week three

well I have had some time off this week so I spent some time working on a game table as well as a few models when I could.
I also did some model making in the form of a base for raspi and some ice collums.

also started painting some one offs these include ref for dread ball and a couple more.

and the last was the second uint for my mantic elves and the base.

week two

This seems to be a bad week I had more models arrive then I painted. so that means to paint more then I buy is allready behind.

That being said I have done some painting undercoated about 30models but I have completed 5 maliflaux models.

I have also completed the gaint eagle and diplay for him.
this is for the undead elves I am doing.

week one down

well I have finished 20 Mantic skellies that where on the list.

I also had to touch up my Maliflaux models, I only just finished them. I when out and got a matt seal.


the other  news is that I have 20 mantic elves, 10 skellies rev, 10 goblins ,10 orcs to add to why painting list.

some more baseing

well I have based the model. I was plannng to leave the model white as it is a contrast colour and dose not take away from the primary model. It will now also depend on if it effects painting points.

600pt games

Well over the parst month or so I have started getting players to play some small format games we have been playing some 600 pt games.

I is great as I have been trying out some different builds.
I build the list without knowing what I am up against.
the first turn sore the brets panic of the table victor to me both units of knights and the general with BSB. so we called it that they did not run off and continued the game.
as after that I got tabled I was play my High Elves V Brets.
You can get a lot of 2+ amour saves for 600pt.

I had a level 2 on fire,
12 archers full command -
12 archers full command
5 ellyrain reavers

well did alright to start taking off knights as they came down the table. but when the got in the amour save I just could not get through.
Metal magic would have been better.
I am thinking sword masters or a white loin list would be better.

next I might try

Korhil
10 spearman
10 spearman
9 white loins command
lion chariot

or

noble
15 archers
10 sword masters
5 white lions
