Distraction

As some of you may know ('video' gamers) Mists of Pandaria was released on the 25th and I've been really enjoying it, I've been playing World of Warcraft since its release way back in 04 so I might be a tad bit more distracted then normal, so blog posting might be at a minamal but all my wargaming porjects will remain on track!

Current and Future Plans

Just thought I'd do a quick update on what I'll be doing wargaming wise from now and to the end of the year.

So at the moment my 18th Birthday is coming up in eleven days and other then the boozing that comes along with it I'll also be playing with some new models! So I've asked my parents very kindly to buy some models for the occasion, so what I'll be getting is 11 Shermans, 3 Fireflys, an OP Sherman, a Rifle Platoon and another Sexton (which works out to around 145 dollars NZD, oh and also a bottle of Lindower Reserve lol!)which will round out my 1750pt Canadian armoured which I'll try and paint before the 31st of this month which will be a mission but I think I can get it done.

The next tournament I'll be participating in is Skitterleap (Run my Peter Dunn) which I'll be using Sam's Chaos Dwarfs that he is kindly letting me use for the tournament, I've been proxying with my Dwarf models for practice.  I think it is on October 17th ... I think, I'll have to check the little peice of paper I got at CTA's to be sure. The second one I'll be attending is Vermintide (Run my Neil Williamson) which is on the 17th of November which is my favorite one because I think 1200pts is a really good points level, and its a one day tournament with five games squeezed into it which gives me my sunday free to other things.

Pics of Current FoW Army

Hey guys, just thought I would post some pics of the all the stuff I've got painted for my Canadian/Polish Armored LW.

Sorry about the quality and quantity of pictures, I had quite a few more, but these were of the best quality so I thought I would just put these up.

Note: The reason my Stuarts look quite dirty is because I was thinking these things things are used for Recon and speed, so I thought I would paint as it has just been fighting through Normandy from June-July 1944. I think they came out quite nicely.

Old Glory Sextons just came in

Well, my Sexton 25" SPG just came in yesterday, so along with building and undercoating them, I did them same with my Stuart V's. So All I need to do is paint those up and purchase 11 Shermans, 3 Fireflys and an ARV.

Been gone for a while

Hey guys, sorry for not posting for almost a week, I've been down in Taupo for a hockey tournament and internet usage was at a minimal (we were seeded 13th out of 16 teams and came 5th which was pretty kick ass 2 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties. Very good result).

Just thought I would let you all know.

Cheers

Two Lists, very much the same, working on a thought

Heres my thought, In the usual list I take "Go big or go Home" is what I call, meaning I take five warmachines (two OG's, two GT's and a Cannon for good measure.) I put in a unit of 14 Quarrallers to use as my only infantry shooting unit to kill off the odd knight or chaff, but what I am noticing is that these guys just don't kill enough for their points (173pts) (I also can't make them rangers or give them GW because with this type of list, something has to give pts wise, and its the no GW's on Quarrallers) and it got me thinking. Why not add in some characters? Maybe two Slayers and another Master Engineer?

Here's my current list:

Runelord, Balance, Spellbreaking, Resistance, Stone, Furnace, Shield
BSB, Gromril, Resistance, Challenge
Master Engineer, Stone
30 GW Warriors FC
30 GW Warriors FC
29 Hammerers FC
14 Quarrallers, Shields, Mus
Str 5 GT, Accuracy, Engineer
Str 4 GT, Accuracy, Engineer, Burning
Organ Gun
Organ Gun
Cannon, Forging, Engineer

or


Runelord, Balance, Spellbreaking, Resistance, Stone, Furnace, Shield
BSB, Gromril, Resistance, Challenge
Master Engineer, Stone
Master Engineer
Dragon Slayer
Dragon Slayer
30 GW Warriors FC
30 GW Warriors FC
29 Hammerers FC
Str 5 GT, Accuracy, Engineer
Str 4 GT, Accuracy, Engineer, Burning
Organ Gun
Organ Gun
Cannon, Forging, Engineer

So I'm thinking those dragon slayers will . . . (I think) work better for protecting my warmachines/redirecting and a second reroll on the artillery dice is always nice to have as well.

Thoughts? 

No Vermintide for me!

Well I just found out that MOD 1 of the Army Reserve forces are on the 17th of Nov, so I won't be able to attend the tournament which is really unfortunate because its my favorite one and I really enjoy the premise of 1200pts and 5 games in a day.

My twin brother also planned on attending with Chaos Dwarfs, but as he is going to the reserve as well he won't be able to as well, team Canada is going to have to call it a miss this year :(

I even had T-Shirt ideas ... *sigh*
