Miners

I have finish painting 13 Miners in a table top standard and it feels grate! to be done with them! But I will come back later and try with the LoS effect on there helm since there is a candle on there helm. But for the 1500pts tournament I will need to have 25 table top painted miners and I need to finish the last bits on my 16 new warriors that I started on in December.

I have also started painting another one of the pony with a cart. That I will try to finish it before the 7 January in order to use it on the tournament on the 8th. So I wont need to rush 9 other miners that from another company that I am trying to figure out where I want what colours and such on.

A good news is that I have fully assembled the Syl-Iriah and I am planing on priming it tomorrow, now its time to figure out how I want to paint it. But I am looking forward to painting here.


Today for the first time I have done a base of Green stuff and it went really well. The base is for my High king Thorgrim Grudgebearer!

I will post some pictures later so you can see what's I have done.

Think that's all for now

Building syl-Iriah, Spirit of the Woods

The several last day I have felt a urge to build together syl-Iriah so last night I started putting here together, Bending here wings and I am happy with the results and I used some liquid green stuff to remove the gaps where the wings and the body don't match 100%. I will post a picture of here as soon as I have taken one of here.

But I have been puting together my 12 Dryads and they are almost finished just 1 more thing to glue on them, then I can spray them and start paitning.
With my new block of warriors I currently paiting them. Today I started doing the detaild work on some of the beards, not really sure if I am fine with what I have done so far but its really the first or second time I have tryed to paint some detailed beards. But you cant get good with out any practise.

treekin

I have finished the 3 tree man from Ragingheros last Friday, just need to finish painting there bases. with the other 2 I have just done a layer of red and a dark brown, haven't gotten any father then that.

I bought a Dwarf Lord from avatars of war with a handgun that I am near finish with, just got some miner problems deciding what colors to use on some of the last details. I also started with the other one I bought from there by getting a really nice blue color cape. I am trying to figure out what color schema I will use.

I have also sorting though my pile of bits and organize them in net plastic bags, and I have started removing   dryads and wood elf from there spurs and placing them in these bags so I wont need to deal with the large box with all the wood elves in them.

update

I atended the tournament last week and I ended up at place 69 of 74. I am glad that I am not last since I am so new to the game and building a army that can face the most opponents and even controlling my units correctly and anticipate what the facing player will do here next.

Under the tournament there is always a discount at out local shoop. So I went there to buys some things and I came home with 2 books from the Black library publishing. the models I bought was a core unit of 16 warriors, 9 Miners from the company GameZone they look so different from GW and they are just so cool that I felt that I just must get some, The high dwarf king that is carried on to battle on his golden throne. I found another company that produces miniatures and they are the "Raging Heros" from them I bought 3 Ents or Treekin that they are know as. and a elf with some wings thats resembles a butterfly, and some new brushes.

Right now I am trying to finish 5 Ents or Treekin before this Saturday because I want to use them in our local Bring in Battle, just to STOMP my enemies to death =)

low publishing

Sorry for the low publishing, but have been taking it easy. Got my 25 hammers on the 30 august, so have been file and spraying them and just starting painting them but sadly I got ill last wednesday and still are, so the painting is to a hold.
But I am glad to say that I have done around 90% of the base of Anvil of Doom.  As well done the base layer on the organ gun.

Dwarf VS Empire battle

Today I did a battle again Rickard he played Empire!
At first sight I believed it could be a even battle but that soon turn out not to be so.
Right at the first turn he managed to blow up my gyrocopter, heavily reduced my Longbeards. he destroyed my Organgun aswell so right at the beginning,and in the following turn my grudethrower blow up. with out even doing any damage at Rickards Empire. Right here the Turn shifted to Rickards advance, and it held Through the entire game. At the end Rickard totally wiped out my units.
My cannon did more or less nothing under the entire fight.

What I did wrong was to spread out my entire amy way to much by doing so I had 30 warriors with GW out of the "game" all the 6 turns. At the end I did maniged to even up the score just a litel bit, by killing 2-3 units of calvary.

King Kazador of Karak Azul

Here comes the King Kazador of Karak Azul, I painted this one at out local gaming store before a game with Mr.M I am pleased with the finished product. Sadly I didn't get the best focus on the pictures, but I hope it will do. What I am thinking about doing is trying to do a banner with green stuff that I can put Kazador and Josef if I want to play them as a BSB just for the shows sake.


