I spent over $900 on 7th edition Codices, Supplements and Cards...it burns us.

I hear ya brother... I should take a pick of just the books. I think I picked up the 6th edition special rule set. Hardback.. Useless. Still in mint condition. Never again.

All most all of the books that are now useless. Quite an investment. I’m sure there are many out there like me.


Had some time ( due to raining ) to work on a project I was playing with about 6 months ago.
WIP camera Shots….



Sill a lot of details to do. Gold jewelry, blue flames Teeth and nails, lastly bases. I have 20 of them and the appropriate number of Blue and Brimstone guys in the works ( someday in the future )

A bit more done on the Pink horrors. Here is the most complete to date.. Still a few things to do . a bit of gloss for the tongue and the eyes & some gem work



I haven't decided how to base them yet. I ordered some various texturing modeling pastes to try.

Nice job on the pink horrors. You know there's a Tzeench build that is neigh impossible to defeat...

This is not where I'm going with these. Most of the Tzeench armies are fielding Blue Horrors ( I assume you can get them without having them start pink - I haven't gotten my books yet ) with mass brimstone Horrors for infinite damage absorption.

These 20 (and the appropriate number of Blue & Brimstone ) were for my Chaos army eventual build as summoning in the 7th. I'll stick with trying to build a decent normal list ( and probably get slaughtered ) first.

My concept was Alpha legion (using my HH build ) with lots of cultist and a small TS detachment. Still these were fun to build and paint till all my new army models arrive.

Very Snazzy. Very pink. looking forward to the gems et al!

Pinks are looking great Solar, brimstones with a blue are the cheapest unit that can cast a smite on 5+ with one dice. I think the cost is only 20 pts for a ten model unit. Looking forward to seeing how the rest come out.

Is it so un-defeatable if you are limited to two detachments? I believe it was suggested for match play that 2000 points should be limited to two detachments, which I would think would limit some of the shenanigans.

I'm not sure. I haven't seen the list myself, just know that Ben's been running it & dominating with it. I have a vague idea what's in it but no idea exactly how it's constructed.

The one I saw was 3 detachments. (2000 pts Tzeentch demons by Engio ) is the list thread

Got all my books ( except FW ) so deep into reading. Weekend will be limited in hobby time.

And.... got my first 2 FW books..

Dare not evaluate without knowing how the rules play. Somethings stood out.. Warlord titan .. 70 wounds. Probably right.. just odd to see that stat.

It had 20 hull points and 6 void shields before, so makes sense.

Got my first Game in of the 8th edition. 1000 pts. My Necrons vs Git's Mechanicus. Got crushed. Love the look of massed necron troops marching across the field, but not straight into the Mechanicus gun line.

Like the mechanics of the game but I think army and unit selection plays a bigger portion of the game than the 7th. For sure the new edition did nothing to fix the power lists. I liken it to bringing more FOC's closer to a Quasi Unbound direction. I think match ups in general will be mostly one sided due to the availability of the possible builds. especially in tourneys. I'm thinking nightmarish for the casual player. We'll see as more games get played.

I'm guessing the spontaneous pick up game culture will be rife with only the uber competitive players. If you want a fun friendly game your gonna have to do so pre-work with your opponent.

I'll get a rematch in a couple of weeks.

You visiting Gits this weekend?

No he came up in my neck of the woods for work. When he does we try to get a game in.

Got the next two FW books in the mail on Monday. Imperial and Xeno's. Some Blogs are reporting on a lot of major Errors or bad editing. Still nice to see where they are going with FW models.

Not much painting even with the holidays. Managed to get all 20 Pink Horrors done with the exception of the bases. Need to clear off my photo area so I can take some pics. It still has all the Adepticon swag as well as all the X-wing stuff I went overboard buying. Next up 25 more Necron Warriors and a couple of Ghost Arcs.

Continue to purchase for my new army. I guessed incorrectly on some model counts for some units, so I'll have to re-evaluate and reorder to make it legal.

Wow it's already July. I'm way behind on what I want done this year.

The summer is flying by. I haven't hardly gotten anything painted even though I'd intended not to take a summer break this year. Life happens I guess.

Finished assembling 40 Blue Horrors ( enough to have for the 20 pink horror to split ) and 40 Brimstone. Got the Blues primed, based and washed. Now on to drybrushing.

Was only planning to used them as a TS detachment for my Alpha Legion Chaos SM army. Not sure how to add them to what in the 8th. At this point just getting them out of the que.

You could always use them to play Silver Tower or AoS.

#justsayin

Excellent stuff here! I looked through the whole thread and decided you definitely have too much money and should probably spend it on something better, like a warlord titan. Subbed!

I would like to see a pic of the unit, the example shown is stunning but, really great work.

Yeah but I have to find someone to play with .. sadly paining is all I can manage in the wasteland.

Most Likely these will be used by Yellowbeard before I get a viable reason to field them. He's been wanting to do a Tzeentch demon army for long while. ( but I'm not giving them to him nor did I paint them for him - but he can use them anytime)

Thanks.. Yes I work a lot, yes, a bit too much ( that's why I paint so little and only to table top) .... And for the record you cannot have too much money, only poor money choices. That Said.. my Reaver is probably as far up the food chain I'll go. My Titan is part of a ' Proper' Badab mantiple of which WM holds the principle Titan in our group. Maybe a Warhound someday. I do occasionally feel the need to help/ gift out my fellow Warders. Hopefully I see the result of them actually painting something I sent you ( you know who you are!! )

Yeah.. I do think they turned out well for my standard...As soon as I get more than a few blues to the completed mark I'll get some pic's. I got a little more done this weekend The bodies are done. Tongues ( Orange ) are done. On to the teeth, nails and jewelry.

So my fellow Warders.. I have sent out PM's to you all about attending Adepticon.

So far known attending: Myself, Gits, 2xThings, ChaplainGunther, Joel and Famous Ramos

Waiting for replies: Ice, moon, WM, Yellowbeard, Ritides, MasterA, Briancj, Wyomingfox. Lorek and his lady.

Any one I missed? Doing this off the top of my head at work so ...

PM me.

Lastly.. are you interested in doing the Knight Fight again this year? Not sure I'll be able to get the terrain we had last year but we'll manage if it's a go.

I'm going

I think if Adeptus Titanicus has released by then we should do a "Mini Knight Fight"

Hanging with you all was totally awesome this year, looking forward to seeing you again!

If by knight fight you're including similar Xenos LOW like Stormsurges or Wraithknights

So far I haven't haven't included any Xenos, Depending who is coming there is enough extra Knights to go around.

Likewise.. In lieu of that I'll have to consider another rewrite to bring things in Line with the 8th. I have already made some changes to individual knight Classes to bring them more in line with the intent.

I likely will not be in this time. I can't commit at this point and it seems unlikely I'll get a room later.

So my fellow Warders..attending Adepticon. Getting the band back together!

Attending: Myself, Gits, 2xThings, ChaplainGunther, Joel, Ramos, Wyomingfox, Ritides, MasterA, Lorek and Janet.

Probably: Ice, moon

Probably not: Whalemusic

No Way!:

Undecided: Yellowbeard, Briancj, Cleansing Fire

I'd still like to hear back on if you like to do the Knight fight again ( Note .. New 8th edition rules will be forthcoming )

OK. I got a room with 2 Doubles and a sofa bed at the SpringHill Suites Chicago Schaumburg/Woodfield Mall on March 22-25. If anyone is wanting to split the cost of the room with me I have room for 2 guests.
