Off to the Guardian Cup!

I finally get to play in a full 2-day ITC format tournament and I'm very happy about it.

I've been playing my list and I'm pretty comfortable with it. I do wish I had a few more points here and there but I can't have everything.

Primary: CAD
HQ (warlord): Zhadsnark 'Da Rippa'
HQ: Painboy, bike

Troop: 15 bikers, nob w/pk&bp
Troop: 15 bikers, nob w/pk&bp

Formation: Ghazzy's bully boyz
5x Meganobz, 1xkillsaw
Battlewagon, ram, 2x big shoota
5x Meganobz, 1xkillsaw
Battlewagon, ram, 2x big shoota
5x Meganobz, 1xkillsaw
Battlewagon, ram, 2x big shoota

That's it. It is a super aggressive list that just wants to run over and punch you in the face.  I think I would run 1 big unit of bikes and 2 units of smaller ones but it's kinda late now - don't want to run a list I have not played.

Anyway that's it for this post.

We'll see how it goes.

Showcase: House Hawkshroud Knight Titans

A big commission is now complete (but still one more to go) of a pair of Knight Titans done up in House Hawkshroud colors.

They turned out absolutely amazing and I'm so very happy.  Yellow was done the same way as always: base of Ushabi Bone with layers of Lamenter's Yellow glaze.  The glaze was thinned down and done in only 2 layers as the customer wanted a lighter yellow then the Imperial Fists bikes I did.

After all that was done then came the decals with lots of Micro-Sol.  However I have to say the decals with this kit are just fantastic.  Thick enough not to break but not so thick as to be hard to work with.  Almost no flash around the image as well making it very easy for the areas the decal touches the raised trim.

Anyway, pics!

Showcase: Icy Ork Goff Bikers

Another finished commission.  This time a full unit of Icy Ork bikers with a painboy.

Some of the models have Spellcrow resin heads. They don't fit perfectly on bikes and will work much better on infantry. Some of them just don't fit at all.

I will be using them for a few games and tournaments, as a 2nd unit next to my own bikes.

Tomorrow: another completed commission.

Abandon the old force org. All hail the new formations!

I wanted to try out something completely different tonight. Basically I wanted to play the BullyBoyz in just 1650pts with 3 battlewagons.

This took some doing, for sure. 

After the 15 meganobz with wagons there is less then 650pts left. I couldn't really get in a sold CAD or Ork Horde, so I dug through formations to find something useful. And I found it.

After I had filled out the formation I had a few points left over, just enough for a bare minimum CAD.

This is the list I will play tonight:

Formation: Mogrok's Bossboys (The Red Waggh)
Big Mek (warlord)
-Megarmor
-KFF

Big Mek
-SAG

Big Mek
-KFF

Warboss
-Megarmor

Formation: Ghazghkull's Bully Boyz (Waggh Ghazghkull)
5 Meganobz
-1x Killsaws
Battlewagon, Ram, big shoota

5 Meganobz
-1x Killsaws
Battlewagon, Ram, big shoota

5 Meganobz
-1x Killsaws

Detachment: Combined arms

Troop: 10 grots

This will be the fastest deployment ever for me!

Rebuilding an old scratch built battlewagon.

So this is the first battlewagon I built, shortly after the 4th ed codex came out and before the official GW model.

It's far too wide and too low compared to the stock model. Being too wide makes it hard to deploy and too low means I might get accused of "modelling for advantage". Since I'm a player first, I strive to build all my stuff in line with GW stuff for game purposes.

Last night I tore the entire model apart and started rebuilding it into more of a playable size.

So an xacto knife, a bit of CA and a few hours later:

 Other then a roll bar and a glyph from the trukk kit, it's entirely recycled from the original build.

I'm incredibly happy with it. It's the perfect size of just over 3" tall, just about 4" wide and about 8" long. I was thinking I would have to completely repaint it, but I might be able to get away with just touching it up, at least for now.

I didn't have much left over either!

So now I have 3 playable battlewagons to use for the Bully Boyz.  I plan on painting up a trukk in Bad Moonz to go along with the Meganobz next.

Showcase: More Meganobz

Finished up the last box of Meganobz. I have built and painted 4 boxes of these guys to be able to run Ghazzy's Bullyboz.

Unlike the Bad Moon unit which is set, the other 7 guys are magnetized. 

So that's it for now, more great content coming!

Showcase: Bad Moonz Meganobz

Closing in on a full detachment of Bully Boyz.
