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***.

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.

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!!

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.

I need to pick up some dog warriors or antipodes so that I can add some spooOOOoooOOOoooky werewolves to the army.   Here is your ghost picture.

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.

Here's the takeaway...Tankhunters a flip-dipping amazing.   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!

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!

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.

Super excited to get rolling with the Vets when we get to higher points.  A lot of people worry that Ariadna will suffer with limited insertion, but this list would scare the crap out of me if I went up against it.

All but 2 of my models are primed as of today, so tomorrow I will figure out how I'm going to paint them.  They are more rugged and complex than my pano crew, so I don't want to jump in without a plan.   Wish me luck!

Frankly, 

 

I have not played against enough of the A-Team to know. Uxia is always brilliant. 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.
