This year is the year I clear my pile of shame. I have:

--Slaves
Lord on kark
3 varanguard
Sorceror
10 warhounds
20 chosen
6 theridons
Daemon prince
20 splintered fang

--Ogors
15 yhetees
2 ironblasters

-- Fyreslayers
30 slayers
6 grimwraths
Gotrek

--Cities
2 flamespyre
10 phoenix guard
Prime

--Tzeentch
40 pink horrors

--Sons
4 x megas

-- gitz
20 bouncers
10 squigs
2 mangler squigs
Loonboss

-- ironjawz
18 pigs
Mawkrusha

--30k world eaters
2 Spartans
20 inductii
Angron

My first priority should be to paint my slaves, as I'll be using them for an event in May. But I am totally sick of painting armour, having just finished 20 warriors, 10 knights and a unit of varanguard.

I think instead I'll be starting the year with fyreslayers. I have a load of 3d printed stuff from Highland Miniatures, super excited to get started. Plus I suspect fyreslayers will be getting a buff in the new year with the new GHB. Famous last words though!

I've done a test model already for my slayers. 36 more to go

Slowly but surely

sand ruin Dec 30, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

First unit of vulkites done

sand ruin Jan 2, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Today's hobby progress. 20 more vulkites and six grimwraths primed and based

#

In other news bought six stormdrake with high elf dragon cavalry dudes as riders, and a karzai. My impulse purchase fie this month

sand ruin Jan 5, 2023, 8:59 AM

#

Six more done

#

Coming up to half way through the infantry. Might crack on with my characters next, so I don't get sick of painting them

#

This one in particular I'm looking forward to

sand ruin Jan 5, 2023, 12:25 PM

#

Potentially magmadroth proxy

sand ruin Feb 4, 2023, 11:32 AM

#

Well, been a bit lax this month. Just one unit of vulkites painted, ie. 10 models.

I guess that equals -11 on the shame golf.

I've bought five dragons, a magmadroth, a runemaster, a battleforge and a box of endless spells. That's +11.

So net zero this month

#

I'm not counting a commission painted lord of change

#

sand ruin Feb 23, 2023, 11:25 AM

#

Couple of grimwraths

#

Coming to the end of my third unit of vulkites

It's funny how when I take a break from painting, my main hobby focus becomes buying miniatures. +113 this month on a 3d printed khorne army, some vikings and some lumineth

#

Sole painted thing this month. Hoping to catch up pronto

Well I forgot to update this. Here are my thoughts on gaming this year, I posted to reddit, but will also share here.

#

This year I've experimented with many different armies. Although I've collected/painted more, here are my thoughts on the ones I used.

Fyreslayers - slow castle army, at least in the infantry build. Frustrating, as I prefer being able to reach out more, but it's slow, reactive and you constantly have to be aware of once per game effects and aura bubbles.

Sons of behemat - fast, smashy and very forgiving. This was my favourite to play, but it is very simplistic. Also, sometimes you have power imbalances, where people just can't take down a gargant a turn, and other times you're tabled pretty early.

Beasts of chaos - gavespawn list, so 21 morghurite spawn. This is a weird as hell army where you just fling your entire army across the board targeting a single spot. It's fast, it's shooty and combat is hilarious where you debuff everything in range. But it's frustrating having to roll individually for each spawn, as you effectively have 25+ units on the board. The off-board heroic actions are fun and the flexibility to appear from board edges give you a lot of options.

Stormcast annhilator army - Stormcast aren't a beginner army. I played five games with this over the course of a tournament and found it very unforgiving. It's not quite as fun as it appears on paper, and things can unravel quickly when you lose an imperatant, or fail a crucial rerollable seven inch charge. It also doesn't have enough chaff to block movement.

Ogor meatfist rocket tyrant/kragnos - This looked like hilarious fun, but low movement meant it doesn't dictate play too much, and with low model count and low saves, mean it can't take a punch and then swing back.

#

Barak Zon combat balloons Kharadron Overlords - This has been my most obviously strong list. The army hits harder than anything else I've ever put on the table. It has ridiculous speed, something like a threat range of 25 inches, with move/run/charge3d6 Which means you can alpha their biggest hammer unit with your entire army on turn one. When you've got a ridiculous amount of shooting, coupled with units that strike first on 2+/2+, it'll lift anything reliably. Plus you have super easy battle tactics and grand strats. Downsides are that it can utterly ruin your opponent's day. Which also sours your victory somewhat. Other downsides are that boats and balloons are quite fragile/finicky models, and prone to snapping.

Slaves to Darkness varanguard-heavy list - To be fair, I was running 21 varanguard with no heroes/herophase/spells. Even so, I expected these guys to slap much harder than they did. They are fast, but not quite fast enough to alpha. They hit hard, but not hard enough to lift absolutely anything. Aside from varanguard, slaves are a very vanilla army. They basically have good saves, and can fight quite well. That's it.

I've also collected/painted an eshin skaven army, a khorne bloodlords army, a gargant army comprised of mancrushers, a big waagh army with mostly ironjawz, a boulderhead ogor army and a troggs trogherd. But I haven't had chance to play with any of those yet.

I think 2024 will be the year I stick with something and get solid reps in with an army. I think it'll probably be KO. Or I'll tweak the meatfist list, removing kraggy and including a stonehorn. Or it'll be four megas in brodd's stomp. I haven't decided yet.

I think for me this year of experimenting has taught me that I like hyper-aggressive fast armies that hit like trucks. It's important to know yourself and what puts a spring in your step. Aesthetics aren't really important, as there are alternative sculpts out there. Playstyle is a big thing and it takes a while to know yours
