Tournament Tomorrow

Well, there is a 50 point Steamroller 2011 tournament tomorrow morning at Misty Mountain Games in Madison, WI.  I've decided to go and try to win coin and glory for the Protectorate of Menoth.  This will be excellent practice for the Mayhem Cup in one month so I've decided to bring the two lists I'll be fielding at the Cup.

I'll be taking some photos of the event as well as trying to remember some of my games.  Wish me luck!

Battle Report: 50 Point Game vs. Cryx

 I played against one of my local players, Bryan M.  We rolled off for scenario and got Close Quarters.  The scenarion has two 8" diameter circles, one on Bryan's side and one on my side.  The objective was to control the opposite side's circle by having only your models in it.  This scenario forces you across the table.

Preparing for the Mayhem Cup...

On April 30th, the Mayhem Cup Event will happen again in Madison, WI.  This will be Madison's second defense of the cup.  Last time,  we had 7 players from Hobbytown USA in New Berlin, WI go.  We took 6th, 8th, 11th (me), 16th, 20th, 23rd, and 38th out of 44 players.  My goal is to break into the top 10.  To do this, I've switched factions from Cryx to Protectorate of Menoth.  I've been disillusioned by Cryx for a little while now and don't want to get stuck in a rut of playing the same two or three Warcasters over and over (for the record, they were Lich Lord Asphyxious, Wraith Witch Deneghra, and Master Necrotech Mortenebra).

One of the random prizes at the event is the fully painted army drawing.  You only need to have one of your two lists you can bring to the event painted, so I'm going to do at least that and try to get both done.

What follows is the craziness I am about to embark on, along with the one guaranteed list and two alternate lists...

Painted Grand Scrutator Severius - Finished

Here is the final for the dipped and painted Grand Scrutator Severius.  I'm happy with how the robes came out, I might end up dipping all the previous Protectorate of Menoth models now to make them look as good.  The one that that annoys me slightly is the really dark Menofix on Severius staff (the cross-like symbol).

Painted Grand Scrutator Severius - Slight WIP

I felt really motivated after posting the Totem Hunter that I've decided to paint another model.  This model is one of the oldest characters in the Iron Kingdoms setting, but he's also one of the most powerful. For being an 80+ year old man, he leads troops and warjacks into battle to destroy the heathens.  He was also a lot of fun to paint.
The reason this is a slight work-in-progress (WIP) is because he'll be dipped shortly, but I wanted to show him off now.
