<br />
Slowly, but the terrain project is moving along. I now have all painting finished on the hills, forests and swamps. I have also poured the Water Effects in the swamps. Now I only need to add static grass to everything and we will have 12 pretty decent terrain pieces added to the collection. <br />
<br />
Above you can see the hill after spraying with a couple of cheap spray paints and drybrushing with a lighter color. I used cheap acrylics from Wal-mart for all these for cost effectiveness. I am debating on adding some inks and giving another quick drybrush before adding grass, but I may just leave as is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Above are the forests bases ready for static grass and completion. I do have a lot of trees that need basing, but they will be fine with stock bases for a while. I think they'll stand up ok, I just want to add some 40mm bases and paint as above to match. Some of them will be added to swamps and maybe hills for variety in games, so I need to keep the cohesiveness of scheme throughout.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFPAszUmnKw/UClkZlB8E_I/AAAAAAAAAyE/Y25AAXQLbFs/s1600/swamps+paint.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFPAszUmnKw/UClkZlB8E_I/AAAAAAAAAyE/Y25AAXQLbFs/s400/swamps+paint.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Above are the swamps after paint, but before Water Effects. After painting and drybrushing sand, I used some cheap acrylic paints to add varying colors to water area. I also glued down some clump foliage and grass tufts before pouring. This gives the water a little vegetation and some realism. In hindsight, I should have just stuck these in the Water Effects after pouring and would have gotten the same effect. The Water would have held them in place fine after drying.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-4jh7n9v0E/UClkamO0TTI/AAAAAAAAAyM/E5biJCrzlCc/s1600/swamps+w+clear.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-4jh7n9v0E/UClkamO0TTI/AAAAAAAAAyM/E5biJCrzlCc/s400/swamps+w+clear.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The swamps above have been poured with two layers of water effects. You can't really see much difference in this picture, but really it's there. Another thing I would do differently would be to use the opposite side of the mdf board for anything with Water Effect. The textured side absorbed the first layer and even with a second there are some bumps from wood showing in paint. The smooth side would have been much better at making this look more realistic. <br />
<br />
I hope to start flocking these with some static grass soon, but really need to purchase more before starting. I would like to keep it consistent throughout, so mixing multiple batches wouldn't be ideal. I'll probably get some more before starting and mixing with current batch to get a cohesive look.<br />
<br />
I'll keep the terrain updated as I get more complete. I hope to get a start on the Tower of Sorcery and the Skullvane Manse soon. ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-42433331739978569652012-07-24T09:35:00.001-04:002012-07-24T09:35:58.393-04:00Tale of Only Two Gamers: Terrain Ready for Paint<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a few more days than I had planned, the terrain is ready for some paint. I spent an evening of sanding and adding spackling paste to seams. The next day was more sanding. I then decided to add some mdf board to the terrain pieces above. I also cut some more shapes for use as forests and swamps as you can see below. I then beveled the edges and glued down the hills I had made for towers. After weighing these down with pots/books overnight, it was more spackle, more time, more sanding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, on Sunday it was time for adding sand. I mixed up white glue and water as normal and added sand. Letting this dry I then covered everything in a really watered down glue to seal everything. The Skullvane Manse above caused some trouble with foam pulling away from mdf, so as you can see it took an extra day to get to the same point(did the sand last night). See below for more.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a few skulls and rats and bits to the two main terrain pieces to give a little extra to look at. I will probably use a little Water Effect around this guy for a little sewer rat action.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It took a little longer than expected, but after some paint time and static grass we should have a table full of terrain. The hills, forests and swamps are built with the plan to use in any games of 40k, Warmahordes, Old West, etc. This will be nice to have a big set of varied terrain ready to go for many game systems. I'm not sure when I will get around to painting. Hopefully, get some primer down this week and then some quick spray painting and drybrushing, it should be a pretty quick finish for everything except the two tower pieces. These will involve lots more painting time and will have to wait until a game day, so I will have some help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's all for now. I'll get some more pics up as these progress and some more shots of the Stir River Patrol.</div>

<br />
I have a little time in the evenings this week without the family and have turned some attention to our Fantasy terrain collection. We still have a lot of work to do if we want a table full of decent painted terrain. So, I decided to add hills to our GW terrain and build four other random hills. The hills will also pull double duty in our 40k games. <br />
<br />
Sunday evening, I cut out the shapes with a hobby knife and glued the layers together using Elmer's White Glue. After applying the glue I grabbed a bunch of pots and books and weighted the layers for a few hours. Last night I got out the hot wire cutter and roughed the shapes some more, tapering the edges and getting some cliff sections made. <br />
<br />
Tonight I plan on doing a bit of sanding to get everything smooth and ready for basing material. After the initial sanding I plan on using some body filler to fill any gaps between layers. After this dries I will sand once more and add white glue and sand on most of the surfaces. Next will be another watered down layer of white glue to seal the sand and any exposed foam before painting and static grass.<br />
<br />
I know these are pretty rough now, but I hope to get everything except the painting done on these before the end of the week. I am also painting furiously during breaks at work and making progress on the Stir River Patrol. I have completed the 10 Handgunners and have a decent start on 15 of the Halberdiers. I will get some good pics of the handgunners and get them posted soon.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-5377829032116273172012-07-04T08:18:00.000-04:002012-07-04T08:18:08.153-04:00Tale of Only Two Gamers: Empire Handgunner WIPs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I took a few quick WIP shots of the Handgunner unit I'm working on over the weekend. The first 3 pics are of my test model. I have since purchased the new GW Base: Ceramite White and have redone the white on this guy. I also purchased GW Base: Averland Sunset and repainted the silly looking feather on this guy to a darker, dirtier yellow, more indicative of Stirland. I have also brightened up the green on the uniform to match the unit below. He was a little darker than I wanted. </div>

Since these pics were taken I have finished the feathers for entire unit and put the first coat of white on left side of all uniforms. Ceramite White is awesome, if you haven't tried it, get some now if you have any white. I am covering black undercoat with only 2 coats for full coverage. I should finish them before the weekend. My only obstacle now is figuring out how to paint white without making it so flat. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. I am tempted to just dirty them up a lot, to make up for flatness, but I will entertain any ideas. I will get out the lightbox for better photos once the unit is completely finished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have found my only painting time to be on break while at work, so I get about 40-50 minutes per day(broken up into 3 - 15 minute sessions). This is way more than I would get at home without being disturbed, so I think the goal of painting up 2,000 pts by the end of the year is very possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you can tell from the pics I am taking the easy route on these guys. Most parts are just basecoat, highlight, wash, then move on. Even so, I am happy with the results so far and think the army will look good on the table. I will add another layer of highlighting on front rank models and do a more intense layering technique for characters, while keeping a cohesive look, I hope. Warm machines and crews will also get better treatment. If everything goes well, I'll be jumping into the Halberdiers next week, hoping to complete unit in two to three weeks.</div>

Saturday, we got together for our second monthly game day. No gaming this time, just building terrain for Warhammer Fantasy and some painting lessons for <i>reklawsj</i>. I built(well partially built) the Tower of Sorcery. My box was missing one of the 4 pieces for top, so it is incomplete, a call to GW Customer Service will hopefully fix this. Jeremy built the Skullvane Manse. He left the top part interchangeable. We also have plans to add mdf bases and styrofoam hills to give them an even taller presence on the field. The Temple of Skulls below was already built.<br />
<br />
I put an Empire Handgunner on the bridge to show immense size of these terrain pieces. They are huge, really, pics do them no justice if you have never seen these in person. <br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> I also purchased the Woodland Scenics Trees shown below as well as some Water Effects. I was able to get the 38 trees for less than 50 bucks online(Hobbylinc). After we make some mdf forest and swamp bases, these will bulk out the terrain on the board.</span>

The first part of the day was spent working on <i>reklawsj</i>'s Marauder color scheme and doing a few paint lessons. He has now completely painted his first ever model. We did basecoating, highlighting, drybrushing, and washing. Now he has all the tools he needs to get his guys painted up, and hopefully some pics up soon to show the first couple test models we completed. Next I will go over some basing techniques to really make them stand out with minimal effort. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are both trying to get our first 500 pts painted up and on the table in August. In a couple days I should have my first 10 Handgunners completed and have a good start on the Halberdiers. Next game day will be more terrain stuff to get ready for first games.</div>

Not much in this post, except the great deal on the trees that is. Next time, real painted models, I promise.</div>ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-36021532756198394652012-06-04T13:17:00.001-04:002012-06-04T13:17:27.090-04:00Tale of Only Two Gamers: Empire Ready for Paint<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After changing my list again, I now have my first 500 pts of Empire built, based and primed. I spent some time looking through Empire army book and the Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire to decide my color scheme. I am pretty set on the Stir River Patrol, which are always shown with quartered green and white. While I like the green and white, I think I will just do halved uniforms instead of pulling my hair out trying to quarter the uniforms on these guys. I have a little over two months to get these guys painted and ready for the table. I am not building any more Empire models until that goal is accomplished. Check out my new army list and a few closeups below.<br />
<br />
Empire Captain<br />
Engineer<br />
20 Halberdiers with Full Command<br />
Detachment of 10 Handgunners<br />
Hellblaster<br />
<br />
That's around 495 pts I think. Mainly did some switching around to lower the model count for first leg of army completion. <br />

So, that's it so far. I'm hoping to get the test model completed this week and get my recipe ironed out. After that I will start batch painting one color at a time, some of this during breaks and lunch at work. Luckily, for the time being I am actually working 40 hrs a week instead of 50-60 so I have Fridays off, which gives me some family-free time to work on these guys. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are also joining funds to get some Fantasy terrain built and painted during the next couple game days we have. So far we have Temple of Skulls, Tower of Sorcery and Skullvane Manse(going to get Fortified Manor kit soon). We are also going to make some forest bases and some hills. Hopefully, we can complete a table full of painted terrain before the first game. I can't wait to start playing Warhammer with a painted army and table full of great terrain again.</div>ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-89599418912992657242012-05-25T09:57:00.003-04:002012-05-25T09:57:36.580-04:00Tale of Only Two Gamers: Empire are here!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I finally sold enough Orcs & Goblins to get my Empire army ordered, at least the beginnings. I put in this order to the Warstore on Monday and had a box full of goodies on my porch Thursday afternoon. Awesome.<br />
<br />
To get started with the army, I ordered 2 Battallion Boxes(40 State Troops, 20 Handgunners/Crossbowmen, 2 Cannons/Mortars, and 16 Knights(for sale). I also ordered a Wizard box, a Hellblaster Volley Gun and the new Griffon model, which will be an Amber Wizard on Two Headed Griffon in bigger games. I just had to have the Griffon, as it is awesome and huge. I also bought the 8th edition rulebook, a couple army books I am missing from collection and some misc items(mostly Army Painter Tufts and a couple paints and magnets).<br />
<br />
I have finalized my 500 pt list and will hopefully make some progress building some this weekend during our first "Monthly Game Day". So here is the list:<br />
<br />
Captain - 60 pts<br />
<br />
Warrior Priest - 65 pts<br />
<br />
Halberds x 25 with Full Command - 180 pts<br />
<br />
Detachment - Handgunners x 10 - 90 pts<br />
<br />
Mortar - 100 pts<br />
<br />
495 pts<br />
<br />
I know I should drop one character and get more dudes, but I purposefully did this so I could get this army together and painted a little quicker. Our rule of having only painted models during "Tale of Only Two Gamers" will be a tough task if we want to play games this year, haha. Our current plan is to play our first Fantasy games in August, so I really have to get cranking. I have about 10-12 weeks, so I'm hoping to get 3-4 models per week painted, which will be tough when I throw in the fact they are all still on sprues.<br />
<br />
And I have a small predicament. I really want to build my Stir River Patrol themed army, easy enough, except I really want to build them as an Undead Stir River Patrol themed army. I could then use the Core from my Empire army as the core of Skeletons for a Vampire Counts army(which I would really like to have). This would save me cash for sure and be a cool theme I could carry through two armies. I think with prices going up, we gamers will need to start coming up with ways to make our money go further, like building an Undead Empire army that doubles as a Vampire Counts army with only a few additional models needed. So, this means I need to build and convert EVERY model and have painted in 10-12 weeks. Like I said, tough, especially with 50 hour work weeks, wife, two children(ages 1 and 4), and a garden.<br />
<br />
So, what do you think? Should I just build an Empire army and forget about the VC, or go ahead and convert with Skellie bits(I have plenty of skellie and zombie bits) to make a dual-themed army? I would love to know what you think about the Undead Empire idea and how you would go about converting these minis.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-9990915493262503272012-05-15T17:09:00.000-04:002012-05-15T17:09:57.011-04:00Tale of Only Two GamersIn order to kickstart the hobby again for us, <i>reklawsj</i> and I are going to start playing Warhammer Fantasy again. We haven't played in years, even though we both own a couple huge armies. We have also decided that a monthly game day is a must. We are now setting a schedule in advance of the day we will play and game system and points well in advance. For now, the first couple game days are going to be small games of 40k with some modelling/painting and terrain building. However, we are both starting to build/paint new armies for 8th edition. <br />
<br />
For me, this means I have to get the new rulebook and read a lot. Also, I pretty much lost interest in my Orcs & Goblins, mainly because they are way to random for me(I have much of it on Ebay now at this <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/ctreleheb/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686">LINK</a>). So, I'm starting a new army. I have always like Empire, so with the new book and great models I decided to jump in. We will start playing our first Fantasy, hopefully within a couple months. We are making self-imposed rules to only use painted models. The first game day will be 500 pts with 250 pt increments each month. I have thoroughly read the Empire book and have decided on a themed army based on the Stir River Patrol. They are pretty much the Stir River Navy, protecting merchant ships and manning riverside forts. My first 500 list looks something like this:<br />
<br />
Warrior Priest with Great Weapon(in with Halberds)<br />
<br />
20 Halberds with Full Command<br />
<br />
10 Handgunners as Detachment to above<br />
<br />
Mortar or Helblaster<br />
<br />
10 Crossbowmen<br />
<br />
This is very rough draft so far. I have no experience with 8th edition or Empire, so hoping to build a solid core in 500 pts and add what I need each month to build nice army.<br />
<br />
<i>Reklawsj</i> will be playing his Warriors of Chaos army. They will be of the mostly Tzeentch variety. His initial plan is to start with a basic Marauder army and add stronger units with progression, much like a Chaos warband would do in the fluff. I think this is a great idea and fits what we are going for in the "Tale of Only Two Gamers".<br />
<br />
Hopefully, this spur in hobby activity will get this blog kicking again with some actual painting and gaming content, albeit mostly of the Fantasy variety, but with a smattering of 40k, Dreadfleet, Mordheim, Necromunda, Bloodbowl, Warmachine, Hordes, Malifaux and anything else that strikes our fancy that month. <br />
<br />
So, this should be the beginning of some good hobby in the future. I really haven't touched anything hobby related in 6 months, needless to say, I'm getting excited about starting this up.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-39230062623736756792012-02-29T10:21:00.000-05:002012-02-29T10:21:15.676-05:00Coming Soon.....New Laser Cut Terrain Company<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3FzcDcd4uz0/T04waHpihzI/AAAAAAAAArs/g_paAP89XK8/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3FzcDcd4uz0/T04waHpihzI/AAAAAAAAArs/g_paAP89XK8/s400/DSC_0009.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Shown are images of a new line of Old West Buildings being produced by my brother. He operates a laser table for a small company and was asked to develop samples to show what the laser table was capable of. I mentioned to him that some friends and I had played a series of Legends of the Old West games one weekend. After showing him some of the terrain owned by a friend, he decided to design his own versions of Old West Terrain scaled for 25-28mm gaming. All images attached are products available for purchase now, with new items being added every week. So far, all items are for Old West/Historical gaming, but these will see use at my house for Maulifax and 40k.<br />
<br />
All buildings are shown with signs, but they are a separate item and have names etched into them. Custom signs could be made if desired. New packs are being developed for obstacles, such as tables, crates, hitching posts, outhouses, gallows, stairs for 2 story buildings, jail inserts for existing buildings, wagons, and anything else we can think of to add flavor to the gaming board. Check out images below and I'll explain more.<br />

I hope you liked the above terrain. It has been fun helping a little with the designs for this project and hope to see it grow into a full Old West selection and then branch into other genres as time progresses. I know a very large saloon building will be completed shortly with interior balcony and stairs as well as second story outdoor balcony. This thing will be huge, over 12" x 12"(maybe as large as 16" footprint), a true centerpiece for this type of gaming, or the location of a special bar fight scenario.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in any of these items, my brother is selling on Ebay for the time being, until their company sets up an online shopping cart site, or you can email me and I can send you a price list. I am also a distributor, so you can purchase directly from me with Paypal. My email is ctreleheb AT gmail.com. Also, email me with any questions you may have concerning details I may have left out above.<br />
<br />
As new items become available I will continue to post them to the blog.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-68818993278218453842011-09-26T12:27:00.000-04:002011-09-26T12:27:09.890-04:00Snotling Boxing/UFC Diorama WIP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3Il4V2ZPSQ/ToCaI0XP2qI/AAAAAAAAArc/XSg5aIttetE/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3Il4V2ZPSQ/ToCaI0XP2qI/AAAAAAAAArc/XSg5aIttetE/s400/DSC_0001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This is a diorama I built a while back and never finished. I figured Snotlings have something they enjoy doing when they're not running from Orcs. I spent some time getting all the bits together and made the rest from balsa wood and wire. The picture at the bottom shows all the characters that go on the base. I decided to keep them separate until after painting. <br />
<br />
As you can see in the above picture, I have the ring set up on barrels and a couple plank benches sitting on some small pails. I also put a small ladder on each side of the ring and a spit bucket where the coach hangs out ringside. I also have a treasure chest with da' winnings. There are a couple guards below you can see that keep it from getting carried off during the fight. There's also a gong for rounds and a banner to keep rounds on. I also put some barrels of fungus beer in there for the spectators to purchase. There are a couple more pics below showing more angles.<br />
<br />

Above are the characters that will be added to the diorama. The top row consists of the coaches and cheerleaders for each fighter. The second row consists of the spectators I have chosen to watch this fine sporting event. The third row has the judge on left, and the bellringer with hammer just to right and the guardians of the winnings on right. And the two bottom ones are the fighters. The left one is more of a karate kid martial arts snotling, while the right is more Bloodsport with his bound fists dipped in broken glass. I guess technically this is more UFC style but with the square ring it can be called whatever.<br />
<br />
Well, it's been a little slow on model front for me lately, thus showing you an old half finished project that I wish I had time to finish. I did however build a Malifaux gang on Friday. I hope to get pics of them taken this week and posted up. I started with Bayou Gremlins and have all models except a couple that I ordered today. I hope they come in so I can finish building everything that is out and start some painting on them. Maybe after that I'll actually get a rulebook and try to play a game.<br />
<br />
And I also put up my Lizardmen army on ebay and it ends tonight.

</tbody></table>Well, there's a pretty good size Lizardmen army in there. The Orc & Goblin army I posted earlier will be going on Ebay in the future also. I am trimming Fantasy down to only one army, for now anyways. I have a huge Ogre Army I want to add to and then maybe if my interest in the game goes up, I'll add another one later slowly. I am also wanting to start into some Malifaux, the Bayou Gremlins are to cool to pass up on that game. <br />
<br />
Content is slow lately, but that just means real life is busy. Maybe after getting some models out of the way, I will start getting some things that I have most interest in now and start actually working on something. Please hurry Chaos Space Marine Codex.<br />

With the new pics up of the very soon to be released Ogre Kingdoms, I decided to pull out my old army and see what I had. Seeing the new pics I already know what I'll be adding. That would be two of everything, haha, well definitely the new big guys and maybe the special characters, depending on their rules. But, like all armies I really like, I want one of everything, naturally. <br />
<br />
I figured I would take some pics of the army as it was built and then when I get the new book, I'll rearrange the units and whatnot to get it fitting the new rules. So, for now, check out the pics and I'll get the book and go over this armies evolution into 8th edition.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Found a few more Warmachine models to post up that I will be selling. Most of these are mercs. I will be posting on Ebay soon, so you can wait for that(I'll post the links), or email me at ctreleheb AT gmail.com and we can discuss a deal. Look back a couple posts if you haven't already to see more things I have to offer at 30+% off retail and better if you want more than one item.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I couldn't find a picture of the model in my files, but I also have a Karchev the Terrible warcaster for Khador for sell also. He is mostly built without paint. I can get a pic of the actual model if you wanted to see its condition.</div><br />

I saw a contest going on over at <a href="http://ttfix.blogspot.com/">Tabletop Fix</a> and saw the great prizes and knew I should enter. Anyone who has found my tiny blog will already know about this site and all the great pics they put up showing off miniatures from companies other than the Big Two(GW & PP). However, if you haven't seen the site, I recommend adding them to your blog roll or whatever and check out all the new posts. <br />
<br />
I honestly didn't know there were so many miniature companies out there until I added Tabletop Fix to my blogroll. Many of these are producing awesome kits that will compete with any companies minis. So, instead of finding all these companies sites for yourself and checking in with them all the time, just check <a href="http://ttfix.blogspot.com/">Tabletop Fix</a> and everything you need to see coming will be there.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-43809116271409470492011-08-15T10:23:00.001-04:002011-08-15T10:25:03.021-04:00'Ard Boyz Prelims ResultsI was able to attend the 'Ard Boyz tournament again this year at Hobbytown in Charlotte. The past 2 years there has been a turnout of around 12 people, with only about half of these being pretty good players. Well, Saturday a group of 6 of us showed up and were part of a 22 person turnout. This was huge for this store and they had to set up tables outside to accommodate everyone. This took 2 hrs and made the start noon instead of 10:00 as we were prepared for. The players consisted of 2 IG, 2 Ork, 1 Necron, 1 Dark Eldar, 2 Grey Knights, 1 Chaos Daemon, and the rest Space Marines of some flavor, mostly Vanilla and BA with little to no SW. I brought the following list to throw down with.<br />
<br />
Vulkan in Landraider Redeemer with Multimelta, HK missile with 3 TH/SS & 2 LC Terminators<br />
<br />
Shrike with 10 TH/SS Terminators<br />
