Arrived!

Kategori: Allmänt

So we arrived at the Airport. Jarek and Michael were nice and picked us up! Isnt this the best company ever?

Thank you very much for that!

So we had a great time in the ride to Telford, 40 minutes of talking WZR and old memories, what we hope to see in WZR and AVP, how much they have to pack, how far they have come in such little time etc etc. Yea it was fun!

Now Im in the room getting ready for sleep. Need to get some rest before the game at Questing Knight tomorrow! So me and Henrik had some power meals to get in fighting shape!

Fish and chips! Wasnt so bad, actually really tasty. :)

Oh and a last thing I saw outside they hotel we're staying at.


Holy sh*t thats expensive!!!

So I've packed my backpack and I just got too the airport! Can't wait, soon I'll meet you guys! ;) If any other Sweds happen to be here or on their way you can find me at the Victoria's secret shop! Haha!



Im waiting for Henrik right now, apparently he's an hour away and he painted til morning last night! Maybe we can get a sneakpeak later! ;)

And to my wife and kids. I love you < 3 ;) I miss you so much already!

Now I got a text from SAS and the flight will be delayed for 10 min. Just so you know Jarek! ;)

Henry Thomas Video

Kategori: Allmänt

OffTheSprue put upp a 360 video of his painted Henry Thomas model ;) Looks really nice, modern and gritty, the couloring feels real and were hoping to see his Airbourne unit today as well! 
 
 
 

Web Exclusive model!

Kategori: Allmänt

Prodos stated earlier today that a Web Exclusive model for Cybertronic will be available very soon!
 
Any thoughts about what Model it will be? Im hoping for either Vince Diamond or Beach
 
Whats your guess?

New Necromutant look!

Kategori: Allmänt

So a guy published this pic to his wall on Facebook and its the new more awesome look of the Necromutant squad. 
 
These guys look much cooler and more detailed than the ones we had seen before.
 
I dont know but the two in the middle looks Bigger and Bossier than the other five, so my guess is that they are the Necromutant leaders "upgrade" for your Undead Legionnaires. Thankfully they atleast kept a mohawk head for the Necromutans. Their armour looks really crude and vicious, really nice details!
 
This is actually my new favourite DL unit! Might have to buy one and paint in Muawijhe colours, for future use in my Master of Madness army :D

Backpacker

Kategori: Allmänt

I really hate to paint backpacks.

When you think the entire model is done and its time for basing you (atleast I) always realise they backpacks laying in a corner barely basecoated.

The last backpacks I will paint for my IW before the WZR models arrive and will be prio 1!

The Chosen IW backpacks


The amount of detail on these backpacks is really nice just like the entire models! Overall they are my favourite GW models by far.

Hopefully they will be ready today.

Tournament List

Kategori: Allmänt

If I were to play in the Convention Tournament The Seal Of  Repulsion (Which I sadly won´t) this is the list I would play, hope it would stand up for the competition. Here it comes!
 
Warlord
 
Mitch Hunter,  7th "Phantom Brigade" Spec-Ops Battalion ( -2 RS to Enemy models targeting all friendly Capitol Troops and Support)
 
Troops

5 x Airbourne Cavalry with M50 Fragmention Ammo (Shotgun Template)
 
5 x Light Infantry
 
Support
 
5 x Martian Banshees
 
 
 
The list ended at exactly 500 points! Woho!
 
 
So here´s what I was thinking. Choosing Mitch as my warlord for both the Fragmention Ammo to the Airbournes to drop down where I want them to wreck havoc on the battlefield. And also to get the Phantom Brigade power, without any Medics in the squads and with so few units they need all the help they could get staying alive. The Infantry and Banshees get to keep the Standard Ammo to hopefully give Mitch some covering fire. 
 
So what do you guys think any tips?

I also added the Imperial Doomtrooper. . Yes just one.. Smart of me I know. So he will come with the Caps.

