Painting Challenge 2013: April

Late as usual but you know the drill by now. Here's what I painted in April.


Warriors of Chaos

6 Warriors of Chaos 94 Pts
1 Chimera 275 Pts (This one is upgraded with both Regen and Breath wpn, because it will pretty much always be fielded that way)

WZR: Bauhaus

2 Ducal Militia 17 each = 34 Pts (in the Warzone 2 ed book If I recall it correctly)

Total this month: 403 Pts

Not much it seems but that Chimera eats up some points, so not that bad actually. Next month won't turn out as good though. But we will see by the end of the month (or next month :P). I will do some more Empire work again trying to paint up my Hurricanum also have an urge to paint up an Demigryph Knight in Black Rose colours and just need build another one up first. I have some more stuff to complete with my WoC as well, right now I will probably focus on my three Skullcrushers, one Gorebeast Chariot and my BSB on monstrous mount.

Warzone Resurrection Rulebook preview and Box art!

Got another update from Prodos who is really busy right now getting everything ready for the first release of their products in June (which is going according to plans so far we where told by Mark Rapson from Prodos in the second issue of Doomtrooper Radio vidoecast).

Anyhow it is always a big joy when we get any bit of news from Prodos and now we are really seeing stuff is nearing completion. With an really nice pic from the rulebook and a preview of the box for an Eradicator. According to Prodos these boxes will be different for each corporation and have different/relevant theme, same about corporation pages in rulebook/boxes. Yea for this game even the boxes is really interesting for me, please Prodos give us even more pictures! June can't get here soon enough.

Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Kickstarter, just 19 Hrs left

Yes this KS is now in it's final day and it's just 19 hours left as I type this. What a ride it has been though, it has been smashing their Stretch goals lately and the sweet spot pledge lvl (Battlycry) is getting more and more stuff in it. And that was a sweet deal even beforehand.

The last thing that was unlocked was an additional Super Valkyrie in Battlecry and above pledges making it two Super Valkyries in Fighter, Guardian and Battloid modes. Just check out below what you get in the Battlecry pledge, that is a lot of miniatures and other stuff for that prize.

So you pretty much have your bases covered with this box, I will add some stuff we aren't getting however (or will we?) some Armoured Valkyries, Zentraedi Infantry and some Ghosts. And the Ghosts is the next box to be upgraded, so pledge on now people so I get more Ghosts in the box and more stuff in my Battlecry pledge! :D

3 days left of the Robotech® RPG Tactics kickstarter

The Robotech® RPG Tactics kickstarter is really gathering up some steam now in it's final days. It's breaching several stretch goals every day and the deal is too sweet to pass up. So follow the link below and take a look for yourself. 

Imperial Guard: First test model finished

I didn't really know how I wanted to paint these up, I had one idea though. I want them to fit together nicely when standing together with my Guardians of the Covenant but still look IG. So the palette I had to choose from pretty much is metallic, grey, black, red and some green. So this is what I came up with, tell me what you think.

It may not be the best model I have painted but I painted him up rather quickly just to see if I liked the colour scheme. And I think I do, may be needing some tweaks here and there though.

This is the last update (at least when it comes to painting and such) for at least a week as I'm travelling to Rhodes tonight. I may post some news updates if I feel I have the time but anyhow until then take care. 

Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Even more freebies unlocked!

Yeah the Showdown deal is getting better and better (and the ones above) we hit two goals today so we get an additional Phalanx and Spartan destroids as well as three Gnerl Fighters. See the latest update from this KS below. 

Two Bonuses Unlocked!Update #54

Wow, two stretch goals unlocked almost simultaneously! 

3000 Backers

We hit 3000 Backers first, so all pledges of Battle Cry and above receive an additional Spartan and Phalanx destroid! 

$625,000 Reached

Next we hit a phenomenal $625,000 unlocking 3x Bonus Gnerls for every pledge of Battle Cry and above! 

$650,000 Stretch Goal

Next up is the Serau-Ger Heavy Infantry for Zentraedi. These are available as an optional 

Purchase Add-on or 6x Serau-Ger for $30.
Finally, we've updated the Battle Cry pledge graphic with the new bonuses. Look at all that stuff!

Can't wait to get my hands on all that stuff, also this KS is very nice to follow as you get more bang for your buck so often. Awesome!

News: WH Forge Night Goblin Squig Gobba

Finally something new released from Warhammer Forge! Got the latest Wh Forge Newsletter and it features the new Night Goblin "war machine" the hilarious Squig Gobba which we have seen before. Now it is finished and out for order, and I must say I am a little tempted. The model is really cool and fun, I just hope to see we will see something for the other types of goblins as well in the next Wh Forge book, Night Gobbos already got plenty of stuff.

Anyhow the model is cool and I may buy one in the future to have as an count as Rock Lobber.

Down below are what they wrote about in the Newsletter as well as some pictures. For more info and pics go to their website here.

Night Goblin Squig Gobba
The Squig Gobba, as it is known by the common soldiery of the Empire, is a fearsome sight amongst the Orc & Goblin hordes. Dragged and prodded onto the battlefield by its malevolent Night Goblin tenders, it is a huge beast with an oversized gaping maw, a set of extremely powerful lungs and a ravenous appetite to rival even that of a Troll! 

With the Squig Gobba heavily chained into position to prevent it bounding off after the first tasty morsel it spies, its tenders start dragging lesser squigs from the cages surrounding them as battle is joined, slicking these vicious beasts with foul-tasting noxious liquids. This not only renders the creatures senseless for a short time, but also prevents the Squig Gobba from immediately swallowing them as the stunned squigs are unceremoniously stuffed into its jaws!

Soon the Squig Gobba’s mouth will be full to bursting point, with thick globs of frothing acidic saliva dribbling constantly forth. Then it is only a matter of time before one of two things happen: either the Squig Gobba will vomit forth its mouthful of now monumentally furious lesser kin, causing chaos and panic on a grand (and thoroughly disgusting) scale amongst the enemy army’s ranks; or the great beast itself will explode in a blazing fireball, as the Night Goblin ‘concoctions’ that coat the squigs react spectacularly with the Squig Gobba’s stomach juices.

The Night Goblin Squig Gobba is a multi-part resin kit designed by Keith Robertson. This improbable war ‘machine’ is packed with detail, from the terrified squig being lifted into the maw of the Squig Gobba, and the variously panicked and angry munitions being spat into the air, to the cruel and sneaky Night Goblin tenders themselves. This fantastic kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 31st May, and you can download a set of experimental rules from the Forge World website now.
