McNathanson Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks RD! I too wonder about scenarios… is there a published list of the OFCC 2014 scenarios somewhere? I only saw the "Open" rules pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNathanson Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I made a few movement trays last night and rebased my assassin, shades unit, and sorceress on foot. Boooooring! :)I still can't get the khaki color mixes exactly right, so I'm just gonna have to give up and deal with a not-perfect match from unit to unit. Eh, probably won't be noticeable. I hope!

Your mother also sent me a quick note saying how disappointed she was in you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 In that case I better get back to mixing colors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Put in quite a bit of time this weekend and all I have to show is 8 new movement trays and 5 assembled and primed Dark Riders (all magnetized, painted, based edges, etc., but still… boring!) I'm going to try airbrushing the khaki base color on the Dark Riders. We'll see how that goes over black primer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Boy has my progress stalled! I am half way through painting a new unit of Dark Riders and really not liking how they are turning out. I need to change their color scheme up. In the meantime I dropped my "Sand Wyrm" (dragon/manticore) model and broke it in several pieces… it was bound to happen as it was top heavy and has just a 50mm x 50mm base. I'm re-assembling it and have to touch up the paint, but I'm also going to mount it in a permanent "movement tray" that will make it more stable. It's going to stick out in the back but models couldn't go there anyway because of the tail of my model, so hopefully this will be acceptable to people. It's no different than any other unit in a movement tray, you can still see where the actual model's base is and use that for templates, charge range etc.. I'll post pics when I've got him all fixed. The rider was destroyed almost beyond repair so I'm going to have to convert a new one. Most of his paint was damaged and his face would have to be resculpted. VonRuger, I think he finally got his come-uppance ;) At this point I'm just hoping I can get him ready for the Rampage! And I still have a BSB and 5 Dark Riders to finish. Yikes! Better get back to the workbench as soon as I can… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlordGhrom Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 How many standards do you have in the army for the blood and glory scenario? A little worried on how fragile you could be in getting wiped early in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Here's the 2000 point build I took to the Rampage: General Aculeus - Dreadlord on Cold One Commander Keels - BSB on Cold One L2 Sorceress on Dark Steed L2 Sorceress on foot 10 Darkshards with SB, Mus 10 Darkshards with SB, Mus 10 Corsairs 5 Dark Riders with Mus 15 Black Guard with FC 8 Cold One Knights with FC War Hydra with Fiery Breath It was a fine list for a fairly friendly tournament environment. The Corsairs and Darkshards were mostly useless, and the Black Guard were purely a speed bump. But the Cold One Knights were fantastic and had some seriously hot dice all day, and the Hydra won me a key combat by dealing something like 8 breath weapon wounds on 11 hits!Fun army and I would play it again, but I needed that Dark Peg war machine hunter withe Cloak (which I'm still converting so didn't have) because I was totally at the mercy of war machines with big blocks of infantry in front of them.

McNathanson Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well with summer coming to a close, and all the music festivals and travel behind me, I'm finally able to sit down and work on my army in preparation for the OFCC which is just a week away. Sheesh, too much fun stuff to do in the summer time!!Today I assembled, based, magnetized, primered and am about 1/3 of the way through base-coating my unit of 5 Warlocks. I've still got to finish base coating a unit of 5 Dark Riders, and then finish paint them, and the 5 Warlocks. And, I have a Master on Dark Peg to build from scratch, but I have the bits all in hand. Tomorrow is going to be tough to sit inside and paint but if I can find a few hours on Sat and a few hours on Sunday I should be able to get the units into reasonable shape. Tomorrow's goal: finish paint a single Dark Rider so I know what I'm base coating is going to work out. Stretch goal: also paint a single Warlock!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Let me know if you'd like some company. I got painting to do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sounds like fun but the logistics wouldn't work, I'm always working in fits and starts in between things I have to do, 15 mins here and 20 mins there. Thanks tho and good luck to you, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Got my Dark Riders and Warlocks looking reasonable though nowhere near finish painted. Now I gotta build and paint a Master on Dark Peg and I'm at least "legal", then we'll see what I can do to pretty up the new units a little. Time! Time! I need more time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Finished the Dark Pegasus and rider conversion... letting the glue dry before I hit it with some primer, then I can hopefully get it painted tonight after work!Here are some photos of the conversion (click for full size gallery image and a description of the bits used in each step): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Painted the base and wings on the Dark Pegasus and some basecoating on the rider. Starting to take shape but going way too slowly! But I'm having fun so whatever :)Hope I can finish before Saturday for the OFCC, cuz he's gonna look cool when he's done!Wings painted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
