Flamers!

Finished a group of 12 Flamers of Tzeentch tonight. This collection of Flamers are 3 different styles. First up is 1 Flamer from 1992 (I believe).


Next is a group of 8 Flamers from 1995 (again I think),


And the last 3 Flamers are the current style.

Next up is a group of Bloodcrushers and a Herald of Khorne. I doubt I'll get these done before Christmas due to the detail on these babies.

Descent

Had some friends over on Saturday for a game of Fantasy Flight Games' Descent. Quite a few bits in this game as you can see.

I played the Overlord with the 3 players as the intrepid dungeon explorers. Unfortunately it didn't work out well for them and I won the game. Unfortunately we didn't have time for another game.

On the painting table is a group of Flamers of Tzeentch. Also, Tuesday is the last EWG club night of the year and I'll be playing a game of Warhammer vs. Dave and his Brettonians. Should be rather entertaining.

Labyrinth

Had my friend Chris over today and we played a game of GMT's Labyrinth: The War on Terror.

Having played GMT's Twilight Struggle I was eager to get this game. It's a card driven game much like Twilight Struggle but that's probably were the similarity largely ends. In Twilight Struggle, both sides operate identically in that they can do the same actions. Not in Labyrinth. Both sides operate completely different and don't have any actions that are similar. It is a harder game than Twilight Struggle and will probably take a few games to get everything down. In our game the Jihadists (me) ended up winning the game.

The game has 4 different scenarios that determine how everything is set up. Each side has 2-3 ways in which they can instantly win. Otherwise the game ends when the players go through the card deck. Before the game starts the players can determine how many times they actually want to go through the deck: 1, 2 or 3 times. As this was our initial game, we plodded through it and we only went through the deck once. As a result it took us about 3 1/2 hours. Experienced players going through the deck 3 times would still take a good afternoon to play. And as with all recent GMT games the production quality is top notch. Hopefully I can in a few more games this Xmas season.

More Daemons

Today I finished another batch of Daemons. First up is group of 10 Bloodletters:

This next pic is of a group of 6 old style Bloodletters:

I like the 1 piece simplicity of the old metal minis but the actual sculpt is a little goofy compared to the newer sculpts. Finally last up is a Daemon Prince:

Next up is another batch of Daemons, I'm just not sure what yet.

Oh the Horror!

Tonight I finished a large block of 24 old school Horrors.


These models are actually a combination of Pink and Blue Horrors (the Blue ones were the small ones). The pink ones turned out pretty decent but the purple ones didn't turn out as well as I had wanted.

Next up I think I'll do some more Bloodletters and maybe a Daemon Prince.

I also finished the hero, Skulltaker.

Next up is a rather large unit of old-school metal Horrors.
