What are you doing today hobbywise?

The spell is in the Warriors of Chaos book, can't find it listed online but got this bit from the 1d4chan tactics page. " If you roll 11 or 12 for the strength, it’s Strength 10 and does 3D6 hits"
The spell is unreliable as it's one of the stronger ones but he was always lucky to pull off the spell.

 

I have the WoC rulebook so just looked it up. Jeeez.

How was he spamming it though? Per the BRB he can only cast once per phase...

 

Unless my mind is going crazy but all I keep thinking how he casted it more than once per turn. Unless my mind mashed all the phases together as it was about 5 years ago. Then I never had the rulebook, still haven't now, he had the rulebook and I was new at the game, so not sure if he was cheesing it, or never saw that part.
The only guy who will know is the old store manager, depends if he still works at the place he moved to, which is another game store. He will probably give me tips how he is a fan of the Elves.
Do want to go there at one point to browse possible conversion stuff.

 

He was definitely cheating if he was casting it multiple times a turn!!!

Well, whenever you have your list, give me a shout and I'll give whatever advice I can think of.

 

On this forum in the General Hobby Chat thread? I'd be interested to see them as the 9th Edition release for them looks so promising

 

Interesting that multiple units of Destroyers are more viable in 8th, because in 5th and 6th Destroyers are so expensive for 1-wound models that you can't really afford to have more than 1 unit, or else your army will become too small and suffer too much from the loss of your Destroyers (I actually only found this out when I played with my Space Marine-fan uncle last summer).

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do to boost units like Lychguard in 9th, because those chaps deserve some love again.

 

I might ask my current store manager, he might remember. I think he was around when 8th was still a thing in stores.
At the moment in my Dark Elves army it's mainly Corsairs as the core, with the Dreadlord on Dragon, Hydra, Cold Ones. Got some other stuff.
I have to do 6th edition lists first, and the Elves are weaker in that edition.
I actually did get my own back when we did a game of AoS. Dread Saurian. Wiped out a unit of ten. He hated it.

Meanwhile for what I done for hobby today, the slow process of painting the exposed muscles on the Dire Wolves, got 8 to go and then to the next set of highlights all over again.

 

Even while working on other projects, the gears are turning on how to make the skaven version of TF2's Heavy Weapons Guy into a playable miniature for the tabletop (and no, I don't want this being another stormfiend). My immediate thoughts go towards using a blood bowl rat ogre with a stormvermin head as the base (evidently some comically 'roided-out skaven gunner with pinhead syndrome) and making use of a spare set of ratling cannon barrels I have left over from a previous stormfiend build.

ADDENDUM: skaven war machines seeing further progress. The Warp Lightning Cannon I assembled back in December is finally glued to the base and awaiting priming, and the Doomwheel is nearly ready to be painted in sub-assemblies.

On the subject of the Doomwheel, I went for a brief walk in the park today to find either a suitably-sized rock or rock-looking piece of bark for its base, the idea being that it's about to launch itself using the rock as a ramp. Couldn't find any suitable rocks, but this piece of bark looked about right for my purposes. Currently waiting for both the scenery glue and superglue to finish curing.

 

More work on the Doomwheel, or more accurately its base. Filled, sealed, and painted.

Doomwheel partially assembled for demonstration.

 

I painted the remaining two Saurus Warriors of the SCB Seraphon and started my first Dryad

See my blog for pictures

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Managed to get a round of airbrushing done outside this afternoon before the overcast started rolling in.

 

@ChapterAquila92 warpstone yes yes. Looking fun!

working on more T'au and guardsmen to get a break from my lumpy lizerds.
So far so good

 

Had a flash of inspiration, while inebriated, on how I'm planning to build the taurox primes for my Imperial Guard army, so I built up this bare-bones proof of concept for an automated turret.



I may in the future get a proper BMPT-style turret going with missile tubes on the side and the autocannons twin-linked and centerline, but that will be when I'm sober.

 

Got my 3D printed Carno in the mail!
A bit larger to fit on a 50x50 base, will have to sort it out.


Later on I will see if a Saurus will fit on top

 

Spent much of the day painting this shrike talon for my Corvus Cabal warband in WarCry.




Chaos Black primer, Grey Seer pre-shade, and the rest of the work was largely done using Seraphim Sepia, Agrax Earthshade, Drakenhof Nightshade, and Nuln Oil. The rock was done much like the one on the Doomwheel's base (Basilicanum Grey, Agrax Earthshade, drybrushed Mechanicus Standard Grey).

 

Due to it being nearly a year since my concussion, and I am almost fully returned to my normal working hours I thought to spoil myself with a visit to the semi-local GW tomorrow.

Deciding on what to buy.

Either
- 2 or 3 Start Collecting boxes to boost the Start Collecting Box-off battles
Or
- Savage Orruk Morboys, Savag Orruk Boarboy Maniaks, Ironjawz Brutes and 1 Start Collecting Box.

What do you guys think?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Option two is heresy!
