Ork City part I

 

        The Ork building were a limited run made for only a few people. I can tell it was done in Europe by the resin. It is brittle train store resin they use. I got mine in a collection I bought years ago. 

        I tried selling them serval times. No one wanted to pay what I believe they were worth. They sat in store while I was in Argentina. They sat here in a box. I tried to sell them last year. No one. 

        The buildings were primed black when I got them. I washed them and primed them again with Matte Summer Wheat. Dry brushed up from the bottom with GW Foundation tausept. Dry brush lightly down from the top with P3 Cygnus yellow. Then dry brush the center with stynylrez sand primer.

        Into the drawer with the transfers. I only have a couple of Ork sheets. I will use all of them.

           Long ago I did this one as a test piece. A bunch more were done and sold to a dude in Atlanta. It has been reflocked a few times. I had kept all the left over parts.


        A new larger one is shaping up. Cork was the base for the original group. Lowes had no cork. Here I sit messing around with packaging foam. It will work, but the rock effect cork makes wont be there. I will have to seal it also as spray paint eats this crap.

        Not too bad. It took forever to finish.

Home????


     Man, I have not been home is so long I don't remember which light switch does what! Here I stand flipping switches like a mad man trying to get the fan to come on.

    First thing is first, Ebay stuff going out. Of course nothing sells until the day after I leave. Next finish up some minis, to make room. 2 more aircraft for the traitor guard/IG. Another character for India. I wanted her skin to be a little lighter. I don't know, I may go back?

Cigar Fest 2023. I missed the best 3 days. Heavy rotation screwed me out of them. I went Sunday. I had received the 45 preselected cigars months ago. Once the fest starts you get to pick another 20. Last year's selection to pick from was 1000 times better. I gave 7 of my 20 away to deployed soldiers. Montecristo was there. I got 2 boxes of the sword, light&dark, 11 bonus cigars, 2 ash trays, 2 bags. Then the wifi won stuff.

        My city table needs too much work. I won't finish in time. Being gone for so long, so much, so many weekends, made finishing it impossible. I want to do it right. Ensure it will hold up to Con play and transport. I need a special table for Fall In. The Ork city never sold. I will paint it up for Fall In. 

    
        My kid has been breaking balls to paint stuff again. I am taking full advantage of her. She is doing Anno Domini 1666 terrain for me. The desert building is a stretch, but remember Raoul deployed and died in North Africa.

NetEpic Armageddon Traitor Guard Vs Emperor's Children 3000pts

 

        I went with an Elastic Defense concept. The tank companies being deployed forward. Disciples would allow for the elasticity of the tank companies. The INF and scouts would protect against flanks and tellies. Then a shield of flak.
        The  expense of companies as a core choice creates problems with activation count. I could not squeeze in a SC. Free enforcers every 500 points puts almost every activation with +1 in combat. 
        The Maladors are 15cm move. They can garrison with a 75cm range. Units in garrison are considered in cover while on overwatch. This is the trick of the army! That 75cm battle cannon puts they deployment zone in range.

        Kal put up an excellent test. Kal laid down the objectives in the worst situation for my list to function with. He had air and tellies. No BMs or orbital gave an advantage. With either I think I would be screwed due to the size of activations. 

        At the end of 3, I had DTF with his blitz contested. A failed activation stopped me from getting TSNP. This army needs a SC. it cannot function failing activations!





    Tank company deployed on overwatch on a forward objective.

        The other tank company garrisoned forward. the Black road is half way. The disciples are right behind ready to leap or cover the treat. 

        End of turn one. Everything hiding, tank companies anchoring and getting attention. The disciples in covering positions. Sentinals pushed up to screen the flank.

The Road Heavy Rotation part VII

 

        I have got nothing done in 3 weeks. I play one game of Epic with Kal, one game of Anno Domini 1666 with VV. Then flying back and forth to Cali.

        At least the printer was burning the whole time making parts for the city table.


        Some dude was unloading his 30k Aussie marines. In the lot were Sallies. I grabbed it for one small baggie of Sallies for 40 bucks. the rest were sold before arriving for 150. The left overs are going to Coach.
