STORMWALL!

It is done!

[Picture goes here to make this not such a tease]

Also, I finished the other half of the Rangers and started the Black 13th.  Hopefully finishing those three and eEiryss tonight after some GuildBall!

Progress:
Major Victoria Haley
Captain Allister Caine
Stormwall
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (3 models)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts) (Bow-Nyss got quivers, sword-Nyss did not get scabbards, eff those things)
Rangers (Leader and 5 Grunts) 
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution - assembled!
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller

Odds are good that I'll be changing lists in such a way as to not need 10 Nyss Hunters...I don't have the time to get them done.  I might be able to finish the rest between tonight and tomorrow.  Maybe.  Either way, I'm already stoked about getting so much done!

The Rest:

Pics of incomplete models]

I've got 21 left to paint, and I've already started 5 of them.  Everything is assembled and primed.  Unfortunately, I've got quite a full schedule for the weekend, which may derail my current momentum.  I'm going to try to minimize that, though!  We'll see how I come out!

Off to a good start!

[Pics of eCaine go here]

Completed Captain Caine last night, started work on Major Haley and a Stormsmith Stormcaller.  Also finished adding parts to the Squire-Raider (again, pics to come).  He'll be next on the painting block, as he goes in most, if not all, lists.

Remaining to be painted:

Major Victoria Haley
Captain Allister Caine
Stormwall
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (3 models)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts)
Rangers (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller

I'm also looking at my lists again, may have some tweaks to this within the next few days.  Maybe sneak a few already painted models into the lists, and a few unpainteds out...

The race is on!

Today is March 7th.  Crucible begins on March 17th.  My currently most pressing goal is to play two 50 point armies in the Crucible, fully painted.  I am currently 28 models away from that goal.  That's a lot.  Its crunch time.

To Be Painted:
Major Victoria Haley
Captain Allister Caine
Stormwall
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team (3 models)
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt
Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters (Cylena and 9 Grunts)
Rangers (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord
Eiryss, Angel of Retribution
Squire
Stormsmith Stormcaller

I've already started Captain Caine, but Eiryss isn't even assembled yet.  Some are primed, some are not.  Some need a few more pieces (Nyss may or may not get quivers and scabbards).

It'll be a struggle, but I'm going for it!  Stay tuned for details and pictures!

February update: TOMB3, White Stars, and Guild Ball!

Big update time, but not much to show for it!

TOMB3:
I left off in January with $2.25 remaining, and I get to add another $25 for February, to a total of $27.25  What am I going to purchase?  No idea.  I'll have to figure that out shortly, or just let it roll until March, when I'll have no time at all :)

I haven't made it out to play Malifaux in a few weeks, but I'm still working on painting.  Here's the current status:


Finished:Lucius:  Painted!Bloodwretch 1:  Painted!Bloodwretch 2:  Painted!Scion of Black Blood:  Painted!Lawyer 1: Painted!
Miss Ery - Painted!

Not Finished:Guild Guard 1:  Partially painted.Guild Guard 2:  Partially painted.Primordial Magic - Partially Painted
Illuminated One - Partially PaintedDepleted (slenderman) - Pre-assembly work doneDepleted (lady) - PrimedDepleted (squidly) - Primed

Not Likely To Be Used/Painted:
Lawyer 2:  Not planning to use, no intention to paint unless all other minis for the TOMB3 are done.
Dashel:  Not planning to use him at this time.
Scribe:  Not planning to use him at this time.

White Stars:
I think this may be the first time I mention these by name, but this is my Cygnar army.  Painted in drab green, with white star icons.  I've got a fair bit of it painted, but plenty of it is not.  I'm endeavoring to play fully painted at Crucible 2016, which is just over a month away.  To make matters worse, I haven't finalized any of my lists, so I don't know what exactly I have to paint.  I'm currently working on models that make the majority of my lists.  I'll probably post some pictures here sometime.

Most Recent Addition:  ACE!


Guild Ball:
My FLGS has recently started carrying Guild Ball, and several of us have bought in.  For those who don't know, its basically medieval soccer.  I purchased the Alchemists starter, along with a few other models.  So far, I have painted the ball.  Exciting!  More should be painted soon.  Pics to come.

So that's where my current projects are:  Unsure, moving target, and brand new.  Sound planning!

Boardgaming in 2016

Board games are a big hobby of mine;  a good challenge, social interaction, and generally a good time!

I've previously been introduced to a concept called the 10x10 challenge:  Play 10 games 10 times each in the coming year.  This year, I'll try it out and see how far I get.  I'll track it here, for funs.

Games I'd like to play 10 times this year:
Mysterium
Battlestar Galactica
Codenames
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game
One Night Ultimate Werewolf
Mission: Red Planet
Imperial Assault (one  complete campaign, rather than 10 times)

and 3 more to be named at a later date, when I can look at my shelf of games ;)

And as a bonus, I've already started!

Mysterium O O O
