For fun pickup games and Iron Arena games at WMW, I am thinking about bringing my Minions army with and try out a 'Rask' "Will Work For Food" list with my 'Dracodile' and I needed another Lesser Warlock for my list, so I decided on 'Brun Cragback & Lug'.
It was actually this model years and years ago that got me interested in Hordes and the Minions. It was just many years later that I finally purchased the model and now they are painted. I was hoping to give them a try tonight, but with attending the Michigan GT tomorrow, I need a little more practice with my Khador. Maybe next week they will see the tabletop for a game.

To complete the FA3 allowance, I have today ‘Gatorman Husk 3’. Pretty much identical to 1 and 2, but as I mentioned it a few posts ago, I no longer care about having duplicate models/units for my Warmachine/Hordes armies (unless it is a spam list where after I buy all the models Privateer Press will then nerf them.). Usually this hapens on the FA U models (U = unlimited).
Pretty much identical to 
The FA for Gatorman Husk’s is 3, when I looked at the model and the card I thought it would be cool to run all 3 in a list, so while my friend was picking up my pre-releases at LVO, I had him snatch up 3 of these for me. I think the abilities that he has on the back of his card are really cool and unique and would be fun to play with. They’ll make my opponent think twice before killing them (when they are disabled you center a 5” AOE on it and models suffer a POW 12 corrosion damage roll). I can see myself running these guys into groups of Units and if left alone they can capture a Flag or contest a Zone.
Now back to a few Minion models for the week and we start it all off with the final models (Unit) needed for my half of the 2018 AdeptiCon Warmachine/Hordes Team Tournament with ‘Boil Master & Spirit Cauldron’.
‘Barnabas, Lord of Blood’ or ‘Barnabas 2’ for short was just released on January 19th and I was able to pick him up the following weekend at my LGS. I have been waiting for the Minions to get a caster like ‘Barnabas 2’. I am very comfortable with my Khador playstyle of running ‘Butcher 1’ that whenever I played my Minions I did not have the same feeling. Now with ‘Barnabas 2’, he is a get up in your face and kill everything type of caster. I am really looking forward to giving him a try.
The Minions ‘Gatorman Soul Slave’ is another new model released from Privateer Press three weeks ago on Janyary 26th. I had drove down to South Bend the next day to my local game store in order to purchase him, but they did not receive any (the trip was not wasted as I did pick up other models at that time). So I had to drive back home and start looking online. Privateer Press showed them as out of stock right away on their site, but I did manage to find an online retailer that showed they had some in stock, so I was happy.
Today we have the second Bone Shrine to complete the matching set. They are FA2 (meaning you are allowed to field 2 of them in a list) so I figured I’d better have both of them. As I mentioned a little while back, I used to not care to have multiples of the same models, but recently that has changed for some reason. Maybe part of the reason is I want to play Hordes more and get better at it and I’ll need lists that are somewhat competitive, plus recently the resin models coming from Privateer Press (especually these Minions) have been looking really good.
Back to hitting my painting queue for the week. Continuing with some of the early model releases at Las Vegas Open, I am now working on the two Bone Shrines that I purchased. These models can be deployed 12” beyond your Deployement Zone and you can channel spells through them. They do not move in the game, but can be great to also hold a Flag. I think these are the most candles I have ever painted. I usually do my candles in a off-white color, but wanted to do something different with them on this model to stand out from all the skulls, so I elected to try red.
The past couple of days I have been going back and forth about what list should I play in the AdeptiCon 2018 Warmachine/Hordes Team Tournament. Each player is allowed 35 Points and I could not decide between my Khador ‘Butcher 1’ list, my Minions ‘Maelok’ list or my Minions ‘Barnabas 2’ list. This morning I finally made my decision and I am going with the Minions ‘Barnabas 2’ list. After further looking into the list I saw that it could also really benefit my partners (son) list who will be playing ‘Kromac 2’. So we are going to be playing with two Warlocks who can really put down the beating.
Sundays are usually my day to prep models for the upcoming week, no different today. Since I am still undecided what my plans are for AdeptiCon 2018, I need to get myself prepared and start building my Khador ‘Winterguard Rifle Corps’, and these guys were not fun to build at all. I spoiled myself lately with the new resin models and metal models that I forgot about all the little pieces that need to be glued on plastic models.
AdeptiCon 2018 is just under 40 days away and I am still deciding on what lists to play for my events (and actually what events...I have been changing my mind lately on what to play Friday and need to decide quickly).
Well snow yesterday evening (and all through today) kept me from getting in a game of Hordes last night. So onto finishing my ‘Void Leechs’.
As I mentioned yesterday, I am working on the three pack of ‘Void Leechs’ and today is number two of three.
For the next three days I will be working on my three pack of ‘Void Leech’s’ and today I have number one completed.
Well the snow last night (2”) kept me inside for the night instead of driving out for a game so then more work continued on my Minions. When I ordered my ‘Gatorman Soul Slave’ last week, I decided to add another ‘Feralgeist’ to my order seeing how they were only asking $9. Currently none of my lists require a second ‘Feralgeist’, but you never know in the future. I am nearing that point with my Minion (Gatorman) models that I am being ok with having a few duplicate models for lists. Eventually I will also add some Farrow models to my Minions, but for the moment I am concentrating on the Gatorman.
