Med Tour (part 2)

Apocalypse, da real one !

The Med Tour is first and foremost an opportunity for a small number of players to meet around a table and play a Warhammer 40.000 Apocalypse game.

But not the good old Gran'pa Apo where you come with all kind of armies and a bunch of allies to fill the 3k army list ! 

I'm talking about an apocalypse game for real players, where armies count 3k points without allies, with more Super Heavies that you've ever seen in your all life...

I'm talking about the Forge World Apocalypse, the real one.

No less than FOUR super heavies in this picture...

Saturday game :

  The good side : Ultramarines (Bamako) - Dark Angels (Aarghal) and Eldars (Patriarche)

  The Bad side : Bad Moons (Greg) - Thousand Sons (Alaric) and GI (Duncan)

We had a lot of Super Heavies :

  - One Tzeench Silver Tower (hand made)

  - Two Ruzz Bots (old Armorcast)

  - One Baneblade (Games Workshop kit)

  - One Shadowsword (Games Workshop kit)

  - Two Titan Knights (garage OOP series)

Half the bad ones army in front of me ? CHAAAAARGE !!!

The game was epic. Full of twists, situations reversals, apocalyptic explosions and setbacks. Imagine the devastating effects of the new big apocalyptic explosion when a titan explodes !  - 

One of the game's best time : I deepstriked with no less than 30 terminators, and Belial, on turn 2.

I love playing my terminators. In a 1500 pts game, I'm playing a squand counting 10 terminators every time I can.

For this week-end, I played :

  - Belial

  - 10 T with two heavy flammers*

  - 10 T with two assault canons

  - 10 Deathwing Knights

*including 4 lightning claws pairs and 3 Thunder Hammers.

Med Tour 2013 (1)

  My apologies for last week. I didn't post anything and I'm ashamed about it. I was completly out of control with the Med Tour event.

  It started with a long two weeks painting rush.
I can't hold a pencil for a month, but it was totally worth it !

3k Dark Angels Army. Repent for your sins !

  With Belial as an HQ, all terminators are troops. Almost : Deathwing Knights aren't. 

  This allowed me to grab only one minis bag. I had a 10 hours train travel, including two train changes.

  The gaming room is ready, with four tables for a 3 vs 3 game. Almost all are made with Games Workshop -and Forge World- hard tables.

  This will be a pretty good gaming week-end !

[more next post, next week]

Dark Vengeance part. 1 : terminators - WiP 5

  There are only four days left before I have to stop painting, leave the house, take the train and have an all day long train trip.

To do :

• Faces
• Angels wings
• Metallics

Then they'll be ready for the Med Tour 2013 Apocalyspe !

Dark Vengeance part. 1 : terminators - WiP 4

Still late, but I made some progress.

3 down, two more to go.

Ready for metal !

  Two more Knights to paint, and it's a sweet sensation to see all these minis painted. Metalics and faces are to be made, and I'll be ready fir the Med Tour 2013.

Dark Vengeance part. 1 : terminators - WiP 3

  I'm late. Real life problems don't allow enough time to paint, and I'm in a hurry to get my 3k Dark Angels army for the Med Tour Apocalypse (10 & 11 august 2013).

Two Deathwing Knights are almost ready, three more to go. Metallics aren't done, neither their faces.

Two tacticals terminators are done, third one's waiting.

  Being in a hurry, I decided to change my painting technics. Before, I painted all the bases and metalics, then all the highligths and finally the shades. Too long.

  Now, I start with the darkest color, paint bases, shades & highlights. I repeat this operation till I finishes with the brightest one. Then comes the metallic.This method allows me to reduce the painting zones ans helps to "read" the mini while painting.

Interactive Webcomic

  Internet gives us a free acces to a large variety of webcomics. This was prevuated by Scott Mc Clouds since 1998.

  I offer you to test a new webcomic form : a reading and interactive game, designed like a webcomic.

PLay, and read, Icarus Needs, a new webcomic genre.

Deadline it is !

  To be honest, I didn't take any picture. I finished (almost) a terminator, second one is in WiP mode... But I'm  out of  time to give you a snapshot. Sorry readers, I'll give you more next week-end !

  Even Mr Potatoe is upset about me...
