Few more Vampires
I've been busy painting up some Vampires for the army. Only the Coven Throne, Blood Knights, Zombie Dragon and Terrorghiest left to do. Hoping to finish sometime next week.

2400 Points vs Ogres
So recently I've not had time to have any games due to real life and painting so I managed to get a game in against one of my friends today. He wanted no restrictions and the points value of 2400. I told him I'm taking a competitive army as I haven't played for ages.
He took a competitive list too with inclusion of a Tyrant rather then Slaughtermaster. He also had 2 units of 2 Mournfang, 2 Ironblasters, Gutstar and some Orge Bulls aswell as characters and Sabretusks.
I took my usual 2x Grey Seer list, 3 Engineers, 3 Slaves blocks, 2 Clanrat units, 3 Rat Darts, Hell Pit, Doomwheel, 2 x Warp Lightning Cannons and 2 units of 6 or 7 Gutter Runners.
He wins first turn and is worried about the Cannons. Hits and wounds the first and only takes a wound. Shoots it down with the second Ironblaster. I stand and shoot vs a Sabretusk with the Gutter Runners and kill it. Get charged by a second. Drawn combat.
My turn my Hell Pit gets a 15" charge into a unit of 2 Mournfang. Doom wheel goes 4". Not much else. Magic doesn't do much. Cannon misfired and Doomwheel killed 3 of my Gutter Runners on other flank. Pass Panic test. I kill one Mournfang and win combat. He rolls Double 1 to stay in the fight.
He brings the rest forward including a charge with the Gutstar (including Tyrant and Bruiser) into the Doomwheel. Other unit of Mournfang fail a charge and go forward 2". Shooting brings down my other cannon. Magic does nothing again. Abomb kills second Mournfang and is now 3-4" away from an Ironblaster. Gutstar destroys Doomwheel and turn to my Clanrats with the expendable Plague Seer.
My turn, my Hell Pit charges his Ironblaster and all other units move accordingly to stop charges and distances. Magic phase I get 12 dice and 1 Warpstone Token still on both Seers. I cast Wither but its dispelled with his dice. He chose not to use the Hell Heart. A roll of 3 would of got my Plague Seer, and a 4 would have got my General. I then cast Skitterleap to put my Brass Orb 1" away from the Tyrant and Gutstar. Also cast Plague with a Power Scroll and take a few wounds on both Gutstar and Bull units. Shooting sees the Brass Orb thrown and hit the Ironguts. Tyrant, Butcher and 5 Ironguts disappear and the game seems mine now. Abomb munches the Ironblaster and over runs into the other one.
After this it was pretty straight forward. Abomb too the other Ironblaster, 2 more Mournfang and got the final kill of the game, the Stubborn BSB. In all I lost 560ish in points and he lost his whole army end of my turn 5.
So in my last 2 games vs Ogres I've tabled them. Still a tough match up. Want to try using my Furnace now and then soon my Screaming Bell. Oh and next time I'll take some photos to show you guys!

Krell
I completed this model today and thought I'd share it with you all. I have been busy finishing the Hexwraiths off but the bases need to be textured and run out of what I use so they haven't been photographed. Tomorrow I hope to have a few more characters for you to see. A vampire and maybe the married couple?

Scenery And Some Nice Words!
I thought I'd share with you all the house I scratch built with plasticard and cardboard and few extra plastic bits I had in the bits box. Nothing special and the painting was really quick as I need to carry on pressing with the Vampire Count army.
I also woke up to find a nice message from the chap who bought two of the three Necron models which were shown earleir this month. It's really nice to get feedback and I've never shared any before so heres the first -
"Hi there
I just wanted to let you know that I have received the wraiths and the stalker in perfect condition.
It was a pleasure unboxing and unwrapping it all, because I realize that you've put a lot of effort and thought into wrapping it safely. I wish I could give you more than five stars for that alone. I more often than not have to glue stuff back on after receiving them from UK sellers, but not this time.
Regarding the paint (and modeling) job: This is beautifully done and I'm so happy that I was determined to get them. I should have placed a much higher bid on your Canoptek Spider, but I already own three of the old tomb spiders, so I stupidly took a chance with the lower bid. I regret that now, seeing how well everything is done: From assembly and posing to the wonderful scenic bases and skillful paint job.
Thanks!
