Arcanacon 2012 – Day Two

Chaos Obliterators

Day two dawned. That’s the best I can do. After a LONG and disturbingly hot day locked in the gyms (blessings of Nurgle abounded!) playing toy soldiers, I was only mildly excited to be going back for more. Continue reading »

Arcanacon 2012 Live – Round Three

Round Three and the CBFs cut in big time. The gym is hot and still. My opponent was a Necron player; I’m yet to face the new Necron codex, so was nervous. Joleen, my opponent, was very much the same as me gamewise. Walked away holding one objective and contesting the other; so a win for me. At the end of day one, two losses and a win. This was about what I expected, 5 + 7 + 18 points.

Arcanacon 2012 Live – Round One

Fond One was against Kane Tucker’s Orks. Six Killer Kans, two Dreadnoughts, Ghaz and Snikrot. I was tabled in the sixth turn. Typhus badly under performed!

Regular readers will remember me saying stupid things in the past that have come back to bite me in the behind. Specifically, this, where with about three months I said that I could get a Dark Eldar army up and running for Arcanacon this year. Continue reading »

Many years ago a fresh faced young man wandered into his FLGS (Mind Games, Frankston) and picked up a copy of the Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader rules.

Dark Eldar Grotesques

Work continues, slowly as ever, on my Dark Eldar army for Arcanacon next January.
I am still keen on the idea of mutants and horrors lead by Urien and his troupe of miscreants.
The Grotesques released by Games Workshop are pretty awesome and lend themselves easily to some amazing conversions. Continue reading »

Wood Elf Spellsinger

Rather than gluing and greenstuffing I have finally picked up a paintbrush and applied paint to miniature. My chosen target, the Wood Elf Spellsinger I have been working on. Continue reading »