<br />
3 x 10 man Tactical Squads in Rhinos with Meltagun, Missile Launcher, and Combi-melta<br />
<br />
1 x 5 man Scout Squad with Combi-melta/meltabomb in Landspeeder Storm with Multimelta<br />
<br />
2 Landspeeders with Multimelta, Heavy Flamers<br />
<br />
3 Attack Bikes with Multimeltas<br />
<br />
1 Multimelta Dreadnought in Drop Pod<br />
<br />
All in all a decent list with enough variety and tricks to get the job done. I use the dreadnought and scouts to alpha strike opponents and slow down there parking lots. The 10 termies tarpit and Vulkans crew cleans up. Good plan with everything goes well, I was of course hoping to play against some marine variant every round. This was a good plan after seeing 75% of the field were marines.<br />
<br />
Round 1 I drew a Space Marine player with Cato and Chapter Master and a variety of other units. He had only been playing 6 months and started with the stuff he liked, deciding to do 'Ard Boyz just to see what it was like. He went first and advanced killing little. I was then able to drop the dread within inches of his landraider and wreck it on his side of board, just in front of my Shrike unit. His next turn killed nothing.<br />
<br />
It went downhill for him after this. My termies marched through much of his army, mostly the Legion of the Damned and 2 shooty termie squads he dropped in front of them. Shrike walked through 3 full 10 man tactical squads by himself. This game ended up being textbook seal clubbing. I kinda felt bad tabling him for full battle points and receiving all 6 bonus points. He was just not prepared for a tournament level list.<br />
<br />
After this round I was sitting in first with 26. Two closest players had 23 each. Next round I drew the only Chaos Daemon player. This sucked bad as I was prepared to shut down mech list mainly and this was completely different. Also, having only played Daemons once ever, I know almost nothing about the list. He brought to the table the following:<br />
<br />
Fateweaver<br />
Skulltaker on Bloodcrusher<br />
Herald on Bloodcrusher<br />
2 units of 8 Bloodcrushers<br />
1 unit of Fiends<br />
4 units of 5 Plaguebearers<br />
3 Daemon Princes<br />
<br />
At first glance, small army with minimal troops. This was ok as I drew him in the only objective mission, but the rest of the army is tough as nails. Not knowing the rules hurt a little on this game, as this player didn't share any non-beneficial Daemon rules. I didn't know Fateweaver had to take leadership test after every wound, and of course he didn't share this. I also didn't know Daemons could deepstrike into cover with only consequence being dangerous terrain tests. Still not sure if this was correct, I think should have mishapped. More issues I had with this player included the fact that whole army was on square bases, the Bloodcrushers had no riders, only based Bloodletters scotch-taped to the bases. He would also, conveniently drop wound dice off the bases of all multi-wound models during movement and then pick these up to roll quickly. This was annoying as I was constantly replacing dice on his models. And apparently all daemons move 7" per turn, plus the little for square base corners. Pretty much the most annoying game ever. This dude was probably only 20, but was already playing like the beardiest 40-plus year old basement dweller I have ever seen. <br />
<br />
I didn't play a bad game, but still got massacred, which was no fun. I should have just concentrated on Plaguebearers and let his army chew on mine, but stood a good chance of being tabled by Bloodcrushers if I didn't do anything to them. I charged one unit of Crushers and a Prince with Shrike and termies. I was rolling my invulns hot and killed all after a couple turns. I was happy only losing 2 guys from this unit, so I charged another full unit and a Daemon prince, but also threw Vulkan and his boys into the fray. This one didn't do so well. I lost both units and both HQs in this one, only killing a couple Crushers. He was able to walk through the rest of my stuff then, killing everything but 2 full tactical squads on objectives. Unfortunately, he contested both of these. He then had all three others with Plaguebearers, giving him 7 to 0 and the massacre. <br />
<br />
This dropped me down to 9th for round 3. After looking at the scores, I decided to drop for Game 3 and just watch a couple friends play on Table 1 and 2. The daemon player was playing Grey Knights on Table 1, so I watched most of this. Luckily, for the GK player he knew some of their rules, so he was able to make better progress than me. They ended up with draw.<br />
<br />
The final results at this store were Vulkan Space Marines in first with 63 pts, Horde Orks in 2nd with 60, and the Daemon player in 3rd with 57(winning tie-breaker by 400 VPs) and the Grey Knight player in 4th. <br />
<br />
We all had a great time, even with no one in our group placing. We will all play again next year I'm sure, even though it's not the most competitive event around. It is a good way to play in a tournament without having to drop a lot of cash on a GT somewhere. I would prefer a more competitive venue as the players would be better people, with nicer armies, instead of some of the thrown together stuff you see at 'Ard Boyz. <br />
<br />
Any one else's store have 75% marines with only 1 making the cut. I thought this was odd, but in this situation, both the Daemon player and Ork player were very liberal with their rules interpretations and measuring. Most people don't play these armies often, so just take the opponent's word for their rules. I know some people don't think measuring is a big deal, but between movement and running they can gain an inch per turn, which can be everything in assault-based armies. Oh well, beardiness aside, it was fun to actually get in some games and I'll do it again next year.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With Fantasy being low on my "games I want to play list" I have finally decided to let go of my largest army. I started playing Orcs and Goblins 8 years ago and amassed this huge horde. I have lost countless games with them and won very few. I suck at Fantasy and have for a couple of editions. I haven't played any 8th yet, so I decided to get this army on to someone who can enjoy it. I thought I would put the pics up on here first before loading up my Ebay account, selling unit by unit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have closeups of all units in the army shown below. I think the pics are good enough that I won't have to describe each picture. There are several conversions and some mixed units of old and new models. Also, the movement trays are made from 18 ga galvanized steel with balsa wood edges. I made them out of steel so I could magnetize the models for ease of transport. A few of the units I actually got around to magnetizing, but don't remember which. Scroll down and check it out. My email is at bottom if you're interested in any of the units/characters. I would prefer to sell units as they are arranged, so I don't have any odd-numbered units when I get to putting them on Ebay.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There it is, the army I took years to build, but never have time or want to play with. I will also be posting up my Lizardmen army soon before hitting the Ebay with them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After seeing the new Ogre Kingdom models, I know that will be my one army I get for 8th edition. I already have several thousand pts built and will definitely be adding some of the new beasts to it. At least then I will have a Fantasy army to game with if I have the desire. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you would like to work out something on any of the units, or have any questions about something shown above, shoot me an email at ctreleheb AT hotmail.com. Also, if you didn't see my last post and are interested in starting Warmachine, I have a huge lot of models for sell that you should check out. They will be hitting Ebay very soon. If anyone is uncomfortable buying through the blog I will be posting links to my auctions as I put them up to remind anyone wanting that type of transaction.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's time I finally got around to getting some pics of stuff I <strike>want </strike>need to get rid of. I hate posting up on ebay so I thought I would throw pics up here on the blog to offer up some good deals for you fine folk. Hopefully, this will save me from spending tons of time on ebay, so they can take half my money with fees. I know some people frown upon others selling things on their blog, but hey Ebay sucks and I promise you'll get a better deal here since I don't have to account for fees and time. You can check my ebay seller rating at username <i>ctreleheb, </i>and I have sold models through the blog in the past and was left positive feedback in the comments. <a href="http://theminiaturesideofme.blogspot.com/2010/07/want-new-stuff-selling-new-stuffwh-dh.html">http://theminiaturesideofme.blogspot.com/2010/07/want-new-stuff-selling-new-stuffwh-dh.html</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today, all the stuff I have posted up is from a trade I did for some Warmachine a while back. It all consists of Khador and mercenaries. In a couple days I'll be posting up lots more stuff I need to move, including my 13,000 pt fully built Orcs & Goblin Fantasy Army, as well as lots of Lizardmen stuff and a few 40k things. If you know anyone interested in any of these armies tell them to check it out later in the week. Scroll down and check out all the Warmachine up for now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All pics are of the actual models you would be receiving if you purchased them. I put a price by each picture description that will be around 30% off retail, unless a part is missing and they will be cheaper. If you want a large lot of these I will do better than that and in some cases will include shipping. I can only ship on Fridays and Saturdays due to work schedule, so if you want something soon, it would be best to make a deal before then so I can get them packaged up and shipped out in timely manner. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">If you have been wanting to try Warmachine, now is the time to get a good army started cheap. Email me at ctreleheb AT gmail.com. Let me know which models you would like to take off my hands and we can make a deal on price and shipping. I can ship worldwide, but it may take me a couple of days to get you a shipping price. Also, I will only accept Paypal for these transactions, as it protects both of us. <br />
