Warhammer Quest - Base Set

So, here we are.  About 6 months after I began painting this set in my spare time I finally finish with the Hero's this afternoon.  I'm excited.  Unsurprisingly as most people are when they finally finish a project they've been meaning to do.

I still have some expansion stuff, and extra characters that I want to paint but with Adepticon right around the corner I have other more necessary things to accomplish.  Army display boards, movement trays, etc...  Still, here are the pictures of the characters and the full set for you all to enjoy.

We have the hero's fronts and backs.


 
And the set as a whole.

Warhammer Quest - Skaven

Today I finished the Skaven for my Warhammer Quest set.  The most exciting part about that fact is that now I only have the 4 hero's remaining to be painted before Adepticon.  This is actually what I've been looking forward to the most since I can't really batch paint the Hero's I get to put a little extra time and really make them look better than the rest of the set.  Which is as it should be since they are the main focus anyway.


The Waaaghcast! Cup - End Week 7


Week 7 saw literally the fewest casualties sustained yet in the series.  Only two players listed on our roster for casualties, and not even a single death!  What is this sport coming to?  The Dwarf team The Longbeard Brawlers managed to knock the 1st place High Elves, Straight Outta Ulthuan off the top of the rankings but for how long?

Ryan G.: Stonehorn




Better late than never right? Anyway, I am still working on the Ogres even though I did not get them done by the ToFG time frame. Congrats to Joe for being the only one of us to do so. I have, however, recently finished up the Stonehorn, and figured I would throw up some pictures for you.

 

I have only played about 4-5 games with him at this point, but so far I like him. I get a little over zealous with him, and he has never survived an entire game for me. I keep running him off on his own and he ends up dying, but he does take out plenty with him. I just have to hold him back an extra turn and send him in with the rest of my army, and he will be great.



 
He is also a great cannon magnet. He halves all multiple wounds that he takes so it will take 2 very good cannon shots to take him out. Since he has 6 wounds, it is more likely that it will take 3 shots to kill him.
    


Up next for me is a couple more Ironguts to paint for the 1000 point tournament at Adepticon, but from there I have to get back into gear for 2400 points of Blood in The Sun, and paint up an Ironblaster, 4 Mournfangs, a Tyrant BSB, and possibly a Firebelly. Wish me luck on getting everything done, because I am going to need it.
Cheers,
Ryan G.

The Waaaghcast! Cup - End Week 6


At the ending of week 6, we see some weak sauce output by 6 of the teams with those 3 games ending in draws.  Chris Barnette's High Elves seem to be getting the better of everyone now that they are developing and Joe's Dwarfs put the serious boot to Ryan G's Human Team.
