I made some progress over the Christmas break since I didn't get out to play much. imgur.com/gallery/f65I1Tv?s=smsimgur.com/gallery/RF72ctF?s=smsI am now at where I wanted my army to be when I first started my little blog. I have a full 2k plus a bit extra for Warhammer 6th edition. Its not my best work but I am happy with the army. I still have a couple models that aren't painted that I will add like a daemon prince that's half painted and a herald on a disk as well. But after that I don't think I'll be adding more to the army any time soon. Too many projects on the table. So my final tally of my army is Lord of Change 50 pink horrors with 4 commands 6 changebringers 6 Screamers 1 Chariot of Tzeentch Well with the Fantasy event postponed, I can now go back to focus on other stuff like the painting contest with nexus as long as i get my model built and painted in time. So jury is still out on that haha.

It's awesome to see someone stick to a project and get it done.
Your painting on this is quite good and I think the whole thing is quite cohesive.
Congrats.

Well with the event finally back on at the end of April I got a bit more of my hobby mojo going again. I don't have any models on my painting table right now but I have gotten 2 games in!
Princerobinp and I have played 3 games, two at 750points and another at 1250. Getting ourselves familiar with the rules as its been a long time since my last game, probably back in 2016 or 2017. Ended up loosing all the games, I almost had the last game but lost as the game ended at turn 5 and I wasn't on the center objective. We will soon enough get a game in at 2000 and I might bring out the Lord of Change and try out an almost 700point model.
I also started writing scenarios for the event which has been pretty fun too. First missions is based on the old Patrol scenarios which have random secret objectives to do , while the second game will be based on Albion with random weather effects. Still trying to get something for the 3rd game of the event. The event will be all fun missions with no real bonus to winning games besides bragging rights similar to what we do here in Kingston. But I should take pictures of the games so I actually have some pretty pictures to look at.
If the event ends up going well, the next one will probably be themed to have some fun and wacky events if people enjoy them, but who knows haha.

Over the weekend, I managed to get a game of 6th ed in against Robin. 2000 points a side, Tzeentch Daemonic legion against the Empire. Managed to finally take some photos so I can post them up here as well as online. http://instagram.com/p/Cb7aPDkuxbT We played a simple Pitched battle which is an easy set up and as we are still relearning the rules. We used a few things that we haven't used in awhile like cannons which are a lot of fun in this edition. Guessing how far to shoot with no pre measuring makes for some interesting shots. As well we finally took out our Lord choices which are only used in 2000 points or more, so I had a Lord of Change and he brought out an Elector Count on Griffon, which is one of my favorite Empire models from back in the day. With the event in Ottawa only a couple weeks away, I don't know if I will get anymore games in, but I will posting loads of pictures of all the armies and games as well. Hope to get one more game in before the event. I did for painting wise, almost finish my daemon prince model. He's probably like 80% done. I also started working on my next fantasy army. KISLEV! With Total War Warhammer 3 out, Kislev is more popular then ever, so I started working on getting them finished. I have a bit over 1000 points in total. I started painting the ungol archers, I have all their skin painted and now working on their clothes. I doubt I'll have this army done by the end of the year, too many project on the go. Whoops

It was indeed a good game. It's good fun to break out some models I haven't played with before and try some crazy force ideas. Was nice to see the big bird on the table!

Well hosted the 6th Ed fantasy over the weekend and managed to get 13 preregistrations but only 8 people to come out and play which is fine as I prepared for 10 people. Was an absolute blast seeing all those sweet sweet square bases on the table and all different armies. We had 3 empire armies, 2 Orcs and Goblins, 1 Vampire counts, 1 High elves, and 1 Lizardmen. My daemons didn't get to play at the event but there is always next time. Watched some crazy games being played, where the weather in the Albion scenario messed with a lot of armies, either the rain causing war machines to have a harder time working or the Fog being so think units could barely see in front of them which prevented charges. Here a couple of the photos taking from the event. Next event will be in August at 1500 points. http://instagram.com/p/CcxeOMJuQvU

So since my Daemon project is complete I am on to the next army cause why not collect multiple armies for a dead game system. My Kislev army will be less points then my daemon force as the models are a bit trickier to come by on the second hand market. T Here is the first unit painted up, 10 ungol horse archers. This army will definitely make me better at painting horses. I think I've got about another 25 horses to go. Yay! http://instagram.com/p/Cc7yrp9OlOc I do plan to take a break from the horses and try painting a unit of Kossars up with using contrast and speed paints. See how they turn out.

Well I haven't added anything new on here in a while but I have been somewhat busy. I did get some work done on my unit of 20 kislev kossars. They are getting close to being finished, maybe another night or 2 of painting. I started work on some tomb kings/ empire of dust. Mainly haven't painted much fantasy in awhile as I jumped on the hype train for Horus Heresy and have been building and painting those guys. But I need to get back on track as I have an event Sunday in Toronto for Fantasy. Got 2 of the 3 missions written up and just have to finish the third. I did however get a game of fantasy in last night. 1250 of my Kislev vs 1250 of some Night Goblins. The game was very close with his giant being too scary for my Kislevs to charge so they stood there in terror while the giant took the opportunity to charge my gryphon legion causing them to suffer a few wounds but they held their ground while they waited for the kossars to charge into the giant's flank. Their great weapons chopped down the giant which caused the giant to fall on top the unit killing 8 of them and one of my boyars which hurt. http://instagram.com/p/Cf6u39VOZFH Was a great game with lots of running in fear from fanatics. Looking forward to getting more games in.

Well I managed to get a game of fantasy in with my Tzeentch daemons. 1500 points of daemons against Kevin's Goblin Horde. http://instagram.com/p/Cgeb5jMunaG Was a bloody match and no matter how many goblins I killed, it was not enough as they kept hold of the center objective keeping the game as a tie. The game was a blast to see all the fanatics flying around everywhere killing daemons and goblins. A couple of us are thinking of running a games day in the fall where people can come out and give fantasy a try and of course supplying armies for people to use. Try and get people out try the game and see if they enjoy it.

Well being away from any hobby always sucks, but when I got back from work, the first thing I did was get some hobby work done. Went and painted up Katarin the Kislev Ice Queen along with 20 Kislev Kossars. Happy with how they turned out, had to redo the ice queens face after a failed attempt at eye liner and eyebrows haha. http://instagram.com/p/Cou6efnuKMP I also managed to get a couple little warband games in a couple nights ago which was a blast to push small units on the table. Also if Jack Shrapnel sees this, can we move this thread into the fantasy section and out of the AoS one now that theres a section for it