<br />
Edit: I have MK II cards for most of the Khador stuff.</div><div><br />

Sallie WingSo it's that time of year again. Time for Ard Boyz. The past 2 years I have played and made it to semis with a "fluffy" Vulkan list. I say it was fluffy because I didn't have a ton of spam in it, it simply was a great army. Yes I admit, I did have lots of hammer and melta everywhere (why wouldn't I?) but I did follow the fluff in that it contained no fast attack choices. 'gasp!' That's right, no multi melta attack bikes or speeders. Just marines and termies... and 2 land raiders, and 2 dreads. Ok, so maybe it was a little spammed but what Ard Boyz army isn't? Anyways, my point is this. I loved that army and really liked the fluff of the army after reading Salamander and Fire Drake. If you haven't read them I highly recommend them. <br /><br />But this year I wanted to do something different. I still love my sallies but wanted to try another list with them. But how I should do this proved a problem. And low and behold the Dark Angels got a Codex Update. Storm Shields are 3++ now you say? Yes please! There was my answer, I'll run my sallies as a First Company and use the Dark Angels book. I know, I know, the proper response now is, "count as armys are gay!". And normally I would agree. You should not be able to use vanilla tactical marines as blood claws, or use your unpainted jump marines as blood angels. But what I do think is exceptable is this, you should be able to have some wiggle room between codexes as long as your boys are modeled appropriately and you've devoted your time into making it work. If you have a great modeling idea for an army then you should be able to do what you want. I know this is a hot topic now because people are trying to make their models fulfill different codices. "Yay I have a SM army! Space Wolves are coming out? I'll just say mine are a later founding of the Space Wolves chapter so I can use their codex." No, that's not good.<br /><br />So back to my plan. Yes I will be running a deathwing list this year at Ard Boyz. But frankly I think the Dark Angels are, well, kinda lame. I mean they wear dresses, and they're pretty much one step away from being heretics. But the idea of an all terminator list or a 1st company list is just too cool. And according to the fluff of 40k every chapter has a 1st company comprised very similarly to that of the Dark Angels. The first company are the best of the best, every army has access to them... including Salamanders! If Salamanders had their own official codex then yeah, I may be calling shenanigans on myself but they don't! So why not right?<br /><br />But I'm not just going to get a bunch of termies, paint them a different shade of green and be done with it. No, I wanted this army to really show the background and feel of a salamander list. So I went all out with them. Here's my list:<br /><br />Belial w/ TH/SS (Praetor?)<br />Librarian in Terminator Armor (Pyriel?)<br /><br />2 Dreads<br />1 Land Raider Crusader (no Redeemer option gayness )<br /><br />7 Termie Squads. 4 TH/SS, 1 Chainfist, 1 CCML<br /><br /><br />Simple enough right? So I purchased all new termies for this project and made a little order to ForgeWorld. <br /><br /><strong>Body:</strong><br />That's right, all these termies are going to be wearing the official shoulder pads of their chapter. <br />I'm thinking of giving them some special shields, maybe from some saurus warriors, to help with the feel of the army. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Bases:</strong><br />I would like to do the bases in a jet black sand. I've found some thanks to ct that looks perfect. It even has a nice shine to it. I want to cover most of base in that save for a few open lines running across the base. In these lines I would like to paint an orange/yellow/red to make it look like lava. See where I'm going with this?<br /><br /><strong> Customization: </strong><br />I want these guys to fulfill many roles so I'm going to magnetize about half of the model's arms so I can trade out the TH/SS with a Storm Bolter and PF for another game. This is also my big plan for my HQ models.<br /><br /><strong> HQ </strong><br />I named my HQ after the Salamander books. Pyriel is a librarian in the series and Praetor is a Terminator Seargant. For these two models I'm going to use the Terminator Librarian frow GW since he's "Citadel Finecast" now and for Praetor I'm using Commander Culn from the Red Scorpions. I'll have to shave a small insignia off his chest but I think he'll work nicely. He's got a cool dynamic pose and he's got a mohawk! No contest. These guys will definetly be magnetized to allow for greater flexibility in later games.<br /><br /><strong> Dreads and Land Raiders </strong><br />The Land Raider is straight forward. It's a Crusader with a Multi Melta for My HQs to ride in. I'm planning on stringing some lizardmen heads along the side of it like trophies and I am going to "attempt" to green stuff some scales on the side.<br />For my two dreads I'm using a Venerable and an Ironclad. I didn't want to use the plain GW dread so I thought these would give me a better look. Luckily about a week after my FW order they came out with the Salamander dread so that's just wonderful. I'll just have to work with what I have for now. I found some cool dwarf shields that have a hammer and anvil or a hammer with wings on them. I'm going to put those on my dread's arms which should give them a little flavor.<br /><br /><br />So there's my idea. I'm using a count as army for Ard Boyz but I'm spending a lot of time (and money!) to really make it worth while. Let the hate begin below.reklawsjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16285528453791931579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-25159029503631964162011-07-20T10:36:00.000-04:002011-07-20T10:36:21.404-04:00Chaos Legions?....Yes, Please.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqzlj235ixI/TibSOiJ955I/AAAAAAAAAjI/pu0wbCkQkME/s1600/deathguard+006+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqzlj235ixI/TibSOiJ955I/AAAAAAAAAjI/pu0wbCkQkME/s400/deathguard+006+%25282%2529.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Chaos Legion rumor, even with no info, is the most exciting rumor for me in a while. Chaos is by far my favorite army of 40k. I started them in 3rd edition when they had the awesome codex with tons of options for specific Legions. I liked them all, but Plague Marines were definitely my favorite. I hope they make Chaos into at least 2 Codexes(I guess 3, if you include Daemons). I mean why not, half of the legions defected, yet they only get 1 old Codex, while the mummy-worshipers get 6 codexes, half of which are less than 2 years old. This sucks and is the main reason why Chaos players have started building the dreaded "counts-as" armies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Regardless, I hope the rumor is true so Chaos players can rise once again. I started this blog to catalog the building and painting of my Deathguard army, but lost interest because of all the new codexes getting tons of cool stuff, while we're left with a bland excuse for a codex. While I think it is still semi-competitive, it's just not cool that we have less units in the whole book than some newer armies have HQ options. I want to get back on my original project and finish painting the army I converted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Above and below are the only 2 models with paint from the 2,500 pts I built. The top is a Champion with plastic powerfist(don't mind the banner pin, all the champions have removable banners to represent Icons). All backpacks have been converted to either steel barrels or wooden drums. You can see the whole army being built in the first couple months of this blogs existence to the right. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Most of these have been posted individually somewhere on here, but I'll put up again since it's been awhile for Chaos on here. The most recent stuff added have been units built for use using SW or BA codex, like the Raptors for a pure DoA(R!)

