Post Game Review, 10/16 Steamroller

Well, I really don't have too much to say. I will say I enjoyed myself immensely and had a great time. It only went three games due to the number of players and I played against Menoth in round one andlost, great game though and the first time my Conquest has been defeated. The 2nd game was Cryx and try as they might, they couldn't bring Augie down. The final game was against Legion. I went with Karchev for the sheer fun factor and it was a straight up knock down drag out heavy beast and infantry vs heavy jacks and infantry brawl. Thanks to my opponents for the great games and thanks to The Game Vault for hosting this tournament..... I might want to start talking to the pressganger about maybe running a Foodmachine event.

What is painted so far

Of models, Historicon, and game stores

Well,

I just wanted to update everyone on my progress on.. well... everything.

First of all I have to say, I had a great time at Historicon. I ran 2 games, both of which were great. I also played in Wicked Day which was interesting. I had never dealt with Car Bombs in BattleTech before. I also played in the Grand Melee. All I have to say is I have fallen in love with the Pariah and I think I will have one already painted and based to try and win the Melee next year.

As for what I am up to now, I am running a BattleTech demo at The Game Vault on August 18th. Basically I'm planning on doing some small basic games, hopefully getting some people interested in the game and see where it goes from there.

On to the painting front.

Right before Historicon I had to finish all my Mechs for Historicon which put everything on hold. Since then I have felt kind of worn out and now on my work bench, I have four different projects I keep switching between so that I don't get bored with any of them.

They are:

Tyranids..... I know..... I have been working on these forever. They are pretty nice even though I really don't care for them. I still have to finish the Hive Tyrant, 15 Genestealers, and a Lictor and they are done. Woot!!!!

Nids Almost Done

Next up on the list is a Khador Army made up of a purchase I made for 300 for tons of Khador stuff. This army I will be selling consists of 2 Juggernauts, a Destroyer, Karchev, PSorscha, a Full Mechanicks Squad, Widowmakers, and Man-O-War Kovnik. They are all being done in a generic Khador Red.

the Khador "Red Army" sans a Mechanik, Sniper, and Juggernaut who are all on the worktable

Keeping with the Khador Theme. I have a worktable covered in my army and my in progress pieces. In the back of the pic you will notice my current army which consists of :
Karchev, p-Sorscha, Plastic Destroyer - who will be converted to Black Ivan, Devastator, Classic Juggernaut, Beast-09, Full Man-O-War Shocktroops, Full Man-O-War Bombardiers, Greylord Ternion, Manhunter, Widowmakers, Widowmaker Marksman, Full Mechaniks.

I am using them as reference for the very large expansion of my army which includes:
2 Classic Juggernauts, Classic Destroyer, Kodiak, Devastator, Spriggan, Man-O-War Kovnik, Man-O-War Drachun with Dismount, Min Man-O-War Demo Corps, Min Man-O-War Shocktroops plus one additional guy, Doom Reavers, Fenris, War Dog, Berserker, pIrusk, pButcher, eButcher, pVlad, Old Witch and Scrapjack, Behemoth, Harkevich, Kayazy Eliminators, Female Manhunter. If you haven't noticed, except for character jacks and new models that weren't built in metal, I'm trying to go as much metal jacks as possible.

The 5th Border Legion Expands......some Khador Red guys at the bottom of the pic.

Alright, now we move on to my final job int he line.... Battletech:
DCMS - Strider, Raptor, Avatar
General Camo - Pariah
CCAF - Men Shen, Phoenix Hawk Reseen
LCAF - Jumping Atlas, Atlas, Arctic Fox, Cyclops
SLDF 2750 - Spider, Hussar, Champion, Bombardier, Exterminator, Osprey, Shadow Hawk Primitive
WoB - Buccaneer, Grand Crusader, Red Shift, Initiate, Initiate
AFFS - Thunderbolt 9NAIS, Hammerhands

BattleTech and the XBox360 games

Finally, I would like to say that I had the pleasure during Historicon of hosting Paul Sjardin here at my house. Great guy, fun to talk to, and has good taste in Chinese food. I hope to have him back here next year.

I would just like to finally end the post in some pics of my game room, a constant work in progress

Karchev Tier 4 for a 50pt Hardcore

So, thinking of running Karchev Tier 4 at the tournament next month if I can swing the money to get everything..... job and al being an issue.... thinking for my list though one of the following 2 lists. There is only slight variation between them:

List 1:
Karchev Final (50pts)
50pt Khador - Karchev Tier 4 Roster (Standard Game)

Selections:
* Warcaster
    * Karchev the Terrible
        * Warjacks
            Destroyer
            Devastator
            Juggernaut
            Juggernaut

* Units
    * Battle Mechaniks (Ldr and 5 Grunts)
    * Battle Mechaniks (Ldr and 3 Grunts)
    * Greylord Ternion (Ldr and 2 Grunts)
    * Man-O-War Shocktroops (Leader and 4 Grunts)
    * Man-O-War Shocktroops (Leader and 4 Grunts)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

List 2:
Karchev Final (50pts)
50pt Khador - Karchev Tier 4 Roster (Standard Game)

Selections:
* Warcaster
    * Karchev the Terrible
        * Warjacks
            Destroyer
            Devastator
            Juggernaut
            Juggernaut

* Units
    * Battle Mechaniks (Ldr and 5 Grunts)
    * Greylord Ternion (Ldr and 2 Grunts)
    * Man-O-War Shocktroops (Leader and 4 Grunts)
    * Man-O-War Bombardiers (Ldr and 4 Grunts)

I wont post the tier rules so as to not step on any toes at PP. I will say this though. The Ternion is only there from necesitty. Otherwise I woudl have found a better use for thier 4 points, like a Man-o-War Drachun. I will say though, where I find myself hung up is wether to take Bombardiers to eat up a 2 point gap I have or to take a second min Mechanic squad.

Let me know what you think.
