Nice werewolves

Man those WGF boxen are quite like gold. I'd say snatch them up and flog them out over eBay or Amazon even but I think I remember you saying you preferred not to do as such. Not quite worth the 2 hour drive for me to pick them up since I have a box of each but someone somewhere is missing out

The wereshark isn't bad. Mine leans pretty hard to the side but for $3 that's a steal too.

I think you should go for 4 wulfen per large infantry horde. I believe to be a legal multibase per the rulebook you need to have at least 1 model over the next smallest unit size (so a regiment of infantry has to have at least 11 so you know it can't be a troop and so on), so you'll be covering your legality issues and I think being a bit denser like that looks better anyway.

Yea I'm not a big fan of price gougers online, but even selling it a little more than what I paid for it wouldn't really cover the time and shipping cost, so I'll leave them for someone to pick up.

( think four is definitely going to be the route I go with the units. It means I'll HAVE to but more figs though

But I also almost forgot this guy was in the second wave of minis coming from black plague.

So that's one more model to use in the horde. I also forgot the stretch goals unlocked 3 more zombie wolves and another Zombie wolf abombination, so thats a total of 26 zombie wolves to field with this horde. Hopefully we get an update on the shipping times soon.

Plus CMON open day is today (friday-this sunday) and they have 20 new games coming , but most excited about the Massive Darkness game and possibly Chronicles of Hate which will both be unloading tons of awesome minis on us.

Some sick looking werewolves there Theo!

That model is fething cool

@Shaso, thanks, hopefully my painting will make them look good.
@Aov, yea I can't wait for him to show up. Almost bought a copy of Wolfburg from MM just so I could have my zombie wolves already

Well I think I forgot to mention this week that we had a "mission days" celebration at our hospital network. They get all the employees together over one week at about 10 different showings with a motivational speaker and put on a really great show with employees doing songs and sketches and the upper management making presentations. It's done at one of the universities in town here which is somewhat central to all the St. Louis hospitals in our chain. While sitting and waiting for it to begin my wife texted me "Hey isn't tonight your commencement?" ......... I wasn't wanting to go anyways, but it was funny that I was sitting in a university theatre while I should have Ben wAlking across a stage at my university to get my sheepskin and shake my Deans hand . Oh well the most important thing is that I have graduated....at the ripe age of 41 with my B.S. Degree(take the BS for whatever it stands for). During the bus ride back to the hospital someone asked if we knew anyone graduating soon.....I said I just graduated 35 minutes ago, and totally forgot about it .

for all you young'uns out there, get your degree early, plenty of time to paint and game later....unless you get married and have kids

Hey, congratulations on your graduation! 41 isn't that old really, and you got all that life experience on the way there.

I'm looking forward to seeing your herd army. Will you be cranking it out in a month, like the lava ogres?

The herd army probably won't be done in a month, it's already a week in and I've only got models primed and a basecoat on one. I've got too much happening this month, but I'd like to get a good chunk done. Plus I'll need a few more models, but I'm thinking more old confrontation for those.

As for life experience I've been working full time since I turned 8 years old. Family business and all, so 33 years of experience, but I've physically paid for it, now I've got to get some interviews done and find a better job quick to pay these student loans off.

Well this will be the last purchase of any type for some time. Probably should not have bought it, but the deal was too good and it completes what I need for the Herd army.


8 more wolfen prepaints $12
Box of Fel Hammers (8models, 6 will be used in the herd army) $17.50

The Fel Hammers look like some sort of dog/monkey human hybrid, so I think they will fit into the army. As for the Army I think I'll steal a cliche name "NWO" for the army New Were- Order as I'm going to try for all sorts of were-critters in the army with the biggest portion being the Wolfen.

Yeah, yeah Theo. Heard that one before matey .

Some nice minis.

I've assembled the Fel Hammers, they are much smaller than I thought, still slightly larger than man sized, so they will more than likely just be added to the tribals to bulk out those units. while just taller than humans they are about twice the width of a human barbarian figure. I'll try and post pics tomorrow of what they look like.

@AOV, the buying freeze has more to do with actual finances and not a self imposed one. I've been looking for a new job for a little while, but I need to find one in earnest soon. Student loans are a . I've had feelers out there and some interviews, but the positions I want haven't popped up and the offers I have aren't good enough for me to quit what I've got.

Any scale shots if the Fel Hammers would be appreciated Theo. As an aside what is the average student loan Stateside?

Fair enough just pulling your leg

@AOV, better watch out which let you pull, one plays jingle bells....in a most fragrant way
@Thraxas, I'm not sure what average is, but between my BS and my wife's two BSs and her 2 masters degrees it's basically paying another house payment each month.

Scale shots will happen tomorrow.

@ Thraxas, as promised, scale shot.


Left to right: Alkemy (forget their name, but this is a wolf/man, WOK Skorza, WOK Fel Hammer, FW space Marine, WOK Skorza Alpha, and WOK Shieldbreaker

The WOK Skorza is the same height as the Confrontation wolfen, this Skorza is a female so she is more slender than the confrontation wolfen, but otherwise fits the look just the same.

