Goatboy - It's Tuesday?


Goatboy here again - surviving Xmas with the best of them. I will be building and painting up my Contemptor dreads. One is going to be a Goat - thus a Space Wolves one and the other I plan on making a Chaos dread platform. That way we can test out Butcher Cannons and other junk.

My "I am done with Grey Knights" post is churning along nicely on BOLS. I am just tired of playing the same book. I get that way from time to time and just want something different. Plus I miss my goats. Here is the current list I plan on bringing on Friday.

HQ: Wolf Lord, Bike, Powerfist, Stormshield, Wolf Tail Talisman
HQ: Wolf Priest, Bike
HQ: Rune Priest, Chooser of the Slain, JaWs, Living Lightning
Elites: WG X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Melta X 3, Powerfist X 4, Storm Shield X 1, Bike X 1
Troops: Grey Hunters X 9, Mark of the Wulfen, Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 9, Mark of the Wulfen, Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Mark of the Wulfen, Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Plasmagun, Razorback, Dozer Blade, Las/TWL Plasma
Troops: Grey Hunters X 5, Plasmagun, Razorback, Dozer Blade, Las/TWL Plasma
FA: Swiftclaw Bikers X 5, Meltagun, Power Weapon, Attack Bike, Multi-Melta

I have some points left over - so will see. Either way this is what I have in my cardboard box to take up on Thursday and probably on Saturday. It doesn't have a lot of missiles and I could always add in two Long Fang squads if I wanted too. But I don't want too haha. The Razorbacks are a test to have 2 units that can stay home as needed to protect a home objective. I might only need one so will see.

Now onto the Paint list.

Me
3 Wolf Guard designs - Done! Pics below!
1 Plastic Dudesmen - Script in - need to draw it up later on today.
2 Primarch colored - One Done - maybe I will do another one!

Randy M
5 More Infinity Guys - in Pieces

Jens
2 Venoms - Primed!

Luis P
10 Necromunda - Primed - half have more paint
2 Mordhiem Guys - Primed
12 Necromunda Guys - In pieces

Michael S
Ork Flyer - Almost built - need a few more tweaks.
Gonna buy some flight stands from Dragon Forge to get these guys up in the air. I have seen them up close and at 4 bucks that is worth less pain.

I am sure I will end up painting something Goaty. I always do hah.

But onto some pictures.




I drew des!




I also changed up the art on my blog a bit. A new one will go up on Full of Monkey's site and this one was a - oh crap I got an idea and I drawz it last night. I still need to preview my Barbarian comic too. Lord lots ot do haha.

Oh I saw two movies - Sherlock Holmes and Young Adult. I liked both. I was a fan of the no nudity, 18th Century, Lethal Weapon Sherlock Holmes movie and the second one did not disappoint. Lots of action and Mr. Downey being Mr. Downey. I really like Jude Law in this too. Good movie all and all. I give it 3.5 Stars out of 5.

Young Adult is another one from the Juno crew. I liked it as it has Patton Oswalt in it. You don't like the main character because well - she is supposed to be a terrible person. But at least its a person you probably know or had flow through your life at some point. Still it was a good movie with dialogue that was sharp but not too sharp as to be unrealistic. Patton Oswalt was awesome as the anti romantic movie best friend role. Good job for sure but you have to like the type of movies from Diablo Cody.

Alright that is it for now. The picture is from a game last Thursday where I did 6 wounds to some Death Wing Terminators and this was the armor saves. Go go Goats!

Goatboy - Oh my Goodness it is almost Xmas

Woohoo!! I got the wifey things. She has a bday on the 30th so I got her things for that too. She is getting me the body for a Contemptor dread. It will have a Goat head on it because I obviously hate the game. Hehe. A buddy is getting me one too so that one will be a Chaos one as we need one for games locally. Beyond that I might buy myself something 40k. Who knows.

Speaking of 40k - here is my paint list. I have already started cuz I am a jerk.

Me.
Plastic Dudesmen - Finished!
Primarch - Finished!
Test Goat Guard - Built and primed!

Jens
9 Reaver JetBikes - Finished!

Randy
6 Infinity Guys - Finished
4 More Infinity Guys - Primed and sitting in front of me now.

Luis P
10 Necromunda Guys - Built
2 Mordhiem Guys - Built

Michael 3
Ork Flyer - Started the build Process

I also got all the pieces for a small addition to the Ork army I painted last month (small my ass - 40 shoota boyz and 6 nob bikerz hehe). They will have cool heads so look for those starting up soon.

