My gaming blog about nerd stuff!

Gothcon

Kategori: Bauhaus

So it all started on Friday (Thursday was just dropping off a 50kg package, which my uncle carried by himself!!) 
 
 
Friday!
 
First to arrive of "Prodos Sweden" team, I was warmly welcomed by Rob, Elliot and Richard! The shop was already unpacked so we waited for our demo tables and our first customers, well after me.. I spent around 200£+ on minis before anyone else had a chance to see the stuff! Somethings was just to good to pass on!
Yea the Imperials, sold like nothing else! Wow those starter boxes were gone like the wind!
Rob was really looking forward to see what Sweden and Gothcon had to offer, since it according to him is like nothing in England. There people comes to the Prodos booth throws them money and says: "How much can I get for this!?"
 
Oh how lovely the Bauhausian Grizzly looks when its in pieces! ;)
 
So the shop was up and running with all four of us, selling and talking to excited fans of old and new. Lots of people who had no idea that Warzone finally was back! Lots of people were in our room all the time, people who had been visiting us before came back with their friends. It was really fun to see such love for the game!
 
Finally the saviour arrives, Andreas Erlandsson comes with our first demoboard and quickly builds it up and starts playing!
 
While they play we are busy in the shop (And taking photos, yes!) When another board comes in with Klas Whilney! He demands to face me in a demogame, sure why not!? ;)
 
Since we had no terrain over at the moment we had to have a large hill in the middle of the board to not get LoS at the beginning. He was playing Caps and I was playing Robs "Demohaus"
 
The  rest of the demo armies, Imperial, Bauhaus extra units and the Dark Legion.
 
After being defeated by my apprentice Klas (In the picture I have Steiner left.. but it was not for long!) He looked for a little more compition in his match and fought on the third demo table against its owner, Andreas Engström!
The brave! (Or foolish?) Trencher runs forth against Alakhai and cuts him with his bayonet!
 
Rob is looking... good... as always! ;) Moving on! Bring on the evening and a dinner at the Moon!
 
After our visit there, Elliot came up with the saying: You never go full moon!
 
Saturday!

Saturday morning the one and the only Fredrik "Hamilkar" showed up! Finally mate you made it! Thank the gods you got off work!
And then Henrik dropped in and "Prodos Sweden" were in the building! Really great to meet you guys again! Oh and Henrik, thanks for the book you left me! ;)
Prods crew for Gothcon 2014, with guests of honour Kex Chocklad and Plopp!
The whole day was packed with people, the demotables were almost never unused! Really great to see so many people enjoying the game!
 
 
My blogbrother Johan (Diceandbrush) made an apperance on the Con, he´s a really cool and funny guy.. And a much better painter than me! ;) Here we can see him preparing a battle against his reallife brother!
Johan´s two armies. So great looking, really jealous! Especially on the Alakhai, be sure to check him out!
 
Fredrik is looking for some new resin too buy, well he is in the right place! Put in the Caps section? (Thats his big spender face he´s making!)
 
Never catched his name, but he wanted his Hamilkar signed!
 
Sunday (Aprox. 01.00 People would still call it saturday)

 
The match is on, I know you guys have waited forever for it. But now I can finally give you the......
 
WORST WZR PLAYER IN THE WORLD MATCH!!!
 
 
Rob plays his Bauhaus and I try out the new Imperial who everybody says should be soooooo OP! Well lets go!
 
The greyhound was my last model, managed to kill Max and the Hussars but the Vulkan stomped me to bits, Vulkans win!!!
 
 
Rob, Richard and Elliot wanted a photo with the Worst WzR player in the world.. But since it was just the four of us it had to be two photos! 
 
 
Overall a really great and fun weekend! Thanks to everybody that came to us at gothcon, Prodos, Demogamers, Fans and thanks to Gothcon that let us be apart of this awesome Convention! See you guys next year and as a final picture this is what I brought home with me!

Troops - 5 x Light Infantry, Medic - 75pts
Troops - 5 x Airborne Cavalry, Medic - 110pts
Troops - 5 x Free Marines. M606 LMG - 105pts

Support - 5 x Venusian Rangers, 2 x ARG-17 RPG, Camo Cloaks 155pts
 
Light Vehicle - Vulkan Battlesuit - 115pts
 
Total: 723pts
 
Setup!
Mission was to get up on the rock in the middle and be alone with half of your remaining force on top of it until the end of a turn, from turn 4 and forward. Simple right? This was Karls first game and first time he played with a full painted force, great job!
Bauhaus went first and Deployed from the left: Vulkan, 10 man squad of Hussars and Angelika in the Forest.
Infiltrator Rangers popped up in the Woods and supported Angelika in the flank.
Leaving the 5 Mortants in reserve ready to Rapid deploy!
 
