Paint Day Fun - Deathjack

Deathjack after dismembering some Cygnar

Ryan came over last night and we had a fun paint day. We figured if we're planning to do battle reports with his army, he needs to have his models painted to appease Dicelore.

Battle Report Fail - Circle vs. Menoth

Warmachine Alpha Campaign Design

I bought my boss a Cygnar battlebox to get him hooked on Warmachine and he's become my most reliable opponent. We play roughly 4-6 games a month against each other but since we started playing Steamroller scenarios, he's only beaten me twice.

I've offered to give him a slight advantage but he'll have none of it. He is a glutton for punishment.

I got an idea this evening and thought that maybe if I disguised the advantages in a campaign setting he'd be more willing to accept them and it also would help me work on bettering my strategies playing a little from behind.

He's also a gambler so I figured I can tempt him with something like if you destroy your opponents Capital they have to buy you a Colossal or an Army Box as a prize.

8 Steps to Painting Your Plastic Little Friends

Hey guys! Today I'm taking you on a trip from start to finish on how I assemble and paint my models. First off, I'm no expert. These are table top play quality paint jobs and this guide will show you how to paint your models quickly and get them on the table ASAP.

STEP 1 - Put all of your pieces in a pile on the center of the table and pour yourself a stiff drink. Make sure to smell the pile of plastic because the psychedelic fumes will help you paint later on.

STEP 2 - Assemble all of your models and give yourself a hi-five. You are not even close to being done.

Dice Wrath - Embroider Shirt

I really thought the picture was clearer on the phone but I guess I can't ever hold my camera still when I take a picture.

Ryan stopped by yesterday and picked up his official Dice Wrath embroidered shirt exclusive only to those who blog on DiceWrath.com or to people with money.

Ermahgerd! New Gargantuans are Coming!

These look super cool. I'm pretty excited for Circle Orboros and hope they don't suck like the previous ones.

Khador Shirt - Copyright Infringement at its finest.

I just want to say that I have no intention of selling this shirt. You hear me, Privateer Press? This is just for around the house while I'm in my underwear eating ice cream from the bucket.

Weird Undead Armored Guy Sketch

I was digging in my desk and found a pack of fine tip Micron pens that had been sitting unopened for years in a box and I figured I'd break them in with a little drawing.

My buddy Ryan (who also will be blogging for DiceWrath) plays a Warmachine army called "Cryx" that are full of spell slinging axe wielding undead monsters. I thought it'd be fun to draw something "Cryx-ish" and make him a shirt for when we start doing our video battle reports.

"Cryx-ish" guy drawing process

I just kind of started randomly sketching a form in pencil and then filled the shapes in with the Micron pen. I didn't want to have to draw legs and stuff so I just ended it with his hands.

Meet the Brother PR1000e. He can stitch more stitches in one minute than 1000 retired grandmas stitching on the couch while watching The Price is Right. It's an amazing piece of machinery that I'm hoping eventually pay for my son's college education or at least a couple buckets of Legos and Nerf Guns for myself.

Model Spotlight - Deathjack (Cryx) - A Love Letter to My Deathjack by Ryan Miller

Until Ryan learns Photoshop, I'm making all his images.

Basic Stats:

SPD: Standard for a cryxian heavy, the fact that this is the big daddy of cryx jacks and it matches up with the other helljacks is a blessing in disguise. Play like a true cryxian and this guys threat range is bigger than most of your victims will be expecting

STR: With two open fists combined with his high STR, you can have some real fun with power attacks. There are some fun things to be had with a double-handed throw both with your own units (bloat thrall bomb anyone?) or throwing a light jack back at its own caster.

MAT: Matches it's baby brother, the Seether on this one. Which isn't a bad thing, when you swing someone is going to be feeling it. Chances are you are either boosting to hit or damage with this guy and you should always have focus a-plenty. So for a melee monster, this one hits one way or another.

RAT: WHAT? if you even had to look at this stat, you are doing it wrong. This guy eats faces and prefers his meals fresh, moving on.

DEF: He's gonna get hit, this is Cryx we're talking about after all. DJ stands at the same level at most every other Cryx bigjack so this shouldn't be a huge surprise. Little guys can see him but won't be doing much but anyone with half a mind that's swinging is probably going to connect.

ARM: DJ is not an out boxer, he doesn't dodge and he doesn't sway. DJ prefers to get in and trade blow for blow, because most anyone else isn't going to be standing if he gets a solid trade on him. Play like a Cryxian and with the right buff you're touching Khador levels of armor here, nothing is more satisfying then watching someone try so hard to hit and having DJ just laugh in their face at their pitiful damage.

DIY Battle Bunker Structure Terrain

I'm a person that needs to glue and paint things together. If I had all the money in the world and didn't have to work I'd focus on becoming the next Asian Martha Stewart of miniature war gaming.

My wife and I just had a baby on January 31st 2015, the day before the Super Bowl and when I came home from 3 days of sleep in a chair at the hospital I need to feel "Martha Stewarty" and build things with glue and glitter.

I dug around the house for stuff but couldn't find anything till I remembered that I had precious plastic from an old Cygnar battle box on my shelf. My initial thought was turning it into some well padded dice box so I can throw dice without the fear of them rolling away and choking one of my dogs to death.

After looking at it some more It started to look more like some sort of structure so I decided to go with it.
