rudra34 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Changing the Seraph list a bit to ease painting and also to have a touch more utility. Now that I have them settle, the painting has begun! Rush for the finish line!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudra34 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Auxbot for the Seraph is all finished and based. Lets see if I can get the big boy done before I have to leave for work tonight.Also, in that picture I can see places on the father knight that need to be repaired. It really sucks when you finish a model, then as you're spraying a protective clear coat on it it falls to the ground and chips to s***. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudra34 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Seraph is done...for now. There are a few places that I want to touch up and, thanks to Eric, I have some decals that I can add to spruce it up. For now I am happy with it and it will look great with the rest of the lads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 One model left to go. I'm planning to get it done after work tonight, but this may be the part of the OFCC tradition where I should up with models that are still drying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Home from work, got a single fusilier sitting in my path, then hopefully a lot of sleep.Also printed lists from work. I didn't know if this worked like warhammer and we needed 6 copies, so I just made a couple of each. If it turns out I was wrong, I'll take my ass to kinko's and make copies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Alright, so there isn't really anything spooky about this blog. I'll throw in some ghosts or something to make up for it.So the fall league is starting up this weekend, and it's Ariadna's turn to hit the board. Eventually I'd like to build up a FRRM sectorial list, but for the time being I'm sticking with vanilla. The army has a lot of cool tricks, solid units, and a unique feel unlike any other. So far I've gotten in just one game against Pete's NCA. The game ended in a win for him, but I was impressed by the amount of pain the army can dish out while still being able to complete objectives. Also, having an army which is half or more camo tokens is insane. I'm looking forward to getting the league started off!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Dude you're gonna love them. I really love their unique feel and also think they are quite powerful once mastered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 First night of the league has come and gone! I got two games in against Pete's NCA and Eric's insane 150 point TAG list. Against Pete I pulled out a win, largely due to a rampaging chasseur who made way too many armor saves and took out some models in his deployment zone. Eric completely stomped me with a TAG that could do no wrong. I finally managed to pin him down in close combat, but then even my MA2 Spetsnaz fell to a heavy punch in the head. I had no models left by his third turn.This was the list, it will be changed up for next week's game so we can try some new things.

rudra34 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I may not be purchasing any new models for a few weeks. Kyndra starts her new job and I'm gonna hang on to my cash in case her paychecks don't overlap well. The last thing we need is to be late on our rent!That being said, I am itching for the new Vet Kazaks to come out. The dossier looks amazing and they could really use a model in the updated scale. Also, if I find the USAriadna bundle on sale again I may become weak and order it due to a lack of will power.The painting will begin either this week or next week, but first I have to clean out my hobby space. We've been cleaning the house, and that room has become a safe-haven for all of the crap we haven't wanted to deal with. It will only take a day to get everything in there straightened out, and hopefully a lot of things given to goodwill or thrown in the garbage. For paint schemes I'm having a few thoughts. The classic Ariadna green with jungle camo, or khaki and brown desert camo to match my terrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Testing a couple of models today with some different paint ideas, hopefully it will help to settle on what to do with the lot of them. Thankfully the rain hasn't started so I was able to spray outside, but the wind is making it a pain in the back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the games where they did close to nothing they are scary, mysterious camo markers standing in my deployment zone looking out over the board. The Auto-cannon only fired twice tonight, but he knocked out a grunt and turned the Unknown ranger into a pile of dust. The AP HMG is mean as hell, and can take on just about anything with surprise shot, camo and cover. Thanks a bunch to everyone for the games! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1 | 14) GRUNT Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) 4 SWC | 199 Points Open in Infinity Army Since I'm pretty limited on MSV, Uxia brings a chance to have better luck with discovering mines to shoot or deactivate. The two dozers are not only decent cheerleaders and edge-watchers for their price, but also bring deactivate for an easy way to remove mines. Shooting them is fine, but I've seen mines make more armor saves than I care to admit. Everyone else is there to keep the board safe and deal with threats, and the LGL lieutenant can take a free pot-shot every turn with the lieutenant order. Just need to hide them somewhere safe!

rudra34 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Getting some models priming in small batches while I clean the house today. If I have extra time I'll see about getting some brushwork done, but am not expecting it. In lieu of waiting for the new Vet. Kazak models, anywhere from a few months to a year off, I found a suitable substitute that well represents the beefiness and overall badass feel of the unit. The winner ended up being the new Djanbazans from Haqq. The doctor model with pistol and the marksman rifle are both outstanding, and will work for a number of different builds for the Vet. That being said, I don't really know if I have any use for the hacker and HMG models. If anyone is interested in them to bulk up your Haqq or QK, just let me know.

Vet K's and Chassuers are formidable, too. I would have to lose to it a few times, before I can comment properly. Cheers, for making a Limited Insertion List with the faction. Maybe I should give it a go with Haqq. And yes, I wish you painting luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sex Pun Format is pretty doable for everyone assuming you stick to 300 as the cap. Looks like a pretty cool list, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