Caps Setup
From the left, 2 Purple Sharks, 5 man squad of Free Marines, Big Bob and a 5 man squad of Light Infantry.
Leaving the 5 Banshees and 5 Airborne Cavalry in reserve!
 
Turn 1
Hussars rushed forward as the Caps failed to seize the initiative! The Light Infantry dived for cover behind the bushes and started to give the Hussars a warm welcome!
All five of my "Finest" troops hides out in the bushes!
The Vulkan advances and tries to shoot out my Light Infantry BUT rolls a 20 and ending its activation! WOHO!
Free Marines hugs the rocks and lets one of them run out in LOS to be able to fire at the Rangers.
And I rolled a natural 1 first, I needed to roll against my RS to actually be able to use a shooting action, then I rolled another natural 1!!! HAHA Which means One Ranger bye bye, No armour roll, No heal! Sweet!
The Rangers responded with trying to take out the Free Marines with their Rocket Launchers resulting in..
Zero casualties! Haha, badass Marines! But the Panzerknacker took out the one hugging the other rock!
Finally Big Bob entered the firefight and used Aim his Tank-Eater Rounds to blast 1 SP in the Engine.
Angelika pushed on and through the forrest and deployed a..
House Valmonte Distortion Device!! (I know you guys could see that it was that!)
The Shark flew forward and shot of his Quad Cannon = RoF 6!!! Same here, needed to make a RS test to actually be able to shoot at them, and when I actually got to shoot him he had camo and help from cover so with  my remaining 6 RS (After all - for cover) I actually managed to shoot out one of the boys with Rocket Launcher.
(We forgot the "Get the Gun" rule here.)
This Shark also managed to take out one of the Rangers, while staying out of range from the "Distortion Device"
Now the heats started to rise, Gehenna Puker enters the battlefield! RoF 2 Flamer, Ouch!
Yea all 4 is under the template!
3 Dies, the forth is the one that the Rangers took out.
The Rulebook gave me a hardtime to!
The last remaining Free Marine seems abit outnumbered right?
Airborne to the rescue! After the HU-E Missle rain only 4 Hussars remained!
 
Turn 2
The Hussars makes a 180 turn and bursts lead and trimming the bushes and an Airborne!
Plus that Angelika burst through the woods and make san neurolash Energy Eruption and takes out 3 Airbornes!!!
Big Bob gets a wound from the Vulkan and returns the favour with another SP in the Engine and 1 SP in the Weaponsystem. The Infantry shoots the Vulkan with no result.
The Etoiles takes out one of the sharks. Then they run around the rock and ambushes Bob and gives him another wound! 
 
Casualties turn 2
Starting to look dark for the Capitols!
 
Turn 3
The Bauhausians win the Initiative AGAIN!!! Activates the Mortants first and runs forth with the Gehenna and burns Big Bob and a Light Infantrist to crisps!! :(
The other Mortant ends the life of my last Free Marine.
Try to save the Situation with a rapid deployment with the Banshees but they fail the LD test and scatter out of the board! 
The Rangers advances.
The Vulkan takes out the last remaining Light Infantry. 
 
Casualties turn 3
Now its almost over.. It looked so bright before!
 
Turn 4
 Rapid Deployment on the hill. Now its my Last Stand.
 
And this is how it ended. The Vulkan climbed the Hill and burned all but one Banshee.
 
Good game Karl! Really enjoyed playing, it felt like I had the game in my hands the first two turns but wow how wrong I was. I have said this before but loosing has never been so fun! I want a rematch soon! :D
 

The Blue Shark + AvP

Kategori: AVP

So the "Blue Shark" and Sanders the Banshee will soon be available on the Warzone shop!
 
 
And I know it´s "Old news" But here´s the latest Update on the AvP KS.
Progress, progress. Looks good. All seems good for the May release!

Free Marines Update + The end of AvP

Kategori: AVP

So here´s where I´m at with the Free Marines I did want to give them all the same skin tone since they are (Except for characters) the only minis with skin showing in the army.
 
One redish "sunkissed" skin, a darkbrown skin tone and a more yellowish to bring out more character to them and for me to test my skinpainting skills. Yes I agree not the best pictures, will try to get better later!
 
__________________________________________________________________________________________
 
And to the AvP KS which is now successfully funded, it ended at £379k and all the juicy stretch goals where met! And the 2000 backers goal was also unlocked. 
 
We unlocked the Predator ship set and the extra Pred tiles to the main game, as well as the W-Y Commandos, the free markers and doublesided board tiles.
 
And the 390k stretch goal Prodos were nice enough to give us anyway! Which was!............
 
 
 
An add-on for £5 if we break the £380k Goal. 4 Guns (flamer x2 and smartguns x2) with arms, 1 alternative Sergeant head and 2 different Predator heads.
 

