Goldorak Go!

By netfrost

So, I was magnetizing my Defender a few minutes ago, and as I’m putting the magnets in the fists, all I could think of was this old Japanese Animation they used to play here in french called Goldorak (Grendizer in english) who could shoot his rocket boosted fists at enemies…

I have to say, I’m quite impressed with my magnetized jack but it sure does take alot of magnets…

In order to be able to switch from Defender, to Ironclad, to Cyclone… (not including head swaps) you need like 14 magnets.

Now, to paint him… Then I’ll just need to get a blister of trenchers and either a new box of stormblades, or something of equivalent points…

This is no man’s land

By netfrost

Got a bit of painting done…

I started work on my Trenchers… as mentioned before, one trencher in the box suffered from a broken gun, so, as you can see from the image, there’s only 4 grunts and their boss…

All that’s really left on them is the backpacks, countless pouches and the grenades… highlights, then to get more :P

Once I’m done with these guys (and the replacement), I’ll be working on my Defender (who already has been primed and has the regular metal bits painted)… The fun thing with this jack, is that he’s completely magnetized, so I can swap out the arms and turn him into an Ironclad or Cyclone… I picked up 50 1/8″ Rare Earth magnet rods today… so I just have to add them :)

On a completely un-Warmachine related note, I’ve also continued work on an Ork project I started aeons ago, when they released the latest Orks…

First up, is the warboss and his mega nob retinue

Then we have the first of 3 Killa Kans, named Blinky, he’s sporting the very fashionable, Burna and Buzz Saw.

Next up is Grumpy, Grumpy has this year’s model of Grotzooka, with Kill markings.

Last, and definitely least is Harold. Just like his older brother Grumpy, he’s wearing a Grotzooka… but, Harold has yet to distinguish himself.

I have yet an other assembled, but unpainted Kan, with an Oil Drum converted as it’s Grotzooka, the idea was to have a unit of 3 Grotzooka Kans, and an other unit with some other armamements…

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m exhausted… zzzZZzzz

An other one bites the dust

By netfrost

Finished Reinholdt last night/this morning :)

He didn’t take long at all and looks great.

I decided to give him a bit of a Cygnar look, since he’s only ever going to be used with my guys in blue.


I simply have to add the front arc markings and coat him.

So now, I have Stryker and Reinholdt done, I have 3 Trenchers with completed jackets and chainmail and a primed plastic heavy jack.

Tomorrow I have a game scheduled with Jyggdrasil and I have the rest of the week off, so my goal is to have my multijack finished tomorrow and well as my trenchers (minus the one missing a gun barrel)

Slow Grow is Slow Moving

By netfrost

Wow… This is just not moving at the pace I wanted it too… but it’s my own damn fault.

Suffering from Gamer A.D.D. is not a f… ooh shiny!

Where was I? Oh yeah, so, a couple of buddies and I started playing Star Trek Online, which has taken most of my time… but I am now  a Lieutenant Commander, so I get to pick a new ship…

I’ve also been planing the start of a Descent Journey in the Dark campaign… which I’m really looking forward to.

In regards to the Gamer Journal though, I did manage to find a Reinholdt mini this weekend… he’s now primed as is my unit of trenchers (minus one who’s rifle barrel snapped off), so I’ll need to get a blister of them… and my Stormblades are pretty much screwed…

They were 2nd hand minis, and the paint removal process ended up removing detail… so once primed… they look like crap… so either I have to get a new box or swap them out for a Hunter (which I think may be better)

He’s Done!

By netfrost

Coleman Stryker is finished!

All I have left is to seal him, but he’s done! All the little pouches, done! All the little bolts and highlights, done! All the black lining, done!

YAY!

So now, according to plan, I need to finish priming Trenchers and start base coats…

One week in…

By netfrost

Wow I suck… Typically I can paint a storm… we’re one week in, and I’m still not even done the first mini…


Here’s my plan..

  • Tonight: Finish Stryker
  • Tuesday: Finish priming Trenchers and start base coats
  • Wednesday: Try to finish Trenchers
  • Thursday: uhh… yeah
  • Friday: Go out with the wife
  • Saturday: Find a Reindholdt, and a box of stormblades (don’t ask) and the correct sized magnets for my defender
  • Sunday: n/a
  • Monday: Prime Reindholdt and Stormblades

I think that’s as far as I can plan…

But I also have to say… wow, we’re up to 14 people in the league… I’m so happy about that!

Non update

By netfrost

I got NOTHING done last night… I got home and crashed on the couch… made dinner, Ange got home from her spinning class at 6:45 or so, so we had dinner, cleaned up, watched a bit of TV, while I drooled all over the Forces of Warmachine book and that was that.

But on a good note, I actually have a game scheduled for Saturday against Jyggdrasil… This should be interesting cause I haven’t played in over 3 years.

It’s a 35pts game… I have enough Cygnar to field that, but most aren’t assembled and now missing tabs, so I can’t even play with them unpainted… Menoth it is… hmm which caster? Good ol’ pKreoss? the HR? Feora? or should I try one that I’m not used too? I’m looking at you Amon and Reznik!

On an other note, I’m also having lunch with everyone’s favorite Necrotite Bunny today… cause SOMEBODY is all needy and stuff and NEEDS his bases…

Pretty…

By netfrost

So decided to take an extended lunch today and drove out to the Wizard’s Tower to get my geeky little hands on the new Forces of Warmachine: Cygnar Force Book…

I have to say… I didn’t like the idea of Codex style books, but wow, it’s a nice book, great art, cool themed lists… can’t wait to get home and start reading it

Things are moving along

By netfrost

So, I actually got ahead of my game this weekend. Surprisingly since I did alot of non-Gamer Journal related gaming stuff.

First, with the Journal news…

I have finished all the bases for the list I finally came up with… oh? What’s the list you ask?

  • pStryker
  • Reinholdt
  • Defender
  • Stormblades
  • Min Trenchers

Stryker, well cause I like the Alternate Sculpt mini… and I actually used him in the past… Reinholdt, as much as his abilities are useful, he’s mainly there to fill in that extra point.

The Defender is there for many reasons… with some Khador and Menoth opponents, I’m sure I’ll be facing quite a few heavies, and he’s got the stopping power and has the shock hammer to do some cortex damage.

Then I had to take the trenchers as I just love the look and theme (and will add to it),  yes, they’re really expensive… and kinda squishy… but can’t I go for aesthetics?

To add some melee power, I added a unit of Stormblades.

So far, I’ve primed Stryker and started painting his jacket, finished the bases for everything, primed the stormblades and painted the metal bits… I still have to get some smaller rare-earth magnets in order to assemble my defender and have to find a reinholdt.

So, as I mentioned, I did a lot of other gaming related stuff this weekend… well Cangames is coming and I figured I should start work on the tables and terrain while I have lots of time… so I went to various shops around town and got materials I needed…

I completed a few linear obstacles for one of the themed tables… rows of crates and of ale barrels.

I also cut out enough rivets for a few of the buildings I’m making.

All in all, a pretty good weekend
