HomeCon

So I managed to get snag the last spot for HomeCon which is sort of a casual thing at Peter Dunns place (12/13 January with a BBQ as well... awwwwesome) so I'll bring my Dwarfs down most likely, I really want to try my new 2013 tournament list, but that all depends on when my 42 hammerers come in (around early Jan hopefully) and how long it can get me to get them painted. I've decided that I won't play with unpainted armies anymore which is quite a revelation for me really, but a good one :D. So If I don't get them painted in time, I'll just have to rule with my normal artillery park and constantly laugh at opponents. Until they reach my lines and I realize my three blocks just won't cut it! (3 units 30 I noticed just won't do it for some reason...). But my army will be ready in time for Natcon and the rest of the year.

FoW Update!

So here are the pictures for the Infantry and Bren Carrier models I got last weekend or the weekend before. re-based the Infantry and repainted the Brens.

Quick Update

So I managed to get my hands on a infantry platoon and three Bren Carriers for only $20 which is a fantastic deal! The Infantry were painted nicely and I just needed to re-base them and repaint the Brens.

On another note I've ordered some Warmachine Models - 10 Winterguard, Winterguard Officer + Standard, 3 Rocketieers, Jozef Grigorovich and Epic Warcaster Sorscha and some 30mm and 50mm bases all for $120 which isn't bad at all (All from Waylandgames)

left: What the models look like that I have ordered (exluding the Warjack (Destroyer) Model.)


I'll also post some pictures of the FoW models I got later tonight when I can get my hands on the camera :D.

Cheers

Chirstmas break for blog

Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a while, due to Chirstmas coming up, I'll be taking a short break just until boxing day, then I'll be posting pic on all the new goodies I got from Santa... erm... my parents I mean*.

With the Warhammer tournament season being over for a while there won't be to much to post, cept pictures of recently painted models and such or some army list that pops up in my mind that I think can work (most of the time I'm just full of crap though lol). However, I might post something soon if anything pops up that is worth any interest :D.

Cheers.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Master's Results

Well the Masters have gone and past and the here are the results. Masterton's very own Peter W came second which is awesome due the underdog status giving to him because of his list. I thought it looked fine. But then again, who gives a crap about a Dwarfs opinion eh?

Congrats to Tom Dunn for taking out the fantasy tournament. Tom, Peter would be proud :D.

I have strong beliefs that I have some (a little) chance of getting to the Masters next year. Just got keep my head and the game, if Runefang (March I think), and the nationals (Easter Weekend) do me well, I should be in a good spot :D.

Flames of War update!

So here is the current state of my Flames of War army. I've played a few games (proxying some models like Russian infantry for the Rifle platoon and what not), the army will be finished around late December as I'm getting some 8 25" Pdrs and an infantry platoon from Santa *cough* *cough*... my parents, which will round out the entire army from 1750pts to 2000pts.

Note: Exclude the SP 25" Pdr Sextons, I won't actually be using these models, to expensive points wise for what they do, I just really like the models.

My Current lists;

1750pts

2 Sherman V's, 2 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 2 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 2 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 2 .50 cals
3 Stuarts
4 M10 Achilles (17" Pdr Variant)
4 25" Pdrs
Full Strength Infantry Platoon

2000pts


2 Sherman V's, 2 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 4 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 4 .50 cals
3 Sherman V's, 1 Firefly, 4 .50 cals
3 Stuart V's
2 Staghound I's, 1 Dingo, 1 .50 Cal
4 M10 Achilles (17" Pdr Variant)
8 25" Pdrs
Full Strength Infantry Platoon

I've tried other lists like the Guards Armoured Div from Hells Highway and the British Armoured lists from Fortress Europe but the costs for Vets are waaaaaay over priced and they just don't work in my opinion. Where as trained get a lot more for what they are worth... ergo, "Trained" but its not just that, the points that they are worth are actually about correct where as Vet Brit tanks shouldn't be what they are, which are 370-385pts where trained they are only worth 275-290pts.

Good luck to all the Masters contenders

Hey guys, quick shoutout to all the Masters contenders, I wish you all the best and hope you guys kick some ass. Specially Skaven ass ;D.

Good luck :D.
