Better late than never

Hello to everyone!

Its been a while again since my latest post and I have been stalling my hobby progress yet again... work and a terrible loss of inspiration, combined with a hefty temperature raise led me to the inevitable pause of any activity and project. Hopefully I will be able to change this situation next week, thinking of doing something radical for a change...

About a week ago I took part to a really nice local 40K Tournament, full of nice terrain, people, armies and atmosphere, the Independent Club Tournament. This time in conjunction with the main event, was organised a painting competition full of quality entries from various talented Greek artists, you can see some pictures of the whole event over their Facebook page

I have decided to enter the competition with some of my models as well and I have managed to earn the 1st place for my Marshall Durak Rusk Conversion

that's my prize in the back! :P

I am so happy for this, and although a long time has passed since then, I feel the need to share it with you people! 

So there you go, a small update for now. Hopefully I will get my hands working again to present something bigger! :)


In the meantime, maybe leave me a vote for Mr Rusk in CoolMiniOrNot if you haven't already! ;)

Last but definitely not least, an extremely cool playlist for your early summer enjoyment! Take care!!

For Dorn and Terra!

And thus another Tournament Sunday ends leaving me with the sweetest memories! As promised I am back to post some great pics from yesterday's Genocide Chronicles that I took part with my Imperial Fists and my new 40K friends.

3 great battles, 2 victories, 1 draw and a helluva time was yesterday's aftermath. Great place to play, wonderful terrain (although a little scarce on some places) and great gamers to interact! Anything more for a wargamer to ask? Let me give some details on the whole event

1st battle was with the new Dark Eldar and I was kinda worried on how to face them since I knew but little on this list...Loads of witches on fast raiders, Helions with the new Baron fella, loads of dark lances and Mr Absdurbael (I hope to spell it right... :P ) himself leading the fray! The highlights on this battle have to be my scouts that took down the 2 Talos before they could cause any harm and of course Lysander that eventually took Absdurbael down in the last turn of close combat. Unfortunately got carried away by the massacre in the close combat and failed to capture the opponent's objective and the game ended up in a tie... (although I won in VPs count).



I must say that the terrain was also really great! Although impractical in gaming terms in some occasions, it really got me into the mood!

2nd Battle was with Daemons. Thats an army that I know some things about and I was kinda confident when the matchups came along. But a game is a game and nothing is certain on how it will end up. The list was quite powerful with 2 Bloodthirsters, Kharnak and a pack full of hounds horrors, flamers and 2 Daemon Princes... I was really hoping for the Chaos Gods to continue being fickle as they were usually with this Codex! The game had its ups and downs with things being really balanced in most parts of it but I managed to turn the tides on the last turn scoring 3 more kill points and winning eventually a rather insecure game. This should teach me being overconfident...


I should also point out the fact that the Daemon army was a real beauty to see. Really well painted and I really enjoyed playing with it, no wonder it won the best painted army award in the end (more on this later)

3rd Battle was with the Eldar. I don't know how this happens but it seems that in EVERY Tournament no matter how many players are playing with them, I ALWAYS get to play with at least 1 Eldar army... it is as someone sets this up and I must say that my statistics are not the best against the pointed ears... but this time it was different. A rather unusual army list consisting of loads of jetbikes, shining spears (boy I haven't seen those fellas in ages) fire dragons, dire avengers and the Avatar. The highlight of this match has to be the lonely Terminator that after successfuly survived for 4 rounds of combat with the Avatar, eventually hammered the Eldar god to the ground! Victory for me again and a surpisingly easy one as well... I'm slowly starting to get over my Eldar phobia.



Overall our team finished 4th with a point difference from the third one, really nice result considering the fact that we had to face some of the top players in Greece!

Last but not least was the best painted army contest. I was nominated for best painted although my army is far from finished, I had some units just painted the minimum 3 colours for the requirements of the tournament. I lost to the great daemon army that I played with in the 2nd battle, a fair result. Hopefully when I finish mine I will get it next Tourney ;) Here are some pics of the finalists for the best painted army;



The winning best painted army!

So there you go, If you look closely you can get a glimpse of some things I finished painting for my Fists, I'm in the process of getting pictures, so stay tuned to see more yellow madness coming up!

Painting frenzy!!

Hello once again! This will be a short one just to let everyone know that I am still alive and that I am currently painting like a maniac (hmm that one sounded a lot like Metallica's all time favourite... ) to try and finish my Imperial Fists army till Sunday... yup you heard it right, there is a great tourney gig going on that I will take part in and I am trying to have a Tournament legal painted army! Yup I know that its a really big task but I am kinda moving fast. So far both Land Raiders are finished and I am in a good place with my Land Speeder, the Termies and the Drop Pod... I promise that as soon as the Tourney is over I will post pics of my Army as well as the games of the Tournament as always, so give me a couple more days!

Another Tournament is over

... and what a great experience... with 34 people attending and loads of fun in a great place!

3 Battles were played in total, I got to play with Eldar (I can't seem to get away from them in tournaments...) Daemons and Imperial Guard. I got 2 victories with Eldar (yupeeee!!!) and Daemons (Ghaz got the title Daemonhunter from this battle, see the pic below) but got beaten by the Guard, from a very powerful and fast list with Vendettas and loads of Stormtroopers and veterans and of course meltas...! 

One Bloodthirster down... 1 more to go :P



3 Great games and one helluva day full of gaming!! Can't wait for next time!! XD

One more tourney is over...

...and what a great time it was!! Our team placed second overall (I remind you it was a doubles tournament) and I must say I played one of the best battles with a rather interesting Ork army. As you can see from the pics it was a fully blown up Nob Biker Speed Freek WAAAGH!! with a double Warboss mayhem!!


Uhh... sir I think we may have a problem....! 

It was so tense trying to take all these double wounded T5 frenzied killing machines, it almost made me homesick of my own orks ...

Heres a more panoramic view of the same caption, one click before the massive close combat started!



Things didn't go so well for my Termies lurking in the Raider (mainly due to my inability to roll my 2+ Armor saves... :S ) but the tides of the battle eventually turned mainly due to the great firepower that we had... 

Great stuff... thats why I love this game so much!!

On to the painting table once again, more updates soon!!

new commission ... and then some!

Hello everyone! It's been quite a while but I've been busy as hell for the past couple of weeks and the scedule won't seem to change for the next 2 as well so updates will be scarce...

On the bright side, I've got 2 more commission jobs settled, A Blood Angels and an Eldar army. I've started working on some Swooping Hawks as you can see from the picture


I have also started work on the Blood Angels part of the commission with a wonderful new model, Asorath the Grim. Pics of him soon as I am ready to finish him, most probably today!

Last but not least, tommorow I will be attending a doubles 40K Tournament and I will give you a report as soon as I can, so keep an eye on this space.

Take care everyone!!

Tourney time again!

Hey everybody! Just returned from a local 40K tournament and took the 1st place with me. I have to say that it was a real pleasure all the games and I had so much fun! 

The best thing about this tourney was Snikrot! I must say that this guy just won a permanent place in my roster, at least for some games to come. Not the monster killing machine that one would expect but its a pain in the **s for the opponent and he killed more than his point cost in every game... and he is a ninja ork! what more can an ork player ask for? :P

Here are some pix:
