The Internet Can Do Some Good

Over the years we've seen just how terrible people can be on the internet with trolls and bullies constantly attacking without any remorse for their victims. Then you here stories like this and you can still have faith in humanity. This is Markiplier and this is his story:

Elf Update

Change of layout to the unit. After reading the book Sword of Caledor, it occurred to me that the Elves of Avelorn are more attuned to using bows. That said, given that there already is a bow unit (Sisters of Avelorn) and I still need a counter unit, I decided to go with Sea Guard. To give them a more 'Avelorn' theme, I'm using Spearmen and adding bows/quivers to the models to give them the Sea Guard WYSIWYG rule while giving them an Avelorn paint scheme. So the new look force is this:

Heroes - Maidenguard of the Everqueen

Core - Sea Guard (21) with full command

Rare - Sisters of Avelorn (8) with High Sister

Total: 499pts

So this means I'm 8 Spearmen short, but I may get one or two rounds of shooting in (probably includes 'Stand n Shoot' reaction).

High Elves and Avelorn

So, High Elves were released today and my brother was lucky enough to get one of the 1000 limited edition books, looks nice too. Anyway, it was suggested I try my hand at doing a small group, specifically a group from Avelorn, home of the Everqueen. A 500pt list was done:

Heroes - Maidenguard of the Everqueen

Core - Spearmen (28) with full command

Rare - Sisters of Avelorn (8) with High Sister

Total: 499pts

 Given that High Elves are much easier to paint then those annoying extras on those blasted Empire State Troops, I'll probably spend more time trying to produce a good Avelorn bases (my Jade wizard is a good start). While High Elves are associated with whites and blues, Avelorn is more browns and greens, so we'll see what kind of colour scheme I come up with.

Note: I will still be finishing my Empire. This is sort of a side project and one that can easily be done given how easy the spearmen are to paint. Much like the Empire, this one is open to expansion later on.

The Music of Dungeon Defenders

In a quick web search I manage to find the OST of Dungeon Defenders. Oh hell yes. Now I finally get to listen to some of my favorite tracks from that game.

BTW, my most fav track from it is this one, the End Credits Theme. I love to here this one as it's used as the final wave music from the one level I play the most as Storm Spear the Summoner, City in the Cliffs.

An Upload.....finally.

Finally got some miniature pics uploaded. This brings the current Warband models to three:

1. Grimmo Ironbeard (Crusader)

 2. Specks (Jokaero Weaponsmith)

 

3. Maul (Warrior Acolyte) 

Note: Maul's base was re-painted to match the others (not shown in this pic)

Designs for the Psyker and Daemonhost/Xenos creature are almost done, with most of the Psyker being sculpted as opposed to converted. The Ur-Ghul just needs some slight conversion work, were as the Lizardman-like Xeno will need alot more converting.

Also, why the hell did I ever choose Empire as the good force to paint up? I know I've mentioned it before, but those little bastards they call State Troops have so many little annoying things to paint on them that it can really drive you insane trying to paint when you have to focus on such things.

Lesson of the Day!

Do not eat sour Skittles while drinking Pepsi, it does not help you when painting.

Inquisitor Warband Update

So, just finished both Crusader and Weaponsmith only to notice that their bases and all the other warband bases were different to the first model I did.......well shit. So as I wait for the wash layer to dry, I decided to show the list of planned members of the Warband.

1. Inquisitor - Finally finished the conversion - Just needs painting.

2. Arco-flagellant 1 - A Dark Eldar Ur-Ghul model with some conversion - Currently WiP.

2. Arco-flagellant 2 - Kroot warrion with some modifications - Jest needs Painting.

3. Crusader - Not sure what they call them now, but essentially a Space Dwarf - Completed.

4. Daemonhost - This isn't a Daemonhost but a warp-based xenos using Daemonhost rules - Still in design stage.

5 & 6. Death Cult Assassins - Dark Eldar Wyche models, based on a sort of lost Eldar world and the raising in their religion dedicated to the twin moon godessess - Both need painting.

7 & 8. Jokaero Weaponsmiths - Two means you always get something on their chart roll and it just seems nice to have two of them - One Complete, one not done.

9. Psyker - Again, another unknown xenos - Still in design stage.

10. Warrior Acolyte 1 - Genestealer Hybrid - Completed.

11. Warrior Acolyte 2 - Tau with some converion - WiP.

12. Warrior Acolyte 3 - Lizardman Sauris conversion - WiP.

So this is the list so far. I am open to adding more (an Inquisitor has different types depending on the circumstances of each mission) though I could easily create another Inquisitor or two and have a variety of strange minions. Who knows, there are all sorts of Xenos in the galaxy.
