Secret Army Project Reveal!

Skipping the Weekly Update Thing this week, since everything Ive been working on has been in my Secret Fantasy army.

As I said before, it seems that if I talk about an army here while it is in the formative stages, I quickly lose interest. This has meant that I have been unable to decide or remain motivated by a new Warhammer Fantasy army for quite a while. A couple weeks ago, I said screw it, and picked up a box of troops, and decided to not talk about them until I was so far into them that I couldnt drop them. That time has come. This past weekend I took a mountain of old roleplaying books to the FLGS and got a nice chunk of store credit, which I used to buy about 1500 points of Fantasy models, which brought my collection up to 1800 points. In too deep now!

So, the grand reveal that everyone is curious about.... Ogre Kingdoms!


I got a box of Bulls (I dont care what the book says now, they will always be Bulls to me) to start off, and the stuff I got with the credit was a Battalion box (6 Bulls, 6 Ironguts, 4 Leadbelchers), a box of Mournfang cavalry, a Thundertusk, a Butcher and a Bruiser. On Wednesday I went and picked up a second Butcher, and Bragg the Gutsman to convert into my Battle Standard.

As of Thursday evening, all models were assembled and based, and will hopefully be primed by the time this posts.

I added extra kit to the first Butcher, since this model will be my Slaughtermaster. I have decided that the Bruiser model is going to sit for a bit, as I was going to convert him to be my Battle Standard Bearer, but decided to pick up and convert Bragg instead. I simply didnt add the chained blade, instead opting to use the big icon from the Ironguts. This will double as his great weapon (are YOU going to tell him he cant use it as such?). The second Butcher only got a single chunk of meat to munch on, figured less is more to tell the two apart.

Here is the army list, how I will be playing these guys to start out...

Slaughtermaster w/ lvl4, Gruts Sickle

Bruiser w/ BSB, Rampager's Standard, Great Weapon

I will be expanding this to 2500 soon, and beyond that? Dunno, depends on how much I like painting them...

I must also add that Ive been chattering about this project for the past week or so on Twitter, driving @DocBungle insane, and inspiring @RTGamer to start his own Secret Army project...

Weekly Hobby Update Thing #12

Another nearly dead week.

I slapped together a few spare Space Marine bits, and primed them in preparation for testing some colors I was planning on using on a Necron army. The models are sexy, and I am seriously tempted, but the rumors of Chaos returning next year is making me hesitant.

I also started the flesh on about half of that unit of troops for my Secret Fantasy Army. Should get the rest of the unit soon...

Speaking of the Secret Army Project... I picked up a lot of models for it today. As in enough to hit about 1800 points. I am going to try to get them built this week, and do the grand reveal on update #13. I hope.

Weekly Update Thingie #11

Didnt get as much painting done over the vacation week as Id hoped, but I am going to blame being sick for that! :P

All of the 30-something Red Scorpions have gotten their first coat of yellow trim done, gonna do touch-ups, then move on to the black.

Cryx.... got nothing.

The rest of my WarmaHordes factions... got nothing.

Secret Project unit #1 is assembled and based, and awaiting my going out and priming them.

Oh, did I forget to mention I have a Secret Project army? It is WHFB, but after the fiasco with the Nurgle Warriors, I decided to keep the identity to myself until I decided for sure this is an army I want to work on, which means two units and a character fully painted.
