Manic Monday # 84

 

Sneaky Sneaky

Same old broken record....too much work, house under construction, not time to paint blah blah blah

UPS is being difficult. Trying to Get my FW package and it is signature required, so signed slip to get package.....they pick up slip and leave black slip. WTF

Tortuga stuff arrived and well I got 1 MK3 tabard set instead of 2nd running legs....Entropmancer  will like those. 

Thanks to Hurricane Ian, my Etsy Shoulder pads are in Florida still. 

Decals, Librarian, back packs and shoulder pads  arrived. 

Saturday I saw most of the Metal Head Armory crew at a Local GS. Entropmancer and I traded bits (yes more MK 6 Helms!), half my Heavy Weapons for half the Support weapons, parts for my Chaplain, and purchased my Heavy Bolters and Missile Launchers. 

Sunday it was announced that the Land Raider Proteus was going on Presale Saturday.......WOOT WOOT. Since I only play inside the group I think I'm not going to build the assault ramp version as it looks less pleasing.....

Old hotness

Ugly Newness

Still need Sicaran #2 and Plastic Contemptor #2 also. 

What I built this weekend:

I added magnets to all my bases (40 32mm, 1 40mm, 1 60mm base and Storm Eagle's base)

So needing the instructions to build MK VI marines into Heavy Weapons (arms matching to bodies) I went ahead and built my 5 Autocannon and 5 Lascannon Heavy Weapon Marines. 

Autocannons

Lascannons

After getting my half of the support weapon blister, I started building my Support Squad Rotor Cannon guys..

...only got partially through one model cause I needed to work on these guys. (I can probably sneak the Support Squad into work and build them there next weekend).

One of my favorite (non Legion Specific) Units are Seeker squads. I feel like they are the character hunters of Legions.....And I had to have a full 10 man Squad of them (plus a Proteus)

SGT!

Still waiting on their heads......UPS

but here is this weeks build log.

Manic Monday # 82

 Well still no progress on the house so while we are awaiting construction I can continue constructing my Raven Guard for Horus Heresy!

Well with my days off I continued working on my Sicaran finishing the turret and sponson weapons:

After that I began building my Contemptor Dreadnought

Next it was fixing the scale of the Cataphractii Terminators by adding a spacer on the waist

Which spiraled into build the rest of the 15 man Deliverer squad..

and I did start some basing. 

Manic Monday # 81

Ugh love being a home owner......more construction on floors. Pantry, Laundry room, living room all are being replaced.

So with my house under construction my paint area is now a storage area. Entropmancer and I are splitting the special weapon set, and I purchased a plastic Sicaran. 

This weekend I preordered the Autocannon/ Lascannon/ Volkite Culverin weapon set (to split with Entropmancer) , 2 sets cards and my other heavy weapons (Missile Launcher/ Heavy Bolter).  One of the FB members had NIB Corvus Corax, Mor Deythan, Dark Fury, and 2 Mk VI shoulder pads for sale so I scoped them up. And pulled the Storm Eagle I got in trade many years ago out of storage and ordered another 40 more MK VI marines. Still another contemptor, a leviathan, and a another Sicaran.

 Well here is the progress. 

Sicaran hull built

2 15 man Tacticals and Praetor!

Did order a Dice Tray from the Dice Must Flow and patches from Family Adventures
 

Since I am going all MK IV need to modify tank crews 

Shadow Wing!

Manic Monday #79

 

Well I was off 2 days this week and 4 next but  that is due to Floor remodel. After that one day off a week for Emperor knows how long. 

So I sat down an started blocking colors out on Grey Knight Paladins and only got so far.....I was distracted by another project.

Still need to do Gold on Psycannon models and then double check the others and do some highlights, scrolls and books and they should be ready to wash. Hoping to have them done next weekend. New Vow in 10 Days...... More Grey Knight Paladins and Character

So Entropmancer and I have been staring at the new HH Stuff and well he convinced me to build an army.... it was not that hard.

Hardest part about the Heresey is what army do I want to play:

Imperial Fists- Dorn is my Favorite Primarch, Storm Shields galore and Plastic Praetor Fafnir Rann! But yellow paint ugh

Sons of Horus- Big Man himself, Horus, Abaddon, Justerin Terminators, Terminators OH Yeah! All Terminators all the time will be a disaster in HH.

