@Gitsplitta - If I was any good at it I would. Every time I see blood splatters I think more blood for the blood God....

@Knightley - Thanks mate.

Finished the command squad. Still not happy with the banner, I spent 4 hours on it. I tried, done messing with it. Hope y'all enjoy.

May I introduce the WIP of Stompy number II. My current Dread will be moved to my Demi Company and this one will take it's place in my Ravenhawk Assault Group. The goal by the end of the year is to buy 9 Drop Pods and possibly 4 Land speeder storms for the army, not that unrealistic of a goal just will be boring assembling and painting. Then possibly a Command squad on bikes for my Demi Company, I loved how the command squad for my Pinion came out. I spent yesterday putting Tactical, Dev, Assault marine markings on shoulder pads. Reminded why I hate Decals on curved surfaces so much. I'll take and upload pictures later.

Decided to update. I've decided to EBay off my Raven Guard and start a new chapter. Orks, I played Orks in 3rd edition and was going to play them again in 5th or 6th edition but too much cider drinking prevented me from that after my last deployment. I hope y'all enjoy this next chapter.

And the circle of Warhammer addiction starts again...
It's a shame, after all the work you've done for the RG. But the orks should be exciting!

Looking forward to the greenskins

Been awhile since I have updated, have been busy painting, real life shinnagans, and lurking forums. Wish I would of kept up but happy with the results of how they turned out. Fulfilled my image of the Army. Took them to a tournament and went 2-1, loads of fun and laughs.

Overall took me about a month and change to paint them. The pictures below the Army shot are WIP. Hope y'all enjoy!

Thanks y'all! Finally got a new phone and the camera is awesome! I had to convert my Gorkanaut into another Morkanaut. Also a picture of my Warboss I'll never use less, I just love the model.

After going 0-5 at the Alamo GT, I started hammering list out with a friend till we figured out I could fit a Big Mek Stompa in my list at 1850 while keeping the Dread Mob. Have been busy rebasing all my guys with new bases and selling stuff on eBay to fund projects.

Drew inspiration and looted ideas from Spikey bits and saved myself 150$ converting a Big Mek Stompa with all plastic parts. Still WIP, hope y'all enjoy!

Any pics/reports from the Alamo GT, or would you prefer to forget it?

Stompa looks great so far.

@EDC - I wish I had of taken pictures. It was my first GT, I knew about a quarter of the people there. Saw a friend I hadn't seen since my second deployment which was awesome to catch up!

My first game was against a Lions Blade company, first two turns I could hit but couldn't penetrate, was awful. Multiple grenade attacks and rolling 2 1's to wound against his sergeant killed my Gorkanaut in Close combat. Same exact scenario with my CC dreads. Full BS grav overwatch was death to my Dreads as well. Was awful, opponent was great but dice killed me. I knew I was in for a long day when first game my tape measure broke.

Second game vs Eldar and a reaver titan. He seized initiative I was bunched up, 4 D Templates killing half my army and both Morkanauts pretty much game over after turn 2.

Third game vs Grey Knights, I was unfamiliar with Dread knights, made the mistake of charging single dreads and pop they go then after that charging my morkanauts and remaining dread and it was just ugly. Lucky pen rolls blew them up etc.

Fourth game vs Salamanders and Nemises Strike Force. My dice had returned but I got overwhelmed at the end by his 4 Storm Talons. Epic fight was my Mega Armor Big Mek getting out to fix a kan klaw then charging his librarian and killing him was epic!

Fifth game vs Ultra Company he seized intiative and switcherooed his scouts that infiltrated with his death star and librarian conclave and charged turn 1... I couldn't roll pens or wounds. The sides were almost unpassable and created a choke point for my Dreads and kans to get to him. Was awful again.

I had a blast at the tournament. I've made a lot of tweaks. Learned a lot, I had only played this army 3 times before the GT. I went to have fun and fun I had. I had never faced Dark Angels, Eldar or Grey Knights. D3 HOW Attacks are awesome and 'ere we go saved me on a lot of failed charges.