I am excited about this new Goat Guard guy as it will mean I get to paint more goats. Yay for my own personal stuff! I still need to rework a logo and I am just stuck on the design for right now. Might look to a graphic logo for an Icon and then a more cartoon like one for my banner head. I need something different. I also drew up Mortarion and Dorn. Colored Mortarion and Dorn will be coming soon. From there I will color up some of the older ones and continue on my goal to get GW mad at me for drawing the Primarchs for fun. I should just make the Goat Primarch - Goaticus the Mad! In fact I will go ahead and do that damnit. Codex Goat.

Oh I have gotten a few games in with the same - gasp army. I am enjoying this current build so far.

HQ: Wolf Lord, Thunder Wolf, Storm shield, Powerfist, Fenris Wolves X 2
HQ: Rune Priest, Livinig Lightning, JaWs
Elite: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Wolf Tooth Necklace, Cyber Wolves X 4
Elite: WG X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Melta X 2, Powerfist X 2
Elite: WG X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Melta X 1, Combi-Plasma X 1, Powerfist X 2

Troops: Grey Hunters X 6, Plasmagun, Plasma Pistol, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
FA: Land Speeder Typhoon

I like it so far as it moves and has lots of dudes. Not sure if the Wolf lord is needed as much, but it lets me play with Lemmy my super Wolf lord model. He isn't as nutty as I normally make him but he works this way. I wish I could have Logan in there - as it would make my WG scoring. I could probably do that. It would be a monster set of scoring units and that might not be too bad. I wouldn't have the Rock - but still. It could be an annoying list. Blargh.

Now onto the Art and pictures portions.

I thought I had uploaded the Mortarion - guess I didn't. Will do a big art post later on this weekend I swear.

MINIS!










More art to come later on. Probably lists.

Goatboy - Whoa Friday.


This week has been a bit of a paint/art bust. I have drawn stuff - just haven't had time to color it up and make it all photoshop like. I did do the Plastic Dudesmen - it won't burn your eyes like the last one but I think it is pretty funny.

To give you an idea of how they are usually made - Wyatt usually comes up with an idea or I come up with some image - and then the writing happens and I just go from there with the art. lately the art has had a nice boost due to me drawing by hand instead of digitally. My hand drawing is a lot more - structure so it has a lot more confidence in the lines. Hopefully I will get a new upper logo drawn up that fits my brain. I got pieces done - and I just need to magically put them together in photoshop to make the magic happen.

But enough of that - maybe I will do a making of Plastic Dudesmen. Who knows - maybe the 10 or so fans that like it might enjoy it haha.

I got a game in last night with the Goats list I posted. I liked how most of it worked - I missed an assault hammer but still thought it worked well. I want to try adding in a hammer unit in there too - so here are some other thoughts. I also loved the WG walking Long Fangs. They gave me some interesting options and I felt pretty good about that choice. I am not sure on the Scouts as I didn't really need them - plus if I move into a small Death Star I might be fine. Will see if it can fit in the point limits I build out for myself. Oh and in the game Bjorn missed with a TWL lascannon. So someone got cured of whatever they had somewhere.

Anyway - the new thought list adding in things I like.

HQ: Wolf Lord, Thunder Wolf, Storm Shield, Powerfist, Fenris Wolves X 2
HQ: Rune Pries, Chooser of the Slain, JaWs, Living Lightning
Elites: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Cyberwolves X 4, Wolf Tooth Necklace
Elites: Wolf Guard X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Melta X 2, Powerfist X 2
Elites: Wolf Guard X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Melta X 1, Combi-Plasma X 1, Powerfist X 2
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Wolf Standard, Meltagun, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Wolf Standard, Meltagun, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Wolf Standard, Meltagun, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 6, Wolf Standard, Plasmagun, Plasma Pistol, Rhino, Dozer Blade
FA: Land Speeder Typhoon
FA: Land Speeder Typhoon

I think it will be fun - it will give me a mini Deathstar and I can use my super Goat Bro. I just need to make a really cool Goat Iron Priest. I have some made - but they are metal and I hates metal! Metal!!!

That I what I will play this weekend too. Will see if I can dump the Wolf Lord to a Battle Leader and fill out the Plasma Grey Hunter Squad. I just want to play Thunder Wolves haha. And Make a new one. I am actually excited about making some new models too. Woohoo Goatboy gets to paint more Goats!!

I have decided Dozer Blades are a must. I only failed one intial roll - but I was able to go willy nilly through terrain not giving a crap about anything. So thus my decision has been made.

I am hoping to get a Venom done tonight as well as the beginnings of the Wych squad. I hope to also get some base started on some of the Necromunda guys. Whatever I don't finish I hope to hit hard on Saturday morning in between my weekend game. Wish me luck. It is crazy how much better I feel when playing Wolves.

