Post Game day hangover

 

So yesterday was game day for the Metal Head Armory Group at Gamers Guild AZ.....I was able to get 2 1000 pt games in and went 1-1-0. 

First game as against GrimWeiss and his Army of the Reknown Vangaurd list vs my Raptors.....and well after losing my Captain in the First turn to mass amount of mortal wounds...the only model on both sides with an invulnerable save too and Invictor getting blasted the game went sideways quickly for me. My Phobos Librarian was the star of my army mainly cause he was able to gack so many models with smite then charge up his Spectral Blade. Reivers are no joke in the Vanguard list. I lost this game at the end, I had my Librarian with 2 wds remaining.....He hurt himself with a smite. I see the major problem of the Vanguard List is when we bump points up how will it deal with the Gladiator Lancer and everything else  others will add for the next 500 pts.

Second Game was against Unkle Sterben and his Bad Moon Orks.....toughness 5 ugh. I barely squeaked out a victory agaisnt him. Brotherhood Librarian Warlord deepstrikes in cast Vortex of Doom, on squad removing 4 models, wound warboss, and flyer. Next turn he is a puddle of goo from max damage Custom Mega blasters....12 freaking wounds off of 2 hits. I was able to Smite the Flyer off the Table from the terminators eventually. The Work Horse of the Game was Purgation Squad with 4 Psilencers 24 shots at 30" (Tide of Convergence) nasty really nasty if the unit does not move and gets astral aim off, which in 5 turns they moved twice and get the power off twice...

So 2 games in the book and well I had a lot of fun Playing my Grey Knights. More than I have had play Raptors or Adepta Sororitas. It maybe because it was a fully painted army.  But a tweak or 2 and I have my Crusade list. 

5 Days out

 

So in 5 days I will be joing the rest of the Metal Head Armory Discord in a few games of 40k at Gamers Guild AZ.  I have only 2 games of 9th edition under my belt both as my Sisters. We decided on 1000 pt games so I am either fielding my Raptors or Grey Knights. My Grey Knights by far are more completed as an army but the Raptors are sneaky and with my list I can deploy then relocate 5 Infantry units pre game. 

To do list:

Grey Knights:

Finish 2nd terminator squad and Terminator Chaplain

Raptors Decals and second washes, Magnitze bases

And continue woking on Indomintus Chaplain.....eventually I'll post pictures of him but for now here he is 

Manic Monday #64

 

Sucha crazy busy weekend....felt like I spent most of it driving around town....so tired. 

Thursday- Picked up more basing material at Hobby Shop Ran to FLGS and picked up Space Marine Data Cards and Invoctor War Suit. Went to Parents ended up having to mow yard...ugh. Went to grab my built reivers and found a 10 man squad unbuilt. Grabbed Reiver LT, Ravenguard data cards and Codex. Got home and started working on bases.

Suppressor bases are done

40mm Objective Counter bases

Bases for Entropmancer's Pteraxii Sterylizors

Friday- I then built 2 Reiver squads, Reiver LT, Invictor War suit and based all models. 

Saturday I busted out the airbrush and Primed and highlighted all the unprimed Raptor Units before having to drive around town for niece Birthday party.

After getting home I did the 1 wash on the recently painted Raptors Models

Sunday- I 'ardcoated Shoulder pads and Kneepads for decals.  I think started working on Indomintus Chaplain and the Grey Knight Terminaitor Squad and Chaplain. 

Terminators need some highlights, blades done, drybrushing and base ring painted and these 6 Terminators will be done ensuring Feburary Vow Completed (minimum 1 model) and Seriously (over 5 models) with 4 more Terminators to go and 2 weeks remaining.

Hobby Updates

So I slowly have been mustering my parts and forces for this weekend's build. And I have been thinking about my armies and collecting a lot recently. Maybe because I want to play a game or 2, or seeing the actual progress of my Grey Knights has lit a fire to accomplish more than I have. It maybe because I looked at my Raptors and seeing them at Step 7 of 13 which is edge highlighting and highlighting. Plus finishing basing.   

While looking for parts I found 5 plus reivers, but they are lacking melee weapons, I got them from a friend for free so that was a bonus and I should have weapons at my parents.  I then found 10 Infiltrators/ Incursors. I remember buying a box and splitting it with Entropmancer. I built mine as Incursors. Recently I received an unbuilt 5 man squad in trade from him plus I had 5 somehow. I think we each bought a box and split them....at different times. Entropmancer plays Iron Hands, so he removed Phobos stuff and switching to Gravis.This is just a just a thought.....written down or more accurately typed out. I think I may add my Primaris forces to the Raptors. and by that I mean the non Phobos stuff. Once I get the both Impulsors, 2 Storm Speeders, a box of Eliminators, an Invictor War Suit and A Gladiator tank not much more Primaris stuff I need or want. 

I have decided to switch Impulsor and drop a reiver in exchange for a Invictor Warsuit, I need to pickup up at FLGS, along with Space Marine Data cards. I am going to try to pick up more basing material at another hobby shop, grab some stuff from my Parent's house, (Reivers, Reiver LT,  Raven Guard Codex, cards, Guitar string and some other stuff) and then its off to build bases. 

 

I would like to airbrush Friday Afternoon/ Evening if possible, but that requires bases for Suppressors to be done and Invictor to be built into sub assemblies. I have Gym and vehicle Service so I need to get a lot done on bases today to reach airbrush goal. 

I need to finish my Grey Knight Terminator Squad and Chaplain so I can focus the last 4 characters. Grey Knight Terminators and Chaplain need washes on red parts, black over black and metallic parts, dry brush Grey knights Steel and then basing.  

I eventually need to get back to work on my Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas army. I have units in the built, primed, base coat and In progress stages but have not bee touched in a while.
