War in Oregon

Since the organization goes where the person in charge of it goes, the Ordo Pigmentum has moved to Corvallis, Oregon! There has also been a lack of posts, for which I apologize. However, with lots of moving places and such, I have completely forgotten about this blog. But there will be pictures of things painted for the OFCC soon.

Thanks to the Ordo Fanaticus (http://www.ordofanaticus.com/blog/) and their forums, I have already found and met up with some WH40K players in Lebanon, OR. They have their own forum, as well (http://wvwargaming.up-your.com/). I was there this past Saturday and played a few games with my now Storm Raven-less Blood Angels. Despite going in with little real hope, I managed to win both games! I played 2000 pts Dawn of War/Annihilate against a Dark Eldar Raider/Venom spam list, and 1500 pts Pitched Battle/Capture and Control against a combined forces Eldar list (but with almost no anti-mech weaponry). My list was as follows:

HQ:
Librarian, jump pack, psychic powers: Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius

Elites:
Sanguinary Priest, jump pack
Furioso Librarian Dreadnought

Troops:
x5 Assault Marines, meltagun, Razorback with twin-linked lascannon
x5 Assault Marines, meltagun, Razorback with twin-linked lascannon
x10 Assault Marines, x2 meltaguns, power fist
x5 Death Company, x1 Chaplain Lemartes, jump packs

Fast Attack:
Land Speeder, multi-melta
x5 Vanguard Veterans, jump packs, thunder hammer, power weapon
Baal Predator, twin-linked assault cannon turret, heavy bolter sponsons

Heavy Support:
Dreadnought, assault cannon, missile launcher
Predator, twin-linked lascannon turret, lascannon sponsons

For the 1500 point list, I removed the Predator Annihilator and the Death Company and added a sixth Vanguard Veteran. The Vanguard performed admirably, getting to use Heroic Intervention in both games, though having only one squad of them was a bit disappointing as they got cut to ribbons soon after their deep strike-assaults.

OFCC was lots of fun, and I think I will be taking a variant of the above list for next year. I plan to update it a bit before then, which I will post up here. I am working on making some actual Vanguard (I used assault marines), as well as more Assault Marines. I also plan on making the predator turret into an autocannon turret, and getting another one of those (or maybe a vindicator) and another Baal predator. Finally, I hope complete Chapter Master Israfel Adek (though he'll likely be used as a Vanguard sergeant).

However, these additions may not appear for while, because I have started a Warhammer Fantasy army: Ogre Kingdoms. When I subscribed to White Dwarf back in the day, the first issues covered the new Ogre  releases, and I knew that if I ever played Fantasy, I would play Ogres. The time has now come. So, I will be working on them for a while. You can follow that progress at warintheoldworld.blogspot.com, where my friends and I will be covering our army lists, background fluff, and building and painting our armies.

Thought for the day: It is better to die for the Emperor with a painted army than live for yourself without one.

OFCC WH40K

The Ordo Pigmentum went to the OFCC tournament in Vancouver, WA this past weekend, and it was a blast! I went as part of team Glows in the Dark and played my Blood Angels (with two added Storm Ravens from Dave). It was a very, very fun tournament, unlike my Adepticon experience. I came away wanting to play more 40K, not less. I highly recommend it to anyone who is willing to make the trip from wherever you are. I personally went 2/1/2 (W/L/D), but I didn't get any best-opponent badges from anyone and my army wasn't the best painted, so I probably didn't help those scores out any. But it was lots of fun for me at least, and I even managed to win some games!

Thought for the day: The difference between heresy good painting and treachery bad painting is ignorance washing and highlighting.

Orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks, orks...

I now also a picture of the Ork trukk I painted. Disclaimer: I did not assemble nor do the delvan mud wash, which were done by Perrin.

Thought for the day: fear not the psyker painter.

Sons of Russ

I finally have pictures of the Space Wolves I have been painting!

I painted the inside of the Rhino specifically because 1) it looks cool, and 2) it has 2 fire points out the top hatch, so if you take the hatch off, you should be able to put models in a painted space, not a black hole. The key is, of course, to paint the inside before assembling the Rhino!

Thought for the day: Blessed is the mind too small for doubt anything but painting.

A Grim Reaper

High Chaplain Astorath, Redeemer of the Lost is finished! He will be on display with Captain Mordeci and Assault Squad Lazarus at Adventures Underground in Richland, WA soon.

Thought for the day: The Emperor asks only that you hate paint.
