Cryx Continued

    So another day and the tournament is ever closer I've decided on two lists a Scaverous list and a Venethrax list.  This way when I show up if either caster is being played by another person I have an alternate list ready to go.  I have like fifty lists I want to run.  But only have so much time.

    So without further adieu here are some picture updates.

The Great Cryxian Basing

   Well it's been an interesting few days off.  Saturday was fun out with some friends for some 40k with my Tau.  They are currently underway but on hiatus.  The models I want are hard to come by and their play style leaves me wanting.  Most games I only move the Piranha and Crisis suits, everything else stays put.  

   Any-who we had a 2500 pt game two on one Tau and Imperial Guard vs. Demons.  After six rounds we ended in a draw. Another pet peeve of mine.  Why must there be a dice roll off why not just play until there is a victor or time has expired.  The idea of a random ending to a game is irritating.  

   So as far as painting goes I started working on my Dystopian Wars, Blazing Sun, fleet and the the undertaking of a moron.  Basing my Cryx.  Ok for those of you who don't know me Cryx was my first miniature game army and until Friday the only army I have that has no basing done...  So I have a tournament Thursday and now that I know the basing I want, I want to have the list completed and based by then.  This is a lot of models and the basing I chose isn't exactly easy.  Lots of layers and drying.  

   For the time being this puts my commission on the back burner.  Not completely I still work on it when the base is drying but my table is a bit full at the moment.  Also got two Eldar Guardian Jet-Bikes, mostly painted one based going for a bike list.

Retribution Begun

   Well now... After being so good updating about the Valkyrie, I've gotten lax.  That plus hurricane Irene knocked out cable making it quite difficult to update. So I've continued on with my commission, another sentinel, a heavy weapon team using a rocket launcher, a chimera, along with another Lemen Russ.  The sentinel and one of the Lemen's are very close to completion.  There are a few troopers I have yet to begin but they will be started shortly.

   On the warma/hordes front had a Great turn-out at Game Geeks last Thursday.  I had another great game using Scaverous remains unbeaten, at 5-0.  Sick sick caster still Telekinesis on a cryx caster is cruel.  That plus the withershaddow combine created a Slayer out of an enemy warjack.  Only the third time I've gotten that to work and the second time on a large jack.

   I took Retribution off the shelf, repaired, and began painting.  Here are some pictures of my new scheme.

   Lastly I've decided to begin an Eldar 40k army, I think that with the magic and different stacks sounds like my kind of faction.  Not just a stand and shoot, go in an smash, or just plain outnumber, I've had a hard time with 40k.  But I'm going to give it another shot.

Valkyrie Day 5

No time here are some pictures 99% complete minus missing canopy.  Also Scaverous remains unbeaten at 4-0 I'm telling you Telekinesis on a cryx caster is nasty. Lastly picked up blazing sun cruisers Antarctica didn't come in.

Valkyrie Day 3

Not a lot of time for an update as I spent a good amount of time painting this evening.  Went to the dentist found out I may need a root canal!  Not fun.  Anyway progress on the Valkyrie is going well Tuesday and I'm working on details. I think it's progressing well.
