BloodBowl and a Bloody Battle

So  on Friday I had a chance to play as my CoA, against a large Prussian force with my buddy Gigawatts. I had to proxy some models and there was much in the way of unpainted things so there are no pictures as it would have been an ugly mess. I promise to get some Battle Reports on other stuff.

Other than learned a few of the new rules for dystopian wars that have change. I learned that the CoA are pretty badass. While we are a bit slower and have less fire power than Prussian ships, the CoA Medium class and up come with a shield generator for free and have an upgrade that allows 1 re-roll of a shield die. While is pretty amazing in my book for being a bit slower and having a tiny bit less fire power. That however is not true on the larger models, they have the generator and what seems to be the same firepower, and speed for the same cost. But the key difference is the Particle Accelerator, which is an amazing gun. For those who don't know you chose a target within 12" and get 12 dice, all misses including exploding 6's are put to the side. Then rolled on the next target in a line until there is nothing left. I shot the gun once since I had to leave early, and that one shot killed 3 Prussian frigates, wounded 1 more Prussian frigate, and then killed a FSA frigate. While I can see that the gun is extremely effective against small models since you get a large number of dice and get to hit other models, I'm curious to see how good it is against medium and up.

Now its GAME TIME, here are some shots of a blood bowl lizardmen team that i painted up a year or so ago. My team is called the Huatl Thunder-lizards, they are based off my actual lizardmen army which is the Host of Huatl, meaning I will repaint these guys after i repaint my Lizardmen army to match them.

The squishy skinks

The big guy, hes never let me down.

Some Saurus.

More of them

The team roster is 1 Kroxigor, 5 Saurus and 11 Skinks. I enjoy playing them since they are a good mix of speed and strength. I usually work on just picking the ball up and running it rather than throwing, but the skinks are damn fast so that's not to difficult. The kroxigor and saurus are pretty fast as well so they can keep up with the skinks to assist them.

Goblins and a Dreadnought

Time for a painting update, I've been working on 10 Night Goblins and a CoA Dreadnought. As usual post comments if you like my painting or if you have any tips to improve my painting.

Here are 10 Night Goblins, sadly enough this isn't even close to me getting done with the goblins. As my friends know I like to run an all Night Goblin fantasy army at times. Which is very hit or miss but its always a blast to play. After this group of 10 I am still left with 100 more to go. I probably wont post much more of the night goblins since they are a quick paint and not very cool.

10 down 100 to go.

They are a simple paint scheme, with black coats and a grey dry brush. Then its mainly all paint and wash. I don't want anything complicated with them since generally they are in large blocks and I have a 100 more to paint. My whole orcs and goblins army is going to have a redish scheme to tie it all together. Since they are the Blood Riva Boys.

Next up is the Dreadnought, which I never realized home much detail is put on the Dystopian Wars models. I must say they have done a fantastic job. The amount of detail on the models, is almost overwhelming at times. I tried to get as much as I could done without it looking to over the top. I wanted a sleak yet striking look and to be able to blend with ice but not that something is dangerous. Hence the green used to weapons and the particle accelerator and the overall icy look.

Angled shot with some extra turrets.

Side Shot

Rear shot, showing the particle accelerator contraption.

Also the green on the back isn't nearly as bright as it looks in the pictures. It blends quite well in a nice contrast effect between the light blues and greys.


As before leave comments if you like or dislike, just let me know how to improve if you dislike. Otherwise I'll work on some more orcs probably and either tyranids, infinity or more CoA. If you guys have a preference of those 3 let me know in a comment.
