Tweeria is being difficult. :/

Though they appear young and inexperinced to other races, Orc Rangers are the scout forces of their people, striking from stealth and fading quickly back into the mists.

Carefully watching the land below, the young Orc Huntress looks for her prey, heavy crossbow at the ready.

Uploading my new commission, by my good friend Deculture, who's Pixiv can be found here: http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=537957 As you can see, I have proper use of this work. https://twitter.com/magicalgirlnoir/status/344018146698620928

I'll upload my other commish while I'm at it, to put them both in the same place. https://twitter.com/magicalgirlnoir/status/333907163674193922

Three 2+/5++ dudes...

Ok, been working on building up my Terminators. Me being me, I can't just build a box without kitbashing a little. Luckily, I've a big bag of bits I bought from the OLD GK models; I've been mixing and matching everything. I really like the plastic kits, though, because they give you so many little bits to play with. When I'm done, I should have... 17ish terminators, from the 3ed metals, 5th ed plastics, and Black Reach conversions. Here's what I got built last night. Master crafted Hammer/Storm Bolter, who I'll use as Mordrak when needed : A Black Reach terminator, with his chest and face cleaned up to look more like a GK : And another Black Reach termi, who's got a cleaned chest, face, and arm swap. I think the axe arm used to be a Chaplin's crozius, but I just swapped the axe head in :

Return!

I have not posted on here in YEARS... oh well, maybe time to restart. Current armies: Sisters of Battle (current name Crimson Echoes, may switch to grey color scheme) Grey Knights (Grey Wardens?) SM Bikers (built as Grey Knight bikers, name Grey Riders?)

New players! Also, a painting challange.

So, attempts to lure some guys at work into picking up the game are slowly producing fruit. One of them came over last Saturday, and I walked him through the basic rules, and pushed some models around the floor. He seemed to be picking things up quickly enough, so I lent him my 5th rule book and the Ork Codex. He seemed really into the Orks, which should be cool. I told him to pick up Black Reach, and he seemed receptive to the idea.

Anyway, fast forward a few days, and now we are meeting over at a different work friend's house, as others want to participate in the learning session. This is perfect; a chance to show the game off, and help guide new players in, while doing really basic level rules teaching.

I told him to attempt to build a basic 500 point Ork list. The plan is for me to bring terrain and 2-3 500 point armies to fight against. I'm thinking a Suit filled Tau list, as he mentioned that his brother might be interested in something along those lines, along with a Tyrant/'fex 'Nid list, showing it off and perhaps getting someone interested in buying it, perhaps. Old codex, but whatever. I could do PDFs, but I suspect the physical version of the rules will help A LOT here.

The last list I figured would be the 'boss' list, so it's time for the ladies. An Immolator and two Rhinos should do the trick, filled to the brim with power armor. The Immo's got Linked Heavy Bolters, and the Palatine has a Combi-flamer, but otherwise it's all Bolters. We'll see, though I've found that this is about... 25 points under the maximum number of 3+ saves (T3, too, but whatever) that you can fit into said transports.

I have a self challenge for myself that I'm curious to see if I can do. I'm off tomorrow, and otherwise have two mornings between now and Saturday. I'm curious to see if I can have a entirely painted 500 point Sisters list by then... By my rough count, I have somewhere near 10-15 Sisters and a Immolator to paint. Previously, it's taken me 1-2 hours to paint one Battle Sister, so we'll see...

Ugh, not much new stuff to post. I've been working on my Grey Knights, getting them ready for the new codex. The things I've been doing should, hopefully, all stand the change. I've been busy magnetizing a dreadnought, along with painting up some models. I've got a Terminator and a PAGK down in what I think is going to be the new style; we'll see, it's dark, but a bit of a blue highlight/wash could help give it some punch. It should give a look remarkably like this blogs color scheme, actually...

Either way, I've also created a new Sisters list, this one Mechanized. Thanks to a new Predator I just recently got, I have 3 Rhinos, now. Here's the list.

Talked to a guy at work, it seems that his group of friends plays Heroscape, but were looking at switching to a new game. I took the initiative, and mentioned 40k, and it seemed that they had already been considering it. I mentioned that I played, and that he should get into the game. While I was at it, I offered some of my extra models to help some of his less monetarily fortunate friend get into the game. It seems he was already looking at Tyranids, and I just happen to have a set that I don't really want anymore...

We'll see, there might be a new group of people that get into the game...
