Game of Thrones was great

Very impressive.

I was very happy with the first episode.  The entire time I was thinking: " I can't believe that HBO is doing such a great job."  Not that I  had doubts I just wondered if it was doable.

Got my pass for KublaCon

Got my pass yesterday and am now signed up to play.

I am running CSM Zilla this year.

 I am tired of trying to play powerlists and overthinking them everytime so I am going to roll this:
2 DP wings/nurgle/Warptime
2 CSM Dreadnoughts CC arms
2 Defliers CC arms
Summoned Greater Daemon
4/ 5 CSM squads 1 melta and Aspir champs in Rhinos
2/ 3 CSM biker squads 2 meltas 1 Aspir Champs with pfist

I might tweak some things to either get zerkers instead of csms or maybe some combi-meltas on the champs.

Its a pretty simple list and basically just charges forward and gets the shit shot out of it.

Waiting for my first Hordes minis

I was supposed to get them yesterday but I am hoping they show up tomorrow.

I am really excited to get my Circle Battlegroup in order to start building up this new army.  I grabbed the rules at Game Kastle last weekend and so far I really like it.  I can't wait to start playing some games and figuring it out.  The game has some nice complexities to it and I think will be one that you can really grow into.

First Warmachine/Hordes game

Got a chance to get a little tutorial last night of Warmahordes and I have to say I really enjoyed it.  Many thanks to our teacher who was very patient.  I think I got a slight grasp of the system last night and it was very interesting.  Much more involved than GW's ruleset in some ways and  the rules seem very clear.  I am very impressed by the rapid development of Army books and updates but I have heard they are having some problems keeping up with demand.

So the big new is that I broke down and started bidding this morning on a Circle lot on Ebay.  I have decided to go for the druids just to do something completely different.  If I really get into it than Cryx will be my Warmachine army but I want to kick off with the Druids.  Even if I dont win this auction I am going to grab some minis soon.

This means my new goal with the Vcounts army is to finish building them and get them play ready and I think I will bust into painting as soon as I can on the Orbos stuff.

Ghoul dipping

Dipped the first batch with my oil based neon green mixed with Army Painter combo.

It got a little globby but overall its ok.  I am a little worried that they arent going to look that great but we shall see.  I still need to hit them with the dullcote and touch up but they are almost there.

 I am not too concerned on these since I think if I really get into Vcounts I will be replacing the ghouls with GWs eventually.

Progress on the Ghouls

Not the most fun but it is moving forward.

I just got this first batch of 20 ready for a massive dipping session today. There is a couple of experiments going on here and I am having a lot of faith in the Army Painter goodness right now.

I just really want to power through these Ghouls because I think generally they look pretty booty.

Vcounts painting started

I will try and post some pics soon.

I have finally started the process with the vcounts and started in on my least favorite of the Mantic minis I got: The Ghouls.

I hope they look ok, I am going to try something a little different with the dipping by adding in some oil based bright green paint to the army painter stuff.  Hopefully it makes them stand out since they dont look too different than the Zombies.

The rest of the Mantic stuff is pretty cool its just these that sort of blow.
