New Army Takes shape

After a couple of eBay buys and some GW store buys,

Okay Here is what is rushing its way to me at a snails paces.

90 Ork boys - total 60 dollars

6 Warbikes (lets not talk about these)

Ghazgull thraka- he was a steal like 15 dollars, bought him more to paint.

Oh Yes If any of the readers lives in the DFW area, and enjoy scratch building, Asel's art supply, near the UTA campus is having a sale on styrene. Evergreen styrene for 50 cents rather then 3-4 dollars a pop, bought 150 dollars worth of brushes and styrene for 16.83. Good deal if I say so.

If I am facing armor I will field more combi rokkit, on the bikes in lew of a couple of big choppas.

Against an infantry army, I think I may take more slugga and choppas, and big choppas on the nob bikers.

Wondering if I should be taking 3 power claws of just more BC since if I am assaulting a tank I hit its armor 10 rear. Where I would only need 4+ to pen. That’s if untouched against the tank is 21 attacks rolled some dice the average was 3 glancing and 4 penning. Even if I don't kill the tank it is not moving shooting and drolly going to lose its main weapons and off charge the boyz again. Turbo boost, assault that’s all they are going to be doing.

updates updates long nights of painting

Here are some pictures  of the dreadnoughts main body. Like I said trying to make it look the opposite, of my marines. I tried to make the Green visor slit look like it was glowing may add some white highlight to it. 

Started off with Grey primer coat.

Layered with hairspray lacquer.

Then added tamiya deck tan and the Dark Flesh. half and half.

Took a stiff bristle brush and  added weathering, then  washed over the areas withe sepia and black washes. 

Edged some areas with charcon grey. Some Boltgun edges and topped off screws. 

Added the green to the visor slit. Got sleepy. 

Made post. Stared at the cat while she played with the door. 

Behold the dark child, harbinger of furred death. MY KITTY ISIS.

Howdy Ho their Nieghborrinos,

I had A brain storm while i was sitting through class.

I am deciding if i want to start an ork army, i have always enjoyed the ork lore and the look, but have never started one since i have always had marines. 

But here is My 1000 point list,

1 Warboss on warbike

Powerclaw, shoota/rokkit

10 Nobz on Bikes w/ Painboy

6 Big choppas; 3 Powerclaws

30 Boyz 

Slugga and shootas; 3x big shootas

1 deff dread

2x bigshoota

995

Don't quote me on the points i think i may have them bit off. 

But the paint scheme I was thinking about would be a parody of my company the colors would be reversed and along with ork-ied up and have bitz of marine armor mixed in.  Some conversions of biker nobz would have chopped marine bikes or maybe even a land speeder as  a big buggy/bike. But I was hoping to snag a tau battlesuit and  model and ork on its back, with wires in its hands to make it look like he  moves it by jump starting it and a dead tau hanging snagged and stuck in the cockpit. One idea i really liked was having a biker nob and alittle side car for his gretchin buddy and give the side car a dakka. just kicking stuff around.

Tactical and Dread

Lack of updates, yadda yadda, Here is the Full Tactical squadive been working on behind the curtains.

Sgt. [input name here]







First Part of the Tactical Squad, Sarge with Powerweapon and combi-plasma, Plasma cannon.







And here is the standard AoBR dread, I call him Smashy.
Used balast and chewed up spur, for the base. Then mixed up some simple baking soda-glue-paste-would-be-snow, mixture.

two words

watchmen awesome

must stop watching the idiot box

Do you ever See those bad military movies where the would be terrorist or person with a problem. The bombs they make are huge I mean dozen sticks of TNT or what would seems to be a couple of kilos of C4 or cemtex. I know there is a bit of Hollywood at work here but in this movie that is causing this reaction a terrorist has a vest strapped with HE, I mean enough to level a building, with a few guys standing around him guns drawn and then ka-boom, terrorist gone but all the guys around him , tunr to give the smeer that was thier buddy a look and then walk away, what crap is that if your close enough to read the writing on the H-E's packaging, you are dead not slightly flash sunburned, but dead... dead....dead....RIP...inaccurate facts in movies make me irate, my better half says I do it in era pieces where they have particular weapons (like ak-47 in WWII) that weren't invented yet.
When a bad ass looking guy walks in to a bar with background music following him, and carrying a small fluffy animal, why must the local bar scum have their asses kicked in because they’re too stupid to understand movie plot and that the guy walking in will MESS. YOU. UP. Then again this opens up the alley of interest of will the bar scum come back and fuck something up for our would be hero or get in the way and get killed.
The hot supervising officer that happens to be the only women in the unit why must they be such hard-ass with a soft nuggety center which means the hero will prolly tap that later on the movie, too early to tell who will be the spurned love interest.

Watchmen and Chuck Norris

Just finished reading watchmen, it was a little different from what I expected; I know there weren't true super humans in it but more average humies in costumes. But the under lying message that we (as people) are fucked up and everybody's parents can mess up your entire life, kind of was a letdown. Hopefully the movie will be less message-y and more actiony.
Did like crazy ass rorsach. He does remind me of an Uncompromising Inquisitor, busting heads and taking names while looking to fulfill goal thingy-ma-jig.
But all in all, I’d rather just get my money back but since my brother wants to read it I will hang on to it.
But at least I can act all superior and LEET when we get to the movie theatre, using my LEET-ness to punish the noobs. I fully support the American comic industry and although he isn’t really the hero in the book/movie (to come), more a vehicle to get the authors message out. I would rather the story have a little more to it then the three major ideas in the story, rape (or supposed rape), megalomania, and a frame up.

Sleepy now, more TV and more cleaning.

Side note, watching chuck Norris’s “walker Texas ranger” and he is reliving his past lives, odd spin off after the show was losing popularity, and he happens to be a ranger in the cowboy Indian days and wow the acting is still bad….. Why doesn’t he have the ability to express emotions…? I think his horse in said episode is better at showing it’s not a martial arts killing machine with tears to cure every known diseases. Or maybe he is just a space marine in training. (Oh and the pictures talk… creepy)

q and a

Would you buy the ork stompa with the excuse of creating an ork army but really you just want a bad ass looking kit. yes or no?