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, please rumors, be true. I want more Chaos in my life. I do like the idea of the main legions having their own book while the renegades(go Huron) have their own book as well. I'm sure there will be crossover units that are in both books. And with all the new huge plastic kits as of late, maybe both books will get a nice flying transport or something. The possibilities are endless, so I can't even venture a guess as to what they will come up with, but I'm excited. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am hoping for new plastic Thousand Sons and Emperor's Children. I do not have either of these units yet and would like to add them, but with new models instead of the hybrids. New Berzerkers would be nice as those are looking dated compared to newer plastics. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and plastic Obliterators and Dreadnoughts please, with tons of options. Okay, I can do without the dreads as Forgeworld makes some beauties already. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and plastic Raptor box, instead of the top-heavy ones from now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and awesome rules so we can keep up the new guys.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and the first 300 pt HQ that beats face. This should be fine, some of these guys have been around for 10,000 years, you really think they should die in a small battle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, so wishlist aside, I do hope we get a couple of well-rounded codexes with rules that set them apart from other "normal" Space Marines. Some new unit entries would be nice, and I think a must to add to existing and add flavor to the armies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How many of you guys are excited about this rumor? Do you have a wishlist for your favorite army?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Maybe not if you want to jump on purchasing a 2,000 pt army in one day, but starting small and building a competitive list over time is an affordable proposition. Next I will list my other personal hobbies with their costs. There are many things that pique my interest, so I have a pretty wide variety of things I enjoy doing in my spare time. <br />
<br />
The biggest hobby I have other than wargaming would be hunting. This may not seem like a hobby to some, but it is something I do in my spare time that I don't need to do, thus the hobby classification. Every year I can't wait for September to come so I can get into the woods with bow and arrow in hand, hoping for a deer to come into under 25 yds(sometimes as close as a few feet). The excitement is awesome. I also hunt deer with muzzleloaders and rifles. I also do some small game hunting, including doves and rabbits. The outdoors is a great place to be and I highly suggest it. Some of the things I have purchased over the years to help with my hunting endeavors are:<br />
<br />
NC Hunting/Fishing License -$40<br />
Remington .270 WSM with Scope - $800<br />
20 Bullets for .270 WSM - $45<br />
Clothing/Boots/hats/gloves/socks/etc for Warm, mild, cool, cold, very cold weather -at least $1000-$2000<br />
Cover Scents/Calls/Accessories - at least $250<br />
2 Scout Cameras - $250<br />
2 Ladder Stands - $250<br />
3 Lock-On Stands with Ladder Sticks - $250<br />
Ground Blind - $150<br />
Muzzleloader plus Scope and Accessories - $600<br />
Compound Bow with Accessories - $800(arrows cost $10 each plus broadheads are $12 each, so $22 per shot, usually good for 1-2 shots through game)<br />
Four other guns of various caliber - $2000<br />
Skinning Knife - $125<br />
Processing Equipment(vacuum sealer, bags, grinder)- $500<br />
<br />
Keep in mind most of the above equipment is in the lower to middle end of cost scale for comparable items. I usually look for products that will get the job done and are still affordable. I don't have the extra income to afford the highest quality items around. Shopping around is a must as hunting equipment ranges wildly in costs and qualities. As in wargaming, you can buy cheap knock-offs or top-of-the-line products. At least with GW stuff you know you are getting the best of the best and the cost aren't that much more than knock-offs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jfIltLPax4M/Tf9Mb4cEebI/AAAAAAAAAis/I8NGin8l0ns/s1600/1120091133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jfIltLPax4M/Tf9Mb4cEebI/AAAAAAAAAis/I8NGin8l0ns/s200/1120091133.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Luckily, I have local private land to hunt on that I don't have to lease. Left is a pic of a deer I got a photo of on my scout camera that I was able to take a few days later. If you lease, that can be another $500 per year. I also process my game myself, saving another $80 per deer taken. Also, if you travel to other places to hunt, like Texas, the Midwest, Canada or go on big game hunts abroad(Africa, New Zealand) you can plan on spending at least $2,000 for cheapest hunts in Texas, around $6,000 to go to Canada and the sky is limit on some hunts in Africa(elephant). Even sheep hunting in the Yukon of Alaska can be $20,000 for a 7-10 day hunt.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Like wargaming I have been collecting the things I want/need for hunting in same manner. Spending a little over $1,000 a year has kept it enjoyable and affordable for me. And like in wargaming, after a few years I can spend little on new things and just buy the essentials to keep this hobby really cheap, while providing hours of enjoyment(and no you don't have to harvest an animal to have fun, I just like being out there spending time in the outdoors). It has taken years to add the above to my collection. I still add new stands, accessories, clothing to this as I see the need arise. When it gets near hunting season, my models hit backburner until afterwards. I spend lots of time scouting for new locations, putting in stands, and practicing my shooting. It keeps me in shape as a side benefit also. I get plenty of hiking in and just spending time in the outdoors is good for the soul. Just so I can sit in a tree in sub-freezing temps hoping a nice one will walk in range. The cost for me is comparable to wargaming, but at least in 40k it doesn't cost me $2.50 per bullet or $22 per arrow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gM7FE-DqIlE/Tf9KysJhpRI/AAAAAAAAAio/ShjSZ6gGdKU/s1600/DSC_0322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gM7FE-DqIlE/Tf9KysJhpRI/AAAAAAAAAio/ShjSZ6gGdKU/s200/DSC_0322.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>Another thing that I just started getting into this year is Organic Vegetable Gardening. To the left is a pic of the my small garden earlier in the season with some potatoes growing. This is something I have been interested in for a while but really just had the chance this year at my new house. I planned out a modest 1,500 sq ft garden and began ordering seeds back in the winter so I could be ready. This was the startup year for me, so I had a lot of one time costs, much like wargaming. Some of these include the tools needed, wheelbarrow, water hoses, seed starting supplies, etc. Other costs I will incur each year like seeds, plants, organic fertilizers, soil amendments will make this cost go down. I may also sell some of the vegetables I produce at a local organic vegetable stand to help lessen the overall cost, like selling old models on ebay to recoup some costs. So far this summer I have spent around $750 on the garden and supplies. I have kept a journal of all expenditures and see that the yearly items will usually cost $300-$400 per year from here on out, unless I decide to build a small greenhouse(I want one) or purchase a small tiller.<br />
<br />
Again, this is another hobby that has a similar costs to wargaming. It has a larger startup cost, while becoming much cheaper after initial investments are made. Also, it gets me outside more in the spring and summer. My 3 year old and I have a lot of fun out there planting seeds and plants, watering and finally picking the fruits of our labor. Though we have only picked a few squash, cucumbers, onions and potatoes so far. There are a lot more things to harvest coming up later in the summer.<br />
<br />
My last hobby would be fishing. I don't go as much as I would like with the small children and water. This is very cheap for me actually on a per year basis. Over the years I have collected enough rods and lures to have a fun time fishing in local streams, rivers and small ponds. In my case, fishing is relatively cheap. I only go a few times per year and spend very little money doing so. The startup costs for the fishing I do is about the same as a good 2,000 pt army, again this can be spent over a period of time. Granted I don't do any saltwater fishing, or going to large lakes where you need a fishing boat, truck and lots of gas money. I keep this small and it is fun for me.<br />
<br />
I used to snowboard a lot when I was younger. This is another hobby similar to wargaming. The cost of the equipment you need will be about the same as starting up the wargaming hobby. But you then have to add in the constant lift ticket purchases needed to go, costing $20-$40 per day usually, not to mention I have to drive almost 2 hrs to get to a suitable ski resort.<br />
<br />
