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!

Back in action!
Hey guys,
It has been some time since I've last made a post, due to work, school, and life just being too busy. I've finally been able to sit down and work on a few projects this past 2 weeks and I'm feeling productive once again!
I've been putting together a sweet Trollblood army that I'll be taking to Locked & Loaded in June this year, and a small Cryx for a side project.
Next up, I picked up a few new Cryx models. Got a pair of Ripjaws, and a pair of the new Scavengers that just came out last week! I have to say, they're some nice little models. Have yet to try them out, but I'm hoping to get a chance to try them this weekend! For now, the goal is to get some paint on them during the week this week.

For the Trollbloods, I've been working on Epic Madrak, and Gunbjorn. I love the Epic Madrak model, so there wasn't much I needed to do with it, but Gunbjorn on the other hand, well now! I'm not a big fan of Southern/Confederate style hats, even if it's supposed to related to Cygnar (suck it blues!). So I decided to fix it! Being the jarhead I am, there was only one solution. Marine BDU(battle dress uniform) Cap! Oh yea baby!
I'm going to have him painted up with red skin (as all my Trolls are, and mostly all my models lol), with some Desert Digi Camo.

Hopefully I'll get some painting done tonight after work! I'll post again with some result on Wednesday!!
Cheers everyone!

M.I.A!
Hey guys,
Sorry I've been M.I.A. My dad has just recently had surgery, so between that, work, and school, my hands have been a little tied. Haven't had the chance to work on much the past week or so, but hoping to get some models done this week!
Also, our paint and play league is doing very well! Next week we're jumping up to 35 points, and I feel that everyone is pretty excited. There has been a lot, and I mean a lot of games going on at the 25 point level. Our undefeated Khador player just recently lost his first game! Someone had to put Old Witch in her place! lol. I'll be updating the P&P picture section hopefully tomorrow or Thursday as well. It doesn't have a lot of room for me to post pictures, so please click on the link to check out the photo album there!
As for what has been on the work/painting desk the past 2 weeks, I've recently got motivated to work on my Retribution once again. So I have a few models from that line, and a few of my Mercs I'm working on as well. I'm almost done with 1 Regenade for my Magnus Agenda, and I'm probably the only one insane enough to run 4 Manglers with Epig Magnus (c'mon, they're 7 freakin' points!!!) hehehe.
Well I'm off for now, I'm hoping to update again on Thursday (our league night). Until then, good gaming, and cheers!

Monday update! Huzzah!
So we were able to get some games in this weekend for the League, which was great. I've posted some pictures in that section today! Yesterday afternoon I spent a little bit of time painting up Warwitch Denegrah. For the most part, I'm happy how she's come out, granted I wish I had more time to really put the effort I wanted to, but due to time restraints with everything else, I'm happy. I got some WIP pics I'll post at the bottom of this post.
My brother played his first game outside of the Cygnar battle box, and wow, he did a lot better than I expected, and really smacked some face! He is really enjoying the Trencher Commandos a lot, they fit his playstyle. His Stormblades faired ok mostly. In the game he played against me, I knew better and killed the UA officer first chance I had lol. Croe's Cutthroat's did the job quite well :). Sadly in the following two turns, he cleaned the house with them lol. In the end, my Mangler and Talon were finally taken out of action, and MacBain walked around just enough to Hand Cannon Stryker in the face practically! Was pretty fantastic, and there was a lot of positive energy and enthusiam around our table, which just made the entire game wonderful.
Well off to the work table again! Here's some WIP of Warwitch Denegrah! Sorry for the shod pictures, I still don't have a camera yet, I need to buy one. These are taken with my Blackberry Bold 9700.

Weeeeeeee Models! It's paintin' time!
So last night I came a little earlier than usual from the hobby shop, been feeling a little under the weather this week. So I decided to take a count of the models I've gotten to work on since the beginning of December and now. Let's just say it's a little more than I honestly thought, but I'm prepping myself for the challenge of getting it painted!!