Josef Bugman

I completed him about 8-9 years ago with my skill lvl back then, but when I started with Warhammer again this year I felt that I could improve him just a bit, so here is the finished product so to speak. I hope that you will enjoy it.

Old Grudgethrower

I completed this one about a month ago and here is the finished results, with the crew man to this machine is not 100% done just some things on them that I need to tidy up, will do that later.

Anvil of Doom

I started polishing the bits of the excess metal pieces and I black sprayed the ground plate and the anvil so I can start doing some painting done before this week is over.

As a side note I played a Warhammer game with my family and trying to show the basic of the game. And it went quite well, even at the end I totally slaughtered a unit of Dwarf warriors with GW with my Wardancers, but I had reduced the unit before my massive rounds of shooting

As promised

as I promised last night here are the photos of the Ironbreakers and the Old Gyrocopter =)
I sincerely do hope that you will enjoy it.










Do know that it ain´t the best sharpness of the picture but it was the best I could do

Ironbreakers

I finished painted them some time ago, and I was pleased with the "final"product so to speak, but I never got around to basing them until today. I followed the black rock with some white color to symbolize the "frost". Even if I am not 100% sure if I will add some small dots of yellow grass as well but that will time show.
I will upload some picture´s of Ironbreakers "tomorrow/Later today" and I will also show the finished Gyrocopter on its base=)

Base for the Gyrocopter

Yesterday I finally started basing my Old Gyrocopters base. It´s as well the first time really doing painting the rock and sand

Just some ordinary black color on it


Just some white dry brush on the black 
 Just posting the base from different angles. I am trying to create a rocket landscape with some frost on it since dwarfs lives in the mountains and I find it suiting. To show that they are from a cold and harsh landscape.

Battle Report

Today I did my second battle against Mr.M´s ogres at out local GW store call Fantasia.
Todays battle where with 2500 Points, and it became a interesting match at the end!
I dont have any picture from the battle since its my first battle reports and I am thriving to make these battle reports more detailed as I progress.

Ogres Turn 1.
The Ogres started the first turn and they all moved forward, could´t shoot at anything and did no spells.

Dwarf turn 1.
I moved forward with my 30 Warriors with GW and my 30 Longbeards (GW) as well with my 23 Ironbreakers. I got of 4 shots with my organ gun and 4 kills, did shot with my Grudge thrower (1) and a few kills and then I targeted with my second grudge thrower and was hoping for some massive damage since I had 2xRoPennetration that gives it +2stre but what happens? a MISFIRE and I rolled a 1, so kablam its destroyed! Lost 135 points in just my first shooting phase. Cant say I where to happy about that, but thankfully I had a cannon as well that I managed to wound some of the ogre in Mr.M´s army. I as well had 2 units of 10x Quarrellers with GW with one of them I managed to do 2 wounds on his Giant =) and from my other unit I 1 or 2 wounds on his unit of Ogre Bulls

Ogre turn 2
he charged his Giant in my Warriors and I chose to flee and got away.
In the Center left side he moved forward with 4x Leadbelchers and stumbled upon a normal forest so he became confided thats why he moved forward with his unit of 40x gnoblars to the right of the Leadbelchers in the center of the battlefield while doing so he moved in to a forest and it turnd out to be a Wildforest and it killed 7 of 14 total that where in the forest.

Dwarf Turn 2
I rallied with my warriors. and with the gnoblars partly in the forest I chose to change with my big unit of longbeards I knew I would win the fight easy and hopefully get them to run and cut them down, with a little help from the forest. My 2 charge was towards a unit of Ogre Bulls, and I made contact thankfully since dwarf always do have problem with reaching other unit with charge. I knew that I had a 3+ armor save and a 6 ward save I felt confident that I would win the fights in the long run.
My Organ missfire but its safe rolled a 5a so I can´t shot this turn. I get of my shots with cannon but just misses his unit, but got a hit with my grudge throwers, and did 1-3 wounds with my crossbows.

I will post the rest of the battle tomorrow but right now I am just to tired to finish this.
