The Sophotect Challenge - 2

Yesterday, I responded to an unspoken challenge: show those Aleph jerks what they're missing by not running a Sophotect.

Now, I'm not a stickler for running painted models, but I figure that Sophie should be presentable before she hits the table.  As I mentioned last time, my goal is to have a fully painted Sophotect that I will include in every ISS list I make for the month after I finish.  The first step, of course, is to paint her.



Yesterday was step one of the process: I cleaned and assembled Sophie, and even went out to buy a small bottle of Vallejo black paint-on primer.  I'm usually a spray-on primer kind of person, but after waiting a good month for the LGS to get a non-GW black spray primer on their shelf, I've decided to try the paint-on stuff.



So far, I'm liking the Vallejo primer a lot.  It goes on smoothly, and I only needed 3-4 drops of the stuff to fully coat Sophie and her base.  The coverage is a little thin at times, but that's not a problem for primer.  Besides, winter is settling in, and I'm hesitant to spray outside/in the garage with the nasty temperatures of Canada's capital.  If I'm ever going to get my money's worth out of paint-on primer, now is the time!

Now, Sophie sits - fully primed - on my desk, waiting...

(Note: I have to apologize for not having pictures of my process, yet...my old camera suddenly stopped working, and the cell-cam just doesn't cut it.)

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!

Battle Report - Boudicca, Scourge of Rome VS Manfred Rochdale

Source:  https://grazdgfx.tumblr.com/post/171535938767 Yesterday, one of my playtesters and I met up to play the Black Telephone scenario (core 23). He has been waiting for the Once Forgotten to hit the table, as he's a huge fan of undead factions in other games. I decided to take up the Fair Ones this time, figuring that they would be more than curious to see what messages came through the phones from the other side - whatever the other side is. This time, we tested out adjusted point totals and played a 150 point game. By the end of it, we agreed that 200 point games might be a bit more interesting (more models, more options), but this game was a fun scrap over a few ringing phones.

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca is another Ravenous Beyond cult model, but unlike the Disciple of Malphas, she is more than able to sneak around on her own and cause damage behind enemy lines. This article will go through what the Devotee is capable of doing now, along with a quick look at a previous version, and how she might benefit your faction in a game of Pendant World .
