Apocalypse Now (Yesterday!)

Yesterday marked the second Apocalypse 40k game at Battlefront Gaming. It was freaking amazing. There were two teams of three with ~3000 points each. I was with the Forces of Disorder and had the Titan Maniple you see in the first pic, my teammates had 3k of Imperial Guard/Chaos Space Marines, and ORKS! The orks did infinitely better than I ever imagined they would. Especially that squad of Grotz, who just would not die (vs a Dreadnought!) Unfortunately, I didn't get good pictures of that side of the battlefield, as I was slightly preoccupied with my end. My worthy adversaries included another Titan Princeps, commanding a single Warlord and a handful of Stormtalon reinforcements, (who was actually kind enough to allow me the use of a Reaver!) a Tau player who felt the need to NOT run the "cheese list" he came up with with tremendous amounts of Rail Weapons (including Area Denial Nodes, which could have gotten NASTY.) and a Space Marines player (he calls them Salamanders, but they aren't green yet... :P )

Now on to the breakdown of turns:

What a week!

Well, it's been ~13 hours since that last post, and I officially declare myself to be done building titans for now. I didn't finish them all, in fact, I only got one more to the point where I'll be able to use it tomorrow (for a total of two), but that's ok. Chance smiled upon me today, and as it turns out, there will be another Titan Princeps joining the fray, and he was kind enough to agree to allow me to utilize one of his Reaver Titans he ran out of room for. I'll be 50 points under the 3k limit, but I'm totally fine with that.

Power's back!

Forgeworld Rohan, MkI

After ~18 hours of fiddly work, this is what I had done by the Apocalypse game two weeks ago. I ended up reworking a lot of the leg sections (to make them more stable), and have waaaay more to do.

For the last... few months, I've lost the "want-to" to do anything with 40k. I haven't painted anything since before Halloween, and I haven't been able to sit and build anything paper for longer then a few minutes at a time, and the queue is stacking up.

Poll: Paint Scheme

Which paint scheme should I use on the wrecked Warhound? I've finished it and mounted it on its base (along with a hill/pile of dirt structure made of paper towels, which will be later painted and have sand/flock glued on.) Basically, I need a color for the majority of the structure, one for the head, and one for... trim, but I think I want to do caution stripes on the trim, so take that into consideration. So... primary and secondary colors... go! (Also, it will be weathered, because it's been, you know... boom!ed for a while...)

Wrecked Warhound WIP

So I figured now is a good time to take some pictures and what not of this bad boy. I've made some pretty decent progress so far, I'd say I'm about 60% done with it (this estimate may or may not include the crater it will be sitting in...) I still need to do a bunch of plates to break up the large flat areas (not a huge deal, just a bit tedious), and the slatted vents on the back shoulder-thingies (which I'm not necessarily looking forward to.) Also, I need to finish the gun and mount it. Aside from that... It's definitely coming together.

I'm actually kind of sad that I'm making this into terrain instead of an actual model, but such is life... in any case, enjoy the pics:

My humble beginnings

This is the first set of pictures I took once my army was "fully painted" when I started playing (what feels like) ages ago... Also included are pictures of Skoll the Warhound Titan I built from cardstock (my very first Paperhammer model... it shows a bit.)

Insane in the Ter-rain

It looks like I've been bitten by the terrain making bug again...

The Titan Project

Anyone in my gaming group will tell you that I love to kill tiny things with bigger tiny things. Also, they will tell you (at least the ones who have faced Sköll) that I was a big enough jerk to build a Warhound Titan out of cardstock, wooden skewers, and some PVC piping so that I may live out this obsession of killing tiny things with bigger tiny things.
