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.

With AdeptiCon 2018 being last weekend, I did not have any time to prep/build many models to paint for this week. I still had one ready to go and that is ‘Skaldi Bonehammer’. ‘Skaldi Bonehammer’ is a Command Attachment for the ‘Trollkin Champions’. One of the main benefits ‘Skaldi’ provides to the ‘Trollkin Champions’ is he grants Pathfinder to the entire Unit. With how terrain is placed with SR2017 (and I am sure it will be the same in SR2018), there is a lot more terrain now towards the center of the board. Pathfinder will not hinder the Units movement through terrain.
‘Hoarluk Doomshaper, Rage of Dhunia’ or better know as ‘Doomshaper 2’ is my first Warlock completed in my green theme and only my second Warlock for my 
I enjoy painting Warbeasts, maybe with me getting up in age, they are easier to see. I had this model the ‘Pyre Troll’ sitting in my bin of Trollblood models and just decided to open him and get him painted. I believe I know only have one unpainted Warbeast left and that one is suppose to be in my blue scheme, but we’ll see, maybe he’ll be green also. I know when my sone visits in a few days for AdeptiCon, he will be bringing me the Warbest ‘Rok’ so that one will keep me busy for a bit, and then I will have to get to painting some Units, though there will be a few items I will need to get to for my Minions army. Like I mentioned yesterday, after AdeptiCon I’ll have to re-prioritize my queue a little bit.
I have one more Trollblood model for the week, and today it is a ‘Stone Sribe Elder’. The ‘Stone Scribe Elder’ is a Command Attachment model who is used with a Unit of ‘Krielstone Bearer & Stone Scribes’. Each turn the ‘Stone Scribe Elder’ can use one of three effects that can benefit your army. The one that I am liking is called STONE STRENGTH which is while within the Protective Aura, friendly Faction models gain +1 STR.
A Light Warbeast that currently costs 10 points that can pack a punch and here we have ‘Troll Axer’. ‘Troll Axer’ is a MAT 6, DEF 12, ARM 17 Light Warbeast who has a RNG 2, P+S 14 Great Axe. ‘Troll Axers’ Great Axe also has THRESHER which allows him to make one melee attack against each model in its LOS. This is very helpful where he can go and charge in on some light infantry and easily clearing out 2-4 models with his threat range. ‘
Back to a little painting with my Hordes Trollbloods army. I am working my way down a ‘Doomshaper 2’ list that I will like to try out in the “Storm of the North” Theme and it is very Warbeast heavy (actually I currently have 3 lists for this Warlock and all are Warbeast heavy).
As I mentioned a few days ago, now that my models are completed for AdeptiCon, it is time to have some fun/enjoyment painting some models stress free. I posted on Tuesday my new ‘Troll Whelps’ in a “green” color scheme and now I am continuing that on with a Warbeast ‘Dire Troll Mauler’. I am really liking how this color scheme is turning out so far and it is much easier for me to paint than the blues.
Well we are 5 days into March and it about time I get some 
Now that we are into March and I am all ready for AdeptiCon 2018 at the end of this month, it it now time to start the prep work on some Hordes Trollbloods and see if I like the new color scheme I have chosen. 
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.
It has been 2 years since I painted my last Trollbloods Solo and 2-1/2 years since my last Warbeast. I have always like the models of the Trollbloods, but painting the blue for me was very time consuming and I could not get it quite the way I liked it. I only like to play with painted models so most of my work is aimed at ‘table top quality’, I do spend some extra time on characters, but if it looks good to me then I am happy.
‘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.