Quick Update

Kategori: Capitol

So now Big Bob Watts is done! Finally, now all he needs is a base! Too bad my superglue disappeared at my gaming club. 
 
 
And now I took time reading the "gift" I got from Mark in Telford, The Chronicles The New Era #1
 
The thing I was most curious about was this, and I cant wait til it comes to WZR! (If it does)
 
The Rotary Shotgun, yea thats one hell off a shotgun! ;)
 
 

Fly on the wings of Freedom!

Kategori: Capitol

So here's the "Purple" Shark WiP! Red seats, to ride like a king! ;) Its not finished yet. Comments about improvements so far? So looking forward to the Sanders "Blue Shark" Character!

Mitch and a WIP Free Marine and the Light Infantry.
 
 
Airbourne Cavalry lead by Squad Commander Alex!
 
Martian Banshees

2 vs 2 at Questing Knight

Kategori: Capitol

 
 
So we arrived to Questing Knight for some demo games! Wasnt so small as I had imagine!

We thought we would face each other BUT! Questing Knight had other plans and pitted my Capitol and Henriks Mishima against Cybertronic and Dark Legion!
 
So right to the good stuff right? They won the deployment roll and gave it to us. So here´s my force without the Airbourne Rangers whos stil in the plane ( Rapid deployment).

So we dicided to hold one front each so i was pitted against the Legion and Mishima against Cybertronic. Henrik hid in the forest while I was more in the open for more flexibel movement!
 
So we did win the first Initiative roll and the Light Infantry was the first to get going.
My other unit to be activated was the Banshees i used the jumppacks to get ahead of the rest of the army to shot at some Undead legionaires!
I took out two of the Legionaires with two shots! Victory will be mine!!! ( Or so I thought...)
They UL  with their Necromutant commander were activated and after that( Henrik played between) there were his Razides and lets just say... This was what remained!
 
And in the meantime my Light Infatry see this coming in the streets!

A Scorpion! Truly a hideous sight! ( Unless hes on your side)
On the Dark Legion front Golgotha finally makes a move and are on her way!

With a steady shambling of Undead behind her!

They Cybers are taking their time and sending in its Scorpions first!
 
 

This is actually quite funny... This was the beginning of many good laughs today! The Ronin tried to hit the UL:s but Henrik is a MASTER! of rolling over 17... with like everything he did! Mishima Quality!
 
So my brave Infantry runs up the alley and now the Questing Knigths guys tells me I can shot grenades with my M50:s.. What?! Really! Lets do it then!

So we targeting the Undead Legionaires and kill 2 of them! Yay more Zombies destroyed!
 
 
So my Mitch was feeling alittle lonely on the left front with 2 Razides and Golgotha on her way, I dropped the Airbournes and unleashed a hail of missles at the Razides.. with little affect! 3 missed and only 1 wound!!!
 
So the next thing the DL player does is engage my poor old Airbournes! Picking of two right away!
 
Meanwhile Mitch hides out in the bushes and feels he´s beeing watched!
 
 

On the other front the Meka has taken a few hits but are still going strong and have taken out a Scorpion and are now looking to chop ut some circute sushi of the Chasseurs!
 
The other Scorpion gets to taste the Capitol Shotgun, and he doesnt like it!

And Mitch turns into a human hurricane and wipes out the Undead Legionares and Necromutant Leader, then he´s an easy target for the Razides who chopped up the poor Airbournes real good!

So now he´s down to his last wound! And are still in the open.. What are you doing Mitch!?
 
Then suddenly Golgotha uses her mirror and shows up and brings the pain with 6 attacks in the back of Mitch! (Ouch)

But it´s okey, she´s only ST 10. so no problems with saving that!
 
Back to the other front where Meka is chopping Chasseurs, no problems there!
 
Then back to Mitch again.... This could be alittle more troublesome!

I just say this. No he didnt make it! :(
 
So now I´m down to my last guy! One brave little Light Infantry!
So here he is! The Ronin squad makes a BANZAAAIIII!!!! And chops the Scorpion to bits!

Then they charged the Everassaur and gets down to only one after a Undead Legionare and Necromutant charge raising more Undead legionares.
 
My Light Infantry then panics and shoots a granade in the middle of it..... And to his great dissapointment only kills his Mishima friend! ;(
 
He then is charged by the Everassaur and are smashed to bloody paste...
 
GAME OVER!
 
Ha even though we lost this is one great game! Really fun and amazing rules, makes the battles feel more real and gives every model his own chance to shine! Im really impressed with the rules, minis and the joy of playing!
 
 
 
Thank you Questing Knight Games! This was really fun, both meeting you guys and play in your shop! Thanks for having us and will be seeing you guys tomorrow!
 
 

Almost out of time!

