a convention album section (hell yea, L&L pics!), going to redo the army list section I was trying to work on, and post up the new Paint and Play League I'm going to run in July. The last one I ran earlier this year was such a hit, that I've been getting numerous questions if I'm going to run another and how people were wanting in on it. My goal for the rest of this month, and July, is to post every Monday, and Thursday at the very minimum, regardless of it's nature, being just a little painting, or a full blown mod.
I'm also going to do a little raffle in a way. I know my buddy Plarzoid has done one, and I think it could work for me as well. I know I've only got 4 followers right now, you guys rock by the way, thanks for continually being there! My goal is to have 20 consistent followers by the end of July. If I can accomplish this, some lucky follower is going to get a limited run cast of the Resin Sorscha produced by Privateer Press. You know, this one: http://store.privateerpress.com/sorscharesinkit.aspx
I won't be posting again until after this weekend, gotta finish getting models ready this evening, and get a few more games in. Not mentioning still have to pack, as we leave Friday morning to head out to Seattle! I will see you guys Monday night, with a new post, and stories from Lock and Load!!
Cheers,
Cody

Distractions....and Cigars!!
Heya guys!
Well, I won't lie, it's been busy with work and school (finals last week and this week), but that's no excuse! I've been a little lazy in what spare time I've had, and feel free to smack me with the lazy stick.
I have been working on the Khador list I'm taking to L&L Hardcore next month, running out of time to get it painted, along with working on a few Piggies(go minions!). I'm going to leave a few spaces to insert pictures tonight, forgot my bloody camera at home (at work right now). But I've started working on Rorsh and Brine, which are just awesome models! Not to mention he's got a cigar, which is hands down awesome.
<insert picture here>
I've been a huge cigar connoisseur for many years now, and it's one of the many things that attracts me to the few models in the PP range who have them! So, I've decided, if I can get off my lazy butt, to make little cigars for my Minions army! How cool is that?! There all going to have little hand rolled smokes! w00t! I'll eventually think of a Farrow-ish name brand to call them, but that's still on the drawing board for now.
I've got a few ideas for some bases, I'm planning to have resin bases for this lot, but will be altering them some (yay for a dremel!) and adding a mix of water effects to the bases. I'm hoping to get a trial/test one done by next week, and would love to get your thoughts on it when that happens.
Army list wise for the 50pts I have planned, I have both of the Farrow Warlocks, I like Carver, don't get me wrong, his sword his awesome, and he's a tough looking Farrow who doesn't take any crap. But I'm really inclined to Arkadius, I like his spell list, and the fact he likes to engineer warbeast and such hehe, so he'll be my main focus. I'm currently feeling that 2 Warhogs and 1 Gunboar feel reasonable for his battle group, I might end up running 2 of each should I feel the need. Here's kinda the rough list I'm leaning towards right now:
Arkadius +6
-Warhog - Pigfat 8pts
-Warhog - Baconbitz 8pts
-Gunboar - Shake N' Bake 5 pts
Min Brigands - 5pts
Min Brigands - 5pts
Min Bonegrinders - 2pts
Razorback Crew - 3pts
Razorback Crew - 3pts
Saxon Orrik - 2pts
Rorsh & Brine - 9pts
Leaving me about 6 pts, which hopefully a unit of Slaughterhousers will cost, but I can always make adjustments. The idea is that the Razorback Crews and the Brigands will Dig In, and the Razorback Crews will grant fire support to the Brigands. The Bonegrinders are there to support Arkadius (+2 spell range) and cast Aggression Dial should I need to when one of the Warhogs die, and maybe use Arcane Bolt should the chance be given. Rorsh and Brine are there to give flanking support, plus a little extra hitting power. I've included Saxon to help with Pathfinder on a unit, so I don't have to use one of the Brigand Shaman's prayers, that way I can get Tough/Fearless, with Pathfinder :). And not to mention he can help finish up carving an enemy warbeast should I be fighting Hordes, and take pot-shots with his rifle.
Alrighty fella's, I'll be adding the WIP shot of Rorsh this evening when I get home, and I really hope to stay on target this time around, now that life seems to be giving me a breather.
Cheers!

egads..
Time always gets away from me! Sorry for no update in the past 2 weeks lads, life has well, been life, and always busy! I have however been in the mood to play some Menoth lately. I've been rambling about it for about 2 years now to a few of my friends about a Testament list, and well, the other day I went and bought it lol.
I have a big weekend coming up (Good Friday and Easter) and plan to do a lot of building and painting. Sorry for no pictures right now sadly.
Here's what I'm running at the moment, subject to change after play testing of course.
Testament of Menoth
-Reckoner
Avatar of Awesomeness(ok ok, Menoth)
Cleansers - min unit
Exemplar Errants - full unit with UA
Choir - min unit
Covenant of Menoth
I have a lot more I've already decided on adding to the list, but that's what I managed to pick up, and figured I wouldn't overwhelm myself to the building and painting in one weekend lol. My goal is to get the Testament and the Choir done by Friday and to start the Cleansers Saturday and hopefully finish them off Sunday evening. I'm not going for the normal OCD painting standard I usually enforce on myself, so that I can actually have some painted models on the table, rather than just one model painted lol.
But I'll post again tomorrow with WIP shots!
Cheers!

A little late, but better than never!
Hi guys!
Running a little late with the post for this week, and from mid last week. I tried, but a few things got in the way. But to the good stuff now!
As per previous comments, Supportbyfire, I have yet to try a digi camo scheme yet. I had something whipped up with the airbrush, but the prep time on the test model was more than I wanted to spend on an entire army! lol. I might end up going with a easy tan desert scheme sadly. But I'm still going to try a few different experiments to see if I can at least get a nice blended or sprayed on camo blend.
This past weekend I managed to set up a little painting station, rather than painting on my TV Tray as usual. I rather like it, gives me a lot more space, for painting and modeling.
I also picked up a few more Cryx models for the army I was going to do for the Online Gaming Journal on the PP Forums. Sadly I haven't see much of it on there yet, as I believe it was postponed, but hopefully it'll come up again and we can start it! Otherwise I might just have to start painting these models before then!
I managed to get Epic Skarre, and some Satyxis Blood Witches. Sadly they didn't have any Raiders in stock, not for a while too :(, I was hoping to get some of those as well for a small Skarre force. I managed to get a Malice (upgrade kit and plastic kit together) for a fairly cheap price, couldn't resist! So I might give it a try as well, model wise, I like the look, rules don't see that bad either.
I also worked on Epic Doomshaper some over the weekend. Almost got the skin tone where I want it. Hopefully I'll get to work on him a little more this week as well. Sorry for the poor lighting, now with the bit of extra free time I have, I'm going to get a light box set up hopefully this weekend.
Again I'm hoping to update this again by the weekend, trying to motivate myself more and post at least twice a week rather than once a week. Slowly getting there!
Until next time lads, cheers!
