Markerlight drone and Token, Stealthsuit, and Piranha

Today was a busy day of painting.

I've finished painting the markerlight drone and markerlight token that come with the Stealthsuit unit.




Also did another stealthsuit.


Also, I bought and assembled a piranha.  Since I have the choice of fusion blaster and burst cannon, I've decided to magnetize it.  Was a VERY simple thing to do.

Stealth Suit Test Model

Test Model for the Stealth Suits is mostly done... I need to smooth out some of the white paint, but I like the way it turned out. I love the white on black look its just such a pain to paint.  Prob took me 3 1/2 - 4 hours to paint which for me is WAY to long on a single model of that size.

The fusion blaster and burst cannon are magnetized for easy changing.




Finished basing the Kroot unit as well.

Painted Kroot

I still need to do the bases for the Kroot, but I finished painting them tonight.  I think they turned out pretty well, hopefully once fully based they look even better.

Ogre Army vs Empire Knight Unit... I mean army.

For those of you who missed the Game Day this weekend, you missed out on one of the most interesting and hilarious to watch fights.  I fielded my 2000 point Ogre Army, and I play against what can only be described as a literal horde of empire knights and 2 cannons.

Spoilers:  I was TABLED.  Took 6 turns, but I was sliced down to the man.. errr ogre.  How can this be you might ask.  Lore of Life's 4+ ward save.

I could say that the dice hated me because i did have some pretty shitty rolls, but mostly it was the ward save.  Also props to my opponent.  You kicked my ass sir.

The gorger again proves himself worthless as he continues his streak of doing 0 damage to anything.  A cannonball and a grapeshot made sure he didn't even make it to combat... although that was 2 less cannonballs going into my other units so thats gotta stand for something.

MVP of the match for my side has got to be the Tyrant, who took out the Templar Grand Master in a single round of combat.  Did 4 wounds, each wound causing D3.

The maneater did pretty good as well, I definetly think I need to expand that unit.

So what lesson did we learn today kids... beware knights with the lore of life.

Even though I lost it was still amazingly fun.
