I will be posting an update for the
campaign Wednesday. Lets just say the continuing battles against
BigMek
SkrapKlaw did not go so well this past week. I wanted to give
a little update about some non 40K stuff.
As you know we recently added an author
to the blog to write about Warmachine. I have picked up about 40
points worth of Cygnar. This is mostly thanks to the swag bag at
Adepticon this past year. Then thanks to eBay I picked up a unit of
Long Gunners and 2 units of Stormguard. I also got a deal bits
trading at Adepticon for a unit of Arcane Tempest Gun Mages. I also
snagged a Kara Sloan Warcaster from the shop as they had one sans
cards in the used case for $5 bucks.
So I have a nice shooty Cygnar force.
I guess I really just need to pick up a couple different Jacks to
really get the most out of Kara. Shooty ones. I have my eye on some
Precursor Knights and Ol'Rowdy as I also have a Captain Coleman
Stryker. I was warned that if I wanted to play friendly games at the
shop I was not allowed to use Victoria Halley as a Warcaster.
Tournaments is fine, but no friendly games. Which after reading her
card I agree. She is kind of broken, especially when I plan on doing
a shooting force.
I figure painting bright blues and such
will be a good break for me in between painting the horde of
Guardians I currently have on the table. So far the block of 40 I
have on the table is all base coated and just needs the final layer
and a little detail work. This brings the total up to 80 Guardian
Defenders. I am going to run the Guardian wall at the Michigan GT in
September I just have to figure out the Anti tank portion of the
list.
I have several tanks on the table as
well. I am building a StuG battery out of the Bridge to Bridge
supplement for Flames Of War. I have about 9 StuG tanks and 3 StuH
tanks as well as a King Tiger. I need to build a Pioneer Platoon,
but I don’t think the infantry I have will be able to do a legal
platoon. I may need to pick up a Pioneer platoon box.
I have my Rense System Navy Fleet
almost done. One more blister of Frigates, a cruiser squadron, 2
blisters of Phoenix destroyers a dreadnought and a carrier will round
out the fleet. I wanted to have it ready for UCON this year as I
plan on running an event. I will need more ships though to run the
event. Its a good thing the game is pretty inexpensive and most of
the guys at the shop have ships.
So I am in full swing for hobby stuff.
Its all on stand by at least for this week though as I am finally
finishing school. This is my last week of class. Also wish me luck.
As I write this I am waiting for a call back for an interview
Wednesday. I had a good phone interview with Mahle Industries this
morning and I am waiting for a call back for an interview time
Wednesday.
Well More updates on the campaign later
in the week.
Until then.........
Blood Runs, Anger Rises, Death Wakes,
War Calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure 'having more than I know what to do with' is part and parcel of these types of hobbies... I've got about £1,000 worth of stuff to be built/painted, some of it form 18 months ago :/
ReplyDeleteI also run Sloan. For my first 15 points I went with Her, a defender, and 2 Hunters. Lots of heavy shooting.
ReplyDeleteYeah I was looking at those jacks. I was going to run foot trrops that dont block LOS to really give a layered offense and defense.
ReplyDeleteThe more I have been playing Sloan the more I like her. And yes there is a very strong stigma against both versions of Haley. She is quite good at what she does
