We're nearing the end of October, so I wanted to sneak in a force update post for the month. The escalation league itself is dead, as they are wont to do, but I'm pushing ahead on my goal. Still not sure if I'll push for 3000 points for the Narrative track, or 2000 for the GT for 2013 WGC. The GT is obviously easier, but I do always have a lot of fun at the Narrative, and get to hang out with the same group of cool people the whole weekend.
My goals for October didn't quite pan out; I had planned to add a 500 point section to my force, but barring a last minute push to finish my bastion, I'm going to be adding a total of 345 points. I had to go back and retrofit some models, adding a lascannon to my older dreadnought, as well as doing a bit of work to bring his look into line with the rest of my force. I also spent some time turning my Wolf Lord's wolf claw into a power fist, something that I've been needing to do since 6th edition came out.
For actual units, I was at least able to get the four Long Fangs from my current series of tutorials painted up, so there's that.
I'm still happy with my progress; I've got a 1250 point tournament coming up on Nov. 4, and for the first time since I started playing 40k in the mid 90's, I'll actually be playing with a fully painted (by me) army. It's small (at 19 models), but potent. If I am able to crank out another dreadnought lascannon arm and paint my bastion, I'll be shifting Bjorn down to a regular dread, and picking up the bastion for the tournament.
Well, that's it for me! November should be a good month here at the blog; I'll be finishing up the Long Fang tutorial, as well as showing the final results for my bastion and of course an army update toward the end of the month. Plus you'll start to see some WIPs from me on my projects for the 2013 painting competition scene. I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. For my part, I'll be binging on store-bought candy and watching old slasher flicks!

I see your long fang pack leader is sporting his facial hair for Movember too - nice touch ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't grow the facial hair so well, so I must live vicariously through my wolves. :)
DeleteThat dreadnaught is balls-out awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, this is great! Still curious how you paint details and your verdigris!