A hobby that I would like to have is auto racing, not Nascar, I like more grassroots style autocrossing/road racing. However, this is too expensive for me to get into, so I just watch on TV. No, I don't go into racing forums and put up hate posts about how it is too expensive for me. I just don't get involved in it. Just because you can't afford to participate in a hobby doesn't mean you should hate the companies involved in it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RRT1WxAaEHM/Tf9NvTSbx-I/AAAAAAAAAiw/oP4RBKh00oo/s1600/0702071930.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RRT1WxAaEHM/Tf9NvTSbx-I/AAAAAAAAAiw/oP4RBKh00oo/s200/0702071930.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>My family and their needs always come first before any of my hobbies. Case in point, to the left is the car I traded for a minivan to keep my family safe and I love some turbo'ed sport compacts. That is why I choose hobbies that are on the lower end of the cost scale, while still providing large a amount of enjoyment. I also like doing things that can involve my family. Currently my children are to small for wargaming so I spend very little time with it. However, with gardening my 3 year daughter and I can go outside, enjoy the weather, spend time together, get dirty and watch tiny seeds grow into food. Nick Jr. just can't provide that type of learning.<br />
<br />
Well, there are a few examples of things that are considered hobbies and their costs, that I am actively involved in. Like any hobby, you can get into any of these as little or as deep as you want. Which means spending as little, or as much as you want. Wargaming can be enjoyed for years on as little as $1,000 total, as can hunting, but in the end the sky is the limit on how much you think you have to spend to enjoy yourself.<br />
<br />
I feel like all the hobbies I enjoy are worth every penny I spend. If I didn't I wouldn't have that as a hobby. I know models are expensive, but it's a hobby, enjoy it or stop playing. So far though, I think the cost is affordable for the amount of time enjoyed and it really is a lower-cost hobby really, at least over a period of time. I do think the general consensus is that the startup cost is formidable for some. I know I couldn't go to the FLGS and throw down $600+ on some models in one day. The wife would probably kill me, just kidding, well maybe I would get lucky and only be maimed severely. If I spread this out over a several months or a year(and don't let her find out), the cost is a little easier to swallow. Personally, I think it is one of the most affordable hobbies around for what you get. If you can name some hobbies that are cheaper, let me know what they are, I am having trouble coming up with more than a couple. On the other hand, I could name over a dozen in seconds that cost more, some lots more.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-86232270697058753512011-06-21T15:08:00.000-04:002011-06-21T15:08:43.949-04:00My Opinion on the Costs of Wargaming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4raGsmx6W8/Tf9GRxkklYI/AAAAAAAAAik/wxf7VbtaUtE/s1600/DSC_0254.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4raGsmx6W8/Tf9GRxkklYI/AAAAAAAAAik/wxf7VbtaUtE/s400/DSC_0254.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>My Space Marine Army. I have to much here. And one is painted.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I see everyone online is up in arms about price raises and whatnot from their favorite miniature company. There are also posts comparing wargaming to video gaming or whatever. Here in my smallest of corners of the internet I thought I would just compare my wargaming costs to my other hobbies. I usually refrain from adding up and knowing the cost of my various hobbies, but since this is for a cause, I will break the rule.<br />
<br />
First, I will say that as it is a hobby, costs shouldn't be considered. A hobby is something you choose to do in your spare time. I do not have the funds to purchase all the models I would like. This is okay, I just buy the ones you want/need to play the game. You don't have to have every model GW makes to have fun. I also do a lot of trading/selling of my older models before purchasing new ones. I probably only spend $100-$200 dollars of my income per year on wargaming even though I may spend over $1000. The remaining funds come from ebaying old models. <br />
<br />
For the sake of this article though we will consider the costs for a new player starting the game vs my other personal hobbies. I am using my hobbies as I know the costs of them for sure. There are plenty of hobbies out there that costs more than wargaming, in fact most hobbies costs more. They are hobbies because they are afforded with disposable income. The more disposable income, the more expensive the hobby, think sports car racing, yachting, flying airplanes(not RC ones), etc. Our hobby is a lower end hobby, whether you believe that or not.<br />
<br />
A new player coming into the game will need to purchase the following most likely:<br />
Main Rulebook<br />
Codex of their choice<br />
Army of their choice, minimum 1000 pts<br />
Super Glue<br />
Plastic Glue<br />
Hobby Knife<br />
Primer<br />
Few paints<br />
<br />
The above would probably be around $600 to start. This could be broken down into a few months purchases. IMO it should take a new player around a year to get their first 2,000 pts built and painted. We'll say the total for everything you need to get going that first year would be around $1,200. This would include a competitive 2,000 pt army and enough tools and paints to get it built, painted and based. No this doesn't include fancy carrying cases, resin bases or Forgeworld bits. Breaking this cost down, thats around $100 a month for first year.<br />
<br />
The good thing about wargaming is that after that first year the cost can go way down. It can go as low as none, if you are content with the army you built and just want to play. Now, we know no one is content, so lets say you add a new army every year. Again you'll need a few paints, but you'll already have the tools. <br />
<br />
Wargaming is a hobby where you get what you put in. If you want you can buy terrain and play at home, or you can build your own cheap. With the internet you can find how-tos on almost anything terrain related. If you want to paint better look online, learn new techniques, practice. And if you want to save more money, buy from online retailers like The Warstore. They offer 20% off retail on new things and is most of the time easier than hassling with ebay. If you get lucky on ebay though, there are some better deals to be had. I do say if you have a FLGS that you play at frequently you should buy at least some product there so you'll have a place to play. If you get too cheap, you'll being playing in some shady dude's basement.<br />
<br />
This is getting long so I will add a part 2 putting the costs of my other personal hobbies in a separate post. So far, though I am seeing that for around $20-$25 dollars a week you can have a great hobby, continuously adding new units, models, armies, terrain pieces, paints/tools to your collection. You can't even smoke cigarettes for this little money and they kill you. I say stop the whining and play the game and have some fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Part 2 will show some real costs of my other hobbies.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-79479663230212857812011-06-20T12:01:00.000-04:002011-06-20T12:01:17.680-04:00Another 'Ardboyz Practice Game - Shrike/Vulkan vs Deathwing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k5L5kLxsRcg/Tf9EzNVSc6I/AAAAAAAAAic/03OCexZ7v5w/s1600/GW+Shrike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="143" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k5L5kLxsRcg/Tf9EzNVSc6I/AAAAAAAAAic/03OCexZ7v5w/s200/GW+Shrike.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>I was able to get in another game with my 'Ardboyz list against <i>reklawsj</i> Friday morning. He is in that glorious transition phase between finishing college and starting real life, so he had a chance to get in another game before moving to Charlotte.<br />
<br />
He tweaked the Deathwing list for this game. He took out 2 units of the terminators and added a Landraider Crusader and 2 dreadnoughts. This leaves 6 troops choices filled with units of 5 termies. Three of these units have 5 TH&SS plus a Cyclone, while the other 3 pitch one hammer for a chainfist. The seventh squad is an elite unit and is also 5 hammers with a Cyclone and the Librarian and Belial attached to ride in Crusader. Belial also pulled out the claws for this game.<br />
<br />
We rolled up a Seized Ground Mission with 4 objectives and Pitched Battle setup. I'm not doing a full battle report, just some highlights and a summary. We played to a 2.5 hr time limit.<br />
<br />
After setup, I seized the initiative. Normally, in an objective mission I would not have attempted this, but he had a juicy Landraider that I could alpha strike with my Storm Scouts and/or Dreadnought. This list gives me four chances to take down heavy tanks before game starts. It should be noted he didn't reserve any models, not using the Deathwing assault rule as last game.<br />
<br />
So, I go first deepstriking the Dreadnought right in front of his all army. The Storm also moves 12 inches and drops the scouts a couple inches from the Landraider. The Scouts whiffed their shot with point blank melta on the Raider, but the Storm came through getting an exploded result and removing it from the table. No casualties inside, but they are on foot now. The Dreadnought stuns one of his dreads, neutralizing it for a turn. <br />
<br />
