40K is dead, long live the new 40K

The sky has fallen and everyone is all hot and bothered about the new daemon factory psychic phase.  Everyone is crying that their favorite Deathstar is nerfed or that they lost Jaws of the World Wolf, etc.

I give you one of the new Deathstars.

Along with the just released FAQ:

There you have it, 5-10 FarSeers that do NOT suffer Perils of the Warp.  There is no restriction that disallows Jetbikes.  They will successfully cast Invisibility along with a handful of other spells.

From your Main force take an Autarch on a jetbike for grenades and other goodies, and to kick it up a notch consider giving one of this unit's FarSeers the Mantle of the Laughing God. for Stealth & Shrouded plus Hit & Run.  You can add rune of warding to each FarSeer for a 10 points each to get 5(or more) one shot +2 buffs to deny the witch. Fully loaded the Farseers are 130 points each plus 40 points for the Mantle, so yes its a minimum of 690 points for just the 5 dudes.

Now this list should not win you any friends, but it is far more cost effective ( in terms of real money) than buying a shipping container full of daemons.

Halloween = Extortion

So my boy has been taught the fine art of Trick-or-Treat, this Halloween was first holiday he has been old enough to participate in and understand.  Fortunately he grasps the finer concepts like asking for candy in exchange for protection from tricks being inflicted upon the home he is visiting.  He will make an excellent negotiator or mobster.

The little dragon visited his grandparents, and a surprise visit to Neverness to solicit candy and chase the great and furry Isis.
















On the horizon, the swarlord legs are finished (I think, I hope), the tail section is in the final stages of completion, and the head is in the home stretch.

This was painted for me by Neverness check out his blog over here nevernesshobby. This was a commissioned project, Neverness offered to paint a unit or character for the winner of a tournament.

Full auto shotgun the AA-12

This will be a departure from my normal hobby posts.  I was fortunate enough to be invited out to see the production shop and test out the Full automatic shotgun AA-12.

 I handle a business account for the owner of the company, who also engineered the redesign of this weapon system.  I got to see remote controlled building clearing armed treaded robots, remote controlled armed helicopters, and a ton of incredibly cool weapons in development.
A big thanks goes out to Jerry for the invite and tour.