Raven Guard- Sneaky Stealthy, beaky! Umm no praetors, FW or GW, seems lacking.....

I pulled out my HH models I had at home and this was what I had

Fafnir Rann, 5 Reconnaissance Marines (Bought to be Raptor Sternguard), and Vigilator (for Lias Issoden Conversion).....Well Not wanting to paint yellow and with these models in hand the choice was obvious..

 

with this in mind I set off to start building.

Vigilator Counsel

Pathfinder Counsel

Reconnaissance Marines 

Knowing I need a Master Of Rites to Unlock Recon Company I set off to build one

Praetor Jump Pack and Raven's Claws

After Visiting my parents house I found some unbuilt scouts, platic Praetor and more Cataphractic Terminators 

Apothecary

Now to grab some parts to make Seekers when I get my starter

Manic Monday # 78

 

Not a rough day.....but a rough few weeks. 

Back on August 1st, I vowed the following models:

Librarian #3 and 5 Paladins (from the 10 man squad). Well everything went sideways and I was not able to paint until this weekend.  

Got the tabards and heads done, started one the weapon hafts on the Paladins but did not take a picture.

Well another weekend has came and went. Painted models, built a model, and played a Campaign Game for the Metal Head Armory Necromunda League. 

Painting/ Hobby Time:

On Monday in the Necromunda Campaign Rackets and Crock Pots the GM Entropmancer random drew our Rackets. I got Settlement Protection and Whisper Brokers. With Settlement Protection I was able to get 1 free Hanger On. Unfortunately I am lacking the parts to make the Flagellant but I did have parts to make a Hive Preacher.

Hive Preacher Olaf

Thursday evening/ Friday morning I finished my Bolter and Chainsword 12 Months of Hobby Challenge July Vow #3 and the priest for my Plodding Along Vow.

And then began working on the 5 Acolytes remaining, and by Friday evening 2 Acolytes were completed

Saturday I did some light running around and then  had my challenge Match against Unkle Sterben's Orlocks more on that later.

Saturday evening  I was tired after playing my campaign game but I managed to build another Zealot named Dumah for my Gang.

And to wrap up the weekend I was able to finish a 3rd Acolyte leaving 2 more to get done by the end of the month. 

• Completed Model Count for 2022: 68 models
• Warhammer New Years Resolution (Paint all 52 GK Terminators by 12/31): 30 of 52- 57% Complete

Game Time

So this week I challenged Unkle Sterben to a Necromunda game. The Racket I chose was Peddlers of Forbidden Lore, since this would link my Whisper Brokers Racket (D3 additional Tactic cards), and  allow me to choose which racket we are fighting over, and re-rolling priority if I win for PoFL Racket. Lots on stack after last weeks non showing. Entropmancer rolled the mission an scenario. Luckily for me it was Zone Mortalis so Blaze could be very dangerous. Unkle Sterben rolled badly for his deployment and deployed his gang. I stacked my Gang in my deployment zone and the game Began. Unkle Sterben won the priority roll and went first. Turn outs there was only 2 doors we could use to get into combat with each other. First turn was just redeploying of models with one door open. I lost priorty again and the shooting commenced.

 Unkle Sterben open fired with his harpoon gun and missed my Deacon with an Eviscerator, Deacon with a fire pike returned fire and set the 2 Orlocks on fire with one gaining a serious wound and leaving game. Next Unkle Sterben braved the guys on fire and open fired with his combat shotgun on the deacon with Eviscerator but only managed to blast the Deacon's cherub off the table. My Next turn saw me boss open a door and fire his exterminator into the Orlock Juves behind the door. One ran 11 inches while on fire the other ran 5 and the guy closest to door was pinned. And the juve got back up and attempted to auto pistol my Boss only to knock his cherub to the ground with a injury. My Brethren with  Grenade Launcher moved up and fired at the down models my Deacon had set on fire earlier, removing a second model. We both finished moving models and looked at the table. He had his boss and pet a broken juve and 2 gangers standing with 4 models down and 2 out. He voluntarily bottled to save his guys from the slaughter.

PoFL Racket achieved. With the money I earned this game and last week I was able to buy another Zealot Dumah, armor for zealots, incombustible hambruk for fire pike deacon and skin blade for the boss.