Kategori: Capitol

Feels like Im almost out of time, I fly to England on Friday and Im so nervous! In a good way ;) The Bases arrived today and with a special model as well. Didnt mean too order him.. yet. Wanted him as a Hero for my Muawijhe army. Scarecrow from Arkham City. I havnt opened the package yet since I just came home from the cinema. But hw looks like one fine mini! ;)And here's something requested by Mr.Sanders aka Blue Shark. He wanted to see a picture of the brown I painted on my minis and the guns. I forgot the wash on the metal but I'll fix it in the morning. I love the brown on the guns, giving them an AK look. Again here I wanted some contrast from the camo to make it more interesting to look at. I think it looks great! ;)

One use only!

Kategori: Capitol

So these bad boys are almost ready! Went for the old school green bazooka! I wanted some contrast on them, dont want them looking too realistic its MC after all ;) Now its just a drybrush on the black and painting the lenses, the guns and ammobags/grenades in the belt.... And ofcourse bases! Ha almost ready... :D

Feeling a bit grey...

Kategori: Capitol

So today its only one week left before I fly to England! Starting to feel lots of stress not being able to complete the WZR minis, I ordered bases for everyone just dont know when they will arrive. I also don´t know how to pack the minis for the flight... But hey it will work out! I´m really looking forward to this and to meet everyone in person!
And dont worry the minis will be ready for the convention!
 
I just feel grey today ;)

Mitch mark 2

Kategori: Capitol

So here he is in ALL his glory (shoulderpadiness!)

Cavalry Has Arrived

Kategori: Tabletop

So the Airbourne Cavalry parachuted down here yesterday! Looks great! They really are my favourite Capitol unit! (So far)
 
Now my force is ready to go fight at the convention, 500 points exactly! Rob better watch out ;)

Mitch Hunter

Kategori: Capitol

Last night I completed my first Capitol hero, so here comes some photos of my Mitch Hunter model! He turned out almost as I wanted him, the only thing I´m not too happy about is the hair. 
I really hate to paint skin and hair since I dont think it my strong side. But he looks good overall! What do you think?
 
 
 

Test Model

Kategori: Capitol

So here´s a test model with the Colourscheme. What do you think?
 
The gun, granades etc will also be painted! ;)

Close ups!

Kategori: Capitol

So I decided to take some Close ups before basecoating them, here are the best photos! Enjoy! Light Infantry Squad Leader! Martian Banshee Squad Leader! Free Marines LMG Specialist! Once you go black... Its time for the brushes!

Paint it Black!

Kategori: Capitol

Now its time for the army to be basecoated, I'm going for black since the armor will be black and could be a good base for the urbancamo too.

Here's a pic of the infantry glued together.

Now I'm just waiting for the airbourne pack to arrive then I'm all set! ;)

Colourscheme!

Kategori: Capitol

So yea I promised OffTheSprue to tell you guys (And him ofcource! ) about my Colourscheme! I been putting alot of thought about it and asking myself what Tactical Trainings I will use in my army.

Ranged Trainings



1 st "Bulls Eye" Battalion. I will try this, +2 in RS on all Troops and Support sounds very well.
But this training had little effect on my scheme, there are more interesting trainings ;)

21 st "Desert Fox" Battalion. This one I really like, all Troops and Support Squads gains the Camoflauge (2) rule!
So yea major spoiler now, they will have camouflage clothing. ;)

Close Combat Trainings

7th "Phantom Brigade" Battalion. Enemy models targeting friendly Troops and Support gains -2 RS. This will hopefully let my boys live a little longer! ;)
So what I took from this is Phantom and it turned into black armor!


Those are probably the Trainings I will try first, feels like "Safe" choices. And now to what you would like to know the colourscheme is.....

Urbancamo clothing with black armor and Im going for red lenses and glasses for the Infantry/Airbourne Cavalry.. I think it will look really great! ;)

Inside a shark!

Kategori: Capitol

So you guys wanted to see how the sharks look inside, well here it is! ;)



You might want to greenstuff the nose just a little bit so you wont end up with a little crack! Otherwise it looks great together!

Assembling a Team!

Kategori: Capitol

Third times the charm right? I've tried to write this two times today.. But here it is!

This weekend is full of activity! Today I'm (the whole family) moving to a new apartment! And on Sunday my little girl turns two years old!

Even with all the stress and panick packing I found time to glue together WZR Characters!

Mitch Hunter

He will be my Warlord in smaller games 500 - 600pts. In larger games he will be paired with either Bob or Drougan for a Doomtrooper pair.

Big Bob

This towering fellow will be my Warlord of choice since Im really a Ranged player. With him in charge Mitch and Drougan can pair up.

Drougan

Now this guy cannot be used as a Warlord in Capitol since he's Imperial so he have to rely to his good relations to my Mitch to be able to see some fighting ;)
