Kanban 2015 Status is Level: Sleepy Puppy



So, going into 2015, the ol' Kanban board is looking rather amusing. Thought I'd share.  This post is what constitutes my hobby commitments for 2015. Wish me luck, because all of this needs to be done in addition to trying to lose weight, working, doing the podcast, and having a life!

Paint Work




The main drive right now is to finish the two projects I have for Frontline Gaming. One is of 55 scouts and the other is a Space Marines project with some Legion of the Damned and some vehicles.  I hope to have them finished soon.

Titans



Also on the docket are the John's Titans.  I want these done by January.  I really, really do.  I think it's possible, but I just need to keep my greedy mitts off the Orks in order to accomplish it! I have several stages to complete:

Prototyping
Cut body base
Re-position legs
Chassis
Missile podsArms
Neck
Head
Guns
Trim - in progress
Fill gapsSand
Details

Secure to a base for balance purposes

Mephirit Dynasty Formation



My reward, as it has always been, for completing the Titans is to build and paint my Necron army. Some new rules have come out which will take this huge, Warrior-Heavy army I'm building and make it a bit more competitive to play. The new Detachment allows you to take up to 8 Troops and allows you to re-roll your Reanimation rolls of a 1. The idea is to build all 155 Warriors and their Overlord over the course of a week, then paint them in one long weekend.

Orks!



I have so so so many Orks to work on, including models for the Tuska Project.  I need to do a Combat Patrol for Adepticon, otherwise, the Orks will be an on-again off-again project for a few months.  In addition to the Tuska project, I have some Nobz, Meganobz, Mek Gunz, Deffkoptas, a Runtbot, some Looted vehicles (for a future Diggaz project), several ICs, and much, much more.

Daughters of the Final Autumn




This was to be the great project of 2014 before I got very, very busy.  Between Adepticon prep and working on the Titans all before starting to work for Frontline, this just didn't happen.  The level of detail required to make these ladies the way I want them means I think this will be last on my priorities list for the time being.


Scheduling

I want to be done with the paint work and Titans by the end of January, but I think realistically, I can expect to be done by early February.  I really need to work on a dinner party game of Dark Heresy which I'll be running at Adepticon as well as the Star Trek Attack Wing tournament I'm running at that convention. This will slow me down considerably and I think it's best to focus on those tasks as well as the Orks I need for that tournament.

January:  

  • Paint Commissions
  • Promote STAW Tournament
  • Plan Dark Heresy game
  • Work on Titans

February:  

  • Finish Titans
  • Necron Project
  • Playtest Dark Heresy game

March:  

  • Paint Orky Daemons for Tuska project (30x Bloodletters, a Bloodreaper, and a Herald of Khorne).  
  • Adepticon!
April:  
  • Orks!


That's as far as I can plan ahead.  I'll see y'all on the other side!

    Sounds like a good year in the making! What are your thoughts on the formation for monoliths/warriors/immortals? It seems to me like monoliths are underappreciated and this formation just adds yet another cool rule to what they do already.

      I am not going that deep into the codex. I'll die. LOL. But I love these neat formations... I hope they add more variety on the tabletop.

Ordo Draconis Armies on Parade

As I finish up models that have been sitting in my queue, I've been doing army shots including them. Last week, I finished up the knight models I had lying around. The lore for Knight House Draco has advanced in the Era Indomitus. The house's pencheant for daemon fighting has caught the eye of the Ordo Malleus and they have been brought into the fold. Their worlds have been put under communications blackout and household forces sworn to the crusade against the Ruinous Powers. They are now known as the Ordo Draconis and even Greater Daemons tremble at the mere mention of their name. Tiamat Drogon Gojira Melificent Falcor Smaug Jabberwocky Jormungandr The Eye Stalkers

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Orks either for F

2021 in Review and Looking Forward

Newly-painted models of 2021 Hobby progress was largely successful in 2021 with a huge focus on repainting old Orks into the new scheme.  Album for fully painted models of 2021: https://photos.app.goo.gl/CPwtmvia5UQLguka8 Album for repainted models of 2021:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/WxGgtThxS7M6bdmp6 By the numbers: Points fully painted: 4457 Models fully painted: 132 Points repainted: 5467 Models repainted: 205 Total points: 9924 Total models: 337 After completing all the repaints, I managed to get some army shots of the Orks, which doesn't include the new Megaboss or the Bossbunker, but it's most everything else, about 26,000pts in new money: Morkers Morkers Dreadmob Gorkers Mercenaries and Misc. 2022 For 2022, I have a lot of projects on the burner including more Orks, a Cities of Sigmar project, and Tau. As usual, the Rogue Trader idea keeps percolating and collecting one kit at a time in its little, plastic container. Orks: 9x Killa Kans 3x Deffkoptas (also need to rebase