Since Im going to Telford for the Warzone Convent ( What you didnt know? ;) ) I think I'll buy some more to fill the ranks of the Caps, so now any suggestions? :)

Its ON!

Kategori: Allmänt

Yepp! Now its on for real! The ticket to Birmingham is payed for, so now its just have to turn into November! Never wished for winter this hard... I will fly to England 1st November and fly home the 4th November. Really looking forward to meeting all you guys! ;)

The Convent is on Sunday, the 3rd.. So whats happening on Saturday we will just have too see. Questing Knight Games will likely be my first stop, need to check out the store and say hi!

So I've seen that people have started to get their WZR stuff.. Jealous? Me? Please.. I would kill to get my stuff! ;) No but seeing people get their stuff, I mean Wow! The models are so great looking, very detailed.. Just hope I can do them justice when I paint them!


Behemoth

Kategori: Allmänt

So...This is how it looks painted.. I think need too bring one home from England.



Just, wow! Its really a beast in CC, killing off Nozaki and almost brought down 2 Mekas and "pastifying" Ronins and Chasseurs on the way there as Mark put it. The Mekas had taken 15 SP before they managed to bring him down! Sounds to me that its well worth its points!

Modern Masters!

Kategori: Allmänt

So today we drafted Modern Masters at my gaming club. After my first rare I knew what I was going to play.

I was going for Tokens, Saprolings and Worms!


I also had my fair share for Saproling creation creatures Yes there were more creation creatures not just 3.

So my plan for the deck were get out a shitload of tokens and pump them with


In the last booster I got my hands on

Which was doing good in the draft. .

I didnt win the draft, but hey I play for fun anyway :)

Friday Night

Kategori: Allmänt

Yepp its friday night and Im at my friends house, drinking beer and convincing him to start playing Warzone. He wasnt hard to convince!


A British beer, a tribute to my British friends.. Yes it was delicious!

More Iron Warriors

Kategori: Allmänt

So Im repainting my old Iron Warriors that I painted when first started collecting them roughly six years ago. Back then I was lazy, just basecoating them black and drybrushed silver and gold on them.

But when I got the Dark Vengeance box I couldnt paint like that anymore.. I want to be a better painter, not just taking shortcuts making the models look "meh" to be able to play with them painted.

So I got some tips from two of my friends who are really good painters and now I will never go back to just drybrushing. This looks so much better, and dont take so long to paint after all.

Chosen WIP. The plastic is easier to paint than the old metal models.

Warsmith WIP. Being repainted, the silver and gold areas have gained some repainting. The silver will get a black ink wash and another silver layer.

Exalted Champion WIP. Same as the Warsmith, just wanted to show off some more minis :)

Warzone Convention Site

Kategori: Allmänt

Heres the link to the Warzone Convention page. 
 
You will find info about the date, entrance fee, where its going to be, where you can spend the night and more!
 
So if you´re going check it out!
 
 

New look!

Kategori: Allmänt

So now I got a new look for the blog. Hope you like it! I think its far better than the original design and I really like the logo my brother-in-law made for me!
 
The colouring is a.. "tribute" to my favourite apostel Muawijhe Bringer of Nightmares.
Cant wait for the hordes of insanity to enter WZR.
 
 
Really hoping they will be appering with Imperial in the second wave but my guess is that the next DL army will be Ilian, since from what I understand they were one of the most collected DL armies because of their Templars. But Im okey with that since Imperial is my favourite faction, close behind of Muawijhe.

Memoirs of Albert Perkins Part.1 of First Game Session

Kategori: Allmänt

Heres the first part of the first game session of two game sessions we have had of my friends Kult-RPG campaign.
 
I play 31 year old Albert Perkins, former police and now a private investigator.
 
Its was a early autumn day.The bells where ringing at the church tower, my friend Mike Arbows brother were put to rest. I was not a close friend of the family, I just met them occasionally when there where birthdays or when they were visiting Mike. 
 