Finished adding more base coat to the arms and head of the Stompa.

Finished my Big Mek Stompa! One of my favorite models to date now. Still going to go back and may do some touch ups but very happy how it turned out.

Edit: Glad I took pictures. I see some plastic that needs covering up

Have been touching up my Dread Mob and redoing the bases. Touching up a lot. These are my WIP/Finished shots. I've been slowly doing my grots to all be unique. I've been working on my Stompas lifta droppa arm, still touching up but much happier. 4 layers of yellows including wash and dry brush later....

The second picture of the three Big Meks is what I've been working on.

@Gitsplitta- Thanks, means a lot coming from you!

@Anpu-adom- Thanks!

I wasn't happy at all with the Painboy model, bought the old school version and wife liked the old Painboy head and new Painboys body. I realized one of his fingers broke, not sure how that happened but made a second light for him! He's not very photo genic, his eyes look horrible in the picture, touched up the yellow and skin but group shot of my Meks and Painboy and then just my Painboy. Starting work on my display board now to match my bases. Have a local ITC tournament next weekend.

@EDC - Thanks! Wish I could take better pictures of him. Not sure why my new phone turns all the images sideways then if you click they are normal. Wrote up kind of a battle report for you EDC.

Started working on my movement tray. Lots of fun prepping
Started texturing this morning.

@Gisplitta- Thanks and your wish is my command! It was a blast to finish and assemble.

Easy to move figures and fits my 1850 list perfectly. I went for a Armageddon city type approach.

Also I wanted more dynamic grot slavers so I am working on those now. Had to do an ear transplant!

@Gisplitta- Thanks, not exactly what probably came to mind when I posted the WIP.

Last night my wife came to me and said she was embarrassed of her painting and wanted me to touch up her models. I am trying to keep her original work intact so I am going to use it as a base coat basically. She has about 1500 points of Harlequins. Nice break from Orks. I have never painted any Eldar, Dark Eldar or Harlequins. They are The Dreaming Shadow.

First thing I wanted to do was add a dual tone to the Starweavers and Skyweavers. Picture is a WIP.

@Gisplitta- Yes indeed, I have never painted pretty before.

This is going to be more of a WIP than the rest of my blog. When I get so enthralled in models I forget to go step by step. This is more of a side project and labor of love. Someone wanted me to commission paint a Knight and I turned it down because I do not paint bright Red like captain america...

So my WIP so far are the dual colors on her weavers. These models are beautiful, I did not realize how amazing they were when I started. Next phase is getting inking done and highlighting. I'm debating what colored ink on the teal. I'm thinking a green ink because I want it to be a green/teal effect. I have to figure out what to do with the Shurikan Cannons. She wants to keep them Gold which I'm going to do but maybe paint the backs a different color.

I did both a flash and non flash. So y'all can get an idea. She isn't a bad Painter, in some ways I envy her work since she has only been painting for the last year. As I said before, going to keep most her work just do some duel tones and clean up and highlight.

Really wanted some kind of force field generator on the Big Mek Stompa since it does get d6 shields and touch up the KFF on my morkanaut. I love the new copper color.

Somehow a bits order has been lost for the past week, never have had issues with the company, not there fault it's lost in Atlanta, so I had to act fast and convert for this Saturdays local ITC tournament, I was not happy with how the initial prototype came out so have been working on it adding armor plates etc. I know it's a job well done when my wife says it looks good.

Running a CAD and Dread Mob formation again hoping that the Stompa will make a difference.

CAD

Big Mek - Grot Oiler
2x 10 Grots with Slaver
Buzzgobs Big Mek Stompa- Deff Kannon

Dread Mob

Big Mek- Grot Oiler
Painboy
2x3 Killa Kans- Rokkits
1x3 Killa Kans- Big Shootas
2x1 Deff Dread- 2 Rokkits
1x1 Deff Dread- 2 Big Shootas
Morkanaut- KFF
Morkanaut

All the Big guys will have Big Meks to repair. Will be fun!
