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 #43

 Woot Woot...Finally got time to get some modeling done!

 So the week started out bad but it turned postive. Monday my Mailbox lock broke and my GF and I could not notify the USPS until Wednesday, which sucked since I had packages in the box. Wednesday the AC went out while I was working an 16 hour shift. So I had to contact my home warranty company and get that checked out. Luckily the company had a cancellation and was able to fix it Thursday. 

So Hobby updates:

Wednesday- Ordered Warhammer Plus and my Free model.

Thursday- I began moving my models back into the display Cabinets, starting with my Grey Knights. 

Friday- Moved my Raptors Space Marines, Adepta Sororitas, and the unbuilt vehicles for the Grey Knights over.  

In the evening I began building Castellan Crowe into sub assemblies to make painting him easier. I then built my 4 Assassins I have had sitting around for almost 2 years. I also picked up more Dr Drop Tops, GW Air paints, and White Dwarf  #467 while I was runnng errands. 

Saturday- With my overnight shift looming, I decided to relax and started building PAGKs. I was trying to decide between Interceptors and Purifiers and settled on Interceptors. So I built the Justicar weilding a Daemon Hammer, and with Entropmancer's suggestion, I built the 4 remaining guys as 2 swords and 2 halbreds. 

I found an extra blank shoulder pad and grabbed my Free Warhammer Store mini and removed one of the Grey Knight Shoulder pads and Now my Interceptor Squad has a 6th member with dual Falchions.

Once I was done I began removing  parts off the sprue and found 7 PAGK legs and I may have the torsos to make another unit....And this is before the 25 PAGK I have unbuilt in the boxes. 

While trying to take a nap, I received an amazon notification that Neewer 20in x 20in Light box I was watching was on sale for $25 off the $110 price. I was looking at for my GF's buisness and something I can use on occasssions I showed her and she liked it. 

I then ordered the Kill Team Ocatrius releases shown here and then I saw a Dreadknight on sale for $47 so I ordered a 5th Dreadknight. 

     

Sunday-  I got home from work and started looking at the 7 legs. I knew 1 set without Tabard was going to my 10 man Purifier Squad, Leaving me 6 legs. I grabbed the set of 4 legs, 4 torsos, backpacks, and weapon loadouts. I figured i get some sleep and then work on these when I get up. After my 3 hr nap I started working on Interceptor Squad 2- Daemon Hammer justicar, Dual Falchions for the squad to go with my free Warhammer Store Mini of the Month. 

I then began removing 5 Models off the sprue, along with 2 extra Incinerators, before heading off to lunch with the Family.

After getting home from lunch I started back to work on the 4 incinerator Purgation squad.

And after they were completed I like I finally accomplished something in my hobbying area after the last few months. 

Only 20 more PAGK's to build but 5 will be for Kill Team 2021.