Them's some biiig doggies! Love those Werewolves

Did a quick mock up of an army 1800+ points with no wargear as shown. also no prepaints in here.

3 hordes of Lycans
2 lycan alphas
Avatar of the Father
4 troops of tribal longhorns

I'm thinking of making a totem pole/trophy rack for the army which would bring me closer to the 2000pt total.

Looks pretty sweet dude.

Absolutely no progress here.....

Wife had car repairs $1500
My car decided it doesn't like it's old transmission $$$$$ still waiting for repairs as that happened last night and this morning.

So I spent this morning calling for a rental car......hail storm hit st. louis last night, so all car rental places are without cars....5 hours and I might have a rental tomorrow, but no promises.

Phone interview in a few minutes, not a very promising job, but still in the hospital and better hours, but I don't think that theres a raise with it. It might be worth it to my wife though so she can not be stuck with the kids all day by herself. Anyway it would be a good change of pace and all the insurance stuff would stay the same. At least it could tide me over till I find something else and get me away from my current bosses.

I might get time tonight to paint, but I'm so wiped out that sleep is a real priority.

Hope job stuff goes well and fingers crossed RL doesn't keep causing headaches

Fingers x'd for you buddy! Happy wife= happy life lol. I'm starting to think electric vehicles are more and more enticing. When you think about the amount of parts you have to change for a petrol/diesel it really is an eye opener.

Lycan army is looking pretty neat too

Thanks guys,

@AOV, I'm not a big electric vehicle fan, I like the feel of hitting the gas and the kick you get from it.
@TP^DC, Interview went really well yesterday, only problem is it's not enough money to switch and be stuck in that position for at least 6 months. She said she was really impressed with my answers and is forwarding my resume up the line as she believes that I would make a great partner in the supply chain side where she is instead of an underling. Here's hoping I'm more Gru status than minion material.....though I do like bananas

Did a little painting today, but my silver is all gone bad so i'll just toss down leadbelcher/boltgun metal right now.
here is the avatar of the father of course now I can see the mold line on the leg .

Also still unsure about the basing that I'll do with these guys. I want to do a different theme than the standard wolves and snow approach, so I'm thinking of doing a more grassy plains concept, I'll test one of the smaller figs first to see how that goes.
Also got a female Goritsi done, except for the weapons as I want silver again. I think I'm going to break as many of the common stereo types with these as I can.

These guys will hold silver in the highest esteem, using it for their weapons, armor and decoration. They'll see it as the tears of the moon, which they hold in the highest of regards. The Avatar of the Father is fully wolf now, while the rest of the clan is all half wolf and the tribals will be only be newly inducted members of the clans who are were creatures (wolves, crows, apes, rhinos and just about every other critter I can find).

Well after ordeals yesterday and this morning I have a rental car for the week. A Mitsubishi Mirage. Surprisingly it has more leg room than my SUV does, but it takes getting used to to climb out of it as it rides so low, plus i haven't run it on a highway yet, so i'll see what the get up and go is like.

Looking good, the idea of a werewolf army is very cool and the first paints are coming along nicely!

That Skorza is looking pretty good. I have to admit out of all of the WoK starter box scupts that's the one I like the least but you've done a really nice job with that paint scheme. I'm looking forward to see the rest of the Goritsi.

@Paradigm, thanks, your stuff has blown me away recently, sorry for not commenting much, I have had such little time and I've run out of alternate ways of saying how awesome something looks. Oh and we are more than just werewolves . I'm thinking of making the moon symbol look like the warhammer Tzeentch sign because of the changer of ways.
@Nick, thanks, I don't like the collar on its head or the weapons either on this sculpt, plus all the leather bondage looking clothes on a furry really make me concerned about the line .

Well got to work but all sorts of lights on the rental car were lite up and I've got a call into them about it.

An all-werecreature army sounds like a nifty idea-- much less repetitive than just werewolves. Keep us updated.

Also, good luck with the job hunt.

Have you thought about grassy plain with snow on it? I'm going to do it for an army, just don't know which!

PS Nick commented on the sculpt above, not me, not sure he's bothered, but credit where credit's due
PPS Sorry job wasn't a straight-forward "Welcome aboard!" Situation. Sounds promising though even if there'll be no bananas

Yup I don't really give a damn.

Theophony if the fetishy Goritsi stuff bothers you, I suggest you don't look too much the Nasier range....

Hope the job stuff goes well

Painting is coming along nicely too. I like the idea of silver as tears of the moon. Sounds cool.

Life stuff sounds like life stuff, keep soldiering on sir. Wolf looks great.

The Lycan army looks great so far, and will look awesome once it gets the paint on. I've been planning to do something similar using my prepaints. I'm still disappointed in the RC for not adding some additional Werewolf unit types. The suggestion repeated by the Mantic playtest fanbois was to use magic items to distinguish units that dual wield/have spears/etc. With no mind to the fact that Magic items are unique and can only be picked once per army and that people might want to run more than one unit of spears, or duel wielders, or so forth. I guess I'll have to run an illegal army when I finally build mine in order to have some distinction between the units. (With Undead-Lycan allies, for a bit more variety.)