Goatboy - Its Wednesday - Woohoo Late post


Blargh! Late post - just a quick one. Going to start playing new stuff this coming week. I am done for now with the Knights. Going to try and discover something interesting for Wolves and BA - thus the return of the GOATS! It might mean more Goat painting too. Woohoo!

Paint list

Me
Plastic Dudesmen # 39 - NEVER STOPPIN! DUDESMEN 4 LIFE!
Tweak Logo art
Tweak book cover art
Banner art for Store

Randy M
7 Infinity - Need to tweak some faces - I think my flesh paint is acting crap
5-7 More Infinity Models - Need to build - with the rain might not get them primed

Luis P
2 Extra Mordhiem/Necromunda - DONE!
5 More random dudes for Necromunda - Primed!
1 More Mordhiem - Primed
Want to build more - but with the rain it is hard

Jens
3 Warriors - DONE!
2 Wyches - DONE!
7 More Wyches - Primed!
1 Venom - Primed!

And probably some ork stuff.

Need to pull out models for Thursday night gaming. Here is the list I plan on bringing up. Will see if this Wolf list works. It has no Long Fangs or Thunder Wolves. It is trying to utilize its ability to be completely mobile.

HQ: Rune Priest, Jaws, Living Lightning, Chooser of the Slain
HQ: Rune Priest, Living Lightning, Murderous Hurricane, Meltabombs, Chooser of the Slain
Elites: Wolf Guard X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Plasma X 1, Combi-Melta X 2, Powerfist X 3
Elites: Wolf Guard X 10, Terminator Armor X 2, CML X 2, Combi-Plasma X 1, Combi-Melta X 1
Elites: Wolf Scouts X 9, Meltagun, Mark of the Wolfen, Power Weapon X 2
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Plasmagun, Plasma Pistol, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
Troops: Grey Hunters X 8, Plasmagun, Plasma Pistol, Wolf Standard, Rhino, Dozer Blade
FA: Land Speeder Typhoon
FA: Land Speeder Typhoon

Basic list - will tweak it. Not sure on the Scouts - might look at another Grey Hunter squad instead as it might help shore up some nonsense. Yes it is a rhino wall - but I think it will work. I don't need Razorbacks as I should have enough to deal with things as needed. Plus I like Plasma as a just in case for massed Paladins or other nonsense. It should let me win missions instead of just crushing an opponent too - which is good.

Also tempted to test out this BA list. It is basic and lets me zoom zoom which is what I care about most of the time.

HQ: Librarian, Combi-Melta
Elites: Sang Priest X 1, Combi-Melta X 1, Lightning Claw
Elites: Furioso Dread, Blood Talons
Elites: Terminators X 5, TH/SS X 5
Troops: Death Company X 10, Lemartes, Power Weapon X 2, Powerfist X 1
Troops: Death Company Dread, Blood Talons
Troops: Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun, Razorback, TWL Plasma/Lascannon
Troops: Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun, Razorback, TWL Plasma/Lascannon
Troops: Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun, Razorback, TWL Plasma/Lascannon
FA: Storm Raven, Extra Armor
FA: Storm Raven, Extra Armor

Basic, simple and somewhat effective. That is all I really want to do - go 24 and watch things explode.

But that is it for now - more pics later on this week as I get them uploaded. Fun times indeed! And probably some art too.

Scott M
Start Ork Flyer - It keeps getting put aside as other things pop up - but I want to start one damnit!

So an interesting week. I get to play Santa at the wife's work place this next weekend. It should be fun and the continue jokes of my fattitude will continue. Jerks! Hopefully I will get some time to play some games later on that Sunday with some random Grey Knight nonsense I want to play. I am grabbing some real Space Wolf stuff so I might make a real Wolves army. Who knows. Or I just add to my pile of stuff.

Grey Knight list I want to play - No dreadnoughts!

HQ: Coteaz
HQ: Xenos Inq, Rad Grenades, Psychotroke Grenades
Elites: Purifers X 10, Incinerators X 4, Daemon Hammer X 1, Halberds X 5

FA: Storm Raven, Extra Armor
Heav: Dreadknight, Heavy Incinerator, Teleporter
Heav: Dreadknight, Heavy Incinerator, Teleporter
Heav: Dreadknight, Heavy Incinerator, Teleporter

Hits right at 1999 pts. The troops are worthless but it is one of those - push in one direction list. The question is do 3 Jumping asshole Knights work out better then just 2? If I drop to two this list fits at 1850 - for Adepticon. It is a thought - and I can make my crazy Dreadknight idea. It is nutty hahahah.

Alright enough of that - we really need a new edition so I have to make up other nonsense. Models!

Evil Dreadknight - he keeps getting more and more warped via jumping through the warp. WARP!!!





Alright more later on this week.