In his turn, he charge my dreadnought with character unit and only removed weapon. My dread held this unit up for four rounds of combat against 5 thunder hammers. This was awesome and let me do work on opposite side of the board. On opposite side of board he charged my Shrike unit with 2 of his units. Next turn I would add Vulkan and his unit to this melee fest. He would also feed 2 more units into this grinder. After 3 turns my 15 termies took down 20 of his termies in combat, with only loss of 8 of mine and Vulkan was insta-killed by Hammer early on. <br />
<br />
By turn 3 I had mopped up left side of board and started moving my combat squadded tactical squads toward 2 of the objectives. I also started trudging through building in center with leftover termies, heading for more kills. By turn 4 I had 2 objectives solidly in my control with no way he could contest. I also had a 3rd objective in my control, but he would get there with 2 units before end game, so I also started getting my Landspeeders in position for last turn contesting. But going first hurt this as he just Cycloned these in his turn.<br />
<br />
After 5 turns we rolled and game ended. We each had 2 objectives controlled with scoring units for the draw. <br />
<br />
This was an attrition game for both of us. He had to get the charge on my termies or lose combat, unless using multiple units. My master-crafted hammers were very good. It also must be said that his dice hated him the entire game and mine were on fire again. At one point he put 13 wounds on my TH&SS unit with his Thunder hammers. I proceeded to only fail one of these invulnerable saves, the other 12 were all 4 or better. Ridiculous!<br />
<br />
With the strength of his army, I could only feed termies to grinder, hoping to hold his units from slogging to objectives so I could win. The rest of my army had to use hit and run tactics or just run, haha. In the end, I didn't slow him down enough on my right side. Oh well, it was an awesome game. I finally got to use my Storm Scouts/Podding Dreadnought alpha strike. Taking down the Raider paid for all of this, not to mention my Dread holding for 4 rounds of combat.<br />
<br />
So, I think lists are pretty much finalized already. I have a few models to build to get the army completely WYSIWIG, while my cousin has decided his Deathwing will be built as the First Company of the Salamanders. This will go well with his normal Salamander army he has used to make it to 'Ardboyz Semi-finals these last two years. Hopefully, he'll put up some posts once work starts on the building of this army. He has great plans. They will all be padded up with Forgeworld shoulderpads and be put on Secret Weapon Lava Flow Resin Bases. <br />
<br />
This was probably the last game we'll get in before August<i>, </i>so I hope we're ready for whatever shows up. At least we have a little experience with our armies this year. The last two years I have played with lists I only wrote and never played with until tournament day. This lack of practice put me in 4th two years ago and 2nd last year.ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-64234245685629820842011-06-16T15:48:00.000-04:002011-06-16T15:48:03.904-04:00Salamanders vs Deathwing - 'Ardboyz Practice GameLast weekend, <i>reklawsj</i> and I got together for another 2,500 pt game to do a little practice for 'Ardboyz, albeit without the sometimes goofy missions they come up with. I brought the Shrike/Vulkan list I used last time with only changes being missile launchers in tactical squads instead of multi-meltas. That list can be seen <a href="http://theminiaturesideofme.blogspot.com/2011/05/grey-knights-vs-salamanders-ardboyz.html">here</a>. My cousin brought a completely different codex, as the Grey Knights didn't really measure up in the last game. His new list was from the Dark Angels codex consisting entirely of termies. List included:<br />
<br />
Belial - TH&SS<br />
<br />
Librarian with Termie Armor and Combi-melta<br />
<br />
6 Troop Units with 5 Terminators each including 3 with TH&SS, 1 with pair lightning claws and 1 with a Cyclone Missile Launcher and Chainfist<br />
<br />
3 Elite Units equipped same as above.<br />
<br />
1 of the above units had the Apothecary and Banner with Belial Attached.<br />
<br />
The game we rolled up was Spearhead & Seize Ground with 3 objectives. The objectives were pretty much spread evenly across board center in terrain 18" apart. We had a large building center table and ruins spread around board.<br />
<br />
I won first turn and setup most of my army spread around my corner to minimize deepstrikers amidst my army. I had combat squadded all 3 of tactical squads and left the heavy weapons in cover while keeping the meltagun and combi-melta in rhinos. <br />
<br />
He next setup 2 units in his corner with rest coming in reserve. I then infiltrated Shrike and 10 termies in front of his 2 units.<br />
<br />
First turn, I dropped my Dreadnought in on right objective to camp out while everything else spread out to minimize large areas that would be good for deepstriking. I shot a few times, but no saves were failed.<br />
<br />
His turn he dropped 4 units of termies onto board. Only 1 of these landed in my deployment zone while others spread out to reinforce ones already on board. A rhino was immobilized as was the dreadnought from missile fire.<br />
<br />
After this I moved my termies up to engage, while rest of army poured fire into termie squads. The Feel No Pain unit with Belial was a tough unit to put wounds on. With master crafted hammers and more storm shields in my termie units, I found that I was winning combat more often, but fearless was keeping the Deathwing around.<br />
<br />
We were only able to play 4 turns before running out of time. This was mostly attributed to not being really familiar with Deathwing and the wound allocation and different saves on those units. Initiative orders in combat were also ridiculous, what with characters and THs and lightning claws. <br />
<br />
When time was called I ended up with 2 objectives while contesting the other one. I took one with a Storm full of Scouts, another with a unit in rhino and contested his with Landraider. I was pumped as I took down 31 of his termies in four turns with 20+ of these being killed in combat. Another turn and he would have contested one I had with Rhino unit and probably taken down my raider, resulting in a tie. And with turn 5 my Attack Bikes would have shown up automatically from reserve instead of missing entire game.<br />
<br />
This was a surprising result for me, as I was pretty worried about facing down 47 Terminators, 28 of which had Storm Shields. I know he is tweaking the list to throwdown more Storm shields for a game tomorrow. I again will keep same list, as I like the flexibility it has and with 2 hammer units, it is pretty tough to crack. Not to mention my bad dice rolling is not much of a factor when everything is twin-linked or master-crafted. <br />
<br />
I'll let you know if tomorrow's games ends in victory again or if the tweaked list and different tactics change the game. We always have an after game theory session and tactics talk to discuss where each of us could have done differently. We both agreed that the Deathwing list needs more Storm Shields and that they would be more effective if all together in large mass. This game they were really spread out across board and coming in different turns of game. I was able to pick my battles, using superior numbers to push combat my way before his other units could react. Next time, I will not be so lucky.<br />
<br />
Well, crappy report I know, but what you think? Is my list ready for 'Ardboyz? How would you tweak his? Or do both suck so bad we shouldn't even show up for 'Ardboyz?ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163315629644276899.post-18789805324941748712011-06-09T11:37:00.000-04:002011-06-09T11:37:34.303-04:00Troll Axer Painted Pics<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4x6MoI0n-Gc/TfDF_GKkYMI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/X5YPrSudhBc/s1600/DSC_0351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4x6MoI0n-Gc/TfDF_GKkYMI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/X5YPrSudhBc/s400/DSC_0351.JPG" width="377" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finally, I had a little time Friday to finish this guy up. The pictures are not good again, but as soon as get pMadrak finished I will have a fully painted 25 pt list. At that point I will get out the light box for some family photos. These large models are still giving me fits with the time they take to do even decently well. So, check him out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8Cn7YdkubQ/TfDGAMXxxpI/AAAAAAAAAiU/6fAS83E1JjA/s1600/DSC_0352.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8Cn7YdkubQ/TfDGAMXxxpI/AAAAAAAAAiU/6fAS83E1JjA/s400/DSC_0352.JPG" width="367" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>You see the small troll and not the massive mold line.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up for painting is pMadrak to finish the 25 pt list I have going. After that it's on to my Grim Angus Tier List. That means assembling the huge stack of metal models I have been ignoring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In other hobby related news, tomorrow I am having another 'Ardboyz practice game with <i>reklawsj</i> using the Shrike/Vulkan list I posted a couple weeks ago. He is bringing 47 termies with TH/SS. Gonna be a tough one. I will post my thoughts on the game and lists next week.</div>ctrelehebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240222029254571727noreply@blogger.com0
