i'm super proud of the Russ. from my gameplan post:

1. go to Michael's this week, buy:
   
   1. model car got 2 @ Toys R Us on clearance for <$5 each
      
   2. plastic glue
      
   3. black primer
      
   4. dulcote
   
   
2. model a tank commander in the Russ
   
3. prime the Russ. it's ready. prime it? bitch it's ready
   
4. finish modeling drivers for the buggies and prime them
   
5. prime the stormboyz which have been sitting on my desk for 4 months now.
   
6. model the car from Michael's into a wartrukk
   
7. fix the boyz whose basing is peeling from the base (sand)

Fuck me! I'm feeling creative!

So i've all but completed the Russ. Just need to model a commander and paint the grot rigger. here's some pix
























Also i've finally put some work into my Killa Kans. Amy loves 'em. They still need some work and the base will really round out the looks.

Progress!

I finally made some progress on my army. I haveprimed 2 more boyz w/rokkits, both kans are primed, and my Russ is primed and began painted.

i've primed it black, drybrushed it boltgun metal, drybushed mythril silver, bullet holes gone over in black and touched up in mythril. same with scratches. glyphs done in yellow and white. need to get a new pot of blood red to finish. not sure if i wanna add camouflage or just dags. prolly just the dags.

7/24/07 Waaagh! Grimdakka vs. Eldar 750 pts

Played a modified version of my 750 point list. Was looking for more armour penetration as the last 750pt game ended badly as I couldn't pop his SMurfs.

Warboss - Eavy armour, cybork body, slugga, choppa
Trukkboys x9 - burna; nob - power klaw, choppa; trukk - red paint, rokkit
Slugga Boyz x20 - rokkits x3; nob - power klaw, choppa
Slugga Boyz x20 - rokkits x3; nob - power klaw, choppa
Killa Kan - rokkit

He ran:
Falcon tank
Eldritch(?)
Some sort of retinue with the eldritch
2 units of guardians

as my opponent was just returning to 40k we chose to play an old school "cleanse" mission for victory points. not the 4th edition version with board quarters and such (perhaps i would have come out better if we had).

Turn 1 - attached my warboss to my trukkboy mob in the trukk. I ran the trukk behind what i had hoped was some good cover marched the boyz forward. the kan screening a unit of boyz (my rokkit boyz poking around from the sides of the kan.
he jumped his tank around cover and popped my trukk. (this would put the monkey in my strategic wrench). i made all my saves on my boyz and my warboss.

Fast forward, i made both of his guardian squads flee off the board, but not without taking numerous shooting casualties. his falcon took many hits and stunned his cred for about 1/2 the game, but could not penetrate it.

Conclusion: i needed to get into cc faster. i should have moved my boyz behind the killer kan further left and screened my trukk behind them from the falcon, this way i would have been able to overrun his gun line sooner and avoid more shooting casualties.

Gameplan

Okay, so it's been probably 4 months since i've done anything with my army short of playing 3 games since being back from the honeymoon. (because i am still not all painted i've lost 2 of the three becasue of the dice gods)
