Manic Monday #77

 

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 
• Bolter & Chainsword: 12 Months of Hobby Challenge: Jan-Mar, June, July- Completed

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. 

Manic Monday #76

 

Its that time I year I hate....Heat Advisory time....today is expected to be 114* to 116*. So definitely going to stay hydrated and and stay our of sun as much as possible.

HOBBY TIME

So besides that I have a slight hiccup in modeling time this week due to emergency call off and working extra hours. But oh well. Friday and Saturday, I sat down to paint and was able to knock out part of my 12 month Hobby Challenge on Bolter and Chainsword Plodding long vow....a Servo Skull

Small Victories... Well I did also finish the last 2 models for July Vow #2 also

So far in the month of July I have completed 14 Grey Knight Terminators and a Servo Skull...I am pretty happy with those numbers:

• Completed Model Count for 2022: 63 models
• Warhammer New Years Resolution (Paint all 52 GK Terminators by 12/31): 30 of 52- 57% Complete 
• Bolter & Chainsword: 12 Months of Hobby Challenge: Jan-Mar, June, July- Completed

Vow #3 will be this little guy

Along with my plodding along vow of 5 Acolytes and 1 Priest for My Inquisitor. 

Saturday Afternoon was Necromunda game time, more on that later. But I was able to get my Inquisitor Erasmus Cartavolnus model from Entropmancer. And I set up his sub assemblies for the next vow.

I also purchased my Next Gang for Necromunda.....and possibly 40k.

Boss- Check

Gangers- Check (20 of them)

Champions - Check

Vehicle- Check

Just need to get the Book of Ruin for them. I also already picked up codex and cards.

And then I was able to purchase my 2nd Thunderhawk for my Grey Knights this one will be built in Flight mode. 

GAME TIME

So Saturday kicked off Metal Head Armory Necromunda Campaign. It was a multiplayer Zombie hunt game.  Each of the 7 Players got 3 random models from their gang. In attendance were Entropmancer with his Goliaths, Unkle Sterben with his Orlocks, HeiYuh13 with Corpse Grinders, GrimmWeiss with his Cawdor, Ramah Stormset with his Enforcers, gameranma with van saars and my Redemptionist. GrimWeiss had 2 gangers so he got an additional 2 cawdor gangers for a total of 23 player models. We were fighting each other and zombies..3 zombies per model on the table....69 zombies. 

This was the start of the game. After 3 turns we called it. I had 1 zombie kill, no flamer fuel, autopistol was put of ammo, I did manage to piss off the Enforcer player by setting his concussion rifle enforcer on fire. The Van Saar Leader did fire his lascannon and failed to wound, pinning my cherub. I did fire a exterminator in to 2 Orlocks but that was cause there was 2 zombies in melee with them....did not kill either one but made and orlock and zombie fall of the gantry.  After the game we realized this should have been 2 games instead of one. Next week I am challenging Unkle Sterben to game!

Manic Monday # 74

 

"If it does not hurt, it does not count!"
Klovis the Redeemer

Well it is amazing what a few days off  (Wed- Sun) will do for you. I was able to get a ton of painting done this weekend, with the exception of Sunday, but still painted. I feel rested and ready to get this week over with to take Thurs- Mon, off. Hurray Holiday Weekend. Well lets get busy talking about the paint projects and Hobby life.

With Metal Head Armory Necromunda Campaign starting soon, I really needed to decide on which gang to build. Well So Far we have: Van Saar, Goliath, Cawdor, Orlock, Enforcers, Corpse Grinder cult (questionable) and well either my Delaque or Cawdor, or Redemptionist....So full blown Redemptionist it is. I needed to restart my 12 months of Hobby challenge on Bolter and Chainsword so I vowed my Redemptionist. So step 1 ensuring I had enough models built for starting 1250 credits. I didn't so I had to convert a Brethren Specialist with Grenade Launcher

Cherubs I stole from my Adepta Sororitas before finding 2 unbuilt ones

So I primed them Wraithbone and went to work on a test model. 

Brethren Specialist Camael

I was very happy with how he came out. so I started working on more of them.

And eventually I started just working on model to replicate the Specialist's scheme

Brethren Specialist Camael, Deacon Sarathiel, and Cherub Asmodel

Well by the time the weekend was done this is where I am at with my Redemptionist Gang "By Faith and Fire"

and I did locate my "Rogue Doc" Figure I'm using for my gangs.

Model is from the old Tanith First and Only Pewter kit, Chief Surgeon Tolin Dorden.  I need to strip the model and start prepping him for games.

On the non painting hobby front, Book of the Outlands which has VDR in it was released. 

I was not going to buy it but the local Warhammer Store said it will be part of the next years campaign along with Book of the Outcasts.

So I will need to  get a copy of the Book of Outcasts too. I think I am going to pick up the Necromunda Hive War box set, for the terrain and models.

This would give me the much need 10 more Delaque models I need, Terrain, Entropmancer needs a new rulebook, and accessories we will need. And well the Eschers....Yeah I may build and paint them.

And on Preorder this saturday.......

In other Hobby news, Bolter & Chainsword has gone through a major upgrade on servers, and well they added new Moderators, including yours truly, so I will definitely be busy on there.
