    I really liked everything in yesterday’s preview. Cursed city looks like a potential purchase and project 😀
  2. Praecautus
    It’s 60 minis or so plus card stock etc. Thinking BSF was £95 Gw price I would think at least that but maybe more like £120 which puts it in the same bracket as eg Nemesis, Eclipse, Gloomhaven and Fosthaven

    Looking at the tiles they seem to be two sided (not unexpected), with one side being cobblestone in the look of streets and others looking like rooms. So maybe a combination of city exploring with buildings and maybe the option to make internal dungeons (or other interesting outdoor dungeons) You could combine this with other sets (hammerhal in particular) and make some quite interesting maps. 😀 One possible gripe with the set and There does seem to be a limited number of basic adversaries - skeletons, zombies, bats, rats, - with some bigger mobs thrown in so it could get repetitive if it’s a long grinding game. However, the diversity may not be an issue, games like Nemesis and Zombicide manage with a similar number of basic adversaries coupled with interesting ways for rules to interact keeping it fresh. Adversary cards expansion would also help a lot.

    I like the look of it. Minis are great, so looks a good project. Lot of stuff in the box too, I expect it would b e about £120 ish at retail

    Well done everyone. Great to see the projects coming together. I have been mainly painting aliens and various things. Some images below of the current state of play. All Xenonorphs from aliens painted and only a few intruders left for nemesis. I get to work on the humans characters for both games next, much more interesting.

    I’ve been finding it really hard to focus on working on my AoS armies. This has got to the point where I have painted 1 unit in the last 6 months for my Khorne army. However I have massively enjoyed taking on mini projects, usually around a board game. There are so many fantastic ones out there. I have recently been playing Nemesis, a semi co op alien style sci ri horror game with my son and autistic nephew, both 12. They have absolutely loved it, my nephew was leaping around the kitchen in excitement. When my nephew is round for games day, they spend the day playing computer games and planning their nemesis strategy. I am looking forward to new warhammer quest and I expect it will be in my collection. I do really like seeing the cool models for all the ranges come out. I know I won’t get to paint or use most of the releases, but I love seeing what GW come up with. The underworlds warbands look like a good way to work on some cool stuff with out getting sucked into another 2k army I can’t use. And, hey it’s getting lighter. The northern hemisphere is on thdownwave of seasonal viral infections, vaccines are being rolled out, new medicines are being developed. We have got over every pandemic before. That Khorne army may just get to reap some more skills yet

    Ok this could be ambitious, especially for the short month of the year. Khorne lord on daemonic mount All the intruders from Nemesis board game 16 aliens from Aliens board game I did start in Jan, so some work in progress shots
  8. Praecautus
    Struggling with motivation most likely due to lack of games. However have made some objective markers for Khorne and 1 for Nurgle.
  9. Praecautus
    Manticore sorc lord is coming on
  10. Praecautus
    Very nice. So bright and bold
  11. Praecautus
    Amazing. Had not thought of those. There are so many options especially from the 70s and 80s to draw on for inspiration
  12. Praecautus
    I have had a thought for some time about making a rock n roll thene Slaanesh army and This may be the time to do it. I wanted to make the keepers in the style of Rock/music icons eg ziggy stardust, Freddie Mercury, prince. The rest of the army would be groupies done in the style of other groups eg Kiss, ABBA, Kate bush and so on. Not only would it be fun but I get to quote Led Zeppelin- they’ll give you every inch of their love Whats not to like?

    I started 2020 discovering and introducing Zombicide invader to my local gaming club. During the first couple of months I Had several games with my Khorne army and started work in a slaves to Nurgle army and tried to finish off Rogue Trader. When lockdown started, like others, I lost a lot of motivation. I recall I was painting some gellerpox and just stopped. I put the models and paints on the cupboard and couldn’t bring myself to buy other slaves models. For several weeks I didn’t do very much in terms of GW hobby. I did however discover the world of board games - purchasing several of interest, including Talisman and some expansions, memoir 44, undaunted Normandy, eldorado, and the big three of Star Wars Rebellion, War of the Ring and Nemesis. I played a lot with my son and the simpler rule sets were much easier. I got my hobby mojo back and painted all 153 Star Wars minis, coinciding with Empire strikes back being on the big screen and the mandalorian starting. Our club reopened and I introduced Rebellion and some other games to the club prior to the second lockdown. The reopening drove my desire to build a new Khorne slaves army (Nurgle is on hiatus for now) which I have completed a squad of Khorne warriors, one of my favourite painted units at the moment and they came second on our local GW painting competition on Boxing Day. Sadly lockdown has hit again but I am still managing to paint through the Khorne list and also drove some virtual hobby groups to form. So my social nerd network has grown. I am now looking forward to the Slaanesh release as I have been planning a rock and roll themed Slaanesh army for some time. 2021 may be the year that project starts. TLDR - list motivation, did some nerdy stuff and feel motivated again. Some random hobby pics

    Small wip on the manticore.
  15. Praecautus
    In January 2021 I pledge to Paint my newly built manticore all nurgly hopefully paint my kitbashed Khorne lord on daemonic pony. Either order and build some slaves to darkness knights or paint an Idoneth shark.
  16. Praecautus
    Bit of building. This will be my pledge for January. Not sure I am happy with the size of the horse vs rider but then it’s better than working with finecast.
  17. Praecautus
    You sir can I interest you in donating your skull? Calling these guys done
  18. Praecautus
    It’s going to be a chaos sorc on manticore. The sorceror is painted so just the beast to go, it’s ordered. The other rider will be kit bashed to a chaos lord on daemonic Mount
  19. Praecautus
    Finish my Khorne warriors and something else which is yet to be determined. Possibly a chaos lord on manticore
  20. Praecautus
    My Khorne army is a mix of paint jobs from years ago and very recently. While there are considerable differences in quality. When on the table they look good and coherent as the base theme is the same. I would say unless they look awful, leave them as is.
  21. Praecautus
    Thanks. My Khorne army is from asqy so a simple desert base for these guys so they blend in with the bloodbound
  22. Praecautus
    I won’t finish them this month due to work. But pleased with the 15 of them so far
  23. Praecautus
    Liking the look of the Slaanesh mortals and slaves warband, very nice and probably going to be on my collection but the unhelmeted heads - this one probably wishes they had chosen Khorne instead
  24. Praecautus
    While I love manticore lord, and this build in particular, he does not add a lot to your units. I would consider switching him to a lord on krakadrak or lord on daemonic Mount in order to buff the knights. Both will do well with hew the foe and gorecleaver. If adding chaos warriors then you need 15 to keep them above the magic 10. I struggle to see them getting into your list at the moment with out some serious adjustments. The big block is useful but goes against the multiple small units which is so good for Khorne especially as you have skull crushers which form a good brick wall.
  25. Praecautus
    I pledge to finish my unit of 15 chaos warriors of Khorne. After that start another project that is yet to be determined but chosen from this list: final models in space hulk, eidolon, 2 sharks, wrathmongers, Talisman, Zombicide invader, war of the ring, gloomhaven jaws of the lion