Mike had no contact with his brother until recently when his brother came clean from drugs, got married, got a well paid job in finance. It was strange but I was glad for him, not everyone get a second chance like that!
But then Mike got the news, his brother had been murdered. They never found the body but the amount of blood at the crimescene.. well no one could have lost so much blood and lived. 
 
After the funeral I walked out of the church with Mike and Shaun (A football hooligan with drinking problems who lives at my place), we were confronted by Benjamin Arbows widow Alex. She told us that she didnt believe Benjamin was dead, that someone had taken him or something! But she knew he wasnt dead that was for sure. Ofcourse Mike would like to know what happened to his brother, I thought this whole case was stinking.. something was not rigth his disappearance. So I gave her my card and said that I would look into this and if she wanted something or could tell me something about the case, she shouldnt hesitate to call me! She told us that he had been in their cabin in the countryside the night when he disappeared.
Then she left and we saw some men in a car watching us, we started walking towards them and our car when one of the men gets out of the car and stopped us. He presents himself as inspector Nolan, and asks us what we know about Benjamin and if we heard anything from him before he died. We told him that we know nothing and this came as a chock to all of us, that he "dead", we also asked him if it were okey if we could go to the cabin and check it out. He told us the their investingation was finished and we could go if we wanted to, but it was no pretty sight we would find. 
We left and went to a local bar outside Mikes apartment, we took a couple of beers and a whiskey in Benjamins memory..  No too strengthen our nerves for what we would find in the cabin tomorrow. 
 
The day after the funeral we went to Alexs and Benjamins apartment in the more luxurious parts of Manchester, the lobby was locked and a intercom lead to the porter. Mick explained who he was and that he wanted so see Alex and the porter unlocked the door. The lobby was richly decorated and had bright and clean surfaces. The elevators was right in besides the porters booth, we went in the elevator and went up to the 7th floor. 
We found Alexs door, all doors in the building seemed to have really heavy and tough door. She let us and and asked if we wanted something to drink, I told her to sit down and that I would put on some tea. The apartment was really fancy, design furniture and top notch kitchenware and would have looked liked a magazine home if not for all the dirty dishes and clothes and overfull garbage bags. She sat down in the sofa with Mick and Shaun sat in a armchair when I came in with the tea. They talked about Benjamin and that he went alone to the cabin that night, they usually went together but sometimes he would go alone. We sat down and talked for a bit abut her and Benjamin. Apparantly they met at a at a mental hospital and rehab for their drug usage. He got a penpal when he was in the rehab and after that he got the penpal he got better really quick. In a couple of weeks we was clean and he came out and took Alex with him, got a good job and everything was perfect. We asked if we could see the letters. She showed us were they were in Benjamins workroom, then she left and sat down in the sofa again. The letters were to and from a Mr. Nigel White. Then we checked Benjamins adressbok for a number of adress or a number to this Mr.White, but all we found was N.W - S.G.
We asked Alex if she knew what S.G meant and she thought it was the new club called StarGazer, a place where theres always full and hard to get into... if you dont have the right connections. And then she gave us the key to the cabin and she said she had to rest a bit, we thanked her and left. 
 
It was a 3 hour drive out to the cabin, it was a lonesome road with cabins on both sides with a couple of hundreds of meters in between them. Benjamin and Alex cabin was the last on the road, it was really quiet out there. The groundfloor was made out of stone and the second floor was made of wood, all of the curtains covered the windows. Mike wanted to be first man in so he went inside at once. 
 
He almost turned directly after he opened the door, and i understand why. The ground floor was one open room with a sofa and two armchairs and table to the right, there the stairs to the second floor also was. Too the left of the room were a desk and a couple of bookshelves full of books. in the middle och the room right opposite of the front door was a fireplace. In the middle of the floor a huge stain of dried in blood, the wooden floor had soaked in the blood and now it had taken a deep red colour. What was more disturbing was that the roof also had a huge stain on it... What the hell happened here?
